’60s Counterculture Talk on “San Francisco Diggers” w/ Peter Coyote (Fort Mason)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In tandem with its current exhibition, Our commons are free, a project by Ben Kinmont, Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture (FMCAC) presents a dynamic conversation with actor Peter Coyote and artist Ben Kinmont, commemorating the San Francisco Diggers, a leading force in the 1960s San Francisco counterculture. Coyote, an original member of the Diggers, lends his rich first-hand memories of the group’s activities in the Haight-Ashbury and beyond, while Kinmont discusses his own personal connections to the group and the history he captures in the exhibition. The conversation is moderated by Frank Smigiel, FMCAC’s Chief Curator & Director of Arts Programming and is accompanied by striking visuals from the exhibition.
