FOR-SITE's acclaimed exhibition Black Gold: Stories Untold will reopen for one final weekend, Friday - Monday, October 10 - 13!
To celebrate the conclusion of Black Gold, FOR-SITE will host two performances on Sunday, October 12, at 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM. The Untold Stories Performances feature staged monologues by actors representing historic figures highlighted in the exhibition.
As a result of the shutdown of the Federal government, Black Gold closed ahead of its scheduled conclusion on November 2. Thanks to the generous support of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, a major partner for the exhibition, and in collaboration with the National Park Service, FOR-SITE is able to reopen the exhibition for this final weekend.
Black Gold features the work of 17 contemporary artists and collectives to illuminate the transformative impact of Black communities on California's cultural, social, and political histories and contexts. Focusing on the period from the Gold Rush to Reconstruction following the Civil War (c. 1848-1877), the exhibition engages visitors with the powerful narratives and experiences of African Americans of the time. Since its opening on June 6 at Fort Point National Historic Site, Black Gold has welcomed more than 70,000 people of all ages and backgrounds, to enjoy incredible works of art, including more than two dozen new commissions, and to engage with remarkable yet lesser-known California stories.
