Project Overview
Project Background
Over the next three years, SFAC will implement its newest project, Shaping Legacy: San Francisco’s Monuments & Memorials, an initiative encompassing a racial equity audit of publicly accessible works in the Civic Art Collection, community engagement, and several community-led artist activations in public spaces.
Given the history of systematic racism, oppression and generations of harm experienced by the communities we seek to engage in this process, we are prioritizing the care and cultural competency of our staff and consultants who will be leading and stewarding the work.
Per our learnings from the Monuments & Memorials Advisory Committee (MMAC) Final Report and recommendations, we are seeking a consultant to provide training relevant for a trauma-informed approach to 20-30 program staff and/or artist advisors and community partners, specifically those working directly with members of the public in meetings, events and community engagements.
Consultant Scope
- Facilitate a suite of Trauma Informed Systems (TIS) workshop/training sessions for up to 30 people.
- Trainings may include TIS 101, Trauma-informed facilitation, and post-training reflection sessions.
- Provide curriculum, resource lists, toolkits and materials for all sessions.
- Provide flexible and hybrid offerings for virtual or in-person sessions.
Project Description
About Shaping Legacy: San Francisco Monuments & Memorials
Shaping Legacy: San Francisco’s Monuments & Memorials is a community-centered and equity-focused project aimed at rectifying San Francisco’s long history of maintaining public commemorative works that are exclusionary and cause negative impacts on communities. This project will engage communities that have historically been excluded from discussions regarding the evaluation of works art and the process of commissioning new works. It will conscientiously facilitate the creation of contemporary, dynamic, and healing art in the San Francisco landscape. A team of multidisciplinary artist leaders and local facilitators will conduct broad reaching community conversations that will guide two project components: (1) a racial equity audit of publicly accessible commemorative works in San Francisco’s Civic Art Collection and (2) a vigorous community engagement and multidisciplinary opportunities for artistic activations in public spaces.
