Dogpatch Community Court

July 2023 

My role: project lead, initiated the renovation and mural concept, organized stakeholders, managed art design and creation

In conjunction with an exhibition I curated at ICA SF, Patrick Martinez: Ghost Land, I spearheaded the renovation and mural by Martinez on a local basketball court - the first major public art project for the ICA SF.

About the project: Artist Patrick Martinez is dedicated to honoring and uplifting Black and Brown youth in California. His paintings reference vintage Pee-Chee folders, transforming the popular school supplies into protests against violence, displacement, and racial injustice. Martinez created this mural in the style of his Pee-Chee series to celebrate graduates from Alive & Free’s violence prevention and leadership programs.

This project is presented by The Warriors Community Foundation, ICA SF, and Alive & Free. The basketball court is located 400 ft south of the museum between 923 and 947 Minnesota street.
