The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project

The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project

Using data visualization, data analysis, and storytelling, the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project documents the dispossession of San Francisco Bay Area residents in the wake of the Tech Boom 2.0. Their work takes the form of digital maps, oral history work, film, murals, and community events. Maintaining antiracist and feminist analyses as well as decolonial methodology, the project creates tools and disseminates data that contributes to collective resistance and movement building. The Alternative Exposure grant supports the inaugural chapter of (Dis)location, a zine publication and public workshop series that will utilize an interdisciplinary arts approach to showcase the ways in which individual Bay Area communities face and resist dispossession and cultural erasure. This first installment of (Dis)location will focus on the struggles of Black San Franciscans to live, thrive, and remain in San Francisco.
