“Yolanda Lopez, a San Diego native, feminist and pioneer of the Chicana movement is best known for her Guadalupe Series. As a long time fixture and jewel of the Mission art scene in San Francisco, she continues to be at the forefront of artists responding to gentrification. This photograph is part of a series titled “Las Santas Locas de San Francisco” taken by Yolanda in 1979.

With these images and the rest of her work, Yolanda continues to fight against the erasure of a neighborhood and culture.” - Yolanda Lopez
