Beyond Walls: A Portrait of Muralist and Children’s Book Illustrator Maria Dominguez

“New York City is often called one of the art capitals of the world, and it even shows on its very walls. Puerto Ricans were a big part of this muralist movement. What’s more, Puerto Rican women carved a special place for themselves in this mostly male dominated field. One such woman who was critical in this movement in New York City was Maria Dominguez.” In this episode of “Puerto Rican Voices” by Centro Voices, which aired online on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016, and on TV Sunday, Feb. 14, 2016, learn more about SOFI AND THE MAGIC, MUSICAL MURAL’s illustrator, Maria Dominguez, and her place in the muralist movement. Click below to read the entire article and to view a quick clip of SOFI author Raquel Ortiz talking about the book:
