72 mins | Documentary | April 27, 2022

Alexandra Henry’s documentary juxtaposes the personal experiences of three emerging Latina street artists as they navigate a male-dominated subculture to establish artistic identities within chaotic urban landscapes: Toofly, born in Ecuador and raised in Queens, NY; Fusca, a talented painter who moved to Mexico City inspired by its embrace of all things artistic; and Magrela who expresses her feelings on the complexities of being a woman through vibrant colors and radical imagery painted across São Paulo’s walls. Punctuated by historical anecdotes from such pioneering artists as Lady Pink, Nina Pandolfo and Lady Aiko, Street Heroines captures the collective outcry of female street artists from around the world.
