Lucia Ippolito is the daughter of well-known San Francisco artist Tirzo Araiza, and her stepmother is Juana Alicia, one of the creators of the famed Maestrapeace mural on the San Francisco Women's Building and other iconic works. Lucia worked with her father on Mission Makeover, a mural about gentrification in San Francisco's Balmy Alley, in the heart of the Mission District.  On Saturday, October 13, Lucia and a group of women artists will unveil Women of the Resistance, Balmy's newest mural, with a block party including tables, a DJ, a shamanic invocation, Aztec dancing and live music.  Women of the Resistance also tells a multigenerational story.  Join us to hear Lucia talk about her inspirations, how the mural came together, and the impact of murals on a neighborhood fighting for its survival.

Monday, February 23, 2016: Miki Kashtan on Creating a Nonviolent Future

Hello Friends,

It's that time again. KPFA is in its winter fund drive and I'm asking all of my friends to do what you can to support Women's Magazine and the type of feminist and gender-oriented programming we provide. As you know, we are the only show on the airwaves in the immediate Bay Area dedicated to foregrounding gender issues and women's voices on every show. This is a precious resource and we need to show that listeners value it.

Today Lisa Dettmer talks with internationally known Nonviolent Communication facilitator Miki Kashtan about her vision of a world where we can cooperate fully with each other and where all our needs are attended to which is meticulously described in her inspiring new book "Reweaving Our Human Fabric-Working Together to Create a Nonviolent Future."

Buddhist teacher Joanna Macy describes her innovation in social change theory which follows in the lineage of Gandhi and MLK as blowing the lid off nonviolent communication as a personal development resource expanding its potential to transform the largest systems and norms that govern our world.
