LOS ANGELES — Artist Judy Baca and a team of artists from the Social and Public Art Resource Center, also known as SPARC, have been working inside LACMA’s gallery space to create an expansion of “The Great Wall of Los Angeles,” a large-scale public art mural dedicated to the stories of the marginalized communities that have shaped California’s history.
The new section of mural, depicting the figures and histories of the 1960s, will be transferred and added to the original mural created in 1975 in the San Fernando Valley’s Tujunga Wash.
New mural sections devoted to the decades following the 1960s are in the works as well, to be created at other studios, and will be completed in 2027 in time for the Olympic Games.
