stARTup Art Fair
Black & White Projects is excited to be a non-profit partner at Startup Art Fair. Over the April 18-20, 2025 weekend, Startup returns to the fun and funky Hotel Del Sol, the iconic 1950s motor lodge in the beautiful Marina District adjacent to the Bay, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The fair runs concurrently with the prestigious San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason—which is within walking distance of the del Sol.
Presented in Room 316, and centered on the theme of “the body domestic,” BWP will feature works by Afatasi, Beatrice L. Thomas aka Black Benatar, Dorian Katz aka Poppers the Pony, Evelyn Leder, Midori, Susan R. Kirshenbaum, and Tossie Long and the Red Clay Sound Haus Collective.
Godzilla vs The Golden Peril
Midori, BRYAN + VITA HEWITT
Godzilla vs. The Golden Peril is a collaborative performance event that explores the divide-and-conquer nature of racism in a comedic, self-documenting, audience-participatory format. Godzilla fights The Golden Peril, who is always the model minority (until she’s not). Godzilla possesses fearsome size, unbeatable tale moves and the endangered status of being the only example of her type of Kaiju. The Golden Peril packs a powerful punch, impressive shine and Chinese Mom skills beyond compare. The Media is always watching as The Ring Announcer goads the battle into new heights of frenzy and concern over lactose intolerance. Midori wears the inflatable suit as the inimitable Godzilla. Vita Mei Hewitt is The Golden Peril, a character based on the Yellow Peril Asian stereotype (but better) and Bryan Hewitt is The Media.
