The graphic designer has always had an important role in movements for social justice. This tour will highlight objects from the Letterform Archive that designers produced in service of revolutionary struggles from around the world spanning 100 years. These objects will tell stories of international solidarity, student activism, racial justice organizing, and queer liberation. In many cases, those who produced these works risked their lives to design, print, and distribute materials to protest injustice, win campaigns, and ultimately change the cultural narrative around those issues. They utilized evolving technologies to craft their messages for mass production and disrupt oppressive narratives. As we face a difficult political terrain today, we can learn from the social justice movements of the past. We can find inspiration from designers who devote their talents to visualizing a more just and sustainable world as we reflect on our own roles and responsibilities to fight repression.  Our docent for this in-person tour is Sabiha Basrai. This tour was made possible by a generous grant from Hauser & Wirth. Sabiha Basrai is a co-owner of Design Action Collective—a worker-owned cooperative dedicated to serving social justice movements with art, graphic design, and web development. She is a Core Member of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, where she works with racial justice organizers on international solidarity campaigns. Sabiha is part of the Center for Political Education Advisory Board, a member of Race Forward's Affiliate Training team, and a docent at the Letterform Archive focusing on global scripts and internationalism.

一數

A few hundred metres from San Francisco&#39;s pier, Alcatraz was once the hardest-core prison in the United States, and after the prison closed in the 1960s, Alcatraz was occupied by Native Americans for nineteen months, and the island&#39;s social hall was burned down. Alcatraz became the Golden Gate National Amusement Park, designated as a national historical landmark in 1986, including the burned social hall, which is 15 minutes by boat from San Francisco.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Golden Gate Bridge

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known tourist attraction in the United States. If you come to San Francisco, you must check in at the Golden Gate Bridge.

There are many bridges in China that are more majestic than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, just take a tourist photo near the Golden Gate Bridge to say &quot;I&#39;ve been here&quot;. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go early, otherwise when the sun sets, the photos will be backlit.
