Knock the Hustle I saw you ride up on your bike and knew the hustle.

You tried to shake my hand and slow play it, but it was all about money. I told you I had no cash and then you shifted the play to cigarettes. I told you I didn't have any smokes and you looked at me like I was the jerk wasting your time.

After I crossed the street I looked back to see another man on a bike punking you before taking back what must have been his auxiliary bike. Off he rode, one hand directing his bike and the other steering the riderless two-wheeler. A few days later, I saw you again and you tried to make the exact same hustle. I guess I just have one of those anonymous faces.

THE FLY

Fems vs. Dems State-level Democrats are grappling with how to address domestic violence allegations against one of their own—Assemblyman ROGER HERNANDEZ. In Santa Clara County, a similar conversation is taking place in the Democratic Central Committee (DCC).

Women who say the party has taken a passive approach with CHRIS STAMPOLIS, a Santa Clara Unified trustee with a history of alleged abusiveness toward women.

Although, it seems his reputation came back to bite him this past month when he lost the bid for a fourth term on the Democratic National Committee. Meanwhile, years-old harassment claims against another local party member resurfaced when a woman, who They asked to withhold her Did identity, saw What?

SHAIAN MOHAMMADI’s SEND TIPS TO name on the June FLY@ ballot as appointed DCC METRONEWS. incumbent in the 28th COM Assembly District. She says Mohammadi, who handles social media for the California Young Dems, posted a topless photo of her on Twitter after their month-long fling fell apart in 2011. Mohammadi firmly denies the charge. ANN GRABOWSKI, a policy analyst San Jose City Hall, then came forward to say that she experienced Mohammadi’s unwanted attention in 2013 when she worked as an aide for Councilman DON ROCHA. “I trust her wholeheartedly,” Rocha tells Fly. “If these accusations are true, there is a disturbing pattern of behavior directed towards women.” Mohammadi questions the motives and timing of the claims, pointing to his record of advocating for women and his position as delegate for presidential hopeful HILLARY CLINTON. It’s a touchy subject for local Dems, who have tried to recruit more women to run for public office while lobbying for femalefriendly legislation. To that end, it appointed county schools trustee DARCIE GREEN as its first-ever director of gender equity in 2014. Unfortunately, she abandoned the post earlier this year amid revelations that her new husband, RICARDO MONZON, is a convicted woman-batterer.

Making Amends FIELD DAY A Bureau of Land Management (BLM) official looks on as Valentin Lopez of the Amah Mutsun tribe and BLM Field Manager Rick Cooper sign an agreement.

Native American tribe Amah Mutsun, Feds partner on land deal

BY JESSICA AND MATTHEW RENDA

S

TRIKING A TRADITIONAL wooden percussion instrument with his palm, Valentin Lopez sings his Native American tribe’s prayer during a ceremony at the Coast Dairies property as people gathered around. He sings alone, in a voice strong and forlorn, using the ancient words of the Amah Mutsun.

The Amah Mutsun dwelled in the expansive stretch of land nestled by the

ocean and the grass-covered western slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains, with Año Nuevo State Park bordering to the north and the Salinas River to the south.

Lopez is president of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, made up of the descendants of the ancient tribes that once roamed over the area. The Amah Mutsun use prayers, song and ceremonies to call back the salmon and migratory birds or to sing for the balance of the four seasons.

Joining Lopez and his fellow tribe members at the late-May ceremony officials from the federal government, the University of California at Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County and the Sempervirens Fund. At the ceremony, the descendents of the area’s indigenous people signed an agreement with managers of the Coastal Dairies property.

With the new pact, the tribe enters into an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management, the federal agency in charge of managing most of the CotoniCoast Dairies property. The tribe now has equal authority over the property to manage native plants, preserve wildlife and undertake a more culturally sensitive approach to archaeology.

“It is not only the prayers and ceremonies of Native people that are needed to save Mother Earth,” Lopez says. “It is the prayers and ceremonies of all people.”

Under its deed, the feds must drum up a plan that protects vegetation and opportunities for recreation, says Rick Cooper, a field manager for the federal land management bureau.

Now that they signed the agreement, Amah Mutsun tribe members are waiting for either Congress or President Obama to issue a declaration that would turn the 5,741-acre federal property into the Cotoni-Coast Dairies

National Monument—a nod to the former ranching area’s 20th-century landlords and livestock, as well as its original inhabitants.

The process began in 1998, when the Trust for Public Land bought nearly 7,000 acres of property from the Coast Dairies and Land Company. The swath of rolling hills, rocky coastal bluffs and rugged beaches located just outside the small town of Davenport represented the third-largest privately held coastal property from San Francisco to Mexico. When the Spanish arrived in Amah Mutsun territory in 1797, they found a network of villages up and down the Monterey Bay. The Cotoni people were a tribe with their own language that settled the area that is modern-day Davenport, as well as the ridgelines, swells and redwood-dotted hills that comprise its surroundings. The Spanish, who scorned Amah Mutsun culture, persecuted the natives, forcibly converting them to Christianity, while enslaving them to help build the California missions.

The scorn and forced religious indoctrination intensified with the arrival of white American settlers from the east in the 1840s and 1850s. Fresh off of battles with the Native Americans of the Great Plains, the settlers violently fought the coastal tribes and exploited the forests for timber, the rivers for power and the wildlife for food.

A century and a half later, largescale environmental disasters loom, Lopez says, with climate change and ocean acidification on the rise, the coast rapidly eroding, and air quality declining. The human family, he says, is harking back to the Native perspective of harmony within nature rather than dominion over it.

“It’s about restoring relationships,” Lopez says. “A big part of this [agreement] is restoring the spiritual connection to Mother Earth and returning people to an understanding of the connections we have with all things.”

Unlike tribes in the Midwest such as the Lakota and Navajo, the Amah Mutsun lacks federal recognition and therefore has no claim on their ancestral land. Recently, however, they created a land trust that would allow the tribe to buy property or enter into management agreements.

“We plan on incorporating indigenous management techniques into the practices here,” says Rick Flores,

a traditional resource management specialist with UC Santa Cruz.

“Hopefully, we will try to restore some of these landscapes back to what they may have looked like prior to contact.”

