¡VIVA! Featured Artist Juana Alicia
The Library is thrilled to work with Juana Alicia Araiza (commonly known as Juana Alicia), one of the City’s most prolific muralists and arts educators. Nopal de la Misión, her watercolor design for a glass mural that will be a highlight of the Mission Branch Library renovation, is featured in this year’s iVIVA! campaign.
Juana Alicia has created murals and worked as a printmaker, sculptor, illustrator and studio painter for more than 30 years. Her style, akin to genres of contemporary Latin American literary movements, can be characterized as magical and social realism, and her work addresses issues of social justice, gender equality, environmental crisis and the power of resistance and revolution.
