Thanks to everyone who participated in our latest project, Home Without Borders in partnership with @grayareaorg . A special gratitude to those that helped make this project happen @nomorewhitewomen2 , @turner__w , @radiotruc . Community contributions from: Soph Diaz-Muca (substack: san freecisck), Wolf Boxuan Chen @wolfboxuanchen , Angelica Macalisang @angelica__lyka , Irish Tee-Sy @_t__sy sy, Michaela Vachuska @micha.online69 , Skywaterr @skywaterr , Liz Purple daijobu.liz, debbie ly @debbly , J. Yuru Zhou @fieldednotes . Commissioned by @sf_arts_commission as part of the city-wide Shaping Legacy initiative, this unique exhibit will bring a new hybrid physical/digital monument to life through the direct creative contributions of community members. Due to billions of dollars being spent on surveillance technology for ICE under the Trump administration, there has been an alarming increase in mass deportations as the raids continue to escalate. As we focus our attention on the violent ways in which ICE uses technology to surveil, detain, and deport, we must continue to protect and uplift each other as a form of resistance. Home Without Borders is a collaborative community art project that encourages intersectional resistance through celebrating immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Through shared stories, performance, and workshops, this project acts as a tribute to immigrant resilience and their contributions to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bay Area Solidarity Strike (B.A.S.S.) is an event organized by local Bay Area DJs, promoters, and collectives to raise a strike fund for artists who have withdrawn from a planned upcoming Boiler Room event in San Francisco. The BASS Strike Fund is a financial resource that will ensure that artists boycotting Boiler Room (in response to its recent acquisition by KKR, a private equity and investment firm with continued investment in Israeli tech and data firms as well as connections to weapons manufacturers and defense contractors) is a viable option regardless of financial need. Through mutual aid, our community can make a material impact and ensure that withdrawal of labor is sustainable for Bay Area arts workers. ACCESSIBILITY INFO Event will have an outdoor area with food, tabling, and music and a larger indoor area with music, art installations, and vending. The indoor area is only accessible by stairs, the outdoor area is wheelchair accessible but will become quite crowded as the event progresses Seating will be available in the indoor space One non ADA bathroom will be available upstairs Narcan, ear plugs, and free water will be available This is a mask optional event Design by @sfcowboy_

Dig deeper 🌿 into the elements of Chinatown with Jeffrey Yip @bitblab at Edge’s upcoming contemporary art festival! About the Artist: Jeffrey Yip is an interdisciplinary artist of color based out of Oakland, producing multi-sensory installations with an emphasis on social change. Interested in uniting the senses as an approach to building experiences, he often combines light and sound in physical as well as virtual spaces. Thematically his work revolves around exploring technology to facilitate healing as a form of radical justice and often works collaboratively to create sustainable communities. Jeffrey is a core member of AGASAN, a multi-phase collaborative project that includes workshops and an interactive offering to address mental wellness. In 2015, Jeffrey co-founded Macro Waves, a Bay Area based art collective specializing in producing experiences that center social equity through conceptual art, new media, and design. Jeffrey was recently recognized during his participation in the Recology Artist Residency Program in 2023. He has also been honored with several grants, most recently the Ruth Foundation Artist Choice Grant. See full program, artists, and curators on our website: Edgeonthesquare.org/high-five About the festival: This year’s theme centers on the five elements: Earth 土, Fire 火, Metal 金, Water 水, and Air 气. The one-day event will spotlight API artists and their multimedia artworks, installations, activations and performances throughout the neighborhood. A collective voice will amplify unity and sing solidarity all over the streets of our beloved Chinatown with art, music, food, performances and much more! High Five Festival Saturday, September 7, 2024 | 3:00-10:00 PM 800 Grant Avenue and throughout Chinatown Always free and open to the public #getintoyourelement #highfivefestival #highfive #edgeonthesquare #contemporaryartfestival #fiveelements #chinatown #sfchinatown #chinatownsanfrancisco

Art meets meditation at our upcoming experimental live sound bath at Edge! ✨ This live sound bath by Jeffrey Yip @bitblab x Macro Waves @macro.waves and a Tai Chi workshop by Melissa “Alex” Medel @64movements combine in an act of re-gathering. In this sound bath we reimagine and remember the transformative power that lies within ourselves and within others, letting the forces of collective care draw us towards each other and towards Collective Futures. Melissa “Alex” Medel debuted her official teaching career for San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department in 2016. After being granted an official authorization to teach from Simmone Kuo, headmaster of Lien Ying Tai Chi Chuan Academy, one of the oldest Tai Chi studios in Chinatown, San Francisco, Alex began teaching in recreation centers all across SF. Within the next few years, she would dedicate thousands of hours teaching Tai Chi, teaching within city departments as well, such as libraries, the police department and City Hall. Now she dedicates time growing her programs in the Bay Area and helping her clients achieve better health through movement. Come experience the sound bath and transformative Tai Chi workshop on Friday, May 31, 6:00 - 7:00 PM 800 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94108 #chinatown #chinatownsf #sanfrancisco #taichi #livesoundbath #sfchinatown #workshop

re:seed airing on Thursday Dec 10 8:00PM @grayareaorg for @soundwavesf Artists: @selimx1 @y047h Pieces aka @rose_cherami + @_idhaz Curated by: @obstacks + @blabberbytes a sonic ritual dedicated to planting of new futures Seeds bear new life and new possibilities for life on our planet. Throughout the cyclical nature of existence, one of the most important components is the planting of seed, something our ancestors have done, and our descendants will continue if we are to survive. In the face of the breaking down of our world structures, reseeding and nurturing the life it brings forth is also what will allow us to to continue to explore new ways of existing. Re: Seed is an audio/visual piece created as a space for us to call in and retrace this simple act and to realize its vast interconnectedness through our past and our future trajectory as beings that only exist because of our interdependance with all other life on this spaceship, to realign us with renewed life affirmation and a space for visioning what we can build if we are also watered and cared for.
