JUDY BACA

Saturday, April 6, at 5 p.m.
Norris Cinema Theatre
Free Admission
RSVP NOW!

Internationally renowned Chicana muralist, public intellectual, and community activist Judy Baca is coming to USC!

The legendary L.A. artist will discuss her life and creative process, the transformative power of art and community engagement, and continuing work on the iconic, half-mile-long Great Wall of Los Angeles, which has involved more than 400 youth, artists, oral historians, and community members so far. Baca and artists from the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) are currently painting new sections of the mural as part of an exhibition and live studio installation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

The talk will be preceded by a screening of Mur Murs, Agnès Varda’s acclaimed documentary about the murals and visual landscape of Los Angeles in the early 1980s, when Baca was creating the Great Wall.
