¡Murales Rebeldes! L.A. Chicana/o Murals Under Siege
California Historical Society, 678 Mission Street, San Francisco
April 7, 2018 – September 16, 2018
Tuesday’s thru Sunday’s, 11 am – 5 pm
The California Historical Society presents ¡Murales Rebeldes!, an exhibition exploring the ways in which Chicana/o murals in the greater Los Angeles area have been whitewashed, censored, neglected, and even destroyed. Murals became an essential form of artist response and public voice during the Chicano protests of the 60s and 70s. They were a means of expressing both pride and frustration, and challenging the status quo. Through photography, sketches, related art works, and ephemera, ¡Murales Rebeldes! tells the stories of murals by various artists whose messages were almost lost forever . . . until this exhibition.
