Impressions of the Tenderloin
May 14, 2008
collaborative, mixed media on paper, 24" x 30"
with painting by Melody L., Kaiulani W., stencils by Micco F., photography by Ben Chun, and writing and drawings by other students.
This painting is part of a group artistic exploration of San Francisco that I have been working on at Galileo Academy. Students ideas about the Tenderloin Neighborhood and parts of SOMA are collaged together into this cityscape.
One student wrote, as part of an affiliated 'zine project, "i have no problem walking through sixth street. i always walk by and no on gives me trouble. i know a few people from sixth street and its not that bad. and all this stuff about TL being violent is untrue. if you don't mess with people, they don't mess with you. the beefing stuff with TL and sixth street don't even matter cuz its not like they stop you and ask you where your from."
