150 - 178 Valencia St. and Central Freeway - Map the Moment

The documentation of this site was part of the Map the Moment project, intending to capture spontaneous and temporary changes to the public streetscape. This data was collected by Brian Tolle, Susanna Douglas, and Joseph McGovern and was processed by Pavel Matou????ek. The team used a Fujifilm X-Pro 1 to scan this site. Many businesses had been forced to temporarily close because of the CoViD-19 pandemic, and covered their windows with plywood. These plywood panels became canvases for artists, as well as protesters in the Black Lives Matter Movement. We documented the location of the business 'Stuff' on the day they reopened; they closed again a few weeks later. The plywood murals' subtle messages of peace and introspection had been overlaid with anti-police writing. The store is on a short block, which we captured for context.
