Submitted by the Event Organizer
SOMArts Cultural Center and SF Camerawork present a unique opportunity to get to know the hidden history of South of Market.
In conjunction with local muralist Susan Greene’s “Bending over Backward” installation (appearing in the exhibition Performing Community, July 6–28 at SOMArts Cultural Center), Chris Carlsson of Shaping San Francisco will lead a free walking tour to help you discover lost layers of history.
From flattened sand dunes, buried wetlands, and a navigable river, to the many uses of SOMA, including slaughterhouses, steel mills, and breweries, Chris will regale participants with stories hidden in today’s landscape. He will reveal what was present in times past and how the physical city came to look the way it does now by way of industrial and neighborhood successions.
