SEE EVENT DETAILS
¡Géntromancer! Exhibition by Josue Rojas
Live Musical Performance By: Chulita Vinyl Club
Mission muralist Josué Rojas new mixed media exhibition, “Géntromancer!” tackles social issues in San Francisco by intertwining community literary voices with personal art. ¡Géntromancer! features visual work across a range of mediums including painting, drawing and murals and derives it’s inspiration from by William Gibson’s cult-classic 1984 cyberpunk novel “Neuromancer”.
One of the prominent themes of the exhibit is gentrification. Rojas has expanding his show beyond his own pieces, to feature voices of those in the Bay Area community that have increasingly been impacted by displacement—homelessness, economic disparity, evictions and forced migrations—of its long-term residents.
“The range and scope of voices in the poetry directly feed the work” Rojas said. “It’s a place in which we as the community are able to say who we are, and what we want. Moreover, it is a place in which we are able to articulate our power, resilience and our dreams for the future.”
