Departures' coverage on murals and street art in Los Angeles began during a critical moment of the city's public art legacy; in its own way it's part of KCET's tradition of documenting the indigenous art movement since its beginnings. In this column Ed Fuentes surveys murals and street art as public art and policy, and on occasion, provide a platform for guest commentators.
