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:Bay Windows: Illuminating Immigrant Women’s Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Logo by Christine Wong Yap. \n\n\n\nGalería de la Raza is proud to partner with artist Christine Wong Yap to present Bay Windows: Illuminating Immigrant Women’s Perspectives from December 11\, 2025 through March 11\, 2025\, a decentralized public art display featuring fifteen sculptural lanterns. The lanterns will be exhibited in the storefronts of five community-facing organizations in Chinatown and the Mission District. Each lantern is based on a papercut by a working-class\, Chinese or Latina immigrant woman with limited English proficiency and limited access to the arts. Their imagery conveys narratives at the intersection of lived experience and social and political issues—including immigrant’s rights\, worker’s rights\, the cost of living\, affordable housing\, public safety\, and mental health—as well as what the women have done or could do to address those issues.  \n\n\n\nThe lanterns are the culmination of Bay Windows / Ventanas en saliente / 窗花\, a trilingual\, cross-cultural social practice project led by Yap\, the daughter of Chinese immigrants. For this project\, Yap received a 2025 Creative Capital Award\, as well as additional support from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and others. This is Yap’s second project engaging this multigenerational cohort of women. Her first\, in 2023\, was the first contemporary art project in the history of the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade\, which dates back to the 1850s.  \n\n\n\nEach lantern will be accompanied by a trilingual statement by its designer\, along with a link to a subtitled video interview\, so that audiences can see and hear the participant speaking in her native language about what her papercut represents and how the process was for her. By creating and displaying lanterns and papercuts\, Yap aims to bridge the two largest immigrant groups in San Francisco\, who together comprise nearly 40% of the City’s population. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the lanterns—which will be visible for free to passersby 24/7 for three months—Galería de la Raza is slated to host a display about the project in its foyer beginning in December 2025\, while the original paper cuts will be shown at the Chinese Culture Center’s Design Store starting in January 2026.  \n\n\n\nYap\, the five partner organizations\, and the 15 collaborating designers will co-host a free scavenger hunt during the day on Saturday\, January 24\, 2026 between 11 am and 2pm. On that day\, the public will be invited to visit the 15 lanterns for the chance to win prizes. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE LEAD ARTISTChristine Wong Yap (she/her) is a visual artist and social practitioner who gathers and amplifies grassroots perspectives on belonging and mental well being. Her project\, “How I Keep Looking Up / Como Sigo Mirando Arriba / 仰望\,” resulted in the first contemporary art project in the history of the 150-year-old San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade.  \n\n\n\nCOLLABORATING DESIGNERSAiLan Xie 謝愛蘭\, Cammi XingYu Huang 黃幸瑜\, ChunMei “Amay” Cao 曹春梅\, DanLi Xu 許丹麗\, Lidia “Lupita” Iraheta\, Marcela Escamilla\, Mayra Alfaro\, MiaoFen Guan 關妙芬\, Nadia Rodriguez\, Selina Luo 羅玉蓮\, Tomasa Ramirez\, YongYu “Ah Yu” Lei 雷泳瑜\, YongYu “Yoyo” Situ 司徒咏瑜\, YuJuan “Ah Juan” Chen 陳玉娟\, Yurisma Gonzalez \n\n\n\nMADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROMCreative CapitalZellerbach Family FoundationNational Endowment for the ArtsA Blade of GrassAsian\, Inc.

SUMMARY:On view: The Living Altars by Ivan Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is proud to present The Living Altars by ReGen Artist Fund grantee\, Ivan Lopez. The Living Altars is a public art project consisting of six outdoor sculptures inviting our Mission community to pause\, reflect\, and contribute by interacting with the sculpture in a public space. Rooted in the belief that words and images have the power to shape our dreams\, our healing\, and the future of our neighborhood\, visitors can engage with the accompanying medicinal plant and can contribute to the shared journals at each sculpture. Over time\, the altar becomes a living archive—a collective vision built from the hopes\, dreams\, and voices of our neighbors. The six sculptures are stewarded by local businesses along Mission Street to encourage the public to reflect on their relationship with the commons\, public space\, and community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit each sculpture on Mission Street and contribute to the shared journals! Follow the map above for a self-guided tour of the project.
