Bay Area Walls is a series of commissions at SFMOMA by local artists that actively engage with pressing issues of our time. Oakland-based artist Liz Hernández (@spellofmyself) works with topics related to her upbringing in Mexico City, creating imagery from memories of buildings covered in handmade signs, chaotic trips to markets, her grandmother’s house, and syncretic healing rituals. For "Conjuro para la sanación de nuestro futuro (A spell for the healing of our future)" (2020), she brings forth symbols and icons from milagros, or miracle charms, to summon a higher power for our community’s health and future.
