The 19th-annual GIRLFLY poses the question, “Who owns the corner?” We will uplift community voices who have manifested or are working to manifest real ownership on the city’s streets. We’ ll look at models by The Women’s Building in the Mission, the APICC/KULARTS Performing Arts Space that’s South of Market, and 111 Taylor Street in the Tenderloin, as well as Space 124. Students will explore the theme through apparatus-based dance, site-specific performances, and activist afternoons led by visual artist Adrian Arias.
