Communion and Wellbeing: Arts and Outreach

Rituals of communion, mourning, and celebration express the beating hearts of our communities. Often, community artists assume the role of catalysts, organizers, and ministers – involving neighbors and residents in transformational acts of creation. The program includes a digital photo exhibition of two important annual rituals:  the San Francisco Drag Eucharist and the Marcha de las Putxs; as well as images of Skywatcher’s performances in the streets.  The program will initiate with three live performances from the Skywatchers collective. The films feature Mission and Tenderloin artists whose work with locals has adorned those neighborhoods with murals and performances, inspiring collective action while ritualizing belonging and identity. After the screening, join us for a discussion with panelists responsible for impactful social ministry, health, and artistic creation in the Tenderloin and Mission neighborhoods.

Masks are not required at the Tenderloin Museum, but are recommended and appreciated.