Federal authorities say the tribe’s presence will extend beyond incorporating traditional techniques into management of flora and fauna.

Cooper has talked with tribal leaders about creating an educational program for kids about the traditional uses of land on the property. “They can come out and look at [the land] and do traditional practices that their ancestors did,” he says.

Lopez says the descendants of the Cotoni are scattered, with many living in Fresno, unable to afford the Central Coast’s high cost of living.

But he says practicing the rites of the tribe on ancestral lands will help members heal from the depredations of European settlers.

“Our history is tragic,” he says. “The Mission period, the Mexican period and the early American periods were devastating to our peoples. The Indian population of California was reduced by over 96 percent. The ancestors said our peoples will suffer for seven generations and then things will get better.”

Federal authorities have yet to say when the public can access the land.

Some local residents are apprehensive about what the designation could mean for their tiny beach town. In the meantime, California State Parks manages about 400 acres of the Coast Dairies property, which includes seven beaches just south of Davenport.

The Trust for Public Land has also retained a few parcels by farmland in the interest of keeping agricultural uses open, Cooper says. Federal land management officials say they will work with locals to figure out what recreational activities they would like to see—such as mountain biking, equestrian uses and hiking.

Lopez says it’s important that the Amah Mutsun receive a portion of redress for historic crimes and that they are allowed to walk the hollows and hills where they believe the spirits of their ancestors dwell.

“We believe the Creator very specifically picked our people to live on these lands and to care for all living things,” Lopez says. “After we were ripped from our lands we were unable to fulfill our sacred covenant, but the directive from the Creator was never rescinded.”

HELP

EXPERTS ON SILICON VALLEY HOMELESSNESS DEBATE HOW TO BALANCE SHORT-TERM CHARITY WITH LONG-TERM SOLUTIONS

BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

O

N A MIDWEEK morning at Tully Ballfield, people scramble up from the creek banks, pull up in ramshackle vans and bicycles for a meal and clothing giveaway. Well over 100 of them line up for the potluck cooked by local church folk while others rifle through trash bags stuffed with secondhand garments.

Deb Kramer, who leads a creek cleanup coalition, shakes her head disapprovingly. “Watch,” she says, arms folded across her chest. “A lot of this will end up in the trash or the water.”

She approaches the volunteers dishing out pasta, honeyed ham and fresh-cut fruit to ask why they don’t feed the homeless on church property.

Their hard work goes to waste, she tells them, and her picker-uppers have to tidy up after them. Literally tons of edible food and wearable clothes are left to rot, she says, and those Styrofoam plates break into millions of water-polluting pieces.

Phil Mastrocola, head of homeless outreach for Grace Baptist Church, walks up to intervene. “As long as they’re hungry, we’ll feed them,” he says firmly. “We’re going to use city property because it’s public, it’s ours, it’s theirs, that’s what city property is for.”

“I understand that, but it’s making a mess down there,” Kramer says.

“Can you at least bring people in to clean up after?”

“Well, where’s the city in all this?”

Mastrocola wonders aloud, raising his voice and his hands. “Why doesn’t the city put in more trash cans or port-a-potties? Where are they?

Don’t put it on all on the churches.”

“The problem is that it backs up to you and us,” she replies in exasperation.

“You just made my point,” Mastrocola says. He later apologizes for the impassioned exchange. “We’re on the same side,” he tells Kramer as she heads toward the water bank to survey the damage.

“I grew up here and I love this creek,” Kramer says once they part ways. “I get frustrated, too, about the incongruity of my passion for the environment and my passion for helping the homeless.”

By the creek, donated coats and bright-colored shirts hang limply over fallen oak trunks. Donated tents stand by rusty bikes, scavenged copperstripped conduits, ripped plastic bags full of canned soup and bagged breads.

“Look,” Kramer says, pausing to point at one of several uneaten food heaps. “That’s what they’re serving up there. So much of it goes to waste.”

*** A shift in public perception and political will has led to an unprecedented effort to house the homeless in Santa Clara County. After decades of relying on a

patchwork of services that treated the symptoms, local governments decided to fix what caused Silicon Valley’s homeless population to become the fifth-largest in the nation.

Last year, the Board of Supervisors formed a task force dedicated to finding shelter for the 7,500 people living on the region’s streets, creeks, cars and camps on a given night. Coming together, however, has sparked tension among public agencies, the nonprofits they fund and volunteers on the ground. Not everyone agrees on how best to help the destitute, or how to align grassroots charity with broader institutional efforts.

A lack of communication between public agencies and independent outreach groups has led to disputes over strategy—growing pains for a young alliance.

Part of the debate centers on how to balance the long-term goal of housing everyone with their immediate needs for food, clothing and transitional shelter. For charities that focus on survival, the line between enabling and empowering sometimes blurs. “Helping can hurt,” says Karen Addato, who founded Breakthrough Outreach/ Shelter Network in 2009 to pull

the hardest-to-reach homeless people into the social safety net. “I’ve known people who died on the streets with a donated meal in their belly and a donated blanket on their body. We want to lift people up, not keep them where they are.”

If volunteers stop handing out meals at public parks, she suggests, it would force people into soup kitchens and food pantries, where they could connect with other services. It would also prevent the kind of environmental damage that

volunteers like Kramer have to deal with at Tully Ballfield and other Coyote Creek homeless camps. “So many people work with the homeless full-time,” Kramer adds. “That’s all they do. If people supported existing service providers, then they wouldn’t work against our goal to restore Coyote Creek to its natural beauty.”

San Jose’s Homelessness Response Manager Ray Bramson agrees that people who want to help the unsheltered should plug into established programs. Handing out food at random isn’t an effective charity, he says. “While feeding people shows some support, there are public health risks,” he says. “There are also so many other ways to get involved. We have a great number of nonprofits with extensive experience working with homeless individuals, connecting people into services that can stabilize them in the long-term.”

Mastrocola, who began working with the homeless at the tail end of the latest Great Recession, wants people to support institutional efforts, too. But a cohort of local churches—including his—have committed to filling the gaps created by decades of broken policy.

“Not everyone can make the five-mile trip to the food pantry,” he says. “So we go to where they are. That’s our ministry, at least one part of it.”

