WHAT IS REDLINING?
Redlining is the systematic practice of denying people (usually low-income/BIPOC) financial and other services based on where they live. In the 1930s, the federal government carved the Bay Area into imaginary lines drawn down streets dividing neighborhoods, families, and residents.
WHAT IS REDLINE REDEFINED?
Our multiyear project, Redline Redefined, explores the history of redlining through the lens of Bay Area artists. It encourages its audience to take a second look at who is included and excluded from conversations about development in the modern-day.
We believe the most effective way for audiences to understand urban restructuring is by listening to neighborhoods through the senses including sound and sight. This is neither a symphony nor a history tour – it’s unique artworks that will prompt audiences to consider the foundation on which the Bay Area is built.
Virtually explore the Bay Area through our interactive map, or take your web-enabled device with you for a physical tour.
