Note from the muralists:
"We aimed to create a mural that celebrates pride, liberation, diversity, joy, and local history, featuring key moments of San Diego's LGBTQIA+ history. With the support of Lambda Archives, we sourced images from past Pride events to showcase the beauty of our diverse community.
By highlighting moments of joyful celebration and self-expression in the same space as resilience through pain, oppression, and discrimination, this mural symbolizes what our community has endured and reminds us that we still have more work to do for our future. With the support of loved ones and the unified strength in our community, we are stronger than ever to oppose bigotry, ignorance, and injustices."
NOTE ON THE COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUE: All donors' names will be included on the commemorative plaque to be displayed on the San Diego Pride building at 3620 30th Street, San Diego CA alongside "The Liberation Ball" mural, unless you marked on the donation form to hide your name. Special thanks to North Park Trophy for contributing the plaque in-kind!

"Nuestro objetivo era crear un mural que celebrara el orgullo, la liberaci贸n, la diversidad, la alegr铆a y la historia local, presentando momentos clave de la historia LGBTQIA+ de San Diego. Con la ayuda de Lambda Archives, obtuvimos im谩genes de eventos anteriores del Orgullo para mostrar la belleza de nuestra diversa comunidad.
Al resaltar momentos de celebraci贸n alegre y autoexpresi贸n en el mismo espacio que la resiliencia a trav茅s del dolor, la opresi贸n y la discriminaci贸n, este mural simboliza no solo lo que nuestra comunidad ha soportado sino que tambi茅n nos recuerda que todav铆a tenemos m谩s trabajo por hacer para nuestra existencia futura. Con el apoyo de nuestros seres queridos y la fuerza unificada de nuestra comunidad, somos m谩s fuertes que nunca para oponernos a la intolerancia, la ignorancia y las injusticias."