The churches behind the Tully Ballfield potlucks also offer shelter and safe parking lots for people who sleep in their cars. That same group, called the Winter Faith Collaborative, welcomes homeless men and women into their congregation and helps them find jobs, room rentals and health care. There’s also the matter of clothes that fit, tampons, soaps, clean socks and underwear and shoes that withstand the elements.

“We want to solve this, too,” Mastrocola says. “The difference is that we’re going to help people right now.

We’re going to keep feeding people who need it until we have enough affordable housing, employment, a living wage … and other protections against the systemic causes of homelessness.”

*** Homelessness has long been considered inextricable from urban life—something to endure rather than solve. It wasn’t always that way.

Unsheltered populations used to follow

the economy’s boom-bust cycle. When the market recovered, houseless people did, too. That began to change with deinstitutionalization in the 1960s that cast the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the streets by the thousands. In the decades to follow, massive cuts to social services and subsidized housing further gutted the social safety net.

Under President Ronald Reagan, spending on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which manages public housing and subsidized rental vouchers, shrank from $26 billion to $8 billion. Every administration since has continued divesting from public housing and subsidies that used to help the poorest Americans bounce back. As a result, homelessness has become an assumed fixture of the American cityscape. No longer a temporary population of addicts or a wandering workforce, the homeless represent a diverse swath of humanity—men, women, children, veterans and college students.

While homeless tallies can be wildly inaccurate by failing to account for people couch-surfing, bunking with friends and family or staying in hotels, the 2015 national homeless census put the official point-in-time figure at 565,000. That’s a conservative estimate.

Last year’s national count reported 222,000 homeless households with at least one child—but the Department of Education found 1.2 million homeless children in schools.

A report published in June classified 460,000 students, or 10 percent, in the California State University system as homeless. That doesn’t even factor in the University of California system and private colleges. And though the South Bay’s point-in-time census identified 900 homeless children, the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s count comes closer to 5,000.

Housing, considered a human right in some developed nations, has become a commodity in the United States.

A big part of the discussion around homelessness, of course, is prevention in the face of a market that prices out the poor. With stagnant wages and soaring housing costs, many Silicon Valley households live on the brink of eviction. Thousands are on waiting lists for below-market-rate apartments.

It takes years to qualify for Section 8 housing vouchers. Even with a subsidy, people spend months or years finding a

To make up for the lack of federal funding, local governments stepped in, delegating much of the responsibility for low-income housing and shelters to nonprofits. Only in recent years have the Bay Area’s public agencies started to reinvest in public housing. San Jose approved several motel-to-housing flips in the past year. It also resumed a mandate for developers to make 15 percent of new homes below-marketrate or pay an in-lieu fee. This fall, Santa Clara County voters will decide the fate of a $950 million housing bond that could build up to 5,000 affordable housing units over 30 years with matching local funds.

“As a culture, we thought for a long time that homelessness was unsolvable,” says Jennifer Loving, executive director of Destination: Home, a South Bay nonprofit that houses hundreds of chronically unsheltered denizens. “For a long time, people thought all they could do was ease people’s suffering with a blanket or soup. But that doesn’t fix the problem.”

After two decades in the field, Loving feels confident saying there’s an end in sight. About six years ago, nonprofits and governments adopted what they call a “housing first” approach. The new paradigm builds on the old model of government investment in public housing—except this time at a more local level. “It seems obvious,” Loving

says. “If someone has a home, then by definition they’re not homeless.”

Local data shows that 84 percent of the formerly homeless placed in supportive housing—a place with subsidized social services—remain there a year later. That may partly explain why latest countywide census showed a 14 percent drop in the number of people unhoused a given night from 7,631 people in 2013 to 6,556 last year.

Proof, Loving says, that “housing first” works. It’s costly, she acknowledges, but consider the status quo.

The county spends $520 million a year on the homeless by way of jail stays, mental health care and hospital visits.

In the past six years, the county spent $3 billion through scores of agencies and hundreds of public contracts on 104,200 houseless men and women.

More half of them were homeless for only a short period of time, no more than six months. Another 5 percent are considered chronically homeless and account for 47 percent of the public cost.

“Prevention, rapid re-housing and supportive housing—those together are the answer,” she says. “But if you’re a church or an individual or a Boy Scout group, you don’t have those millions of dollars to funnel into those solutions.”

How to help in the meantime has become a matter of political contention. At San Jose’s City Council

A HIGH-TECH HAND UP Karen Addato, founder of Breakthrough Outreach, wants to leverage technology to avoid duplicative charitable efforts.

meeting last week, a unanimous vote killed a proposal for a “tiny home” settlement for the homeless and another plan for a legal encampment. Instead, the council voted for a controversial 162-unit apartment complex for the homeless, backing the kind of permanent solutions prescribed by the “housing first” axiom.

City leaders also agreed to set aside $5 million to pay for building improvements for landlords who house homeless military veterans.

Called All the Way Home, the initiative calls on churches to find landlords willing to house ex-military members with a rental voucher.

When it launched last fall, the county knew that more than 700 veterans needed shelter, and that 260 already had public housing vouchers but no place to redeem then. Since then, 57 landlords have signed on and, at least through March this year, 130 veterans have been housed. “This has been a really effective approach,” says Maya Esparza, who leads the campaign for Destination: Home. “It’s a manageable way for people to help in a way that’s actually solving the problem.”

Also last week, San Jose suspended permit requirements for churches, synagogues and mosques to allow them to shelter 30 people per site for up to three months. “Not everything we hoped for,” says Sheila Hill, 60, an ex-paramedic who lives in her maroon Quest minivan with a wound-up terrier named Jack. “But it doesn’t do much

for me right now and I’ll still need those free meals at Tully until I find a place.”

Kitchens and food banks, however, say the informal feedings may lack follow-through to long-term support. They also may not target parts of the region that need it most.

“These informal feedings almost encourage isolation,” says AnnMarie Zimmermann, CEO of Loaves and Fishes. “Instead of breaking the chain, they perpetuate it. Even in pure economic sense, it’s not the most efficient way to help. The best bang for your buck is to invest that same time and those same resources into the people who do this for a living.”

Last year, however, the Health Trust commissioned a first-of-its-kind report on Silicon Valley that showed a lack of food access for the most vulnerable.

