Judy Baca Transforms Lacma into a Studio: Charting the History of Los Angeles
Judy Baca, a feminist artist known for her work in the Mexican muralist tradition, is currently working on a new chapter of “The Great Wall of Los Angeles” at the Resnick Pavilion at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Lacma). The mural showcases scenes from the 1960s and 70s, highlighting the Farmworkers’ Movement, the Chicano Movement, and the Watts cultural renaissance. The project, which is being painted on a 350ft panel of fabric, will later be applied to the original outdoor wall at the Tujunga Wash. Baca’s unconventional approach to displaying her work outside of traditional museum spaces has drawn attention to this important part of American history.
