'I visit a lot of art galleries, and I usually take Muni to get to them. But, until recently, I’d never seen a Muni bus inside an art gallery.'
I visit a lot of art galleries, and I usually take Muni to get to them. But, until recently, I’d never seen a Muni bus inside an art gallery. The piece in question was Sahsa Lu and Ling Ling Lee’s “Altered SF,” 2023, the centerpiece of “Muni Raised Me,” a group exhibition at SOMArts. This is just one of over 30 artworks by 13 different San Francisco-born and raised artists, filmmakers and writers on view.
Many works in the show emphasize Muni as a melting pot, a site of collaboration and conversation. MC Amable’s series of mixed-media paintings, “Muni Time Travel,” 2023, presents various interior scenes through Muni bus windows, showing Muni as a multigenerational, multicultural space, where a father and daughter play catch, teenagers gather to gossip, and a woman curls up quietly with a book.
The tribute to transportation blends with a history of displacement in many of the artworks, raising timely issues of the housing insecurity many Bay Area residents face. Erina Alejo’s “this place rests a home,” 2023, is a mixed-media installation featuring a poem about evictions printed on multiple sheets of paper.