Per the study, homeless people rely on the region’s 14 congregate meal sites—including Martha’s Kitchen and Loaves and Fishes—as a primary food source, followed by 29 food pantries, 44 shelters and a handful of off-thegrid feeding groups. “What we found is that it’s not enough,” says Rachel Horst, who overlaid census, point-intime homeless counts and various other datasets to create the Health Trust report. “People still go hungry.”

If all homeless people got one meal a day, five days a week at local soup kitchens, that would amount to 20,300-plus servings. To meet that benchmark, local nonprofits would have to more than double

*** Karen Addato lost three brothers to the streets. Two drank themselves to death and another still grapples with a drug addiction. She tracked down one of her brothers, Stevie, with Google Earth and briefly reconnected. When Stevie died in 2013, she says, she flew to her home state of Massachusetts to retrace his steps. “He slept in a crate,” Addato says. “And every morning at 8, he would camp outside the same McDonald’s and ask for change.”

Once he collected $11.50, the price of the cheapest vodka, she says, he would call it a day. He would do the same the next morning. Years passed with Stevie camped outside of the same McDonald’s, drinking the same cheap booze and passing out in the same hand-cobbled crate. He died as a John Doe with $4 in his pocket, his broken eyeglasses and a donated cellphone he barely knew how to use. He was 45 years old.

“When that grief hit me, it was like a tsunami,” says Addato, a single mom who seven years ago had lost her home and mortgage business to the economic downturn. “My life had been this fast-moving train, and it all stopped. I then thought that I can’t bring my family back to life, but I can give back to other people.”

At first, she gave back the only way she knew: handing out food. Every week, with help from her son, she prepared and bagged 50 sandwiches to pass out at St. James Park. A devout Christian, she would pray with people and develop relationships with them.

People began to ask her for help getting off the streets, she says, so she began to learn about services out there to help. A second epiphany hit

when she saw people drop her bagged lunches after a vendor rolled up with a cart full of free burritos. “I realized that the problem was not hunger,” she says. “I was building relationships, but I wasn’t lifting them up off the streets.

So I went back to the drawing board.”

Breakthrough Outreach grew after Stevie’s death into a bridge to connect people on the streets with existing social services. Initially, Addato would set up shop at a San Jose McDonald’s to help people fill out job and housing applications. Last year, she bought a refurbished RV dubbed the High Tech Rover, a mobile intake center equipped with laptops and WiFi. Ultimately, she wants to create a sanctioned homeless camp and a mobile app to help other nonprofits, public agencies and individual dogooders collaborate by matching resources to specific needs.

“That way you don’t get random clothing drops,” she says. “That sandwich helps, but you have to be careful not to over-give. Having a technological platform will make things more efficient.”

When Addato first parked the Rover at St. James Park, she says, people lined up because they thought it was a food truck. “I put out this sign that said what we’re serving: detox and recovery,” she says. “Then the line disbursed.” Dave B., a former university professor who lapsed into six months of homelessness and asked to withhold his last name, says he first approached the Rover because he mistook it for a taco stand. Thankfully, he says, it was something else entirely.

Addato helped him sign up for a fivemonth rehab stint at the Salvation Army and then a sober living home.

“I needed free meals,” says Dave, 62, whose resume lists bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees. “There’s a place for that. I needed food to survive. But if that’s all you do, you’re stuck on the lowest rung of existence— just food, clothing, shelter.”

Still, he credits a handout (free food) for preparing him for a hand up (getting placed in a sober living home to kick his addiction). A year ago, he sat through a church service for the promise of a hot meal at noon.

That hour-long wait gave him a rare moment to pause. “They were singing,” he says, “and I remembered that I want to do something on this earth.”

their output. And since most group meal sites lie in the heart of San Jose, they would also have to expand their reach to the most underserved parts of the city—the outskirts south of Highway 280.

“It’s more effective to work collaboratively to feed the homeless,” Horst says. “That way, at least, we can avoid duplicative efforts. But we still have that gap, so we do actually need those informal feeding groups—as long as they move out of downtown, where there’s an over-concentration of feedings, and into the areas that need it the most.”

The Endless Summer tour is easily one of the hottest hip-hop tickets of the season. Oakland native Gerald Earl Gillum, better known as G-Eazy, began his music career in 2008 and launched his second world tour earlier this year. His single “Me Myself & I” peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Also on the tour is is YG, best known for his latest album, Still Brazy and his songs, “Toot It and Boot It” and “Who Do You Love.”

Rounding out the bill is Memphis emcee Yo Gotti, whose latest LP, The Art of Hustle, includes the E-40-featuring “Law” and “Down In The DM.” (DM)

Lord of Light ON TARGET Two new David Ligare exhibits at the Triton Museum in Santa Clara showcase his wide-ranging abilities as a visual artist.

David Ligare's updated classicism at the Triton Museum

BY JEANIE K. SMITH

T

HE TRITON MUSEUM’s current exhibit, featuring the contemporary realist paintings and drawings of David Ligare, is a definite must-see.

Ligare’s work, classicist and idealized, occupies the latter decades of the 20th century, but reflects influences from Ancient Greece and Rome and the Renaissance. It also extends into the 21st century with a relevance that is surprising and

yet somehow familiar. His emphasis on light and perspective as well as “divine proportions” references Humanism of past eras, but updates those ideals with a stunning clarity of vision and purpose.

The Triton's main galleries are devoted to the exhibit, “David Ligare: California Classicist.” Walking into these is a revelation—the sheer size and majesty of Ligare's paintings capture your senses. The light, which Ligare says is a result of having grown up along the Pacific Ocean, illumines the subject in each work with a distinct aura.

Perspective, as found in classical schools of painting and often eschewed by modernism, is a hallmark of Ligare's paintings. He positions the

viewer in relation to the subject to invoke balance and proportion, taking the eye to a distant horizon or a calm linear swath of ocean.

Ligare notes that his interest in the visual language of Greco-Roman history led him to appreciate 5th-century BC Greek sculptor Polykleitos and the French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin, both of whom developed ideals of classicism. Centuries apart, these leading figures continue to influence those seeking a classic rigor and harmony in art. Their core belief is that proportional structure provides a visual, harmonic equivalent to music that in turn can speak powerfully to a spectator.

