NEXT SATURDAY//EL PRÓXIMO SÁBADO [English version appears first, the Spanish version is below] [La versión en inglés aparece primero, la versión en español está debajo] . Mural Dances kicks off on Sat July 17 in Pilsen! Amanda Ramirez is directing this first event in the series. The afternoon will be a cookout style event, including live dance, music, chalk drawing, and FREE paletas. Bring your picnic! . More about the mural: “Libertad” – Barrett Park Bordering the playground at Barrett Park in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, Libertad is a vibrant mural created in 2008 by a group of After School Matters students. Under the direction of artist Jesus Chucho Rodriguez, these talented teens first learned the history and tradition of mural making and graffiti art and were then encouraged to incorporate what they learned into their Barrett Park mural. It was the teens themselves who selected the theme of portraying leaders, activists and artists whom they found inspiring. Using a combination of traditional techniques and spray painting, they created a composition that revitalized the playground with a striking color palette while also reflecting the spirit of their community. Against a background of bold geometric patterns and budding flowers, they painted cultural luminaries including Cesar Chavez, Mahatma Gandhi, Frida Kahlo, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X, Rosa Parks and Emiliano Zapata. . Sat, July 17 in Barrett Park between 1pm and 3pm 2022 W. Cermak Rd, Chicago Mural Dances are FREE for all ages. BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) . Images 1 and 2 from rehearsal, taken by Amanda.
