A 300-foot mural completed in Anaheim on Wednesday is now greeting the community with artistic depictions of Chicano culture as part of the city’s effort to pay homage to the culture.
“It’s a big part of my life to have abuelos and abuelitas come through and walk around, enjoy the mural, the new art and having little kids inspired by it,” Cortez Velasquez said. “The overall feeling of love and the feeling I get back from the community, nothing could replace it ever in my life.”
Anaheim Mayor Pro Tem Natalie Rubalcava, who represents District 3 in central Anaheim, said it was a priority for her to ensure the city represented and honors Chicano heritage. The artwork by Lujan rests across the street from a mural that was painted in 1978 following the Chicano movement. Natalie Aguirre, a spokesperson for the city of Anaheim, said the new mural pays homage to the older artwork.