Ligare identifies three basic elements that guide him in creating his art: structure, surface, and content— structure being the geometric design and proportions; surface, the appearance of nature recreated in the painting; and content in the communication of a specific idea.

This may sound cool and detached, but the effect of Ligare's work is decidedly neither. The viewer is pulled subtly into the painting. It may resemble a photograph in its clarity and smooth precision of representation, but its gaze is purposeful and commanding, leading the viewer's eye with a steady hand. The work isn’t realism, per se– rather, there is an idealized, hyper-real edge to the work, and sometimes a fantastical or whimsical element.

“Penelope,” (1980) one of Ligare's earlier works, poses a seated woman against the horizon of a placid sea. She looks idly toward the viewer, relaxed and barefoot, bathed in afternoon light.

Yet there is a tension in how alive she appears, how she might rise and walk at any moment. We remember the tale of the Odyssey, and how Penelope waits for her husband's return—and here find a contemporary incarnation, in modern chair, by another sea.

“Landscape with a Running Horse,” (1990) exquisitely captures motion in a snapshot, a white horse mid-stride, muscles flexing and tail flying, against a pastoral landscape. Perspective here emphasizes the source of light casting photographic shadows across the horse and landscape.

A series of still lifes recall ceremonial offerings, simple juxtapositions of nature and manmade objects, or thoughtful references to events. One in particular, “Still Life with Grape Juice and Sandwiches (Xenia),” (1989) evokes the Eucharist, but also makes homage to the basic meal supplied by a community kitchen for the homeless in the artist’s home region of Salinas.

The range and diversity of Ligare’s subject matter is invigorating, and this exhibition delivers a feast of his finest works, offering up early and later works side by side, so that one can observe the arc of the artist’s thought and development. A parallel exhibit in the Triton lobby—“David Ligare: Primary Structures”—unveils works never before exhibited, revealing yet another layer of Ligare's connection to antiquity. These seemingly simple abstractions, juxtaposed with his classicist work, demonstrate the depth of his understanding of classic ideals.

metroactive FILM

CALL OF THE WILD A bit like ‘Moonrise Kingdom’—only set in New Zealand and with Michael Bay-esque chase sequences—the Sam Neill-starring ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is heartfelt and delightful.

Kiwi filmmaker Taika Waititi returns with ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

A

JOKE THAT you can tell anyone—that’s rare. So is a movie that can be recommended with pleasure to anyone, of any age. In Hunt for the Wilderpeople by Taika Waititi, lush landscapes of the rainforest of New Zealand counter a sense of humor so toast-dry that it makes the British Ealing comedies of the 1950s seem overripe.

Co-star Sam Neill is both touching and funny—Oscar-worthy, if you like—as an old, illiterate trampturned-farmer. He’s called Hec Faulkner. It’s short for Hector, and the Faulkner part fits as well, particularly per William Faulkner’s The Reivers.

This noble, never-vainglorious actor conveys the irresistible movie appeal of a solitary elder forced into the role of uncle against his will.

Young Ricky (Julian Dennison) is brought to a remote, shabby farm—a foster kid dropped off by our villainess, Paula (Rachel House), a massive, squinty-eyed social worker who calls her charge “a bad egg” for committing crimes such as spitting off a freeway overpass. Bella (Rima Te Wiata), the

lady of the house, examines plump Ricky: “You hungry? Silly question.

Look at ya.” As for her husband Hec, he barely tolerates the kid. Bella isn’t mean, just blunt—she later shows her goodhearted side, handling the boy’s desire to run away with the tact and gentleness of a born mother.

When we lose Bella—an event Waititi handles with taste and distance—the child welfare people want the boy back in custody. Hec is determined not to let Ricky return to an institution. So, he and the boy are off to the woods, and the police sound the Kiwi equivalent of an Amber Alert. Having little to go on, the news reporters vamp a bit with features titled “Inside the Mind of a Fugitive.”

Some of the newsmen produce thinkpieces. One solemn reporter says: “I am reminded of [Rambo:] First Blood ….”

And Paula sees herself as the force of justice: “No child left behind,” she intones, as if she were reciting the Mounties’ motto “We always

Raising Hec

get our man.” When she gets within shouting distance of her quarry, she warns him: “You’re playing with a bag of snakes, boy. A big bag, with a bunch of holes in it.”

The film is similar to Moonrise Kingdom, only tarter and warmer.

Waititi played a wistful, genteel vampire in his previous film We Who Live in the Shadows. The dainty creature spread newspapers on his floor before biting a victim, to soak up the bloody mess. He has a real skill for matching the morbid with the merry.

For himself, Waititi reserves the part of a pastor officiating a funeral where six backwoods mourners have gathered; he envisions heaven as a celestial snack machine with “a bounty of delicious confections.” The service wraps up with a feeble Casio keyboard rendition of “The Old Rugged Cross.”

The sense of mortality gathers like shadows, as we head toward the customary dangerous ending of a movie about fugitives.

Incidentally, a person I knew in college—who I was certain was going to succeed in business—ended up emigrating to New Zealand, in a desperate attempt to avoid the masterminds behind the “inside job” that was 9/11, and the chemtrails and so forth. I’d laugh at him, the way you can laugh at Wilderpeople’s resident crackpot, Psycho Sam (Rhys Darby), hiding from the government in a squalid trailer, way out in the bush.

Should I laugh? This old friend is now living in the single most fireproof spot on our inflammable globe. One of Waititi’s knacks is contrasting this damp, ferny world of small reactions and big skies, with fantasies of American action movies and gangsta rap. The film is amused with the ease by which such different characters as Paula, Ricky, and the TV reporters suck up these violent fictions of our far-away country.

Neill’s gift as an actor is that he’s not troubled with these legends of busted caps and dogged cops—he’s a man of few words, unflappable as a true Western hero, with an eye planted firmly on the horizon.

Live & Undead RISEN STAR San Jose emcee Kung Fu Vampire is back with a new album and a new look.

Kung Fu Vampire celebrating the release of ‘Look Alive’ at The Catalyst

BY MIKE HUGUENOR

A

HEAD OF HIS 24-date U.S.-Canada tour, Kung Fu Vampire is thinking about his hometown.

