Sunarte by Juana Alicia
Juana Alicia’s SANARTE: Diversity’s Pathway represents healing traditions worldwide, community cooperation, the internal work we do to heal ourselves as well as the social and natural movements that have brought about diversity, with a focus on the special history of UCSF.
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Juana moved to the Bay Area in 1973 and works in a variety of media as a muralist, illustrator, print maker, and painter. She is best known for large-scale murals, particularly in San Francisco and Central America that are infused with social, political, and spiritual themes.
Juana was selected through the efforts of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Diversity to celebrate the diversity at UCSF. The murals are the result of in-depth historical research and design development, in dialogue with students, staff, and community members.
Juana Alicia has been in this website before. You can see her murals in the Mission District here.
Beautiful murals. Very artistic!
