pacificAfuture
As one drives a car over the hill and catches the first glimpse of the golden and blue crescent of Pacifica, there a sigh that comes as easily as a breath - California. This quintessential coastal landscape is marked by six miles of sheer cliffs, rolling hills, a small canyon, San Pedro Creek, and one very wide beach, Pacifica State Beach, also known as Linda Mar beach. There are other distinct areas, beginning with the “Esplanade” homes high above the ocean on the edge of the cliffs (where both single-family homes and apartment buildings have been lost in the recent past). Another areais the “Rockaway,” once a limestone quarry and currently the site of a popular seaside restauraunt protected by large boulders with a narrow strip of beach. A little farther south is the widest beach, which was once a wetland and is now home to one of Taco Bell’s twelve on-beach locations worldwide. (Recently the wetland has been brought back in some small areas. as environmentally conscious Pacificans are recognizing the importance of mitigating the sea with natural process.)
In 2019 Alicia Escott and Kim Anno were selected for a project stewarded by Cindy Abbott of the Sanchez Art Center to conduct a town dialogue in Pacifica, California called See Change. Together with Modesto Covarrubias and Heidi Quante who, alongside Escott, is Co-founder and Co-director of The Bureau of Linguistical Reality, the 4 artists joined together to create: PacificAfuture. This is an original book by Kim Anno documenting their collective work with the community of Pacifica from 2019- 2021.
