Monday, September 9, 2019: Story, Art, Action! Muralismo

Julieta Kusnir talks with muralist Juana Alicia, one of the seven visionary creators of the iconic Maestrapeace mural project on San Francisco's Women's Building.  The murals are 35 years old this year and a spectacular new book from Heyday Press commemorates both the original production and the restoration, along with profiles of the artists (Juana Alicia, Miranda Bergman, Edythe Boone, Susan Kelk Cervantes, Meera Desai, Yvonne Littleton, and Irene Pérez), and work by seven Bay Area poets including Alice Walker, Genny Lim and Sandra Cisneros and Dvora Major with a foreword by Angela Y. Davis. The artists and writers will celebrate the book with two upcoming events in San Francisco.
