Twenty-nineteen 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. This beautiful book allows readers to take an extended tour of the mural, revealing intricacies and nuances that may go unnoticed from a street-level view. Angela Davis´s foreword provides a rich history of the mural and the seven artists who collaboratively executed the work-a collective of women, itself a rarity in muralist tradition. Maestrapeace, the book, enriches readers´ appreciation for the groundbreaking mural, and it makes this deep sense of place accessible to viewers across the globe.
