About This Lesson
Learn about Chicana artist, activist and professor Judith Baca in this new video lesson from Sari Beth Rosenberg.
Students are introduced to Baca’s monumental contributions to the world of art and social justice, focusing on her use of murals as a medium to represent marginalized communities and tell the untold stories of history. Best known for her masterpiece The Great Wall of Los Angeles, one of the longest murals in the world, Baca’s work transcends art, offering powerful social commentary on themes such as civil rights, immigration, and cultural heritage.
This is the first time I'm learning about artist Judith Baca and her collaborative art mural project, The Great Wall of Los Angeles, which features the stories of America not often found in textbooks. Thank you to Sari for this informative new video lesson.
