Our community neighbors and friends Root Division are currently presenting a beautiful exhibition "We Are Home: Visions & Voices of the Tenderloin Community Quilt". The exhibition is facilitated and co-curated by Mattie Loyce of Delivering Innovation in Supportive Housing (DISH) and Mary Hogue of Mission Praxis, featuring art by over 70 artists and participants across the Tenderloin neighborhood.This exhibition presents the work of the Tenderloin Community Quilt project. Beginning in the Fall of 2022, the project engaged the extended Tenderloin through collective quilt-making workshops to express the significance and meaning of ‘home’. The exhibition is the culmination of one year of work, featuring a film of interviews with resident artists, archival print content from the SFPL Tenderloin Archive, and the large-scale collaborative quilts created through its workshops.Check out this show now through November 29, 2023. ...
