Judy Baca: Memorias de Nuestra Tierra


  • Museum of Latin American Art 628 Alamitos Avenue Long Beach, CA, 90802 United States (map)

Chicana muralist Judy Baca, who founded the first City of Los Angeles Mural Program in 1974, gets her first comprehensive retrospective. It features over 110 works, including large-scale paintings and sculptures, as well as preparatory sketches for major works like The Great Wall of Los Angeles, a half-mile-long mural in the San Fernando Valley. Ahead of her time in her embrace of art as a tool for social justice and activism, in the 1970s Baca worked with the city’s youth to embed the concerns of underrepresented communities into monumental public artworks.

General admission is $10.
