Maestrapeace

2019 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Maestrapeace, the monumental and fabulously detailed mural that adorns two sides of the Women's Building in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood. Weaving in myriad female figures, historical and sacred, this public art work highlights women's accomplishments across time and continents, and envisions a world healed of injustices. With exquisite full-color photos throughout, this beautiful coffee table book allows readers to take an extended tour of the mural, revealing intricacies and the nuanced stories that may go unnoticed from a street-level view. Angela Davis's foreword provides a rich history of the mural and the seven muralists who collaboratively executed the work--a collective of women, itself a rarity in muralist tradition.
