Join us for a tour of Fort Point led by artist Anna Lisa Escobedo where, draped in vivid red fabric, the statues of Peter Burnett, William Gwin, and Francis Scott Key are transformed into ghostly silhouettes, haunting the underbelly of the Golden Gate Bridge. A free charter bus will leave from 500 Capp Street at 10:30 am and return at the end of the tour, limited seating available.
Draped in vivid red fabric, the statues of Peter Burnett, William Gwin, and Francis Scott Key are transformed into ghostly silhouettes, haunting the underbelly of the Golden Gate Bridge. The striking red shrouds symbolize alarm, violence, and the systemic White supremacy that underpins their legacies.
Howard’s work challenges us to consider: Whose stories have been elevated—and whose have been erased? These figures, once celebrated, are revealed to have played pivotal roles in upholding exclusionary laws and systems of oppression, truths rarely acknowledged in public monuments or mainstream historical narratives. Presented as part of Black Gold: Stories Untold, Hidden Truths urges us to confront the buried histories embedded in our public spaces. Through this powerful visual language, Howard affirms that art can be a vehicle for truth-telling, collective healing, and a more inclusive reimagining of legacy.
