This epic mural on the side of a store deep in San Francisco’s Mission District depicts the iconic and influential Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The Mission District (or simply, “the Mission”) is a fitting home to this artwork, given the area’s history as a hub for generations of Mexican and — more broadly — Central American immigrant communities in San Francisco. It has also been a home to many Latino artists and cultural institutions, though gentrification is gradually eroding some of the district’s Latino character.
