Poet/Artist Kim Shuck is collaborating with Clarion Alley Mural Project to create Manifest Differently, a multifaceted project involving 37 additional multigenerational artists and poets from different backgrounds. Using literary, visual, and media arts storytelling in conjunction with public programming, the collaboration will explore the expansionist ideology of Manifest Destiny, its continuing impact on multi-cultural and multi-ethnic communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, its legacies of inherited and perpetuated violence, trauma, and addiction, and the outgrowth of resistance and resilience – giving fire to movements for social change. The collaboration is supported by fiscal sponsorship from Independent Arts & Media.
