Of the mural exhibits, the most engaged with landscape architecture is The Great Wall of Los Angeles: Judith F. Baca’s Experimentations in Collaboration and Concrete, at the CSU Northridge Art Galleries, which opens October 14. The Great Wall of Los Angeles mural, more than a half mile long, has been the work of the Chicana artist Judith Baca since 1976, when she first enlisted local neighborhood youth to assist her in bringing it to life. Still a work in progress, the mural traces the history of Los Angeles, Southern California, and America from prehistory to the 1950s, with a keen eye on ignored and underserved populations. It’s a Howard Zinn-style focus on “suppressed histories,” says Mario Ontiveros, an art professor at CSU Northridge who curated the show. Along the way, the mural pays tribute to early LGBTQ fights for equality, women’s roles in supporting the war efforts during World War I and World War II, the forced assimilation of Native Americans, and dust bowl refugees’ flight to California. -- Landscape Architecture Magazine

So if UCLA builds this department-it's a very small department, and actually-and actually attracts scholarship, it's shocking to me that Cal State Long Beach or Cal State Northridge would have bigger programs or more significant programs. LA-this is the second greatest public school in the world behind Berkeley-to spearhead the movement, there has to be an academic sort of spearhead because society will do one thing, but what happens in academics, I think as long as it lasts, there will be an awakening conscience. Maybe nobody on campus will pay attention as students, right, we're all just walking around, but that people will read about this, know about this, every year they'll see 'Wow, it started at UCLA, that's where the first celebration was.' This isn't a national holiday, right? All the other states are still having Columbus Day. There was one smaller place that has Indigenous People's Day. I mean, it's a growing movement. Long Beach will get it. But we need to elevate consciousness a lot more than that. -- The Tab
