The History, Legacy, & Continued Impact of the Mujeres Muralistas

The Mujeres Muralistas were an all-woman collaborative of Chicana artists based out of San Francisco’s Mission District in the 1970s. They have painted some of the most well-known and historic murals San Francisco from Balmy Alley and beyond. The Mujeres Muralistas created landmark murals such as Latinoamerica (on Mission Street between 25th & 26th streets), MaestraPeace (San Francisco Women’s Building), and 500 Years of Native Survival (Balmy Alley). Join us for a discussion with three members of the Mujeres Muralistas: Patricia Rodriguez, Ester Hernandez, and Irene Perez, about their careers and current work. Terezita Romo, Lecturer and Affiliate Faculty in the Chicana/o Studies Department at the University of California, Davis, will moderate the discussion.
