This October, Acción Latina brings back Paseo Artistico, the free bilingual community art stroll on 24th Street in the Mission District. As we anticipate a very politically charged Fall 2024, this month’s theme is History Matters in the Mission 2000’s Edition and features art and performances that recall the decade’s moments of justice and unity including the election of the First Black President of the United States, the AntiWar protests and solidarity against the invasion of Afghanistan and the 2nd Iraq War, A Day Without Immigrants, Oscar Grant, invention of Social Media, and the Mission AntiDispacement Coalition. The History Matters in the Mission Series highlights the important issues and events of a different decade in the neighborhood’s past.
This month features the John Calloway Jazz Cuartet recalling the movement to end displacement in the Mission, rapper Equipto recalling the protests against police brutality after Oscar Grant, artists Evelyn Donaji, Corazon de Cedro and Lebanese poet Zeina Hashem Beck sharing poetry and music of Arab-Chicano solidarity, the premere of Precita Eyes Dia de Los Muertos exhibit, as well as a special feature by La Lengua Teatro en Enspañol Decolonization Stories Festival highlighting restistance music of bomba performed by La Mixta Criolla, Alexa Teviño and Ferando Ramirez sharing photos and screen prints recalling the power of A Day Without Immigrants and so much more.
