“Sanctuary” Unique Rug Art Exhibit | Fort Mason

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The notion of sanctuary—both physical and psychological—has been fundamental in shaping a sense of selfhood and social identity throughout human history. But in an era of increasing global migration and rising nationalism, the right to safe haven is under threat, and the necessity for compassion is greater than ever.
