San Francisco artists fight for social justice and equity with their palettes

With a history of painting murals about political struggle, J Manuel Carmona has once again picked up his brushes and palette of paints to hit the streets of San Francisco. And this time, he’s drawing attention to the Black Lives Matter movement. 

“During the past couple of months we all had to look at our own lives and understand that not saying anything was actually contributing to the problem,” said Carmona, a queer Mexican-American artist.