“There’s all this talent here,” the local horrorcore rapper says. “There are so many great emcees, but no one’s stepping up and saying ‘I’m gonna be that guy.’”

That guy is whoever will stay in San Jose after breaking big, in order to draw national attention to the largest city in Silicon Valley. It’s a concern many local creatives are

voicing: who can rise to the top and succeed—in music, or the arts—in this increasingly tech-centric city.

If you haven’t heard of Kung Fu Vampire, you’re probably new to the South Bay. Welcome. The San Jose rapper and producer has been releasing solo records since 2001.

Along the way, he’s landed prominent features on tracks by Bay Area legend E-40, horrorcore pioneer Brotha Lynch Hung and underground sensation Tech N9ne. He is currently touring behind his latest effort, Look Alive, and is scheduled to play The Catalyst in Santa Cruz this Saturday.

Over the past decade and a half, Kung Fu Vampire has often seemed to be on the verge of breaking

through to the mainstream— inasmuch as horrorcore rappers can be “mainstream,” that is. With 90,000 likes on Facebook, and nearly 23,000 Twitter followers, he stands head and shoulders above most other musicians in San Jose in terms of fanbase and visibility. And, as an independent artist, he’s done it all by himself, on his own terms.

Stylistically, Kung Fu Vampire is San Jose’s one real contribution to “chopper” rap, a fast spitting style that has its origins in the Midwest. And due to his lyrical content and gloomy aesthetic, his music falls loosely into the category of horrorcore—a subgenre hiphop that favors the cinematic imagery of horror movies and the macabre.

His latest single, “Fire,” features Ubiquitous from Ces Cru, as well as Locksmith—a pair of buzzed-about, up-and-coming rappers—who trade nimble verses with Kung Fu over an ominous beat of strings, swirling synth pads, choirs, and a female vocal

hook that lands somewhere between club and trip-hop.

Although he champions a style that originated in the Midwest—and despite his ties to one of the Midwest’s most notorious exports, horrorcore kingpins, the Insane Clown Posse—those familiar with Kung Fu Vampire’s work know that he is fiercely loyal to his hometown. With his new record, Look Alive, the emcee says he aims to shout his allegiance to the South Bay from the rooftops.

“A lot of what I’ve done in the past is mysterious and withdrawn,” says Kung Fu. “I’m kinda coming clean on this album.”

True to his word, the emcee seems eager to lay most of his cards on the table. He still declines to reveal the name on his birth certificate, but he is more than willing to discuss just about everything else. He talks about his family and shares details about his numerous bodily ailments.

While he used to maintain an image that might best be described as “club-goth chic”—ghoulish white face paint, red and white contacts, a shaved head and flowing cloak— Kung Fu Vampire has recently adopted a different look. In recent press photos and music videos, he sports a ball cap or beanie, wayfarer sunglasses, a T-shirt, shorts and sneakers. He is dressed similarly when we meet at a Korean barbeque joint in Japantown to chat.

“There’s always a side of me that’s been super goth, and then super cholo—super San Jose,” he says. “I was in a lowrider car club for over a decade.”

In a way, the title of Kung Fu Vampire’s latest album—Look Alive—openly draws attention to this dichotomy.

“What’s a vampire trying to do?” the emcee asks, semi-rhetorically.

“He’s trying to look alive. Look Alive is a testament to where I’m at. I do have a crazy life, a crazy upbringing and how I got to this. And I’m showing people a whole other side of the music industry and how it can be done independently. I’m gonna do it for my city.”

TYING THE KNOT San Jose doo-wop punks Get Married are getting hitched—to Wiretap Records.

Get Married Gets Signed SOME RELATIONSHIPS drag on for years, never really going anywhere, before unceremoniously sputtering out. Though it’s impossible to say exactly what the future holds for San Jose indie quartet Get Married, things are certainly looking up.

Formed just last year, the band is already taking things to the next level, inking a one-year deal with Wiretap Records. The L.A.-based label will help Get Married reissue and distribute their excellent debut EP, Four Songs.

Get Married ‘Four Songs’

Various Digital The aptly titled four-song set showcases Get Married’s Outlets potent synthesis of classic sounds plucked from the recent—and distant—past. Recorded last January at Panda Studios in Fremont, Four Songs is fueled by a nostalgia for early rock & roll and doo-wop, as well as first-wave emo and shoegaze.

Influenced by the likes of late-’80s and early-’90s acts, such Galaxie 500 and Sunny Day Real Estate, the members of Get Married are equally enthralled with the work of Elvis Presley and The Beach Boys. In fact, frontman Jaake Margo started Get Married as an Elvis cover band, before the group started writing their own songs.

LOCAL CRAFT BEERS

Merging a no-frills aesthetic with bright, catchy chord progressions and vocal arrangements, Get Married build songs that ride high on waves of fuzzy guitar tones, shoot the curl through a compendium of doowop, swing and rockabilly flourishes, and come out the other end in a glistening mist of Sun Records-style harmonies.

“Grenadine,” which follows a story of unrequited love, feels like a Grace Kelly-starring, malt-shop romance—only punctuated with revved-up guitars and snotty, punk melodies.

This summer Get Married are taking their show on the road, playing a string of dates in the Pacific Northwest before returning home to play the Art Boutiki on July 28. After that, plans are in the works for a national tour and a new EP, currently titled Into the Cosmos.

While San Jose certainly holds a special place in their hearts, looking forward, Get Married have their sights set beyond their hometown.

“We’ve been talking as a band about moving to L.A.” Margo says. “We’re all in our 20s and if we’re going to do this, then we need to be closer to the action.”

ADVICE GODDESS

11 33

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’m a woman who’s had a casual hookup thing with a guy for almost two years.

I want a serious relationship, and I really like him and would like it to be with him. When we’re together, we have a great time, but he can go a week or two without contacting me. Last week, he showed up late to my birthday, with no present and not even a card. I know I should cut him off, but the sex is great, and there’s nobody else on the horizon. Any chance he’ll finally realize I’m a catch and come around?—Hoping Any guy with an IQ exceeding the highway speed limit gets that birthdays are a big deal to most women. And if you care about birthdays and a guy cares about you, he’ll step up—at the very least by running into a drugstore, grabbing a card, and checking that the pre-printed heartfelt message inside isn’t “To my very special grandson! On his very special day!”

