For the 20th Street Block Party on August 20, Southern Exposure presents a gathering of The Society for the Advancement of Bureaus and Offices, a global network of associations that seek out the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and counsel of publics and passers-by everywhere.

During the event, groups such as Art for a Democratic Society, The Bureau of Linguistical Reality, and The Association of Combative Landscapes will offer activities and solicit the feedback of the citizenry on subjects such as public space and urban planning, the social nature of language, and finding balance in conflictual situations. Make your voice heard!

Art for a Democratic Society will be performing our project UTOPS (Utopian Transformation of Public Spaces): San Francisco. Join us and participate!
