We Are No Different

A Golden Gate Mixtape – Curated by Leo Bersamina

Leo Bersamina, John Bucklin, Jessica Dunne, Terry Hoff, Lawrence Lebianca

I moved to San Francisco in the late eighties and have lived here ever since, with a brief year-long sojourn that solidified my love of our beloved Golden Gate.

One of the reasons I love it here so much is the people. I see every person as a different song, poem, or story. Everyone has opinions, everyone disagrees, but somehow, we live in a bubble of natural beauty that grounds us, brings us joy, and connects us.

In these modern times, when everything is available and nothing is hidden, we are exposed to everything we want and don’t want. We are more connected yet also more isolated.

These artists are very different, each with their own practices, expressions, and experiences, but all connected by fifty miles of Northern California Coastline. Some in this show are true natives, and some are our adopted kin, our Ghana, because they have shown their love and respect for these lands. Some have left at times and come back home to us, because in the end, we all leave our hearts here. The golden gate ethos connects them, befriends them, is there for them, and it doesn’t drive them apart. They are no different.
