Art Viewing Adventures: Mission Murals (Virtual)

Murals first appeared in the Mission in the 1970s and soon became central to the area’s identity. Over the decades, artists have used the walls of the Mission, its buildings, and entire alleyways to give voice to matters of social and political importance to the neighborhood. Pictured in this lecture are murals around Precita Park accompanied by the stories that inspired the murals. Some of the murals in Balmy Alley are also presented together with a display of powerful works expressing feelings about immigration, war, gentrification, as well as healing and celebration of women and Latinx culture. This is a fitting presentation to ready us for Latino Heritage Month.
