Foreclosure, USA: The Great Recession
Artists Gallery at Fort Mason
5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Inspired by the dust bowl photographs of the Great Depression, Kirk Crippens photographed the home foreclosure crisis of 2008 and 2009; Stockton, CA, an epicenter of the foreclosure crisis, became his subject. As the project neared completion, he made it a priority to find creative and timely ways to take the photographs to the people.
As part of preparations for a grant proposal, he partnered from various nonprofit institutions including the SFMOMA Artists Gallery, the Sierra Club, and the Museum of the African Diaspora; this exhibition is an outgrowth of that collaboration.
Free and open to the public. Visit the Artists Gallery webpage for address and directions.
