During one of the most emotionally trying times of Ani Rivera\u2019s tenure as executive director of Galer\u00eda de la Raza, hundreds of community members rallied to her side July 1, supporting the 45-year-old institution as it copes with an arson attack against its highly publicized Latina\/o LGBTQ-themed mural.<\/p>\n

The subject of much controversy and threatening attacks via social media, the \u201cPor Vida\u201d mural located at the corner of 24th and Bryant streets was set afire on late June 29, leaving its left-hand side a charred ruin.<\/p>\n

A digital mural\u2014meaning transferred from a digital image rather than painted\u2014\u201cPor Vida\u201d was dedicated on June 13 after being commissioned by Galer\u00eda and completed by artist Manuel Paul of the Los Angeles-based Maric\u00f3n Collective. It depicted two same-sex couples in lowrider, Latino-style clothing gently embracing, and a third transgender man in the center. The arsonist, who was caught on camera attacking the mural on June 29 at about 11p.m., only destroyed the image of the male couple embracing.<\/p>\n

When Rivera arrived around 11:35 p.m., she was met by members of both the San Francisco police and fire departments and tenants who live on the floor above Galer\u00eda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were so upset,\u201d Rivera said of the tenants. \u201cThey were like, \u2018We didn\u2019t ask for this.\u2019 And I get it. This is their home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivera said surveillance footage revealed a neighbor from across the street running toward the mural with a fire extinguisher before firefighters arrived. The arsonist attack marked the third time the mural was defaced.<\/p>\n

As of press time, Galer\u00eda hadn\u2019t decided when it will restore the mural again, saying that its priority now is to ensure the safety of the building and the tenants.<\/p>\n

From social media threats to felony arson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Por Vida became a target of social media threats almost immediately after its dedication on June 13. Perhaps its most outspoken and influential detractor has been a man with the Instagram handle barrio2barrio who, on June 15, wrote that the mural was \u201cdisrespectful\u201d and that \u201cwe don\u2019t play that up here.\u201d After more inflammatory posts in the following days, barrio2barrio was contacted by various media outlets for an interview, but declined, though his posts reveal he was offering to coach others on how to speak to the media.<\/p>\n

Vandals first defaced the mural with red and light blue spray paint on June 16, crossing out the images of the same-sex couples, while leaving the center image of the transgender man untouched. Upon learning it was a transgender man, the vandals returned to cross him out as well.<\/p>\n

Supporters of the mural responded by the dozens, some writing from as far as Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, while many helped restore the mural on June 18, peeling off the old vandalized layer before installing another $3,000 panel.<\/p>\n

The mural was defaced again on June 20 with black spray paint. Footage from Galer\u00eda\u2019s surveillance cameras shows two individuals vandalizing the mural.<\/p>\n

\"Mural<\/a><\/p>\n

Dozens of comments ensued after barrio2barrio\u2019s first post, most of which were riddled with homophobic slurs, anti-southern California gang rhetoric, and threats to deface the mural. In one of the comments, Instagram user neeks408\u2014whose account is private\u2014wrote \u201cI\u2019ll make sure that it is crossed out,\u201d to which barrio2barrio responded, \u201chopefully someone does.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the June 29 arson attack, an Instagram user called _gemini07_, who has been vocal about his animosity toward the mural, commented, \u201cthe Mission gonna keep tagging that bs till bullet wholes [sic] cover it instead of paint I know alot of homies that ain\u2019t never gonna let this fly\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take that as a direct threat,\u201d Rivera said, noting that she sent images of the post to the San Francisco police detective working the case.<\/p>\n

\"Mural<\/a><\/p>\n

An hour after the mural was set afire, _gemini07_ posted \u201cValio la Pena see yall later,\u201d which is Spanish for \u201cIt was worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of press time the arsonist hasn\u2019t been identified.<\/p>\n

On June 30, Rivera turned over Galer\u00eda\u2019s surveillance footage from June 20 and June 29 to the SFPD, cooperating with the department\u2019s active investigation. SFPD spokesperson Albie Esparza confirmed the police are investigating arson, hate crime enhancement and vandalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, we have to call it for what it is: It\u2019s a hate crime,\u201d Rivera said. \u201cIt\u2019s based on things they don\u2019t understand. They\u2019re trying to hide behind issues that are justifying their hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

