Today, I’m joined by mixed-media artist Mildred Howard to discuss how her inspiration for public art is shaped by consideration of the community and the history of the location. If you’re familiar with the Bay Area, you’ve probably seen some of Mildred’s work and not even realized it. She describes the story behind one of her recent installations called Frame in Hunter’s Point, as well as three major pieces that she’s currently working on. Transcript

Topics Covered:

●     Mildred’s early introduction to dance and arts and crafts

●     How Mildred works with the community to design a public art installation

●     Challenges that arise when creating art for a public space

●     Factors that Mildred takes into consideration during the design process

●     A brief history and explanation behind the three projects she’s currently working on

●     Reflections on the housing crisis in San Francisco
