Mission Afterviews takes as a departure point the abandoned movie theaters on Mission Street. It will look at their histories, revisit their architectural transformations and reflect upon their current conditions. A selection of artists –interested in topics such as moving image and memory, modern urban planning and transformation, labor and leisure or who explore the tensions between community identity and public space- will be commissioned to develop new work. This multi-part project will assume the form of an art exhibition, a movie screening and a publication to be distributed at newspaper stands along Mission Street.
