Homenaje a las Mujeres de Aztlán is a mural painted by Chicana artist Judithe Hernández. It was painted in 1976 and is located in the Ramona Gardens housing project in Los Angeles.
The mural depicts various generation of Mexican and Chicana women engaged in daily life and activist work like participating in the UFW alongside depictions of the Virgen de Guadalupe and the stone head of Coyolxauhqui. All of these different women are cradled by a towering central female figure.
On either side of the central figure, the text reads in both Spanish and English:
Spanish:
DESE LOS DÍAS DE LA ANTIGUA HISTORIA DE MEXICO NUESTRAS MUJERES SIEMPRE HAN LUCHADO PARA EL BIEN DE SU FAMILIA, SU PAÍS, Y SU RAZA. ESTA MURAL ESTE DEDICADO A TODAS ELLAS… LAS HIJAS, LAS MADRES, Y LAS ABUELITAS DE AZTLÁN.
English:
SINCE THE DAYS OF ANCIENT HISTORY OF MEXICO OUR WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS FOUGHT FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR FAMILY, THEIR COUNTRY, AND THEIR PEOPLE — THIS MURAL IS DEDICATED TO THEM… THE DAUGHTERS, THE MOTHERS, AND THE GRANDMOTHERS OF AZTLÁN
The mural was restored in 2016.
