I Am History highlights the experiences of Chicanx students in their traditional history education, encouraging history educators to acknowledge these perspectives and move towards culturally responsive history education. It is a poetic, educational, and emotive narrative that follows the story of Andrea Gutierrez, a young Chicana student who embarks on an intimate reflection of her place in history. Andrea struggles to connect to the material in her history class because she doesn't see herself reflected in the lectures or books.

Historically, cultural exclusion in education has been associated with promoting Euro-American ideals and suppressing minority cultural values deemed "un-American". Today, K-12 educators continue to present students with one-dimensional narratives from predominantly Euro-centric perspectives. Consequentially, students are disengaging from learning and feel powerless over their civic influence.

The textures, colors, and supporting visuals of this motion piece celebrate and pay homage to the geometric and pictorial nature of Pre-Columbian Mexica art found in manuscripts like the Codex Yohualli Ehecatl. The characters in I Am History are forward-facing figures whose faces are in profile, in style with the rendering of figures in the manuscripts.

The final deliverables for this project included a two-minute motion piece, a detailed process book, and a comprehensive research document. I Am History was displayed in the 2021 CU Denver Visual Arts Thesis show at the Emmanuel Art Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
