Una Ceremonia Chicanx / Indigenous

The flyer has a warm, earthy color scheme with a light orange background. The top and bottom edges feature decorative horizontal bands with repeating geometric patterns in shades of red, orange, green, and black, reminiscent of woven textiles. The main title, "Renovando Nuestra Patrimonio," is prominently displayed in a large, bold, brown, slightly stylized font at the top center. Below this, in a smaller, brown, sans-serif font, it reads "Una Ceremonia Chicanx" and "César Chávez & Dolores Huerta Sitio de Homenaje." The event details are provided in the left-center of the flyer in a clear, brown, sans-serif font: "Parque de Cesar Chavez en Berkeley," followed by the address "11 Spinnaker Way, Berkeley Marina," and the date and time in a larger, bold, red font: "Domingo 1 de Junio, 2025" and "12 pm to 2 pm." To the right of the event details, in brown text, is an invitation in Spanish: "Únase a nosotros para una reunión ceremonial para reconectar en comunidad y renovar nuestra herencia e identidad colectivas como guardianes del planeta tierra." Below this, "EVENTO FAMILIAR Habrá:" is highlighted in bold, brown text. A list of activities follows in brown text: "MEXICA DANZA, COMIDA, CEREMONIA, GANADORES DEL CONCURSO DE POESÍA/ARTE DE BUSD, RECONOCIMIENTO DEL CÍRCULO DE ANCIANOS y una mesa informativa con astrónomos culturales sobre el funcionamiento del calendario en sitio de homenaje." The text "Patrocinado por:" appears in brown, followed by logos of sponsoring organizations along the bottom. From left to right: the logo for "Latinas Unidas de Berkeley" (featuring a stylized monarch butterfly), the City of Berkeley logo (featuring a silhouette of the Campanile and a bear), and the logo for "BAy ArEA HISPANO INSTITUTE for ADVANCEMENT" (with text and a stylized sun/geometric design). In the bottom right corner is a light blue QR code with the text "SCAN ME" in brown below it. The overall design evokes a sense of cultural celebration and community gathering, with its warm colors, decorative patterns, and clear presentation of event details in Spanish.
