Artists in this exhibition responded to challenges of, and consolations of, sanctuary. Sanctuary, we learned, is not an abstraction; it is a relative term that we negotiate.

The first place you'll catch me when visiting a new town or city is usually a local coffeehouse, kind of absorbing the city through sitting at that cafe.

When the "Early Days" statue was removed in San Francisco's Civic Center, community members mounted the empty plinth. We reclaimed it for the beauty and power of Native people.

In fall 2020, I set out to document San Francisco’s Mission Street. I saw storefronts doubling as murals, old and new catastrophes, enduring injustices.
