From jongleurs to 說書人 Pingshu artists, storytellers throughout history have played a critical role in elucidating key facets of the human experience, making sense of our past and navigating our present. The stories they tell reveal profound truths about our reality, the shaping of identity, and human behavior. Both personal and political, some stories have insidiously perpetuated segregation, racism and sexism, whilst others offer visions of equitable futures through imagining and building worlds anew. Stories are inherently spiritual phenomena, often perceived as having a touch of magic, with their ability to manifest substance, texture, characters, and worlds. There is the gift of space, time and knowledge in stories.
The exhibition, Walking Stories, contemplates the storied nature of human behavior and how individuals may be perceived as embodied "walking stories". Carried within the storyteller, passed down through generations are countless stories shared, given, received, and exchanged. Far from being fixed, stories are fluid in essence, constantly evolving as they are expanded on, abbreviated, and adapted per circumstance, context and audience. As such, how do we carry, gift, receive, exchange stories? What is said and intentionally left unsaid? How might we tell the untold stories of those who do not have capacity or reveal that which is not yet uncovered? In what ways do stories shape human connection, cross-generationally, personally and collectively?
Artists Alice Wu, Dohee Lee, Farhana Sobhan, Katie Quan, Lydia Nakashima Degarrod, Hana Luna Her, Manon Wada, Mia Nakano, Miko Lee, Related Tactics, Trần Châu Hà and Tsim Nuj Vang explore these questions in their multimedia practice and collaborative exhibition, Walking Stories. Ranging from interactive installations, video, performance, photography, zines to conceptual potluck, the artists interrogate prevailing stories and their ramifications and prioritize stories that cultivate interconnectedness, empathy and invested involvement in the world around us. As individual and collective ‘walking stories’, every story we create, creates us. After all, we are shaped by our shaping of the world, which is perpetually shaped again in turn.

Golden Gate Park

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Fisherman's Wharf

Best Things to Do

泰迪小熊

Came on September 24, 2017. San Francisco is close to the sea, and the Fisherman&#39;s Wharf here is famous and has historically been one of the most lively places in San Francisco. Today, it still retains traditional functions such as seafood market and pier, and adds leisure and entertainment formats such as dining, amusement, shopping and other forms of entertainment to meet the needs of tourists to eat, drink and play. The iconic signage of Fisherman&#39;s Wharf is near Pier 45, and the most lively place is Pier 39.

Lombard Street

Came on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and definitely one of the must-see attractions to visit San Francisco. Jiuqu Flower Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section is a steep slope, but it is designed to be eight hairpin bends, and the road is full of flowers. If you need to shoot the effect of Jiuqu, you must stand at the low position of Leavenworth Street. Chinese people can drive by themselves in the western United States where San Francisco is located. If you will drive in San Francisco, you may wish to experience the feeling of driving through Jiuquhua Street.

Golden Gate Bridge

Historic buildings

Night view

Came on September 24, 2017. The Golden Gate Bridge is a landmark of San Francisco and a well-known attraction in the United States. As long as you come to San Francisco, you have to come to the Golden Gate Bridge to punch in. Now China has more majestic bridges than the Golden Gate Bridge, so in fact, take a photo of tourists &quot;to this tour&quot; near the Golden Gate Bridge. The best photo spot should be the Torpedo Wharf area on the southeast side of the bridge, and try to go as early as possible, otherwise when the sunset is slanting, the photos are all backlit.

Time:	Jun 29, 2024–Feb 28, 2025 (UTC-8)
Location:	Edge on the Square Sing Chong Building 601 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94108
