Editor’s note: Sacramento-resident Jose Montoya – poet, painter, community organizer, educator, Chicano-rights advocate and agent provocateur – died Sept. 25 at the age of 81, leaving a formidable legacy of art and activism. The Bee’s obituary called him “one of the most influential and inspirational figures in California Latino history.” Here, his son, noted filmmaker and playwright Richard Montoya, remembers his father’s life, both public and private.

Jose Montoya, one of the original members of the Royal Chicano Air Force, in August 2001 retouches the mural he and several other artists painted in 1977 at Southside Park.

Yulia Pinkusevich excavated a pile of broken wood, discarded windows, squashed toys and other urban flotsam at the public dump one fall afternoon until she uncovered a plastic board dotted with holes.

Surveying a landscape of debris, Yulia Pinkusevich and Stephanie Syjuco seek inspiration. As one artist reflected, “There is no trash. There are just brand-new things and no place for them anymore."

Yulia Pinkusevich carts away material she found at Recology, San Francisco’s recycling dump . She is one of two artists selected to take part in the Artist in Residence program. The program, founded in 1990 to educate people about recycling and conservation, plans 10 to 15 art shows a year.

As an Artist in Residence, Yulia Pinkusevich gets a stipend, dump access and work space, above.
