Hearts of Gold, Fists of Fury Mural Appears in SF Bay Guardian
Take a walk along Clarion Alley in the Mission and you will see Oasis' Hearts of Gold, Fists of Fury mural. Erected in 2004, the mural resurfaced on the cover the SF Bay Guardian SCENE insert this summer. This mural was the creation of the summer 2004 Arts Apprenticeship Program. The mural addresses historical feminist leadership through contemporary pop iconography.

This summer's Arts Apprenticeship is a collaboration with Jo Kreiter and Flyaway Productions. Girls will be performing an aerial dance and share their findings around "Truth Telling." Check out two nights of performances on Wednesday, August 13 and Thursday, August 14 at CounterPULSE Studios at 9th and Mission Street in SoMa.
