Bikes Not Bombs
Salon Macias is excited to feature our next artist Carina Lomeli
and her inspired work that we are celebrating with an evening of live music, food and fun.
Carina Lomeli:
Water color Series 2011- 2014
In these hard and confusing times, where as an adult I must understand that everything that I do affects the universe, I see people taking sides and deciding who they fit with best. In this water color series I take my personal stories to capture the collaboration in the city of San Francisco where political, social, educational and artistic systems are always changing.
What does it mean when people post sings like "HIPSTER REPENT" in the mission? I see it as a revolution in admitting the mistakes of the past, stolen dreams, stolen gold, stolen Identity and stolen land.
Although this series is still incomplete the following pieces will show the cruelty of animals for pure human entertainment and images of protesters. San Francisco is known for all its tourist attractions, I call them tourist traps, because when you step outside those comfort zones is when you begin to see the real Bay Area (and its hard to get around the tourists). The bicycle images where taken during a Bike Party's or Critical Mass. I truly believe Love and bikes can change our perspectives minds and eventually the world. Bikes not BOMBS!