In a hookup situation, it actually isn’t crazy to hope for an upgrade from sexfriend to girlfriend. In a survey

by Kinsey Institute researcher Justin Garcia, 51 percent of the people who had hookups went into them hoping to kick-start a romantic relationship.

In another survey, 9.8 percent of

hookups led to committed relationships.

However, there’s a progression that takes place in going from lust to emotional attachment. It has a hormonal profile and a general timetable, and, well, two years into a sex thing, the attachment train is probably well out of the station.

In other words, it’s time to take this relationship to the next level—“the end.” On a positive note, it’s possible that removing yourself from this guy’s life will make him realize that he loves you and needs you in it—leading him to start showing boyfriend-type attentiveness. Either way, you’re setting yourself up to have a man you can count on to be there for you.

not by hiding her vulnerabilities but by putting her problems and weaknesses on parade—a la “My ladyparts have been declared an EPA cleanup zone!”

In other words, your privacy nightmare—the scrapbooking circle getting together to focus-group your medical issues—is your girlfriend’s emotional comfort zone. But this isn’t necessarily a sign that your relationship is toast. For a relationship to make it, you and your partner don’t have to be the same; you just have to have enough in common and be loving in dealing with each other’s differing weirdass needs.

If there were such a thing as psychological catnip for humans, it would probably be feeling understood.

So, tell your girlfriend that you understand it helps her to hash things out with her mom and the ladypeeps and that you think that’s great. You’re just wired differently. Explain how, and then—sweetly—make your request: You’d feel most comfortable if what happens between you stays between you.

Being compatible with somebody doesn’t mean you’re like them in all ways. I’m an extrovert, which is to say I see a dead car battery as an opportunity to learn about some tow truck driver’s childhood in Guatemala. Contrast that with my introvert boyfriend, who recently turned down an invitation he got to this really cool event, telling me, “I already said hello to somebody this week.”

Beyond individual human differences, there are some malefemale differences, like in feelings- and information-sharing. Sex differences researcher Joyce Benenson explains that men evolved to be the physical defenders of the species, and it would have put a man at a deadly disadvantage to show the enemy his emotions—like if he went all scaredypants from fear: “Oh my God, is that the enemy? I’m gonna throw up.”

Women, on the other hand, evolved to build support networks and avoid social exclusion by convincing other women they aren’t a threat. A woman does this

My girlfriend tells her mother and her friends pretty much everything.

Literally four of her friends and her mom were weighing in on her recent urinary tract infection. I just don’t get why she feels the need to let everybody know her business, and it’s the opposite of what I do. I’m very private, and I’d like us to have some things that stay between us—especially stuff that goes on in the bedroom. How would I set boundaries like this? And does this mean that we are ultimately incompatible?—Mr. Uncomfortable

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Events in the coming week may trick your mind and tweak your heart.

They might mess with your messiah complex and wreak havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries. They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up your evolution, and spin you in circles with such lyrical grace that you may become delightfully clear-headed. Will you howl and moan?

Probably, but more likely out of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might you be knocked off course?

Perhaps, but by a good influence, not a bad one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the book A Survival

Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change, the authors tell you how to raise your stress levels.

Assume that others are responsible for lowering your stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change anything about yourself. Hold on to everything in your life that’s expendable. Fear the future. Get embroiled in trivial battles. Try to win new games as you play by old rules. Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they advise. Exercise regularly. Don't drink too much caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few strong personal goals, and let go of lesser wishes. Practice forgiveness and optimism.

Talk to yourself with kindness. Got all that, Taurus?

It’s an excellent place to start as you formulate your strategy for the second half of 2016.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Normally I’m skeptical about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about a “silver bullet” that can simply and rapidly repair an entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months. While I don't believe that a sweeping transformation is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I suggest you open your mind to it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I gaze into my crystal ball and invoke a vision of your near future, I find you communing with elemental energies that are almost beyond your power to control. But I’m not worried, because I also see that the spirit of fun is keeping you safe and protected. Your playful strength is fully unfurled, ensuring that love always trumps chaos. This is a dream come true: You have a joyous confidence as you explore and experiment with the Great Unknown, trusting in your fluidic intuition to guide you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You can only go halfway into the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb. “Then you are coming out the other side.” You will soon reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m here to give you a heads up. Keep the faith! Now here’s another clue: As you have wandered through the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons that will come in handy during the phase of your journey that will begin after your birthday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My devoted contingent

of private detectives, intelligence agents, and psychic sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In recent days, they have reported that many of you Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling long-term decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed about the future, and is eager to be emancipated from shrunken possibilities. Crucial in this wonderful development has been an inclination to stop obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted by transitory concerns. Hallelujah! Keep up the good work. Think BIG! BIGGER! BIGGEST!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): After years of painstaking research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patented technique known as Mythic Gene Engineering, they are able to transplant the planets of your horoscope into different signs and astrological houses from the ones you were born with. Let's say your natal Jupiter suffers from an uncongenial aspect with your Moon. The psychic surgeons cut and splice according to your specifications, enabling you to be re-coded with the destiny you desire. Unfortunately, the cost of this pioneering technology is still prohibitive for most people. But here’s the good

By ROB BREZSNY week of July 6

news, Libra: In the coming months, you will have an unprecedented power to reconfigure your life’s path using other, less expensive, purely natural means.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In high school I was a

good athlete with a promising future as a baseball player. But my aspirations were aborted in sophomore year when the coach banished me from the team.

My haircut and wardrobe were too weird, he said.

