This retrospective of distinguished artist Juana Alicia features paintings, drawings, prints, books, and sculptures. While she is best known for her work as a muralist, this exhibition will present her art within the context of a truly multi-disciplinary artist. Reflecting Latin American literary movements such as magical and social realism, her work addresses issues of social justice, gender equity, environmental crisis, and the power of resistance and revolution.
Splitting her time between her homes in San Francisco, California, and in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, Alicia founded and directed the True Colors Mural Project, which supports the development of young artists through the creation of public murals. Her vibrant artworks embody diverse cultural and social perspectives and compel the viewer to consider other ways of looking and understanding.
