Branching off 24th Street in the Mission are alleyways filled with colorful murals and engaging graffiti tags. Balmy Alley and Clarion Alley rotate the work of artists depicting local and international issues. The sides of buildings are covered in these depictions of culture, identity, current events, neighborhood and city history and solidarity.<\/p>\n

Among these murals are strong visuals of children fighting with soldiers, walls being destroyed and commentary on struggles related to the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n

Mission artist Luc\u00eda Ippolito conveys a more global perspective of the border crisis, showing solidarity with international struggles in her 2015 colored pencil work, \u201cBorders.\u201d Ippolito says the work is intended to connect Palestine, Mexico and Syria, as each community deals with different refugee and migrant crisis.<\/p>\n

The colors in the piece pull from the flags of Mexico, Syria and Palestine. Depictions of Mexican culture and the U.S.-Mexico border are the immediate background, behind a Palestinian woman in chains. The people portrayed are pushed forward by the changing wall that winds through the piece and turns from barbed wire with a security camera to the tall concrete of Israel\u2019s separation wall and lastly into a wooden fence that continues into the ocean, where a raft of Syrian refugees approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to connect these topics,\u201d Ippolito said. \u201cAs human beings, I feel we are going to look back on history and look how we treated the most vulnerable amongst us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ippolito\u2019s piece was recently included in \u201cLA FRONTERA: Artists respond to the U.S.-Mexico Border,\u201d an exhibition at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) that focuses on themes of global turmoil, migration and border issues. The exhibit, which opened April 25, runs until September 2019.<\/p>\n

However, shortly after the show\u2019s opening, Ippolito\u2019s work was removed without notice and she only learned of the censorship after her work was taken down. She decided to withdraw entirely from the show, feeling since her piece was removed, the goal of the exhibit to generate dialogue was sidestepped.<\/p>\n

David Green, JCC\u2019s Chief Program Officer for Roots & Culture, wrote in a statement and apology that Ippolito\u2019s work, and an additional work by artist Christo Oropeza, were removed after complaints that the works depicted violence toward children. Though the Katz Synder gallery holds regular shows, it isn\u2019t a dedicated gallery space, having work hang next to classrooms and in the walls across from an outdoor playground.<\/p>\n

After discussions, Ippolito said she was eventually asked by the curator of the exhibit, David de la Torre, for a replacement piece, specifically about the U.S.-Mexico border. This request confirmed Ippolito\u2019s belief that her work was censored due to its portrayal of Palestine, in addition to concerns showing a dead child.<\/p>\n

In lieu of a request for a replacement work, Ippolito offered to have her public statement about the censorship of her work displayed, though due to a delayed response from Green she has not provided it as of yet.<\/p>\n

Several artists, who are part of the show, have written an open letter condemning the removal of the works and have respectfully withdrawn their works in solidarity with Ippolito and Oropeza.<\/p>\n

Vandalism and Zionism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The inclusion of the works by Ippolito and Oropeza in the art show and the reasons for its removal have become a flashpoint in the rising tensions surrounding artwork featuring Palestinian activists, symbols of Palestinian liberation, solidarity with Palestine and differing definitions of Zionism.<\/p>\n

Recent vandalism of murals, weekly protests in front of a new business and more recent art highlighting Palestinian resistance and culture are indicative of national issues that have stirred tensions visibly present in the Mission District.<\/p>\n

In Clarion Alley, anonymous vandals have repeatedly defaced five murals depicting solidarity with Palestine. Since September, the murals have been vandalized 15 times after continuous repairs\u2014the most recent occurring in the first week of June, soon after repairs were made to a damaged mural on June 3.<\/p>\n

While works may be regularly tagged and occasionally painted over by different artists without permission, the recurring vandalism on the same murals is unprecedented for Clarion Alley, says Christopher Statton, co-director of the Clarion Alley Mural Project (CAMP).<\/p>\n

Clarion Alley, which connects Valencia and Mission streets, was founded by CAMP as a place for social justice, activism and community mural art. Over a hundred thousand tourists and local residents walk through annually since 1992.<\/p>\n

\u201cClarion Alley represents so many cultures and languages,\u201d said CAMP Co-Director Megan Wilson. \u201cSome works are personal to people that live in the Mission, but also there\u2019s universal stories that have international reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Gazaleh, a Palestinian-American artist, activist and educator from the Bay Area, has long painted murals in Clarion Alley and the Mission that center around Palestine, Arab culture and solidarity movements between communities.<\/p>\n

The quote, \u201cInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere\u201d by Martin Luther King Jr. is painted next to him, on May 8, 2019. Photo: Paisley Trent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

His most recent piece, which portrayed Ahed Tamimi, an 18-year-old Palestinian activist known for slapping an Israeli soldier, had been defaced multiple times before being painted over without permission by a traveling artist. Some of the spray paint vandalizing his work included a pig nose being drawn on Tamimi\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Two of the other murals vandalized were painted by the Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), in collaboration with AROC\u2019s youth group (AYO) and Art Forces for the \u201cWIll to Live\u201d mural and with visiting Indonesian artists for \u201cBangkit Palestina!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharif Zakout, lead organizer for AROC, says the murals provide representation and promote inclusion for Palestinian and Arab communities in the Bay Area, even though others like the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) and Anti-Defamation League (ADL) disagree.<\/p>\n

The artists and directors of Clarion Alley also describe the repeating vandalism as a hate crime. Statton says the continual targeting of Palestinian works intends to silence Palestinian voices and awareness about their identity, resistance and deaths by Israeli military forces. Zakout, Wilson and Gazaleh all agreed at this description of the vandalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re definitely hate crimes and attacks of our community, because we are actually speaking out and standing up for what we believe in and who we are as people,\u201d Gazaleh says. \u201cIt shows me how important our voice is.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

While these tensions right off Valencia Street have drawn attention to ideological debates, people that have lived and worked in the Mission for decades describe a longstanding history of Palestinian support in the neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely see a lot of support in the Mission [for Palestine],\u201d says Salim Nasser, the manager of Old Jerusalem on Mission Street.<\/p>\n

Another way this support is being shown is a few blocks over from Clarion Alley during weekly protests of new cafe and event space Manny\u2019s, named for owner Manny Yekutiel. Since Dec. 5, the Black and Brown Social Club, Lucy Parsons project have led a weekly demonstration against the business and called for a community boycott of Manny\u2019s.<\/p>\n

These protestors often hold Palestinian flags or signs with photographs of children and chant, \u201cManny is a gentrifier and a Zionist,\u201d defining Zionism as a racist ideology, directly linking it to the displacement of Palestinians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of minorities here,\u201d Nasser says. \u201cI mean, I feel like we all go through the same things, so people can relate and people like to help.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2007, another Mission mural led to heightened tensions between artists and the JCRC\u2014representing concerns within the Jewish community about a portrayal of Palestinian resistance and solidarity.<\/p>\n

This mural was done by local organization, Homies Organizing the Mission to Empower Youth (HOMEY) in collaboration with over 200 community members and artists. Lead artist, Eric Norberg, describes the mural as centered around how borders, walls and barriers divide communities and the power of communities in solidarity.<\/p>\n

The work on the mural was halted prior to completion after complaints were made to the San Francisco Arts Commision regarding a segment about Palestine, which Norberg says people claimed incited violence and represented the destruction of Israel.<\/p>\n

After multiple meetings with the JCRC to listen and discuss the portion of the mural generating concern, there were alterations made to the design, which Norberg says didn\u2019t change the main theme of the mural.<\/p>\n

These alterations included removing a keffiyeh from covering most of woman\u2019s face, and changing the Palestinian flag to one that now reads \u201cOUR MISSION: Self-Determination for ALL!\u201d<\/p>\n

Norberg supports the slogan on the new flag, as it shows a culmination of people\u2019s struggles and the history of the Mission District understanding global struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what the Mission\u2019s strength is,\u201d Norberg says. \u201cBeing in solidarity with other people\u2019s rights for human dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n

More recent murals throughout the Mission have explored this further through visual depictions of solidarity with Palestine.<\/p>\n

Ippolito, whose work was taken down at the JCC, finished a mural in Balmy Alley last October titled, \u201cWomen of the Resistance\u201d which centers young Palestinian Ahed Tamimi holding a key, surrounded by women involved in international movements of resistance. Above Tamimi are two more generations of Palestinian women\u2014Lara Kiswani, executive director of AROC and<\/span> Leila Khaled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s name is Amal which means hope in Arabic, as she holds the key symbolic of the right of return and an orange representing coexistence, says Gazaleh. Photo Paisley Trent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ippolito says the key represents both the \u201cright of return\u201d for Palestinian refugees, as well as connecting to broader themes of female empowerment and ownership against a capitalist society.<\/p>\n

Ippolito criticizes progressives who exclude the issue of Palestine from discussions or statements about movements for change and resistance against oppressors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re going to say we\u2019re in solidarity with all these other communities struggling,\u201d Ippolito says, \u201cthen it\u2019s hypocritical to not be in solidarity with Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the north of the Mission, Gazaleh\u2019s mural \u201cHumanity is the Key\u201d covers an apartment in Elgin Park with what he says are symbols of Palestinian resistance, culture and memory. Completed in June last year, Gazaleh hopes his work gives a voice for oppressed people to show their side of the struggle, whether Mission residents or those globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that the only way we can have a better life and justice in this world,\u201d says Gazaleh, \u201cis by thinking about the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
