Paseo Artístico: History Matters in the Mission
FREE Community Art Stroll
Saturday, October 23, 2021, 12pm - 6pm
Paseo Artístico: History Matters in the Mission is a mini historic tour down 24th street from York to Mission presented in the form of a street procession with live music on a flatbed truck, dancing in the street, giant puppets, and radical street theater originally introduced by the SF Mime Troupe in the 1960’s, with elements of today’s technology such as networked mobile devices and AR. The show documents important cultural, artistic and political events in the Mission District based in part on the archival material from 50 years of El Tecolote Bilingual Newspaper.
October’s Paseo Artístico features the premiere of “History Matters in The Mission,” a new docutheater performance by Paul S. Flores with Vanessa Sanchez, Pedro Gomez, Jonathan Youtt, Josue Rojas, Shamsher Virk, Jessica Recinos, Edna Mira Raia, Diana Aburto and more. The event is dedicated to Yolanda Lopez in honor of her artistic and local community contributions. Vero Majano, the Community Music Center’s Mission District Young Musicians Program, Dance Brigade, Mission Grafica, local poets and muralists also featured.
Performances are outdoors, except where noted. The art stroll travels up 24th Street from York to Mission Street. Featured murals will be activated featuring poetry performances by SFMOMA, with augmented reality experience through your smartphone. *** If raining, all live performances of HISTORY MATTERS IN THE MISSION will move to DANCE MISSION THEATER from 1PM-5PM***
