The Road to Remembrance (No.2) (2023)
This piece uses materiality as a lens to research and explore space, focusing on The Mission District of San Francisco, a historically Latinx immigrant neighborhood that has undergone multiple decades of gentrification. Through archival maps, community newspapers, personal photos and receipts, and flora, the Mission’s past and contemporary landscapes come into dialogue. Drawing on Roberto Lovato’s conception of gentrification as a mass forgetting, I seek to render a story of place and contestation that “unforgets”.
