The 1960s—A Generation on Fire: Judy Baca’s Great Wall of Los Angeles

Celebrated Chicana artist Judy Baca’s half-mile-long The Great Wall of Los Angeles, a collaborative mural begun in the ’70s along the Tujunga Wash, has received all sorts of museum love in the past few years, including at a LACMA show where the muralist and her team painted new sections of the work during museum hours. Now, Baca and her Social and Public Art Resource Center team are the center of a new exhibition at the Skirball, where you can see recently completed mural sections focused on the 1960s—in particular the Civil Rights Movement—that soon will be part of the larger work.
