SYSTEM FAILURE: displacement

Founded in 1994, apexart is a non-profit arts organization in Lower Manhattan that offers opportunities to independent curators and emerging and established artists, and challenges ideas about art, its practice, and its curation.

7:00pm Presentation by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project
System Failure brings artists together who are examining the tactical and systemic failings of technology, and that conversation would not be complete in San Francisco without looking at the issue of displacement. Join members of the <A HREF="https://www.antievictionmap.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Anti-Eviction Mapping Project</A> as they offer a preview of their new atlas manuscript, Counterpoints: A Bay Area Atlas for Resisting Displacement, which tells a regional story of gentrification, particularly as it is racialized and classed. The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) is a data visualization, digital cartography, and multimedia collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project aims to inform, empower, and activate communities impacted by housing inequity and displacement, supporting the work of collectives fighting for housing justice.