I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time I was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball was my passion. But in retrospect I was grateful. The coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering me toward my true callings: poetry and music and astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist in your own destiny, Scorpio. What unexpected blessings came your way through a seeming adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to the next level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you remember when you came to a fork in the road of your destiny at a moment when your personal power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you couldn’t muster the potency to make the most courageous choice, but instead headed in the direction that seemed easier? Well, here’s some intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a convoluted route, to a place not too far from that original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return there and revisit the options—which are now more mature and meaningful—with greater authority. Trust your exuberance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I love writing

horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights spurs my creativity and makes me smarter. As I search for the inspiration you need next, I have to continually reinvent my approach to finding the truth. The theories I had about your destiny last month may not be applicable this month. My devotion to following your ever-shifting story keeps me enjoyably off-balance, propelling me free of habit and predictability. I’m grateful for your influence on me! Now I suggest that you compose a few thank-you notes similar to the one I’ve written here. Address them to the people in your life who move you and feed you and transform you the best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After an Illinois man’s wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a hospital room while recovering from his life-threatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he still loved his attacker, and hoped they could reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with pathetic. Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their maliciousness and abuse should be taboo.

Keep that standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius. People close to you may engage in behavior that lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but tough-minded in your response.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Can water run uphill?

Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that are comparable to water running uphill. I wouldn't be surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous blessings, Pisces.

They may be so different from what you think is possible that they could be hard to recognize.

Homework: Imagine that thanks to scientific breakthroughs and good luck, you’re alive in 2096. What's your life like?

legalization after years of failed efforts.

Pot Law Heads to Ballot

A

broadly backed initiative to legalize marijuana in the country’s most populous state will be on the November ballot. California’s Secretary of State made it official last week, certifying enough valid signatures to qualify the measure.

“Today marks a fresh start for California, as we prepare to replace the costly, harmful and ineffective system of prohibition with a safe, legal and responsible adult-use marijuana system that gets it right and completely pays for itself,” says Jason Kinney, spokesperson for the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, commonly shortened to AUMA. California joins Maine and Nevada among states that have qualified marijuana-legalization initiatives for the fall ballot. In two more states— Arizona and Massachusetts—legalization campaigns are overcoming final hurdles and are almost certain to join them. But an effort in Michigan faces an uphill battle.

Pot is already legal in four states, voted in by residents in Colorado and Washington in 2012, and Alaska and Oregon in 2014. Washington, D.C., approved possession and cultivation, but not a legal marijuana market, that same year.

Seeing more states go green in 2016 is one thing, but California is the Big Enchilada. With a population of 38 million, its market is more than twice the size of all the legal pot states combined, and it represents more than 10 percent of the entire country. What is now a legal pot industry generating hundreds of millions of dollars in sales will easily tick over into multibillion dollar territory once California joins in.

And it looks like that’s likely to happen. A Probolsky Research poll in February had support for legalization at 59.6 percent. A Public Policy Institute of California poll in May had support at 55 percent, but at 60 percent among likely voters.

Polls like these bode well for proponents, but skeptics can point to the failed Proposition 19 effort in 2010, which came up short with 47 percent of the vote after polling above 50 percent for months that year.

Since Prop. 19 failed, legalization has won in every state where it’s been on the ballot, and the national atmosphere around the issue seems to have relaxed. And unlike in 2010, this is a presidential election year with higher turnout than off-year ballots. The omens look good.—Phillip Smith Phillip Smith is editor of the AlterNet Drug Reporter and author of the Drug War Chronicle.

SPLIT PERSONALITIES A one-time exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Art will explain the divide many immigrants experience as they juggle past and present identities.

SJSU professors explore complex identities in ‘Migratory Cultures’

BY GARY SINGH

O

VER THE COURSE of 20 years teaching art at San Jose State University, Robin Lasser recognized a common theme in many of her students’ work: that of a third space between their native identity and their American identity.

In order to develop her empathy and understanding for her students, she began to envision a project that empowered people with a platform to tell their stories and contemplate their creative explorations of betweenness.

Along with SJSU Art Department professor Craig Hobbs, the two artists composed a large-scale video work, Migratory Cultures: Mapping the Distance from Me to You, an interdisciplinary transmedia story of sorts. Just after sunset on July 21, a projection will be shown on the outside of the San Jose Museum of Art. The video will feature stories from San Jose and Bay Area immigrants using audio and text, combined with other migratory species and water flows to represent a shared global commons and the universality of human movement and experience.

Visitors to the space will also get to share their stories once the main projection comes to a close.

With migrants and immigrants

dominating headlines these days, Lasser felt the time was right for such a project.

“In any one of my classes, if I have 22 students, there are probably 13 different primary languages that are spoken,” she says. “I figured that was a good place to start. One of the motivations as well— we’re in a cultural climate right now with folks like Donald Trump who are putting out a lot of negative energy around those that migrate.”

Lasser and Hobbs previously screened Migratory Cultures at the Pajaro Valley Arts Gallery in Watsonville and onto the Sunset Magazine building in Jack London Square in Oakland. For the Watsonville version, the artists screened the projection onto public handball courts behind the gallery. The resulting video was 20 to 30 feet high, enveloping two handball walls, divided by a perpendicular wall in the middle.

The dividing wall created a border between the two courts, symbolizing the split identity of migratory peoples

or the forced separation of naturally overlapping and nuanced spaces.

Immigrants and migrant workers characterize a good deal of Watsonville, so the location was perfect. When visitors entered the space and watched the dozen or so storytellers projected onto the walls, the enormity of the project simply took them over, inspiring feelings of awe and respect toward the gargantuan scale of the issue. Lasser says the location was also a prime choice because the handball courts were originally brought to Watsonville by Irish immigrants the early 20th century.

The project is generative in the sense that each time it moves to a new location, more stories are added.

Some are even left behind. The stories themselves thus become migratory.

As a result, the version the artists will project at the San Jose Museum of Art is timely and appropriate for several reasons. The museum currently shows Guillermo Galindo and Richard Misrach’s exhibit, Border Cantos, so the subject matter dovetails in perfect fashion. The opportunity also gave Lasser a chance to include a few of her students’ stories in the project, along with those of San Jose residents. With a significant portion of the city’s people hailing from another country, there was more than enough material.

“The stories being told are: What is life like for people that have emigrated globally from around the world and landing here, San Jose, Silicon Valley and beyond?” Lasser said. “What did they bring along with them, and what might they have lost along the way? What does it feel like to be an immigrant in this country at this particular time?”

As with the previous screenings, locals who show up to watch the projection will be able to jump on the microphone and tell their own stories at the end. Future locations include the Civic Center BART station in San Francisco, as well as Bangalore, India, where a new Metro system and its stations are ripe for artistic exploitation.
