#Repost @mccalmanco with @get_repost. THANK YOU GEORGE @mccalmanco !!! Today’s Culture Desk section of @sfchronicle features my First Person column as this... weekend’s cover story. The profile of artist @LavaThomas is a story of the ages. When I was conceptualizing this new column last fall, I made a wish list of people, avatars of cultural change in the Bay Area, who I wanted to interview in longer form. Lava was one of the first people I wrote down. I was really grateful when she agreed to sit for the interview. As I stated in my introduction to the piece, Lava is one of my clients, so we had already touched on the debacle with the San Francisco Arts Commission in our personal dialogue. But what I realized: there was no sequential telling of this story when I’d read it elsewhere. I read the political and cultural (and racial) drama, and there was a whole mess of it, but not the context, and the toll it had taken. I knew the telling had to come from Lava directly. And she was ready to tell her own story. What a story it is. #FirstPersonSF #ObservedSF (Link to the online version at the top of my page). Written, illustrated and designed by me. See more
