Local Voices Season 3, Episode 1, examines the issue of power and representation through art in our public spaces. 

Through conversations with the women of the Black Panther Party Mural and the #SayHerName movement, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, sculptor Dana King, Susan Cervantes, muralist and founder of Precita Eyes, artist Catherine Wagner, the artists, organizers, and activists of the collective See Black Womxn and artist Lava Thomas, we explore how these accomplished individuals usher in diverse representation and change the Bay Area's landscape.

The Local Voices podcast has a weekly cadence. Check out our playlist here.
