Beyond the Paint episodes

  • Introducing Season Three: Bay Area Public Art and Monuments
    Public art transforms landscapes, builds our collective memory, and reveals distinctive characteristics of our city through shared experiences that add meaning to our everyday lives. Across the nation, monuments were toppled in protest to demand a reexamination of the narratives in our country's history, demonstrating how public art can be a reflection of our communal values.
    Season 3 of Local Voices engages with critical global conversations of power and representation highlighting Bay Area public spaces and the thoughtful hands redefining them.
    Through intimate conversations, we will hear from artists and community leaders who are exploring the ways in which public art sparks dialogue and promotes creative expression as a tool for social change.
