How Can Art Change Public Space?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about how a mural or other piece of art can create community and conversation. Where has public art really made a difference? What are the limits on art in public spaces, and how do you go about getting public art made? Join us live at 11 or send us and email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Do you have favorite mural or public art piece? And what's the public space near you that could use some art? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Eric Drooker, a painter, graphic novelist, and illustrator
Susan Cervantes, founding director at Precita Eyes Muralists
Mona Caron, freelance illustrator and muralist

Your Call 112607 Not My Day Job--Positive change happening in our backyards

Who is working to improve your neighborhood? On Your Call, we’re kicking off a series sharing some local positive stories coming out of our communities. We hear about the doom and gloom in the world today but we know that’s not the whole story. We want to take the opportunity to recognize the work being done by everyday people right here. After a long day of work, they are spending their energy giving back. What are they up to and what lessons have they learned? It’s Your Call with me, Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Francisco Da Costa, Longtime Bayview Activist and Writer
Paul Larudee, Ph.D., Human Rights Activist for peace and justice in Palestine
Gillian Gillett, The San Jose/Guerrero Coalition
