Abstract: This is the second story in a series of success stories focused on restorative justice work. The work featured in these stories seeks to acknowledge the impact of harmful practices and creates opportunities to heal that harm between those who enacted it and those impacted by it to transform the community. This report discusses Restorative Justice for the Arts (RJFTA) which was created as a response to an alarming amount of mural erasures in Highland Park and greater Los Angeles. Longtime residents of Highland Park (L.A. Council District 1) were particularly outraged when beloved and iconic grandfathered murals were illegally whitewashed by developers. One particular peace mural by prolific L.A. muralist John "Zender" Estrada titled "Resist Violence With Peace" depicted a sacred Aztec warrior. The mural was created in 1993 following the 1992 civil unrest and was later whitewashed despite local, state and federal protections. Restorative Justice for the Arts has helped to resist the vandalism and whitewashing of L.A.'s murals, starting with Highland Park, by creating unique frameworks utilizing Indigenous and arts-based methodologies to address accountability for erasing cultural community art monuments.
