La Lucha Continua: a talking mural in San Francisco

"La Lucha Continua/The Struggle Continues" is the result of a 3 year collaboration between Susan Greene and Freedom Archives. Together they consulted with local community organizing and activist groups, neighbors and business owners, to consider which people to add to the mural. Many factors were taken into consideration, including: who lives in the Mission, what connections are to be made globally, and which historical figures have been largely forgotten.

The Mural itself was located between 3260 23rd St - between Mission and Capp Streets in San Francisco. Viewers could dial a number and enter an extension associated with each portrait of an important figure, and hear an audio clip by or about the revolutionary.

The collaboration between Greene and Freedom Archives was a natural one. Both parties are vitally concerned with the role history plays and with the ways in which histories can be revealed. During the now completed mural painting process Greene reports how people would stop and thank her, tears running down their faces to see familiar faces in the public space of the mural that they do not ever see otherwise in the urban landscape.
The collection includes audio and graphics related to the production of "La Lucha Continua".
