HIDDEN HISTORIES was an exhibition/public project of HYPER.SEA where artists and the public gathered for one month to explore narratives of San Francisco’s Eastern landscape that have been obscured by time, development, familiarity, and social norms.
At the exhibition, participating artists (Yuko Ezoe, Amber Hasselbring, Francisco Hernandez, Patrick Piazza, and The Counter Narrative Society) considered concepts of geography, space, tours and tourism, and the way that places hide and reveal their own histories.
Also, the Crucible Steel Gallery served as the Hidden Histories Headquarters and Visitors Center. With visual projects displaying artifacts, maps, and narrative installations the gallery became a point of departure for artist-led and self-guided tours that took place in neighborhoods, parks, and secret locations all over San Francisco’s Eastern edge.
