Hitachi Vantara commemorated International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples this week through Let's Art About It's experiential workshops! Art making is a part of every culture, and every culture has creative tools that have the power to help us connect deeper to ourselves and each other in a way that transcends words. We love opportunities to share our work through Diversity and Inclusion initiatives with employers across the globe!

A special thanks to our amazing team member Ana Ruth Castillo, M.A., for sharing her expertise from both an Art Therapist and Indigenous Mayan perspective.
