Join us for a day of performance, music, ceremony, conversation, and collective
memory as artists from Guatemala, Mexico, and across the United States activate
the Pioneer Monument through site-specific works that reimagine public space
and the stories our monuments tell.

o Marlyn Boror Bor (Guatemala)
o Mia Eve Rollow
o La Pocha Nostra - Phantom Mariachi
?
Baaits
?
La Gente
?

?
Inti Mystica
guest artists, community workshops, ceremonial gatherings, live
music,
and more.
Over the past two months, Embassy of the Refugee has transformed the Pioneer
Monument into a living site of dialogue, resilience, and collective imagination.
Wrapped in reflective gold and built alongside communities in movement and artist
ambassadors, the scaffold has become a monument to labor, migration, and
belonging.
This free public event marks the culmination of the residency and invites everyone
to imagine new forms of public memory.
Free & Open to the Public
Presented by the support of Shaping Legacy Initiative, the San Francisco Arts
Commission, Monument Lab Fellowship, and The Rooming House Residency and
Lead Artis Kaleb Duarte.
