In this episode of Humane Rights, Dr. Akilah Cadet sits down with Bay Area based artist Dev Heyrana, a proud Filipina whose work spans large-scale paintings, murals, public sculptures, and community-driven art education.\n\nDev shares the story behind her third heart sculpture for San Francisco General Hospital—now installed in Union Square—and how her children's sense of wonder sparked the whole journey. She opens up about the self-portrait art classes she launched during the George Floyd uprising and the rise of anti-Asian hate, which grew from a three-class online series into a two-year movement and eventually a bestselling children's art kit developed alongside celebrated artist Kehinde Wiley.\nDev and Dr. Cadet also dig into Black and Asian solidarity, why white supremacy depends on keeping communities divided, and why joy and fearlessness are non-negotiable acts of resistance right now.\nHumane Rights is produced by Ciel Media.