The history of Galer\u00eda\u2019s digital mural<\/strong><\/p>\n

Galer\u00eda inherited the mural space in 1974, fighting back marketing companies who were trying to peddle beer and cigarette ads there, but has existed in its digital form since the early 1990s.<\/p>\n

Rivera, who has been Galer\u00eda\u2019s executive director for three years but involved with the organization since 2003, called the mural a space to push the envelope for dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether we agree with it or not, it brings visibility to these issues that are important. And as a community we have to sit with that and understand how we must evolve,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re not arguing whether the homeboys or the groups of the 24th street have or do not have queer folks, we never made that declaration. Our declaration was our commitment and love for oldies and lowrider art, and how it reflected and helped shape a Chicano\/queer identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erick Arguello, president of the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District Council, was surprised the mural was defaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very diverse group of people that attended [the mural\u2019s dedication]. A lot of lowriders were there. We have seen that kind of vandalism in the past, but it\u2019s been such a long time,\u201d Arguello said. \u201cI thought it was something the queer Latino community was creating in establishing itself part of the larger Latino community, where for years it was very invisible, even though gay Latinos are everywhere in the community\u2026in the lowrider Chicano community also.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cPor Vida\u201d mural, which is slated for display until the end of July, isn\u2019t the first Galer\u00eda mural targeted by homophobic attacks. In 2000, Alma Lopez\u2019s \u201cHeaven,\u201d which drew the ire of community homophobes with an image of two women embracing, and a grandmother in the background wearing a look of \u201cay dios mio\u201d disgust, was vandalized.<\/p>\n

The Mission\u2019s Cultural Amnesia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Por Vida\u2019s detractors claim the artists who created it don\u2019t properly represent the Mission\u2019s Latino community, and that \u201cgay vatos\u201d have never existed, and that Latino lowrider culture \u201cisn\u2019t gay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some longtime Mission residents, however, dispute that.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueer people are just resilient; you know how to navigate in all systems, even in the systems of the hood,\u201d said Vero Majano, a Mission native and artist with Galer\u00eda\u2019s \u201cThe Q Sides\u201d exhibition. Growing up in the early 1980s, Majano recalled the gay Latino club scene on 16th Street and how many gay people in the Mission had to keep their identity on the \u201cDL.\u201d (Down Low)<\/p>\n

And apparently some of them were cholos.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, honey, they always have existed,\u201d said artist Viviana Paredes, a native of East San Jose who used to cruise the Mission in her 1949 black Cadillac. Having lived in the Mission for the last 40 years and being one of the founding members of the Gay Latino Alliance (GALA), Paredes too recalls the gay club scene in the Mission, working as a bartender at both Esta Noche on 16th street and Sophia\u2019s right around the corner on Valencia. There was La India Bonita too on Valencia Street. And the Mexican restaurant La Rondalla\u2014a big gay hangout where a drag queen named Teresita used to sing along with local mariachi.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the guys, who are unfortunately not with us, they were all vatos,\u201d Paredes said, sadly recalling the Latino faces in the creased khakis pants and ironed white t-shirts, with the sleeves slightly folded. \u201cWhen AIDS hit, it just wiped out all of the guys, so many\u2026 it was a really hard and sad time. But a lot of those guys were really cholo\u2014in their style, and in their dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paredes\u2019 brother Conrado was one of those who died of AIDS, but that history doesn\u2019t resonate with some young men on 24th Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of them [the mural\u2019s detractors] was telling me that they\u2019re not anti-gay, but the problem that they have is depicting the Chicano lowrider community as gay in that image,\u201d Arguello said. \u201cSo I understand that part, they identify with something, very unique to them \u2026 It\u2019s almost like we\u2019re talking about the same thing. The gay Latino community wants to feel like they belong in their own community and [are] accepted, and [detractors are] fearing that that\u2019s being taken from them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous for any group of people to think that there\u2019s not gay people within their style, their social clubs,\u201d said Paredes, who was in her early 20s at the height of Anita Bryant\u2019s anti-gay political campaign, when a gay club where she was bartending in San Jose was set on fire while patrons were inside. Luckily, no one was hurt that night either.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is, we\u2019re used to this. People are always doing something to try to scare us, intimidate us\u2014harm us,\u201d Paredes said. \u201cLook what it does to our community. It only brings us back stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Galer\u00eda is looking to host a community discussion, possibly on July 18.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
