Los Angeles Canvas

Los Angeles Canvas examines some of the lesser-known aspects of Los Angeles' social, political and cultural life through a study of its traditional outdoors murals. A tradition inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and the Mexican Mural Movement. These murals have historically advocated for social justice, representing under-examined narratives that contest mainstream history and conveying the community’s cultural identity.
