Muralist Josu\u00e9 Rojas points to the recently completed mural honoring Sean Monterrosa, located at South Van Ness Avenue and 24th Street. Photo: Rebeca Flores Credit:<\/span> Rebeca Flores<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On a branch that stretches from Argentina to El Salvador is a toucan bird, its small claws perch the bird up, its yellow beak peaks brilliantly through a green forest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Latinoam\u00e9rica we call them Tuc\u00e1nes, the infamous bird with a beak bigger than its body. It was Sean Monterrosa\u2019s favorite symbol to use in his art and it was also what his friends knew him as, Tucan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2020, Monterrosa was fatally shot by Vallejo police. This particular police department has an officer shooting rate that results in deaths 38 times more than the national rate, according to KQED <\/a>. Officer Jarrett Tonn has a history of shooting and wounding young men while in pursuit of detainment, based on the belief that they have a gun. A total of four suspects have been shot according to this reasoning, no guns have ever been found by Tonn, according to OpenVallejo<\/a>. Jarret Tonn killed Monterrosa based on the reasoning that young 22-year-old Monterrosa was carrying a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wasn\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside in a Walgreens parking lot \u2014 Sean raised his arms up, complying with orders from police. While sitting in the back seat from the comfort of his police vehicle, Tonn fired 5 shots. The bullets shot straight through the front car window, taking the life of Monterrosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minutes before, Monterrosa was attending a protest for George Floyd, a Black man who was murdered while in Minneapolis police custody less than a month before in May. It was on this night, that Monterrosa texted his sisters Michelle and Ashley, asking them to sign a petition seeking justice for George Floyd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something to be said here \u2014 the Aztec gods gave tuc\u00e1nes the gift of being a messenger. The gods would place messages and stories inside the long beak and send the tuc\u00e1n flying down to deliver a birdsong to la gente. There\u2019s poetry inside Monterrosa using his voice for George. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSean was a young person and he was robbed of that. Imagine the many seeds \u2014 if he was still here, he would have planted onto more young people,\u201d said Michelle Monterrosa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In pursuit of justice for Monterrosa\u2019s life and legacy \u2014 artists Josu\u00e9 Rojas, Angel Velazquez, and Anthony Jimenez, created a mural project that has been three years in the making. Approved by the owners of the building, Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), it was unveiled to the public in late October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mom grew up taking Sean Monterrosa and his sisters to church, and that\u2019s how I know them,\u201d said Josu\u00e9 Rojas, lead artist on the mural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young Monterrosa planted seeds in his Mission District community by participating in the Boys and Girls Club, working with Horizons Unlimited, and using his resourcefulness to start his own business of selling hotdogs to make his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving on your mind that you’re actually doing something for somebody that is no longer with us,\u201d Fellow artist on the project Angel Velazquez said. Angel is only a few years younger than Sean and although they never met, Angel can recall a few times where their paths crossed. \u201cHe was apart of the community and I could feel the dolor<\/em> of the familia just by working on the mural.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, a quick Google map search of South Van Ness Avenue and 24th Street shows a blue wall. The graffiti artwork that was there before, is freshly painted over and from the 360\u00b0 camera, click, circle, view it looks like the mural has yet to happen. Come and step onto calle 24 and the canopy of trees will cover you with shade, as you grab a treat from Jelly Donut, you\u2019ll find a portrait of Sean Monterrosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a wall painted like it\u2019s mirroring the sky, artist Anthony Jimenez paints a portrait of Monterrosa. His smile and fade as clean as it was in person. In the mural, Monterrosa\u2019s portrait is joined by his two sisters holding a picture of their brother. Above them all is George Floyd with tiny figures protesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe mural is every issue \u2026 still ongoing. When we celebrate people who live like Sean, we create more people like Sean. People look at that. And they can say, I want to be involved, or I know someone in that story, or I knew Sean, or I look like him,\u201d said Anthony Jimenez. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While painting, Anthony recalls a resemblance: \u201cThat was something that really broke my heart. During this portrait I was like, \u2018I have a cousin who looks like Sean, but he’s in prison.\u2019 It really hits home. It becomes very emotional. We all cried, at some point during this process. It’s a part of the process and feels necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead artist on the project, Josu\u00e9 places Monterrosa in his Ben Davis red tee, his image accompanied by his last text message, casitas, and the life he leaves behind. To the left is Monterrosa\u2019s dog and to the right, is a bright blue tuc\u00e1n wearing a black cap, a painted yellow halo above the tuc\u00e1n\u2019s head. The bright yellow beak carries truth inside as Monterrosa, also known as Tucan, soars in the sky like an angel delivering gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautiful thing about birds is they return. They fly from heaven and earth, connecting us. Side by side, on a wall in the Mission, is a sky and here are the tuc\u00e1nes painted as a mural, seeking justice for one of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge weight,\u201d said Josu\u00e9 Rojas. \u201cTo answer the question of how do I solve the problem of making this piece of artwork? Is that I don\u2019t do it alone. I call on strength from inside. I call on the Creator to give creativity. I call on the team and I call on these young artists that have been developing. We\u2019ve been working together. They\u2019re committed to this work and so we do it as a community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monterrosa family hopes the mural sparks conversation about police brutality and invites you to visit the mural and learn from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe intergeneration of Josu\u00e9, Angel, Anthony how powerful and beautiful to see that there\u2019s mentorship pouring into the young \u2014 full circle. That\u2019s how Sean would have wanted it to happen. Young people are at the center of everything,\u201d said Michelle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean Monterrosa was an artist, a teacher, a carpenter, a brother, and a person with big dreams \u2014 there is a Sean in every community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe could have been any one of us, you know what I mean? We think about that all the time,\u201d said Anthony Jimenez. \u201cMurals are a vessel to story tell and they\u2019ve always been political. This is the heart of what being a muralist is. That\u2019s what this mural is doing. It’s carrying on that legacy and that message of educating people about Sean Monterrosa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s one of us going to school, trying their best to make a living, seizing any opportunity they have to create something real for themselves. Monterrosa was resourceful and smart, it was young Monterrosa who encouraged his mother to learn about her rights as an immigrant living in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monterrosa is not just a number inside a government database catalog, another young brown man murdered by the police force. No, the story is \u2014 Argentinian-Salvadoran Sean Monterrosa, better known as Tucan, is being mourned. Tucan\u2019s legacy of building with community is celebrated. Monterrosa used his voice to help his family, his art a joyous exploration of flight, and his drive to help young people is still vibrating through the lives he helped change. When Tonn hid behind his police car window, Monterrosa lived in the light, he deserves justice and rest and his family deserves peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sound of the morning birdsong is so strong it wakes us from sleep, calls us back to living, and it reminds us of what is sacred. Together, artists Josu\u00e9 Rojas, Angel Velazquez, and Anthony Jimenez mourn a voice that was one of their own. Danzantes came and gave a blessing and if the Mission\u2019s iconic murals were a forest, on this branch is the life and legacy of Sean Monterrosa. A tucan transcends and with a beak formed from rainbows to deliver messages, Tucan can now fly home, reminding us when we mourn we create. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
