THE WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMUNITY ARTS PROJECT: Literacy for Environmental Justice (LEJ) youth in residency with artists over the past year create an interactive installation in the Sargent Johnson Gallery exploring environmental and social justice issues facing the community of Bayview Hunters Point in San Francisco.
21 OCT 2025 - 10 JAN 2025
gallery hours: Mon - Sat -> 12-5 PM
African American Arts and Culture Center
Sargent Johnson Gallery
762 Fulton Street @ Webster
(free parking in lot)
415.922.2049
Walking environmental ‘Tours’ of the neighborhood informed the project participants along with in-depth discussions, and journal writings which led them to create work about their personal experiences, gentrification and displacement, the opposing forces of man vs. nature, art as activism, and the positive people and influences in their community. The project will be installed over a period of two weeks in the Gallery. Visitors are encouraged to participate in this installation process with the youth. Several of the actual art pieces will become parts of an interactive Fort structure, creating shelters inside the gallery for visitors to spend time in contributing to the work and to encourage discussions about community, family, environment and social justice. A documentary film and book will also be part of the exhibition.
