If you like art and walking into stranger’s homes, then this event is for you:
Home is something I carry with me features over forty local artists whose work interrogates the concept of home. For one weekend, two homes in San Francisco’s Mission District will transform into exhibition spaces and the backyard of a third home will be used for an outdoor film screening. By reinventing three homes as art venues and opening them to the public, Home is something I carry with me exercises the rights of renters to use private residences for what we deem public good; an action that can be considered a resistance to the current housing crisis and the lack of economic sustainability for artists. Individual rooms within the homes will act as galleries organizing the work around themes of shelter, migrations, domestic space and memory, mapping, borders and neighborhoods.
Opening: Friday, September 4, 4-8 p.m. @ 3352 24th Street and 951 Shotwell Street
Film screening: Friday, September 4, 9 p.m. @ 348 Shotwell Street
Open Houses: Saturday, September 5, 12-5 p.m. @ 3352 24th Street and 951 Shotwell Street
