Fort Point, a historic fort located beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, hosts the exhibition 'Black Gold: Stories Untold.' Curated by Cheryl Haines, the exhibition features 17 contemporary artists who reflect on the experiences of African Americans in California from the Gold Rush to Reconstruction. Haines emphasizes the importance of reactivating the fort and presenting compelling narratives of struggle and triumph. One notable piece, 'Black Magic' by Adam Davis, focuses on the contributions of Black individuals throughout Californian history, particularly during and after the Gold Rush.
"I wanted to reactivate the fort," founder, executive director, and chief curator of For-Site, Cheryl Haines explained, discussing how the exhibition highlights African American history.
Housed in the former living quarters for soldiers, 'Black Magic' by Adam Davis is an interactive delight that explores the rich Black stories in Californian history.
