“Public space is not neutral.” — Afatasi

I’m honored to be featured in The San Francisco Examiner in an article by art critic Max Blue examining the San Francisco Arts Commission’s Shaping Legacy initiative.

The interview discusses my upcoming monument, Memory Portal: 1945, and my lineage-based artistic practice, exploring how public art can create space for communities whose histories have too often been overlooked.

Thank you to Max Blue and The Examiner for the thoughtful conversation.
