Park Social

TreeLine is a one day community engagement art event and temporary art installation among the trees within John P. Baca park in Linda Vista. This project is intended to foster a sense of play, connection, and awareness of place through the formal and metaphorical qualities of line within this neighborhood park. A one day event, held on July 16, 2022, will include inclusive activities that connect participants through three different series of line explorations and engagements. These activities area a free-parts play activity, community weaving reflection activity, and dance activity that will reflect and honor the resident populations based on conversation with community partners.

Participants will be asked to bring a piece of fabric to the event which will be woven and/or quilted together and incorporated into a final installation. After being on display for two months, this piece will be removed and donated to an interested organization or organizations within the community so that the physical component of the art may live with the community after Park Social has concluded.

"Park Social is a citywide initiative introducing social-specific public art into San Diego's vast and varied park system. Held for six months in 2022, Park Social engages with a broad and constantly shifting audience of park goers, intervening and interacting in the social spheres of public parks and exploring topics ranging from environmental justice to belonging and social cohesion through responsive artistic projects".
