Saturday, April 23, 2022, we rode through Downtown San Jose and explored the city's vibrant murals that have become a visual representation of the city and its community. This tour provided a compelling new perspective on the way we see murals in San Jose and allowed us to reflect on what is being presented to us in public space.
We experienced the stories that produced these murals, for whom they were intended, and who were they funded by; this information provides a painted picture of the cultural economy of San Jose and highlights the crucial role of the artist as they exhibit a cultural identity inspired by the city's site history, agglomeration, and locational specialization.
