PAINTED VOICES: Photographs of Mission Murals

Images of fences, garage doors, or the aluminum siding of homes take on new meaning when layered with painted expressions of deeply felt political action, spirituality, rebellion, playfulness and love – these murals assert the voice of the painters, and in many cases are a reflection of the collective hopes and dreams of a neighborhood. Architectural reminders are purposefully included to evoke a subtle sense of place, affirming that the murals are part of someone’s daily life, not art confined to museum walls.
