Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, FaTasiLima will produce the 3rd annual 2024 Futurism Fashion show, a free Black History Month event that will highlight the creativity and innovation of the Black community of San Francisco; the city’s only shrinking demographic. Funds from this grant will ensure the continuity of existing creative collaborations with local artists, as well as create new partnerships with local organizations dedicated to community uplift.

Organization Summary

FaTasiLima cultivates arts-focused experiences which advocate and preserve the history, legacy, and culture of Black generational San Franciscans; the city’s only shrinking demographic. We accomplish this with art exhibitions and immersive fashion shows which foster partnerships with local artists and community based organizations. Our panel discussions facilitate critical thinking, education and engagement aiming to spark community involvement. The artists of our organization collaborate to create fine artworks which have graced the walls of community centers, art galleries, museums, and non-profit organizations, and even in the private homes of our community members across San Francisco. As a cultural practice, FaTasiLima is involved in researching and documenting ancestral lineage, stories, and experiences and using various artistic mediums to convey and interpret that information as a form of resistance and cultural preservation.
