Filled with a revolutionary spirit, Vikrant Bhise’s Archival Historicity series offers a dynamic visual archive of the Dalit Panthers, a group dedicated to seeking freedom from caste, gender, and labor inequities for India’s most oppressed and marginalized peoples. Founded in 1972 in Mumbai and taking inspiration from the Oakland-based Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the Dalit Panthers sought to align themselves with their Bay Area counterparts in a global struggle for equality and social change.
Bhise’s intimate, postcard-sized works are made up of many layers: painted and printed elements from manifestos and pamphlets interact and overlap with newspaper images, urban monuments, and symbolic cartoons. Installed in a continuous sequence spanning a gallery wall, these selections from the ongoing series “evoke the small, localized experiences that add up to global movements, while underscoring the enduring significance of the Panthers’ call for equality,” says Padma Dorje Maitland, Malavalli Family Foundation Associate Curator of the Art of the Indian Subcontinent. This exhibition marks their first showing in a major museum.

The collection is very rich, and the quality of Chinese cultural relics is also very high.
It is next to the Tenderloin area, so try to avoid it. The streets are dirty and messy, and there are black people like zombies everywhere. On the day I went there, I was in a hurry, so I went straight through Mason St.

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

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.

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

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.
