| Six of ten Bay Area residents are people of color, yet remain under-represented in the arts. Write Now! SF Bay Founder/ Director Shizue Seigel has brought together ten local artists whose work expresses their perspectives as Black, Brown, Indigenous and/or People of Color (BIPOC). These creative talents are: Salma Arastu, Adrian Arias, Lorraine Bonner, C. K. Itamura, Choppy Oshiro, Shizue Seigel, Malik Seneferu, Twin Walls Mural Company (Elaine Chu, Marina Perez- Wong), and Mel Waters. |
| Besides being visual artists, they are poets, performers, healers, educators, and community activists. Their work enlarges our understanding of social justice and inspires us to actively contribute to a better world. They ask: What lessons can we learn from history? How do we define who is American? What can we do to foster a just and compassionate society?
