Human Rights Day- Public Art Walk

Galería de la Raza is proud to partner with the Heising-Simons Foundation and other museums, cultural institutions, and community organizations across San Francisco to honor International Human Rights Day!

Galeria’s 50+ year history has been rooted in advancing social inclusion and justice, and our community’s self-determination through arts & culture. This partnership is a natural representation of our mission; our  programs have upheld the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights Article 27, Section 1 that states “Everyone has the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community”. 

From December 9-13, we celebrate San Francisco’s unique place in the global human rights movement. In 1945, delegates from 50 nations gathered here to sign the United Nations Charter, laying the foundation for international human rights protections. In the decades since, San Francisco has been at the forefront of movements for labor rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, disability rights, and immigrant justice.

Join Galería to honor this legacy on December 12 for a guided public art walk in the Mission District neighborhood! Learn about the neighborhood’s legacy and contributions in elevating human rights through arts and culture. This walk will center the impact of public art, especially murals, which have played a significant role in policy and advocacy for communities of the global majority.
