Thinkwalks presents an exploration walk:
Social Justice Mural Walk
Street art is graffiti. Street art is mural art. Street art is a staple. Literally.
Visiting Collette Crutcher’s sculpted mural on 16th Street
Have you ever noticed the inadvertent collection of poster staples on a wooden pole from a hundred years of community outreach? We’ll explore the Mission. We’ll find random aesthetic drama, along with specific murals and other stunning street art. Joel was a mural organizer before he started Thinkwalks. In the interim, he studied how Mexico’s revolution in 1910 bled art all over San Francisco.
Highlights: earliest known mural, Benny Bufano sculptures, Chinese democracy, art revolutions, Maestrapiece, Susan Greene, CAMP, ‘The Apartment’ by Andrew Schultz & Aaron Noble, Politec paints, anti-interventionisma, Timothy Pflueger, Mona Caron, public painting techniques, Collette Crutcher, Ralph Stackpole, Lucia & Arthur Mathews, Rigo 23, Diego Rivera, socialist realism.
Thousands of murals tucked away in secret places await your inquiring mind.
