About this Event
Join KALW and MCCLA for Mission Grafica: The Public’s Voice, a poster art exhibition documenting nearly fifty years of Bay Area creative resistance.
Since 1977, the Mission Grafica print studio and archive has empowered public art in the Bay Area. This exhibition traces the evolution of Bay Area social justice movements through posters made by La Raza Graphics and the Mission Grafica print studio. These works advocate for civil rights, tenant protections, police accountability, and cultural resilience while also expressing a bold, joyful creative spirit. Mission Grafica: The Public’s Voice offers a living timeline of how artists have aligned beauty with justice in the face of power and change.
The exhibition is on view until January 30, 2026 at KALW’s Live Event Studio, 220 Montgomery Street in downtown San Francisco.
About the Organizers
The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) makes the arts accessible as an essential element to the community's development and well-being.
The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts was established in 1977 by artists and community activists with a shared vision to promote, preserve and develop the cultural arts that reflect the living tradition and experiences of the Chicano, Central and South American, and Caribbean people, and to make arts accessible as an essential element to community development and well-being.
MCCLA is a multicultural, multidisciplinary arts organization committed to the collaborative artistic vision of Latino art forms. MCCLA provides the community with an arena in which to develop new artistic skills, as well as support local and established artists that serve their community. MCCLA collaborates with other arts, social and humanitarian groups to provide the widest range of programming possible.
