Description
What: The University of San Francisco’s (USF) Thacher Gallery and the 3.9 Art Collective collaborate for the upcoming exhibit “Hiraeth: the 3.9 collective searches for home,” which explores the exodus of African Americans from San Francisco and its lasting effects on art, community, and perceptions of home.When: March 9 – April 21, 2015
Where: Thacher Gallery located in Gleeson Library – Geschke Center (Golden Gate Ave. and Parker Ave.) on the USF campus.
Why: “Hiraeth” features work by ten artists from the 3.9 Art Collective. Named for the potential percentage of African Americans residing in San Francisco if trends continue, the 3.9 Art Collective is made up of artists exploring diaspora community and working to support and maintain a community of African American artists in the city.
“Hiraeth” is a Welsh word meaning homesick or a longing for a place that does not exists. Artists in this exhibit explore hiraeth in diverse, personal ways using an array of mediums.
