SUMMARY:The Window Project: a public art installation
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza presents The Window Project in collaboration with Professor Sergio de la Torre’s Spring 2025 class “Artist as Citizens”  at the University of San Francisco (USF). \n\n\n\nThe Window Project is designed to foster a sense of inclusion and representation by incorporating topics of conversation that shape the Mission District and its residents. In their design\, the students of “Artist as Citizens” examine topics such as immigration\, remittances\, street vendors\, and cultural pride while including localized elements unique to the neighborhood such as maps\, photography\, quotes\, and information on individual rights. This design incorporated additional collaborations with students from Leonard R. Flynn Elementary School and the “Performing Arts and Social Justice” class at USF taught by Professor Roberto Gutièrrez Varea to include the perspectives of those living in the neighborhood.  \n\n\n\nWelcome. Bienvenidos. This is your window into the Mission. \n\n\n\nUtilizing the large fourteen foot windows\, The Window Project is on public view at Galería’s Studio 16. For a brief time\, you can take a closer look at the details that make up this design at Galería’s Studio 24 that include the following elements: \n\n\n\n\nStudent Street Photography: Featuring real-life images that capture the energy and diversity of the Mission District through the eyes of students.\n\n\n\nKnow Your Rights Information: Highlighting resources and knowledge crucial to immigrant communities.\n\n\n\nQuotes from Residents: Compiled by Professor Varea’s “Performing Arts and Social Justice” class\, these quotes provide authentic voices from within the district.\n\n\n\nMaps and Artistic Elements: These visually narrate the district’s cultural and physical landscape.\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project reminds us what makes this neighborhood special\, and what it takes to care for the diverse voices and experiences that create the Mission District.  \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Window Project at Galería’s Studio 16 (2840 16th St. San Francisco\, CA 94103)

SUMMARY:On view: Our Language\, Our Story
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza presents Our Language\, Our Story\, a powerful photographic exhibition by artist Joyce Xi in collaboration with the Asian Law Caucus. Through striking portraits and deeply personal narratives gathered from immigrants across the Bay Area\, the exhibit asks: What does it mean to be seen\, heard\, and understood in the language of your heart? \n\n\n\nConceptualized in 2023\, this project was initially created to document immigrant experiences and highlight the need for language access in everyday life. Expanding from the first six stories exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in 2024\, the project now encompasses more than 20 cultures throughout the Bay Area that are reflected through their language and stories. In today’s political and social climate\, this body of work celebrates and centers the fullness of these community members and leaders; friends\, family\, elders\, neighbors\, co–workers\, teachers\, entrepreneurs\, artists\, students\, vendors\, and people of faith. Together\, they represent the backbone of our communities and an essential part of our social fabric. These images highlight the deep relationships we foster\, and the joys and hardships immigrant communities face living in an English-dominant society.  \n\n\n\nOver several months of interviews and visits to community centers\, family celebrations\, neighborhood hangouts\, and organizing meetings\, Xi built relationships with these individuals and listened to their aspirations\, struggles\, dreams\, love\, and resistance. Visitors are encouraged to consider the experiences of immigrants and refugees by reading their stories\, listening to their language\, and witnessing their day to day lives. Our Language\, Our Story affirms that language is far more than a means of communication. It is a vessel of memory\, a source of cultural continuity\, and a powerful assertion of self. To speak in your native language is to resist erasure\, to demand dignity\, and to claim space.  \n\n\n\n“Language helps you identify your people in a new place\, it fills your ears with familiar warmth.” \n\n\n\n– Alejandra Oliva\, Rivermouth  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead the individual stories featured in the exhibition below.  \n\n\n\nBooklet_FINALDownload

Speaking in tongues/ Hablando en lenguas is now presented as a collection of four books that integrate duos of Mexican and Chicanx poets\, who all move between Spanish\, English and Spanglish.

These eight poetics coincide in themes of migration\, land\, border\, language\, politics\, love\, and more. \n\n\n\nFeaturing Aideed Medina\, hector son of hector\, Josiah Luis Alderete\, and Lourdes Figueroa\, these poets will bring their contributions to this literary project to share with Lunada audience.  \n\n\n\nOpen Mic is available on a first come first serve basis\, sign ups will be at the door.
