Join us for a conversation marking the opening of Rose B. Simpson’s newly commissioned monumental work, Behold. Conceived for its site overlooking the Yerba Buena neighborhood, Behold reflects on Indigenous presence, the erasure of community histories, and the ongoing work of relearning tenderness in contemporary life. The work invites viewers to wonder, witness, and reconnect, while honoring relationships as the foundation of a more humane narrative. Simpson will join Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, language activist, and educator Natalie Diaz for an in-depth discussion of these themes, exploring the multifold ways relationships can be made and reframed as well as exploring the way their work parallels and diverges.
