Developed in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut San Francisco, re:home is a For Freedoms exhibition and community action, that examines how the broad societal crises of sanctuary city, homelessness, and the flight of the creative class intersect in the San Francisco Bay Area. On view at Minnesota Street Project from December 1 - 29, 2018, an opening reception will be held Saturday, December 1 from 5-8pm. A related For Freedoms Town Hall event will take place on Saturday, December 15 from 6-8pm.

 

The exhibition is accompanied by a Community Action Center, for attendees to connect with organizations—such as Kids In Need of Defense (KIND), Oakland International High School, Lava Mae, Homeless Prenatal Program, Creative Capital, and Headlands Center for the Arts, among many others—working on the forefront of the issues reflected in the show. To further democratize access to the artwork and concepts within re:home, a Pop-Up shop of prints, artist editions, and books will be presented in conjunction with the exhibition, as well as a For Freedoms lending library of books focused on the relevant topics. Through the Collect For Change™ platform, portions of proceeds from select works offered in the re:home exhibition and Pop-Up Shop will go to relevant organizations selected by each of the participating artists.

 

re:home pushes forward the conversation sparked by Making Heimat. Germany, Arrival Country, which was developed by Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) and first presented in the German Pavilion at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale. re:home examines how the concepts of “Heimat” (Homeland) and “Arrival City” invoke contemporary regional struggles, exploring what it means to be a political refugee, and the modes of displacement endured by economic refugees. The exhibition reflects upon and critiques the lights and shadows of San Francisco as an “Arrival City,” and more importantly, presents and models the ways in which it can become a more effective one.  

 

Throughout the exhibition, programming, performances, and special events will be held in collaboration with various organizations, institutions, galleries, collectives, corporate entities, individuals, and foundations. On Saturday December 8, from 11am-2pm a re:home Family + Community Day will feature free art-making workshops and interventions by Sanctuary City Project (supported by Facebook Art Department), and Ramekon O'Arwisters' Crochet Jam (with the generous support of Pamela + David Hornik).

 

A For Freedoms Town Hall event will take place in Minnesota Street Project’s Atrium on Saturday, December 15 moderated by Marc Bamuthi Joseph, current Chief of Program and Pedagogy at YBCA—and newly-appointed Vice President and Artistic Director of Social Impact at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.. The Town Hall will begin with a reading by students from Oakland International High School (OIHS) featured in the book I AM HOME: Portraits of Immigrant Teenagers (edited by Rachel Neumann, foreword by author + artist Thi Bui, photography by Ericka McConnell, published by Parallax Press). Joseph will then perform a poetic response to Douglas Saunders’ ‘eight theses’ on what constitutes an ‘arrival city,’ posed in his book Arrival City: How the Largest Migration in History Is Reshaping Our World, which became the basis for the original Making Heimat exhibition. Other key participants include Kids in Need of Defense (KIND)'s Katie Annand; Founder and CEO of Lava Mae Doniece Sandoval; Taylor D. Duckett, author, songwriter, educator, spoken word artist, and Founder and Creative Director of Conviction 2 Change publishing company; Founder of Love Beyond Walls + The Dignity Museum Terence Lester; artists and activists Rodney Ewing, Ana Teresa Fernandez, Alison O. K. Frost, Thi Bui, and Jasko Begović; Co-Founder of Minnesota Street Project, Deborah Rappaport; Executive Director of Headlands Center for the Arts, Sharon Maidenberg; and Owen Levin from Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST).

 

Celebrating the universal truth that food is a bridge, and with the goal of nourishing a deeper sense of community and authentic dialogue surrounding re:home, various food interventions will take place in conjunction with the exhibition, including a food drive benefiting San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Drives also will be held to support Homeless Prenatal Program and California Community Foundation's Wildfire Relief Fund—to respond to ongoing and real-time displacement crises.
