Cries of San Francisco: Information Session and Call for Participants
Hawk your wares. Peddle your services and skills. Carry your self-made business on your back. Sing us your songs and street calls. Artist Allison Smith is seeking up to 50 people to collaborate with her and Southern Exposure for her project, The Cries of San Francisco. The temporary public art project that takes as its inspiration the historic tradition of street peddling as an alternative or underground economy and a form of sculptural drag. Selected participants are invited to take on peddler personae for a public performance over the course of one day in early June 2011 along Market Street between the Embarcadero and Mint Plaza. Southern Exposure will also host a series of events and serve as a public house and market hall where participants will gather to perform and record their cries and to trade and peddle their wares to the public from May 20 through July 2, 2011. Southern Exposure and Allison Smith will host an information session about the project on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, where interested participants can see the images and hear the cries that inspired this project and find out more about participating in the large-scale public performance on Market Street.
