"Painted Voices: Photographs of Mission Murals by Miriam Romais."
Curated by Andrea Arroyo.
January 16-March 3, 2012
OPENING RECEPTION: Monday, January 16, 6-8pm
The Grady Alexis Gallery at El Taller Latino Americano is pleased to present "Painted Voices: Photographs of Mission Murals by Miriam Romais." Curated by Andrea Arroyo.
"Images of fences, garage doors, aluminum siding or windows 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 an expression of the hopes and dreams of a neighborhood. Architectural reminders are purposefully included to evoke a subtle sense of place."
A percentage of all sales will be donated to Precita Eyes in San Francisco, an organization that has been instrumental in their creation and preservation.
