Harvey Milk Terminal 1A
October 2023- April 2024

Bay Area artist and educator invited a group of undergraduate and graduate students from School of Art to articulate their unique perspectives on “home”.  This accomplished group of artists from a wide range of cultures and gender identities used a variety of mediums and techniques to examine their search to find a sense of belonging and safety. Watercolor, ink, acrylic paint, colored pencil, gouache, cannabis ink and gold leaf were among the materials chosen by the artists to address this theme.
Living and working in the Bay Area, these students confront the challenges of pursuing their art in a region where the scarcity of affordable living and work spaces are scarce. As exhibition artist Ella Rose Avery writes “We have all struggled to stay in the place we are from and love”. In the increasingly intolerant atmosphere of contemporary society, art making provides artists of diverse backgrounds with tools for expressing their struggles to find places of  acceptance. “I found comfort in the gray area” exhibition artist Mud explains.
One of Libby Black’s goals for this exhibition was to create unity between the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs at SF State. Together these amazing student artists create poignant and though-provoking representations of the power of art as a language through which diverse voices convey their journeys to find their place in the world.
SF State is a major public urban university in San Francisco. It is part of the California State University system and offers 118 bachelor’s degree programs, 94 master’s degree programs, and 5 doctoral degree programs along with 26 teaching credentials among six academic colleges. SF State prepares its students to become productive, ethical, active citizens with a global perspective. Cont in comments

There is an amazing review for the current show up in the , See You Space Cowboy on squarecylinder.com.

“Space Cowboy corrals strands of fashion, advertising, TV, movies, manga and anime, Asian folk mythology, Afro-Futurism, hip hop dance and music, graffiti, skateboarding, martial arts and even some drag. It’s as unruly and energetic as its youthful intended audience. It illustrates how Asian and Black youth speak to each other without asking permission from mainstream (i.e., white) authority.”
