This October, Acción Latina brings back Paseo Artistico, the free bilingual community art stroll on 24th Street in the Mission District. As we anticipate a very politically charged Fall 2024, this month’s theme is History Matters in the Mission 2000’s Edition and features art and performances that recall the decade’s moments of justice and unity including the election of the First Black President of the United States, the AntiWar protests and solidarity against the invasion of Afghanistan and the 2nd Iraq War, A Day Without Immigrants, Oscar Grant, invention of Social Media, and the Mission AntiDispacement Coalition. The History Matters in the Mission Series highlights the important issues and events of a different decade in the neighborhood's past.

This month features the John Calloway Jazz Cuartet recalling the movement to end displacement in the Mission, rapper Equipto recalling the protests against police brutality after Oscar Grant, artists Evelyn Donaji, Corazon de Cedro and Lebanese poet Zeina Hashem Beck sharing poetry and music of Arab-Chicano solidarity, the premere of Precita Eyes Dia de Los Muertos exhibit, as well as a special feature by La Lengua Teatro en Enspañol Decolonization Stories Festival highlighting restistance music of bomba performed by La Mixta Criolla, Alexa Teviño and Ferando Ramirez sharing photos and screen prints recalling the power of A Day Without Immigrants and so much more. History Matters in The Mission also asks local artists to utilize El Tecolote Bilingual Newspaper digital archives to direct the subject matter and historical figures to be highlighted in the performances and shows.

History Matters in the Mission Full show

Click above to see entire show of History Matters in the Mission video from October 23, 2021

History Matters in the Mission (HMM) documents important cultural, artistic and political events in the Mission District based on the archival material from 50 years of El Tecolote Bilingual Newspaper, and interviews with local legendary artists and activists from the early 1970’s including Yolanda Lopez, Michael Ríos, Juan Gonzales, Joan Holden and Carlos Barón. Lead artist and director Paul S. Flores interviewed each local luminary to craft performances as both interpretations and reenactments of important events in The Mission from the 1970’s that still resonate today. Flores collaborated with choreographer Vanessa Sanchez, who also plays Yolanda Lopez, and musician Pedro Gomez, costume designer Jessica Recinos, puppeteer Jonathan Youtt, actress Edna Mira Raia, and Augmented Reality designer Shamsher Virk, to recreate the sounds and looks of the five Mission luminaries whose stories will be performed at different sites along 24th Street in the Latino Cultural District. Each outdoor site and venue will host a 5-10 minutes performance highlighting one of the local legends. Augmented Reality featuring videos, artwork and archival photos from El Tecolote will be available for download through your smartphone.
