back to Home Land Security

back to Díaz Lewis

34,000 Pillows Workshop Open House 
Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11, 2016

Commemorate international Human Rights Day (Dec. 10) by taking part in artist duo Díaz Lewis’s 34,000 Pillows Workshop, a interactive artwork included in FOR-SITE Foundation’s Home Land Security exhibition. Participants in these free, hands-on art-making sessions can join the Los Angeles-based artists in person as they take on the US Congress’s mandate that government immigration agencies maintain a “bed quota” of 34,000 detained immigrants per day. The project aims to create a pillow representative of each individual held. 

Location: Fort Winfield Scott at Langdon Court (visit here for parking and public transportation information)

Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission: free; drop-ins encouraged

  • Have you seen the #BigBlueWhale yet? If not, now’s the time — the installation closes January 13! __ The Big Blue Whale is presented by @montereybayaquarium and our friends @parks4all, and is located on Crissy Field. As most of you probably know, Crissy Field is part of @goldengatenps. Although Crissy Field and some other GGNRA sites remain open during the government shutdown, it’s important to remember that not all the usual services are available. Please do your part and pack out your trash, and take public transportation if you can to avoid motor congestion due to closed parking lots. Linked in our bio is a helpful site put together by the GGNPC to help you plan your visit to any GGNRA sites during this time. #ArtAboutPlace
  • Wishing you very happy holidays and a bright, art-filled New Year! __ FOR-SITE’s office is closed until January 2, but you can always visit the Goldsworthy installations (sans tinsel and garland of course 😉) any time you want. ... though be sure to call @presidiosf to schedule your “Tree Fall” visit in advance if you want to see it on a weekday — 415.561.2767)
