“Yolanda Lopez, A San Diego Native, Feminist And Pioneer Of The Chicana Movement Is Best Known For

“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. The images are a beautiful representation of life in the Mission District, of mujeres in the Mission, of community building and solidarity. With these images and the rest of her work, Yolanda continues to fight against the erasure of a neighborhood and culture.” - Yolanda Lopez
