HERstory: Women Muralists of the Mission

Description

Join us to hear HERstory, the extraordinary history of San Francisco women muralists.  Murals began appearing in SF’s Mission District’s in the early 1970s, often serving as a means of political expression.  The initial artists were largely Latin American and male, but a small band of women, felt that they, too, could climb scaffolds and claim their voices.  They had to counter the prevailing macho culture but succeeded in bringing a distinctive creative vision.   A half century later, they are still painting and have nurtured a new generation of women muralists.  This walk will visually dazzle and give all a deeper appreciation of the Mission’s history and how women have shaped its landscape.
