Dennis Broe Presents: Judy & El Taller Siqueiros

  • Museum of Latin American Art 628 Alamitos Avenue Long Beach, CA, 90802 United States (map)
 

Judy Baca, ever the innovator, can’t be confined within the walls of a single medium. But walls are where Baca’s work is best seen. Join us to learn about El Taller Siqueiros, the great Mexican muralist himself and how his work influenced Judy Baca’s murals today. This program will be held via Zoom Webinar format. Attendance is free with registration.
