This 81-piece show addressing social unrest and the collective lived experience of the pandemic features art and poetry by 62 internationally recognized visual artists, writers, and poets with deep roots across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Curated by artist and activist Adrián Arias, this project was inspired by Adrián’s lucid dream of a fortune teller and cards embellished with images of viruses, masks, Black Lives Matter marches, and protests during the peak of the pandemic.

Enlisting his friends and fellow artist community to collaborate on the cards, Adrián made the tarot deck a reality, compiling the artwork in 2020 and publishing it in December 2021 with Nomadic Press.

***

Presented by Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST) and Baldocchi Projects, a fiscally sponsored project of Intersection for the Arts.

Generously funded by #StartSmall and First Republic Foundation.

About the artist

Adrián Arias (American, born in Peru) is a visual artist, poet, performer, curator, activist, and cultural promoter, who brings together multidisciplinary artists to engage in community projects with messages of social justice, racial equality, climate change, peace, beauty, health, and hope in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Adrián uses his dreams as creative initiatives, which he makes come true in performances and community projects. He has participated in international group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, The Ibero-American Biennial, The Contemporary Museum of Barcelona, and art residencies at the de Young Museum, Benamil Spain, Google new Mountain View building and at the Red Poppy Art House in San Francisco.

Adrián has been commissioned to do murals in SF Chinatown and Oakland Lakeshore, in addition to the Black Lives Matter on the asphalt of the Petaluma Library, and the giant altar for George Floyd at SOMArts. Recently he has been commissioned by Luggage Store Gallery and Someland Foundation to paint a mural on two three-story buildings in the tenderloin of San Francisco, exalting art and music as a means of medicine, and combining his Mochica culture with the Ohlone culture, which is the territory where currently we are living.
