Precita Eyes Muralists Association offers a guided mural tour focusing on community stories of resistance and resilience in San Francisco.
In her latest body of work, Hayv Kahraman grapples with the loss of her Altadena home during last year's Eaton Fire. The women in her paintings channel a sense of magic, wonder, and ritual as they contort their bodies or dance across the canvas. Kahraman herself endured the traumatic displacement from her native Iraq as a child during the first Gulf War, and she incorporates symbols from her heritage, such as Sufi talismans and the Anqā, a phoenix-like bird from Arab mythology.
