The mural is up!

A small crowd gathered as the four of us installed our mural, “Together We Make Herstory” on an outside wall at my studio on 8th and Mountain Road this past Saturday! It was cold and windy but we had so much fun putting up our colorful prints with wheat paste (a common technique used by Oaxacan printmakers) and they are expected to endure the elements for at least six months.  

We are hoping to extend the project into other communities and settings.

Together We Make Herstory mural going up

Stop by the Julianna Kirwin Printmaking Studio this Saturday, April 17 at 10am to see our new mural being mounted on the outdoor wall along Mountain Road and 8th St!  Four women have created hand printed portraits of eight women. “We each chose two women that we wanted to showcase in our mural titled Together We Make Herstory,” states Lena Weiss. Pictured in the mural are Georgia O’Keefe, Dolores Huerta, Deb Haaland, Augusta Savage, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Amanda Gorman, Emma Gonzalez and one self portrait.
