Bobbylicious brunch by Chef Sunny Soto create your own booby pancakes! Errverybodi line dancers led by Patricia Murray, a breast cancer survivor. Poetry reading from Berenice Badillo’s poetry book Treacherous Titties. Berenice Badillo was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2023, right in the middle of the restoration of a 1997 historic mural in Chicano Park that she painted when she was a twenty-three-year-old. Chicano Park houses the largest collection of Chicano murals in the world. She was also a recipient of The Far South Border North grant and the Living cultures grant. In the effort to not “waste her pain” as suggested by Audre Lorde in The Cancer Journals (1980), Badillo created content that explored taboo subjects on her journey through Cancer. This included educational videos, a resource website, a poetry book that will be given to newly diagnosed patients, and artwork that will be showcased in her solo show “Treacherous Titties.” Badillo and her girl gang XoQue art in motion completed the sixty-five-foot mural, the largest mural in Chicano Park done by women, for women, about women. The Coronado bridge needed to be shut down for its completion and Badillo along with playwright Mabelle Reynoso created a short documentary of the process.
