Exhibition Opening: side by side/in the world
The concept of "sanctuary city" has figured significantly in recent discussions about immigration, whereby sanctuary cities are framed as “pro-migrant,” particularly in opposition to federal policies that seek to limit asylum seeking. San Francisco became a Sanctuary City in 1989, joining a growing movement. The San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) Galleries’ new exhibition, side by side/in the world, curated by Jacqueline Francis and Kathy Zarur, takes inspiration from this history, and considers sanctuary relationally, both in the places we find it and the ways we make it.
