The Great Wall of Los Angeles

The Great Wall of Los Angeles is a large mural painted along a concrete flood control channel in Los Angeles, created by artist Judith F. Baca and community volunteers. Spanning approximately half a mile, it depicts the diverse history and stories of California’s minorities and marginalized communities, highlighting moments of resilience and culture. The mural aims to promote understanding, celebrate diversity, and transform an otherwise utilitarian space into a powerful visual narrative that educates and inspires viewers about social history and collective identity.
