SYSTEM FAILURE: displacement

SEE EVENT DETAILS
6:30pm Artist led gallery tour with Jenny Odell and Xandra Ibarra
7:00pm Presentation by the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project
System Failure brings artists together who are examining the tactical and systemic failings of technology, and that conversation would not be complete in San Francisco without looking at the issue of displacement. Join members of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project as they offer a preview of their new atlas manuscript, Counterpoints: A Bay Area Atlas for Resisting Displacement, which tells a regional story of gentrification, particularly as it is racialized and classed. The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) is a data visualization, digital cartography, and multimedia collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The project aims to inform, empower, and activate communities impacted by housing inequity and displacement, supporting the work of collectives fighting for housing justice.
Erin McElroy is a cofounder of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and doctoral candidate in Feminist Studies at the University of California Santa Cruz. Erin’s doctoral work revolves the politics of race, space, and displacement in postsocialist and Silicon Valley contexts. Erin has also been part of ongoing housing justice organizing in the Bay Area and in Romania, and recently co-founded the new Radical Housing Journal.
Mary Shi is a doctoral candidate in Sociology at the University of California Berkeley. Mary is broadly interested in the intersection of society and space. In addition to her work with the Mapping Project, Mary is also working on a dissertation tracing the historical development of the American nation-state through large scale infrastructure projects of territorial engineering. Mary grew up on the fringes of the Bay Area and is committed to grappling with the Bay Area in all of its complexity and celebrating the power of partial perspective.

SYSTEM FAILURE is an apexart Open Call Exhibition curated by Harris Kornstein and Cara Rose DeFabio. 
Harris Kornstein is a PhD student in Media, Culture, and Communications at NYU, as well as an artist whose work explores digital culture and new media, media-based art and activism, and queer politics.
Cara Rose DeFabio produces live cultural events in her hometown of San Francisco that examine the role technology plays in our lives, and how it is shaping the city.
