Las Muralistas: Our Walls, Our Stories is a 30-minute documentary directed by Javier Briones and edited by Claudia Escobar, in partnership with SFMOMA. The film features women muralists whose works cover the walls of San Francisco’s Mission District. The muralism movement that emerged in the 1970s in the Mission District marked the beginning of a tradition of activism, expression, and community building through public art. Hear from artists Juana Alicia, Smokie Arce, Susan Cervantes, Elaine Chu, Priya Handa, Yolanda López, Consuelo Méndez, Irene Pérez, Patricia Rodriguez, and more on their experiences, the impact of femmes in the movement, and the effort to make space for future muralistas.
This film was produced as part of Proyecto Mission Murals, a digital publication which examines the origins of the community mural movement in San Francisco’s Mission District from 1972 to 1988. The project was created in collaboration with Mission District community partners, and includes documentation of murals, oral histories, an audio zine, essays, a mural map, and new artists biographies.
