Opening Reception: February 12th, 6-9pm.
The opening event for a new exhibition Refuge in Refuse: Homesteading Art & Culture Project features three film screenings, informal chats with former Albany Bulb residents, participating artists, and other experts about the Bulb, and curbside tours of the LavaMae bus, a project of the Tides Center that provides mobile showers for the homeless in re-purposed San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) buses.
Osha Neumann, artist and civil rights lawyer, will speak to his dual role as unsanctioned landfill artist and lawyer for the homeless living at the Bulb.
