The exhibition takes place at Queer Arts Featured, in the storefront that was once Harvey Milk's camera store and campaign headquarters.

But the art in this show makes clear that the frustration does not stop at the district line. What starts as a question about one city seat becomes a question about power at every scale: who holds it, who it protects, and what happens to the people left standing when it fails?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDistrict 8 covers the Castro, Noe Valley, Glen Park, Diamond Heights, and part of the Mission. It is the neighborhood most people picture when they say \"queer San Francisco,\" and it has spent decades represented by a rotating cast of supervisors. Some were effective, some absent, some gone before their term was finished. The district wasn't always called District 8. It was District 5 when Harvey Milk ran his campaign out of this very space, and the lines have shifted more than once since. The office meant to protect this neighborhood has never been fixed or reliable. It has been handed off, contested, and occasionally left empty (like so many storefronts) at the exact moment the community needed it most.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome of that shows up as record and reckoning.

A ceramic bust priced at less than a month of living expenses in this city carries a detail that is not decoration. A ceramic jar was made while a decades-long friendship ended over an ongoing genocide, and it insists that local elections are never really local. A sculpture asks, who gets called a freedom fighter and who gets called a threat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen there is memory as instruction. Photographs from a 1992 parade protest show queer activists being loud in a space that did not want them, proof this is not new work for our community. A handmade recreation of an artifact from a hundred-year-old pioneering self-portrait, says the blueprint for surviving fascism already exists. A film with no spoken dialogue, adapted from a 1977 book about queer kinship, tells no linear story. It just lets you sit inside a world built on care instead of permission.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNone of these artists were told to make hopeful or angry work. Both showed up anyway, often in the same piece. That sometimes nuanced dissonance feels at home in this neighborhood. The Castro, in ways, under-protected by the people whose job it was to protect it, and its residents who never once stopped building resilience anyway. \"UNsupervised\" does not resolve the tension between what has been lost and what is still being made.

As a non-binary queer artist, this piece channels the collective devastation of witnessing our hard-won freedom and safety continually stripped away. More than just a reaction to systemic oppression and rising hate, it is a visual expression of the paralyzing fear within our community—where mere existence is treated as a threat, and navigating daily life becomes an act of survival.

My most recent work is focused on experiences of place and questions surrounding queer ecology: Who survives and is visible in their survival? As a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, I view tides as a metaphor for the human experience. Intertidal zone inhabitants like kelp, invertebrates, and herons must all navigate extremes of abundance and scarcity, just as many queer people are required to do under the current political climate. In paintings, quilts, and film photographs, I center this imagery and often place disembodied human hands at the perimeter as though grasping for something beyond understanding.

This self portrait, shot on film in an East Bay redwood forest, symbolizes the perseverance of trans, non-binary, and genderqueer people to express and exist with assertive joy.
