This roundtable discussion is centered around 11 artworks by 12 women and gender expansive artists of color. The artworks, recently acquired by the San Francisco Civic Art Collection, are now on permanent display at San Francisco International Airport. These works, located adjacent to Alison Saar’s 2021 commission, Flourish, speak to diasporic movement, rootedness, and repair, while discussing the curatorial methodologies that bring these narratives to public space
