Businesses and community organizations along 24th Street are providing artists space for the creation of altars. Brava has engaged the following artists in the creation of altars in our three storefront windows:
Artists Vola Ruben & Maria Pinedo have created the altar “No Just No Peace” for Breonna Taylor (1993-2020) and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020).
Artist Alyssa Aviles altar honors victims of femicides and violence inflicted by male fragility. It is a tribute to lives lost by intimate partner violence, sexual assault, state and federal abuse against womxn, the assault of indigenous womxn and transphobia. The portraits featured in the altar symbolize targeted demographics of murdered womxn. Included in the installation are: Vanessa Guillen, Oluwatoyin Salau, Dominique Fells, Marisela Ecobedo and Tiffany Morrison. The multi-media installation is inspired by the work of Ana Mendieta, an artist whose work questioned society's violence and discrimination against women, and whose fate ultimately grouped her within the same statistic that she ademantely fought for. This piece honors the divine feminine, the concept of two-spirit and gender fluidity, and the courage that all womxn brave on this earth. Ni una más!
The altar created by youth artists in Brava’s San Francisco Running Crew honor all of those that have died unnecessarily in 2020 due to the Covid 19 pandemic and systemic racism. Focusing on traditional elements of ofrendas, such as marigolds and social causes, the main backdrop will consist of nine pieces.
