DESCRIPTION:Making a Scene: 50 Years of Alternative Bay Area Spaces spotlights a rich 
 history of Bay Area artist-run, independent and alternative spaces, as well 
 as the pioneers and contemporary trailblazers of social justice who 
 utilized these spaces as a catalyst and megaphone. \n\nArchival material 
 from more than 20 individuals and spaces, and art and installations by more 
 than 30 current and historic Bay Area artists, unite the featured spaces’ 
 disparate, yet overlapping and contingent histories of cultural engagement, 
 community development and social justice. Featured artists and activists 
 created and activated alternative spaces during a time when the United 
 States was alive with radical movements that uprooted and exposed various 
 levels of police brutality, discrimination, and lack of representation for 
 their communities and continue to do so today. \n\nMaking a Scene includes 
 a direct call-to-action that invites the Bay Area to contribute to the 
 collective memory of the region’s spaces in two ways, transforming the 
 exhibition into an incubator for exploration, discovery and contribution. 
 In partnership with Bay Area Society for Art & Activism, exhibition 
 visitors can contribute audio, scan newspaper articles, and catalog lost 
 stories and histories to a Wiki Site, “Collective Memory.” And building 
 on its current partnership with SOMArts, Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) 
 will install a temporary broadcast studio within the exhibition in which 
 visitors can record their impressions of the exhibition, share memories of 
 the community arts spaces on view or just “make a scene.”\n\nMaking a 
 Scene exhibition July 9–August 20, 2015. Gallery hours: Tues–Fri, 
 12–7pm and Sat, 12–5pm. Free opening reception with performances and 
 artist talks Thursday, July 9, 2015, 6–9pm.\n
