Download and attend a neighborhood mural walk/drive/tour through the San Diego neighborhoods of Logan Heights, Sherman Heights and Golden Hills communities. Join us on Sunday May 21st for youth and family mural art workshops, spoken word, music and dance movement performances and local street food vendors serving healthy and delicious recipes.
The project seeks to inspire all community stakeholders to join voices to articulate a path for mural education, preservation and advocacy in the face of the challenges of gentrification, encroaching developers and the bureaucratic hurdles that immigrant, minority, and the poor face protectingtheir own “painted history books on walls”. Veteran Chicano Muralists, Mural Conservation Experts and Community Mural Artivists share best practices, case studies and innovations from across the United States and abroad.
