We aspire to provide a central collaborative platform for the preservation\, evolution and transmission of Japanese and Japanese American culture in the Bay Area.\nThe Cultural Districts Initiative is a formalized partnership between the City of San Francisco and legacy communities. Japantown is one of 8 Districts in the city’s new initiative. We are funded by Prop E Hotel Taxes\, and a program of the Japantown Task Force.\nThroughout last year\, the Japantown Task Force held focus groups to better understand the needs of our community and how the Cultural District can work to fill in the gaps. One element that came through loud and clear was the need for more energy and resources dedicated to the upliftment of our artists and culture bearers. As a result\, one of our current strategic priorities is to design and launch a Virtual/Physical Co-Creative Space\, where artists can connect with one another\, showcase their work\, host and attend creative workshops\, stay up to date on arts opportunities\, and more. As we begin to build out this virtual space\, we want to do so in collaboration with our artist community\, to ensure that this space is meaningful\, inspiring\, accessible\, and functional. That’s where you come in!

Make sure our community’s voices are heard! \nNow is the time to reimagine a more vibrant\, livable\, equitable future for Japantown. It is also the opportunity to address the inequities caused by Urban Renewal or the “Redevelopment\,” that have continued to impact housing and community sustainability in Japantown for decades. \nThe Housing Element is San Francisco’s housing plan for the next 8 years (2022-2030) and the first one that will center on racial and social equity. This ongoing policy effort will address the City’s housing needs in terms of adequacy\, affordability\, racial and social equity\, environmental justice\, design\, resiliency\, and livability. It will include policies and programs that express our collective vision and values for the future of housing in San Francisco. It will define our priorities for housing solutions guiding decisions and resource allocation for creating housing and providing housing services. The Plan will address the housing needs of all\, especially communities of color. \nMore Info: https://youtu.be/oydp8ov_iiM \nThe challenges around Housing in San Francisco are rooted in troubled policies that have resulted in the inequities of our society. There are five Key Ideas which the Planning Department is seeking input on. One of the Key Ideas is to: “Recognize the historic racial\, ethnic\, and social discrimination in government programs and champion equitable housing choice to reverse their consequences.” \n1. What are your concerns around housing in Japantown?\n2. How has historic inequitable policies impacted the livability of Japantown for the community?\n3. What does a more vibrant\, livable Japantown look like?\n4. What do you envision the future of housing and community space in Japantown to look like? \nThe SF Planning Department is currently in the “Vetting Key Ideas with Community\,” and “Refining Policies Together” phase of developing the updated Housing Element.\nLet’s make sure that the collective vision and values of our Japantown community is reflected in the Housing Element update so that Japantown thrives into the future!

These programs feature GLBT Historical Society executive director Terry Beswick as he interviews queer culture-makers\, including authors\, playwrights\, historians\, activists\, artists and archivists\, to learn about their work\, process\, inspirations\, hopes and dreams. \nIn this first installment\, cosponsored by the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District\, legendary San Francisco gay “radical sex” photographer Mark I. Chester will discuss his forthcoming new book of contemporary photography\, “Street Sex Photos” (2021). The book documents gay men’s sexual lives in the South of Market district of San Francisco in an era when the neighborhood was\, in Chester’s words\, “like a giant supermarket of the sexual underground.” \nSPEAKERS \nMark I. Chester (he/him/his) is a gay radical sex photographer whose fine art featuring sexual content has documented his life in San Francisco’s South of Market district since the late 1970s. His work is sexually explicit\, politically provocative\, socially conscious and artistically taboo. His work continues to break down barriers among normally exclusive genres of art including fine art studio portraiture\, social documentary work\, explicit sexual art and street photography. His book Street Sex Photos will be officially released on January 20\, 2021. \nTerry Beswick (he/him/his) has served as executive director of the GLBT Historical Society since 2016. At the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in San Francisco\, he was a founding member of the local ACT UP and was the first national coordinator of ACT NOW\, the national AIDS activist network. He advocated for HIV/AIDS research and treatment with Project Inform\, the Human Rights Campaign and the White House Office of HIV/AIDS Policy. After the advent of effective treatments for HIV\, Beswick worked as a journalist for the Bay Area Reporter and other LGBTQ community publications. More recently\, he spearheaded a successful campaign to save and renovate the Castro Country Club for the queer recovery community and cofounded the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District. He holds an MFA in playwriting from San Francisco State University. Beswick served as a Community Grand Marshal for the 50th Anniversary San Francisco LGBTQ Pride Parade and Celebration in 2020. \nABOUT THE LEATHER & LGBTQ CULTURAL DISTRICT \nThe LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District works to preserve and enhance the vitality of San Francisco’s kink and queer communities in SoMa.
