Transform a giant sheet of butcher paper into a vibrant, interactive map of San Francisco where curiosities become landmarks and community knowledge flows across neighborhoods! In this hands-on workshop, participants will chart favorite places to relax, learn, and create; design playful “curiosity landmarks” out of fabric and found materials; and weave connections with colorful yarn to show how resources move through the city. Along the way, you’ll share stories, discover new neighbors, and leave with fresh connections, local resources, and a photo of our collaborative community map. Space limited. Seats available first come, first served.
Creative Mutual Aid is an art and mutual aid collective dedicated to fostering community, connection, and support through collaborative public art events. They activate parks, plazas, and other natural gathering spaces to create spontaneous communities where individuals can express themselves creatively, share skills, and engage in acts of generosity rooted in gift economy principles. Their efforts aim to build a more inclusive, supportive society beyond transactions. They also operate a 24/7 creative request line (252-MYSTERY), where they respond directly to community needs with handmade art, city-specific resource lists, and spontaneous creative projects.
