Abstract

This essay examines how the Chicana feminist muralist Juana Alicia fosters environmental justice activism that values vulnerable lives in her two most famous murals, both painted at Twenty-Fourth and York Streets in San Francisco’s Mission District: Las Lechugueras (1983) and La Llorona’s Sacred Waters (2004). It explores how Juana Alicia gives visual form to an environmental ethics that prompts a politics of inclusion, equitable resource distribution, and bodily diversity. Juana Alicia’s murals remind us what antiracist, feminist, disability, environmental, and other social justice movements share: an investment in radical interdependence between different kinds of bodies and beings. They depict disabilities created by environmental hazards (including pollution, pesticide poisoning, and the privatization of water) without reducing disability to tragedy, prompting viewers to envision a world in which working-class communities of color are not forced to bear the brunt of environmental risk.
脆弱的身体
这篇文章探讨了墨西哥女权主义壁画家胡安娜·艾丽西娅如何在她最著名的两幅壁画中促进环境正义行动主义,这些壁画都是在旧金山教会区的第二十四街和约克街绘制的:《拉·勒丘格拉斯》(1983年)和《拉·洛洛娜的圣水》(2004年)。它探讨了胡安娜·艾丽西亚如何以视觉形式呈现环境伦理,促进包容政治、公平资源分配和身体多样性。胡安娜·艾丽西亚的壁画提醒我们反种族主义、女权主义、残疾人、环境和其他社会正义运动的共同点:对不同种类的身体和生命之间的根本相互依存的投资。他们描绘了由环境危害(包括污染、农药中毒和水的私有化)造成的残疾,而不是把残疾变成悲剧,促使观众想象一个有色人种的工人阶级社区不再被迫承受环境风险的冲击的世界。
