We the People

February 10 – April 21, 2024
Gallery 1 Exterior

di Rosa inaugurates a new video projection series with Jock McDonald’s We the People. The installation, displayed on the center’s exterior nightly between dusk – midnight, features stirring black-and-white portraits of San Franciscans morphing and blending into one another in a timely illustration of our connection and shared humanity.

The project, born from the isolation of pandemic quarantine, “sets out to reveal our connectedness,” McDonald explains. Taking on new meaning at the dawn of an election year, the project embodies values of pluralism, diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

“Humans inhabiting this planet with so many others often forget all the things we have in common and share with each other,” the artist explains. “The installation challenges our tribal ‘us and them’ mentality, illuminating our commonality and community on this magnificent, round, spinning blue globe.”
