Production Details

Having outgrown the SFIAF office space on Sutter Street, The Last Supper Party concludes its second season with a move to the Mission district as a part of the organization’s flagship Festival program. To celebrate this unlikely feat of success and longevity, series curator, Alameda Poet Laureate Kimi Sugioka, brings together an all-star cast of local artists and wordsmiths to mark the occasion. Included in the still evolving line-up are: Darius Simpson, devorah major, Tongo Eisen-Martin, Mimi Tempestt and Ayodele Nzinga. As always, there will be an open microphone to follow the published program.

The Last Supper Party is a spoken word and performance series inspired by Fe Bongolan’s landmark painting of the same name; a 200 sq. ft. canvas exhibited at the Festival's Sutter Street office. The series presents the voices of diverse artists and writers who call out the myriad injustices and impacts of corruption, unchecked power and greed. SFIAF invites audiences to share ideas and bread and find inspiration in the thoughts and words of artists whose perspectives are drawn from a kaleidoscope of cultures. But who are united by compassion and a common desire to seek justice, equity and truth.
