Book on the Many Faces of Treasure Island User Submitted

When: Wed., Oct. 4, 7-8:30 p.m. 2017
Price: Free
In their new book Urban Reinventions, editors Lynn Horiuchi and Tanu Sankalia demonstrate how a single site - SF's Treasure Island - may be interpreted in multiple ways: as a world’s fair site, military installation, a semi-derelict relic of past lives, a toxic site of nuclear waste, and a future eco-city and major real estate development. The volume offers a wide spectrum of critiques of race, imperialism, gendered Orientalism, military land use, property capital, new-eco cities, sustainability, and waste as a byproduct of development.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
