Precita Eyes tour maven Patricia Rose will conduct a virtual walk through Balmy Alley.
The pre-recorded talks are part of the upcoming Paseo Artístico event, on Saturday, March 20, to recognize local women artists, leaders, and cultural workers and highlight the importance of culture in communicating the messages of good health, planning a better future, and building the cultural institutions, traditions and small businesses that are helping us get through this crisis together.
This month's virtual event includes presentations from Metzi Henriquez, director of Fogo Na Roupa; Krissy Keefer, founder of Dance Mission; and Tania Santiago, Afro Brazilian dance creator. The event will also highlight local cultural leaders, educators and administrators, including Ariane Cortes, director of theSF school district's Mariachi music program, and performances by Mexican composer Martha Rodriguez-Salazar, and singer songwriter Carlie Mari.

Brava Theater will host members of Los Siete Organization including Donna James Amador and Maria Ramirez, along with poets Cathy Arellano and Tongo Eisen-Martin, DJ Leydis and others.
In honor of the Cesar Chavez Day Parade, also on April 13 along 24th Street, Acción Latina will host "La Colectiva de Mujeres: Baile Colectivo," women from the SF Day Laborers Program, in collaboration with Dance Mission, performing stories in dance about their experiences of working and living in the Mission.
This Paseo Artistico also coincides with the Flor y Canto Literary Festival organized by SF Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia, with poets and a special Word Jazz collaboration with jazz musician Marcus Shelby and his trio at Mission Cultural Center.
As always, there will be art classes and free workshops for all ages, including screen printing workshops with graphic artist Calixto Robles, and Kate Razo printing Michael Roman’s screenprints on paper, clothing and textiles.
