The City’s park system also includes 15 recreation centers, nine swimming pools, five golf courses as well as tennis courts, ball diamonds, athletic fields and basketball courts. The Recreation and Park Department manages the Marina Yacht Harbor, Candlestick (Monster) Park, the San Francisco Zoo, and the Lake Merced Complex. In total, the Department currently owns and manages roughly 3,380 acres of parkland and open space. Together with other city agencies and state and federal open space properties within the city, about 6,360 acres of recreational resources (a variety of parks, walkways, landscaped areas, recreational facilities, playing fields and unmaintained open areas) serve San Francisco.172 San Franciscans also benefit from the Bay Area regional open spaces system. Regional resources include public open spaces managed by the East Bay Regional Park District in Alameda and Contra Costa counties; the National Park Service in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties as well as state park and recreation areas throughout. In addition, thousands of acres of watershed and agricultural lands are preserved as open spaces by water and utility districts or in private ownership. The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails.

  • THE VISUAL ARTS of LINDA VALLEJO: Indigenous Spirituality, Indigenist Sensibility, and Emplacement
    THE VISUAL ARTS OF LINDA VALLEJO: Indigenous Spirituality, Indigenist Sensibility, and Emplacement Karen Mary Davalos Analyzing nearly forty years of art by Linda Vallejo, this article argues that her indigenist sensibility and indigenous spirituality create the aesthetics of disruption and continuity. In turn this entwined aesthetics generates emplacement, a praxis that resists or remedies the injuries of colonialism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression that displace and disavow indigenous, Mexican, and Chicana/o populations in the Americas. Her visual art fits squarely within the trajectory of Chicana feminist decolonial practice, particularly in its empowerment of indigenous communities, Mexicans, and Chicana/os in the hemisphere. Key Words: Emplacement, hemispheric studies, aesthetic practice, spiritual mestizaje, decolonial imaginary, indigenous epistemology. Born in Los Angeles and raised by three generations of Mexican- heritage women, Linda Vallejo creates an oeuvre that is easy to understand as feminist and indigenist. Ancestral women, including three great-grandmothers, grandmothers, her mother, and several great aunts, were the artist’s first sources of feminist and indigenous knowledge. Vallejo describes one great- grandmother as “una indígena” because she was short, had dark skin, and wore trenzas and huaraches; she was also very strong, even fierce, having worked in the fields as she migrated north (Vallejo 2013).1 The appellation indicates the way in which Vallejo understands knowledge and subjectivity as emerging from material conditions, social forces, and affect, rather than biology. Vallejo is also a world traveler. Because of her father’s military service, she visited “all the major museums of Europe, many of them as a very young girl” (Vallejo 2013).

  • The LA Art Scene in the Political 1970S
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 48:1 (2016), pp. 61-83. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Claims by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os for alternative space: The LA art scene in the political 1970s Eva Zetterman University of Gothenburg Abstract: Originating in the context of the Civil Rights Movements and political ac- tivities addressing issues of race, gender and sexuality, the Women’s Liberation move- ment and the Chicano Movement became departures for two significant counter art movements in Los Angeles in the 1970s. This article explores some of the various reasons why Anglo American feminist artists and Chicana artists were not able to fully collaborate in the 1970s, provides some possible explanations for their separa- tion, and argues that the Eurocentric imperative in visual fine art was challenged already in the 1970s by Chicana/o artists in Los Angeles. In so doing, the art activism by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os is comparatively investigated with Los Angeles as the spatial framework and the 1970s as the time frame. Four main com- ponents are discussed: their respective political aims, alternative art spaces, peda- gogical frameworks and aesthetic strategies. The study found that the art activisms by Anglo American feminists and Chicanas/os differed. These findings suggest that a task ahead is to open up a dialogue with Chicana/o activist art, making space for more diverse representations of activities and political issues, both on the mainstream art scene and in the history of art. Keywords: the Los Angeles art scene – art activism – alternative art spaces – Chica- nas/os – feminism In the historiography of fine art, the 1970s is recognized as the decade when feminism entered the scene.

While the overall tenor of the observance remained laudatory regarding Columbus, his achievement, and the subsequent “settlement” 1 of the New World by Europeans, some Americans insisted that media and other popular representations of the offi - cial recognition elided important aspects of this historical moment and its aftermath. Protests and counterdemonstrations ranged from mild to mili - tant with churches, schools, and indigenous and other activist groups cri - tiquing the limited portrayal of the yearlong commemoration.

  • Hispanic Art in Texas Teacher Resource 2
    ART, IDENTITY, CULTURE TEJANO CULTURE IN EARLY TEXAS AND CONTEMPORARY ART LESSON ONE ART AND REPRESENTATION BEFORE THE LESSON It is important for students to be able to critically evaluate what they see, particularly as this relates to the representation of culture. Without a critical eye, students may accept stereotypical interpretations and not strive for accurate representations of peoples and cultures. OVERVIEW In this lesson, students identify and discuss how examples of Early Texas Art represent Tejano culture, comparing works for the ways that they construct their subjects. They will consider the social and historical conditions under which the images were made and offer plausible explanations for the paintings' meanings. Finally, they will evaluate what primary sources are necessary to investigate culture appropriately. In doing so, the students identify the tools that they will use in the remaining lessons. OBJECTIVES STUDENTS WILL: Interpret images for their meaning Compare different images for their meanings Employ terms introduced in the unit (Tejano, Anglo, culture, identity, representation, stereotype) Compose a plausible extension for each image Evaluate resources needed for more complete interpretations of the images HISTORICAL INFORMATION These three paintings represent different periods of Texas history. Theodore Gentilz's painting was created in the Republic of Texas (1836-1845). Gentilz was a Frenchman who moved to San Antonio in 1843 and painted the city's diverse cultures as he saw them. The image seen here represents a fandango dance. José Arpa made his image in 1929, just before the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Tejanos at this time experienced discrimination and schools were segregated.
