Event
Bohemians, Beats, and Beyond
San Francisco has a long, distinguished history as home to pioneers of new ideas and forms of expression. From the city's early Gold Rush days to the present, its artists, activists, and writers challenged the mainstream, and often went on to frame the key issues and styles that defined an entire generation and shaped the national social and political agenda.
Led by cultural geographer E. Vasile, this tour explores the local roots of those creative and contrarian forces, through the streets, alleys, parks, and key cultural sites of North Beach, Jackson Square, and bits of Telegraph Hill. These neighborhoods were home, studio and inspiration to a succession of artists, from the Bohemians of the late 19th C, to the activist literati of the 1930s and the Beats of the post-WWII era.
