Eth6 Magazine Issue Three: Contributing Artist Exhibition
First Friday reception: Sept. 5, 7-10pm Eth6 Issue Three Eth6 is an annual collaborative publication between Artists, Social Workers and Journalists to cover stories that otherwise remain invisible in mainstream media. Eth6 couples the insight of those working in the front lines of social service with the narrative skills of journalists to create "unbroken" news. The artwork plays an integral role in balancing the heavy editorial content and providing another entry point of resonance with a general audience. Eth6 operates upon the principle that social justice cannot be realized if there is no public awareness. For this issue we have produced fifteen phenomenal stories that include researching alternatives to the criminal justice system, the community response to gang violence in San Francisco's churches, the ethical choices of caring for those who do not care for themselves on the street and many more. With over a dozen artists and photographers the issue presents thoughtful responses to these complex topics. The Eth6 exhibition will show case the new issue and provide a space to step inside the narratives through images.
