She and artists from the Social and Public Art Resource Center expand <em>The Great Wall of Los Angeles </em>into the 21st century, painting three sections of the mural at LACMA. LACMA’s exhibition presents murals from the 1960s and 1970s depicting the Chicano Movement, Watts Renaissance, the LGBTQ+ Rights Movement, and archival materials that have never been exhibited, revealing Baca’s process and innovations to muralism. Baca conceived <em>The Great Wall</em> (1975) as a monument to the people of California, featuring moments from prehistoric times to the 1950s. She collaborated with 400 youth and community members to design and paint the mural on the walls of the L.A. River to tell history from the perspective of those erased from it. After the artists complete the paintings at LACMA, they will add them to <em>The Great Wall</em>, creating a mile of visual history. </p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1 border-compare border-left"> <div class="visible-xs"> <div class="mobile-body"> <div class="read-more" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFull" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample"> <span class="icon"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" style="enable-background:new 0 0 100 100;" xml:space="preserve"> <style type="text/css">   </style> <g> <g> <defs> <path id="SVGID_1_001" d="M58.4,52L29.2,22.6c-1.6-1.6-1.6-4.1-0.1-5.6l2.9-3c1.4-1.4,3.9-1.4,5.5,0.2l31.3,31.6 c0.2,0.1,0.4,0.3,0.6,0.5l2.9,3c0.7,0.7,1,1.6,1.1,2.5c0.1,1.1-0.3,2.2-1,3l-2.9,3c-0.2,0.2-0.4,0.3-0.6,0.5L37.5,89.8 c-1.6,1.6-4.1,1.6-5.5,0.1l-2.9-3c-1.4-1.4-1.4-4,0.1-5.6L58.4,52z"/> </defs> <use xlink:href="#SVGID_1_001" /> <clipPath id="SVGID_2_001"> <use xlink:href="#SVGID_1_001" style="overflow:visible;"/> </clipPath> <g class="st0"> <g> <defs> <rect id="SVGID_3_001" x="-4232.8" y="-4771" width="4680" height="5785"/> </defs> <use xlink:href="#SVGID_3_001" /> <clipPath id="SVGID_4_001"> <use xlink:href="#SVGID_3_001" style="overflow:visible;"/> </clipPath> <rect x="11.7" y="-3.3" class="st1" width="78" height="110.5"/> </g> </g> </g> </g> </svg> </span> Read More </div> <div class="full collapse" aria-expanded="false" id="collapseFull"> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>For the first time in her practice, Judy Baca transforms a museum into a studio.
