Join Headlands for a special opportunity to board the Maritime Museum’s historic ship The Balclutha to witness the filming of Bay Area Fellow Torreya Cummings’ Barbary Coast Keelhaul.
The “Barbary Coast” referred to an area of early San Francisco notorious for saloons, brothels, and general lawlessness. In 1863, San Francisco passed a law reminiscent of anti-drag, anti-LGBTQ legislation widespread today, criminalizing persons wearing “a dress not belonging to his or her sex” in public. In this work-part live performance, part video production-Cummings questions a history of prejudice within a well-known progressive safe haven.
Presented by Headlands Center for the Arts
