SUMMARY:Companions of Minds and Books: H.H. and Matilda Bancroft in Their Literary Industries
DESCRIPTION:Kim Bancroft will discuss the legacy of her great-great-grandparents\, H.H. Bancroft\, historian of the West and founder of The Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley\, and his second wife\, Matilda Bancroft\, a writer and historian in her own right. \nAfter marrying H.H. in 1859\, Emily wrote voluminous letters from San Francisco to her family in Buffalo in the 1860s. Seven years after Emily died in 1869\, H.H. married Matilda\, who composed volumes of diaries and letters from 1876-1910\, along with oral histories. \nKim Bancroft’s book “Writing Themselves into History: Emily and Matilda Bancroft in Journals and Letters” highlights piquant details from these women’s writing\, noting political and cultural changes during those years\, as well as race\, class\, and gender differences underlying Emily and Matilda’s social observations. These women also captured the private life of a man who would become a very public figure through his writing and library. \nIn particular\, Matilda relished her ability to participate in her husband’s book-making efforts. With him\, she traveled to collect documents and stories regarding those who had settled the West and its multitudes of commerce\, cultures\, and government. Matilda learned how to edit her husband’s writing. Her work also found its way into his books\, with both her own writings and the oral histories she took. \nIn her presentation\, Kim Bancroft will focus on this remarkable couple’s companionship of shared ideals and ambitions in telling the story of the West\, though from very different perspectives\, one a public man\, the other a private woman. How these two writers of different natures contributed to literary life in California and beyond—with plentiful challenges and controversies—makes for an engaging story. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Kim Bancroft\, author and editor

SUMMARY:My biography is the history of California: Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo and his Recuerdos
DESCRIPTION:Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (1807–90) grew up in Spanish California\, became a leading military and political figure in Mexican California\, and participated in some of the founding events of U.S. California\, such as the Monterey Constitutional Convention and the first legislature. Like many Mexican Californios he lost most of his land to squatter occupation and expensive legal proceedings during the first few decades of American rule. \nA generation after the U.S. conquest of California\, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo set out to write the story of the land he knew so well. He aimed to dispel the romantic vision that was beginning to dominate the interpretation of the state’s history before the American conquest. Vallejo sought to correct misrepresentations of California’s past\, which dismissed as insignificant the pre–gold rush Spanish and Mexican periods\, and conflated them into one “Mission era.” He sought to convince the new rulers of the land in which he had been born that the Mexican people had laid the foundation for the California in which they were now all living. \nTo this end he spent more than a year and a half composing a five-volume history\, which he titled Recuerdos. It is the most complete account of California before the gold rush written by someone who resided in California at the time. \nRose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz have translated Vallejo’s Recuerdos and have brought to light a remarkable perspective\, often firsthand\, on important events in early California history. Their efforts restore a critical chapter to the story of California and the American West. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Rose Marie Beebe\, professor emerita of Spanish literature at Santa Clara University and Robert M. Senkewicz\, professor emeritus of History at Santa Clara University

SUMMARY:Salon Series 42: Trust Your Struggle
DESCRIPTION:with Robert Liu-Trujillo\, Nisha Sethi\nRob Liu-Trujillo and Nisha Sethi of Oakland-based collective Trust Your Struggle speak on graffiti and its influence on their art practices.\n  \nTrust Your Struggle is an multi-generational Oakland-based collective of artists\, educators\, and cultural workers who are dedicated to mobilising their communities on social justice\, environmental sustainability\, and community organising through public art. We are thrilled to be joined by both Nisha Sethi and Rob Liu-Trujillo who are active members of this collective\, as they speak on their relationship to graffiti\, and its impact on them as working artists in the Bay Area.  \n\nLike all Archive Salon Series events\, a recording of this presentation and panel will be available to members. \n\nRobert Liu-Trujillo is father\, husband\, artist and an author based in Oakland California. He’s the author and illustrator of Fresh Juice and has illustrated several other picture books. Reach out at www.robdontstop.com \n  \nNisha Kaur Sethi is an artist/activist born and raised in Berkeley\, California. As a woman of color who is deeply invested in uplifting her community\, Nisha’s work serves as seeds for the resistance in which bright\, bold lettering and images dance their way into the streets where they echo the chants and songs of the people. Early on\, Nisha developed a passion for typography and was deeply influenced by childhood trips to her motherland India where she was exposed to the fascinating world of hand-painted film posters. Back home in the Bay Area\, Nisha was brought up in the graffiti scene\, gravitating towards street art with powerful messages. \nNisha’s art serves as a call to action while constantly being informed by iconic political art and movements from the 1960’s. Her hand-painted posters have been carried by thousands of protestors at the Women’s March\, March for Our Lives\, UTLA Teacher’s Strike\, and Global Climate Strike. She is also a printmaker and clothing designer for her brand\, Kalakari\, where her work is manifested into wearable art. \nwww.nishaksethi.com \nwww.kalakaricrew.com \n@nisha.k.sethi

SUMMARY:Expand Your Typographic Potential on the Web
DESCRIPTION:with Marie Otsuka\nDuring this hands-on workshop using foundational web languages\, we will explore typographic expression on the web.\n  \nThis four-week workshop (running Thursday evenings from September 7 —28) is intended for designers new to typography in the browser and will cover how to control typography on the web. From standard typesetting to experimental techniques\, we will learn various ways to work with digital type — ranging from loading a webfont to animating variable fonts. We will approach the browser as a creative medium by developing a single-serve website that demonstrates intentional typography\, in both design and functionality. Instruction will cover ways to control visual composition and basic interactivity on the web\, using HTML & CSS. Participants will need no prior knowledge of these languages for this workshop but should be prepared to dive into coding. \n  \nMarie Otsuka is a designer and programmer working on fonts\, websites\, tools\, and books. She currently draws typefaces and develops type-oriented tools at Occupant Fonts\, while working with a range of organizations and artists as an independent web developer and graphic designer. Marie has taught various web/type-related courses at Rhode Island School of Design\, California College of the Arts\, Parsons The New School\, and the School of Visual Arts.

SUMMARY:Roadworks 2023: Steamroller Printing Festival
DESCRIPTION:About the Festival:\nThe San Francisco Center for the Book’s annual Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival is an all-day public printmaking and book arts extravaganza that includes free hands-on printmaking and book arts activities\, demonstrations\, vendors\, open house\, and more. \nAbout Steamroller Printing:\nWith roots going back hundreds of years\, relief printing — a process where a protruding surface is inked and brought into contact with paper – is one of the oldest methods of printing illustrations in books. \nEach year at the Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival we celebrate this facet of book arts history in the biggest\, most spectacular way we can think of: by printing linocuts using a 7-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller  — provided by our friends Roots of Motive Power(link is external) — and the road surface of Rhode Island Street as an enormous makeshift printing press! A team of featured artists\, printers and steamroller operators create large-scale Classic print and smaller-scale Personal prints (details below) during the Festival. \nClassic Prints and Personal Prints are literally “print-on-demand”; they are available only during the daylong event and are limited edition. Each print purchased during SFCB’s Roadworks event helps raise funds that directly benefit San Francisco Center for the Book\, our workshops\, exhibitions\, and our free public events (like Roadworks!) \nThe Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival has become a popular tradition in the Do.Re.Mi (Dogpatch-Potrero-Hill-Mission) Arts District of San Francisco\, attracting printmaking\, artist book\, printing\, and general art enthusiasts of all ages.
