Fort Mason Art presents Our commons are free, a project by artist Ben Kinmont exploring the rich history and lasting influence of the San Francisco Diggers – the radical community actors who emerged within the countercultural movement of the 1960s – at Fort Mason Center For Arts & Culture (FMCAC). Exhibiting the group’s innovative street sheets and printing operations, Kinmont tracks the Diggers’ push for new societies based on “free” ideals of individualism, community care, and a rejection of consumer capitalism. The show includes a comprehensive collection of rare Digger publications, facsimiles, ephemera, and photography, plus new film, wall, and assembly projects by Kinmont.
