Jane Addams Hull-House Museum hosted a commemoration with Zac Bleicher from the Edgar Miller Legacy showcasing Torres' work in the 1920's and 30's. Chicago-based artist Moises Salazar Tlatenchi gave a non-traditional presentation on their art and practice in relation to the themes of Chicago, Mexico, immigration, family, and Hull-House. Presentations were followed by a discussion, Q&A, and a hands-on activity of Torres' own artistic vocation.
