NON-PROFIT

BLACK PLAYERS FOR CHANGE

The Seven Sisters (Celestial Subduction) is a mural project inspired by the Central Coast peaks and the Pleiades star cluster. The mural depicts the origin of the peaks through sub-aquatic geologic events and incorporates mythology from various cultures.

The artist, Maria Molteni, used a systematic and site-specific approach, drawing inspiration from cosmic quilting motifs. The mural can be found on the back of the Fremont Theater and the accompanying Laird Building wall on Higuera Street between Santa Rosa and Osos. Maria Molteni is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, organizer, and mystic, known for her laborious process of paint mixing and complex design systems rooted in cosmic quilting motifs. She gathers imagery from academic, folkloric, and mystical/spiritual sources for her work.
