So pleased and happy to have been reached out, interviewed and included in this research proyect about our work as MUJERES MURALISTAS in the history of art of la Mission, SF, CA. Proud, happy and stimulated to keep making my art. Thank you team

Beautifully done. Poetic language as an interpretation of painted walls. I love the way Spangish is claimed, and I love the way Juana and Susan's voice are intertwined in the segment on their collaboration.

Since this track is long, we created a table of contents to help. Check it out in the track description.

Take an audio stroll through San Francisco’s Mission District and learn about the murals seen throughout the neighborhood and the artists who collaborated to create them. Local writers Olivia Peña and Josiah Luis Alderete interweave their perspectives on the history of the Mission Muralismo movement with stories from the muralists themselves.
