A Chair is Not a Bed!
The people speak out against the City’s New Shelter Redesign Program- and in the process create art, performance and poetry on a beautiful day in April.
A Chair is Not a Bed!
Alison VanDeursen
Tuesday, April 3, 2001;
It was a rare day in San Francisco- blue skies, balmy air, and the circus appeared to be in town! In the plaza across from City Hall, colorfully dressed stilt walkers danced and unicyclists juggled fire, tossing spiraling pins back and forth. I saw a man in a sleek suit posing in front of the performers. His associate, laughing, snapped a photo before they scuttled back to the office, lunch break over.
But this carnival was no tourist attraction. It was, in fact, a symbolic representation of the kind of clownish (but hardly amusing) politics that threaten the welfare and lives of the city
