Description: "This is one of many panels of a portable mural, each by a different artist. Mural depicting dead low rider in a coffin with political figures, church people, officials, so-called community leaders around, with the capitol dome as a phallic symbol ejaculating into the cosmos. This mural panel depicts the insensitivity of the legislature and politicians in light of barrio violence. The panel was done for a traveling show called "In Progress" curated by René Yáñez, traveling through CA in the early 90's. "In Progress" related to: in each exhibition town local artists added panels to the mural. The panel is now part of José Montoya's personal collection."
