2060 Folsom Mural Installation by Jessica Sabogal in Los Angeles in memory of Yolanda Lopez (work and legacy to the Chicanx and feminist movements)
Jessica Sabogal is a cuir Colombian – American muralistx and printmaker from San Francisco whose large-scale public artworks attempt to document and disrupt. She births her creations from the following framework:
As artists, it is our duty to uplift the sacredness of women, people of color, the differently abled, queer and trans folks, immigrants and the undocumented, and our indigenous siblings, whom continue to face ongoing oppression and marginalization. I believe in the right to our own liberation, unbounded by man-made borders, white supremacy, and misogyny.
For the past 10 years, Sabogal has consistently reinvented what it means to be a muralistx in a male-dominated medium. She has continuously pushed the boundaries as an artist by utilizing her medium for social change, action and empowerment. Her murals have been commissioned by Facebook, Google, 20th Century Fox, the University of Southern California, the University of California, The University of Arizona, and The University of Utah among many others. Sabogal’s work has been featured in national and international news and media sources including CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, and the New York Times.
