The inclusion of <br /> Rosemary Vasquez—artist, educator, and daughter of Emigdio Vasquez—ensures that this <br /> restoration honors the mural's legacy through a direct familial and cultural connection. <br /> Rosemary will serve as a community liaison and historical guide throughout the project. <br /> Line Items and Budget <br /> 1. Live Documentation — $10,000 <br /> SACAC will lead and produce high-quality photographic and video documentation: <br /> o Pre-restoration condition capture of the mural and surrounding site <br /> Q Ongoing video documentation of the conservation process <br /> o A mini documentary capturing the restoration and community stories <br /> o Final photography and video assets for archival, educational, and historical <br /> purposes <br />
