Judy Baca quotes:

Who is the public now that it has changed color?

Break the mold! Have the biggest vision you can! If you can't dream it, it cannot occur!

I really don't want to produce artwork that does not have meaning beyond simple decorative values. I want to use public space to create a public voice, and a public consciousness about the presence of people who are, in fact, the majority of the population but who are not represented in any visual way. By telling their stories we are giving voice to the voiceless and visualizing the whole of the American story.
