SF Hispanic Heritage Festival | 2019

On September 20, 2019 at 6:30 pm, join the Off the Wall- Gallery Talk. There will have a panel discussion with graphic and poster artists.

  • Moderator- Jesus Barraza
  • Artists – Juan Fuentes, Calixto Robles, Ali Blum, Alyssa Aviles
  • Historian – Lincoln Cushing will talk about Bay Area Chicano/Latino poster workshops that preceded and were contemporaneous with Mission Grafica

The Off the Wall Gallery Talk is in connection to the Mission Gráfica Printmaking Studio’s Off the Wall Print Sale. Prints from the Mission Gráfica archive ranging from 1973-2019 will be available for purchase. These posters embody the Latinx community’s history, culture, and struggle for self-determination, exploring still-relevant subjects such as oppression, gentrification, displacement, and immigration.

The posters will be for sale in this exhibition, and collectors will be able to buy prints and posters and take them “Off the Wall” at the time of purchase. Join us and own a piece of history from the Mission.
