罗恩·莫特里·桑德斯

A photographer who works without a camera, 罗恩·莫特里·桑德斯 is a founder of the 3.9艺术集体.

Blending his landscape architecture with his advocacy for the community, Saunders believes cultural creators are the heartbeat of any urban center.

The African American community has been a formative influence in shaping the culture of San Francisco since the Gold Rush. Legendary black jazz artists like Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and Billie Holiday come to mind for their parts in creating the soundscapes of the 菲尔莫 and the Tenderloin. Cultural institutions like the San Francisco African American Historical and Cultural Society, 非裔美国人艺术 & 文化复杂, the 海景区的 Opera House and the Museum of the African Diaspora continue to play a significant role, as do many churches that were key to the Civil Rights movement in the ‘60s. African American culture is still deeply embedded in the cultural tapestry of San Francisco.

然而, the city’s black population is diminishing, 以至于在2010年, a local paper estimated that the black population would eventually fall to 3.占全市总量的9%. This statistic caught the eye of 海景区的 artist 罗恩·莫特里·桑德斯 and a group of his fellow artists. Ron teamed up with Nancy Cato, Rodney Ewing, Sirron Norris, and William Rhodes to form the 3.9艺术集体. Their very existence is an act of resistance against the forces causing the African American population to dwindle.

贝博体彩app的居民海景区的 since 1985, Ron originally grew up in Jamaica, Queens. 他的艺术感受力, blended with his deep personal connection to nature, guided him toward the profession of landscape architecture. 在后来的岁月里, 他会去贝博体彩app, a place as diverse in the landscape as it is in culture. Landscape architecture requires one to work in concert with nature to design outcomes that serve the inhabitants of specific spaces. Ron’s work as a photographer and artist, in many ways, is in service of nature. 他对臣民的关怀, whether discarded flower petals or a seed that has not sprouted, 是由尊严和爱引导的吗. The outcomes he produces through the creative use of light allow nature to be seen anew. 通过他的工作, the natural world’s intricacies and elegance become more accessible to the human mind and heart.

我喜欢这里的地形和, 这是一个小地方, 只有49平方英里, and you can walk the whole city in a day, from one side to the other very easily.

今天, Ron teaches art to the city's youth in hopes that the younger generation will work to preserve the artistic community as the city changes. The soul of the city depends on the strength of its culture. 罗恩知道这一点. His mission, and the mission of his fellow 3.9 artists, is to make sure the city never loses sight of what’s essential and what’s beautiful.
