Join Shahid for Change for a launch party and community gathering to celebrate the print and online publication of (Dis)Location: Black Exodus, the culmination of several years’ work in the community, hosted by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project.
(Dis)location is a multi-platform publication and public workshop series centered around the issue of local housing justice. The first chapter, Black Exodus, builds upon the Anti-Eviction Mapping project's commitment to centering communities as producers of social and historical knowledge. Activated by the unprecedented out-migration of Black San Franciscans from their historic neighborhoods, our aim with this project has been to foreground Black storytelling and art-making.
From 4-5pm there will also be a one-hour Tenants' Rights Workshop in partnership with the San Francisco Tenants Union. The purpose of the workshop is to build awareness around basic tenant protections and to provide an opportunity for residents to ask questions about particular housing issues they may be facing.
Music and light refreshments will be provided, as well as a story booth and Community Power Map to continue collecting these important stories and build the interactive website.
