of what made has made outside lands success over the years. so and that begins with the mayor's office. the rec and park department. police and fire department. mta, public health and other city service. we could trurl not do it without the city's cooperation. >> events like outside lands bring people together in the community. and would noted be possible without the city team. i want to thank your neighbors in the sunset and the richmond districts. we know that we are in your neighborhood. and we enjoy a good and close relationship with you all and many of the things that we have done to mitigate the impact of outside lands has been done with those neighborhoods and supervisors. >> in a mobile home you will

what it does for the economy we anticipate 71 million dollars in our local economy in san francisco. that benefits artists, benefits public safety, it benefits our small businesses especially here directly with some of our local restaurants. it does so much and over the existence 15 year existence of outside lands, rec and park department are beautiful park system has been fortunate enough to generate 31 million dollars. that is extraordinary. but it does not stop there. outside lands understands the personals of also giving back to the community. and so over a million dollars begin to organizations and the sunset and richmond. to our transgender district and other thing this is we hold dear in our city. so, they put on a great show. they have great performers, yes. it is a good time and keeps the smile on your face and this year you don't have to mask up or have to provide proof of vaccine

[applause]. thank you mayor breed you are integral and could not do it without you and thank you for letting us take over the city for a weekend. >> um00 eye want to give a few upon things on the festival. that is important to know. one is that we are expecting

over 220,000 people to come to the park this weekend. and it is looking to be a very big weekend for outside lands. we sold out of 3 day tickets. we have single day tickets available. they are going quickly. this year's lineup is probably the most diverse and dynamic we had in the history of the festival. a lot of the artists most on the bill never played before beginning with green day, cho are home town heros. we have been trying to get them for many years and finally the stars arc lined and have them this year and they are very excited for their set. >> we have post malone the biggest artists in the world and he never played here before and the third, citizena, last played in 2015 and on that stage she was the first act of that day. >> and now she is closing the first night of the festival.

we are excited for them and the rest of the artists and i have a birdef who told me the mayor excited for jack harm over. that is the truth. >> the mayor mentioned that we have over 100 local know restaurants here. the number of menu items later is -- extraordinary. hundreds of different menu items and diversity amongst the food here is second to none. >> and -- also -- should note our sustain ability here is we have an 86% diversion rate that means that all of the refuse from the festival 86% is diverted and recycled or compost. now we will open up for questions. just as a reminder following you will have an opportunity to

combru myself and our team and partners individually. we may refer the questions to them and i will take a quick moment to introduce them. first we have greg ceo of another planet and lands producer. copruzer of outside landses. sarah director of policy at sf rec and park. tonya kohler, the genius food callerator of a taste of the bay in outside landses and brian du cat with another planet can discuss the vipiral initiatives and coproducer as well. >> let's get to your questions. >> okay.

[inaudible]iel. ychls we have a bag policy tell be on the website. we ask to you bring a clear bag to bring essentials to the festival there are mall clutch bags that are allowed in the festival don't need to be clear if you are coming bring a back pack bring clear bags whey this policy for years and that is important you your bag will be turned away if you don't bring a clear bag. >> yes. we can have -- -- yep. thank you for the question. i'm the deputy chief assigned field of operations.

district stations in san francisco. as mentioned, this morning this is a partnership and the planning process public safety planning process started months ago with captain the commanding officer of richmond station. we will have police officers all 3 days for in events on the interior and exterior of the events. we are working with private partners can our state other local officials the rec and park and federal officials. >> [inaudible] [cannot hear question]. >> the best advice is not to come with anything valuable outside behalf is necessary and the mayor said, i would strongly encourage everyone to take public transportation or a lyft

service and bring the valuables with you if you must bring a vehicle don't leave anything valuable. it is our addage of park smart if you mean leave something in your car remember not to once you parked take the valuables from your car and put them in the trunk. you want to do that ahead of time. okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. and reminder that we encourage torn take alternateively transportation. we have private shuttles from the bill graham civic to and from the festival those on the website it is a successful program. we have 10 upon thousand people a day that take that service. muni is operating. tnc's to and from the festival and have a good number who walk and ride bikes and skate boarding. every means necessary.

we encourage alternative means of transportation. we have lookers on site if you come in that lookers are able to be rentsd and put valuable in there safely. [inaudible] i think this you know what we know in san francisco is that -- we have a tremendous team of public health professional this is provide advice. we consulted with them on eventses and parades and other activities. advice is that look, it is out there. we are living with it. but it does in the money we can't come together. and when we are seeing even

though we are seeing cases of covid we are not seeing as many people hospitalized or losing their lives like we did in the beginning of the pandemic they believe it is appropriate to have the events. as far as monkeypox you know left week we district attorney claired a state of emergency. we have requested from the federal government numerous times resources including vaccines. we anticipate that we will get hopefully, soon, 10,000 more vaccines. the governor declared a state of emergency after we did in san francisco and appear that today the federal government is going to be declaring a state of emergency. my hope is that will open the door to address the issue. but again we want people to understand that covid and monkeypox are still issues that are out there. and the d. public health at this

time does not believe this events like this should not continue as a result. thank you. >> thank you. thank you for your questions that's all the time we have. we want to be respectful of the mir a time. madam mayor, thank you, again for joining us. you will have the chance to introduce our team down on the polo field for the next 20 minutes. immediately following the individual interviews youer wang to tour the site. now our team will take to you the main stage. we got different stations sets up with our team and we have greg ceo of another planet. we have rick with super notice. sarah with sf rec and park. tonya our food curateo. brian with another plan and he myself with another planet. thanks, again.

[♪♪♪] >> i really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our world, you shouldn't just be something in museums, and i love that the people can just go there and it is there for everyone. [♪♪♪] >> i would say i am a multidimensional artist. i came out of painting, but have also really enjoyed tactile properties of artwork and tile work. i always have an interest in public art. i really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our

world. you shouldn't just be something in museums. i love that people can just go there, and it is there for everyone. public art is art with a job to do. it is a place where the architecture meets the public. where the artist takes the meaning of the site, and gives a voice to its. we commission culture, murals, mosaics, black pieces, cut to mental, different types of material. it is not just downtown, or the big sculptures you see, we are in the neighborhood. those are some of the most beloved kinds of projects that really give our libraries and recreation centers a sense of uniqueness, and being specific to that neighborhood. colette test on a number of those projects for its. one of my favorites is the oceanview library, as well as several parks, and the steps.

>> mosaics are created with tile that is either broken or cut in some way, and rearranged to make a pattern. you need to use a tool, nippers, as they are called, to actually shape the tiles of it so you can get them to fit incorrectly. i glued them to mash, and then they are taken, now usually installed by someone who is not to me, and they put cement on the wall, and they pick up the mash with the tiles attached to it, and they stick it to the wall, and then they groped it afterwards. [♪♪♪]

>> we had never really seen artwork done on a stairway of the kinds that we were thinking of because our idea was very just barely pictorial, and to have a picture broken up like that, we were not sure if it would visually work. so we just took paper that size and drew what our idea was, and cut it into strips, and took it down there and taped it to the steps, and stepped back and looked around, and walked up and down and figured out how it would really work visually. [♪♪♪] >> my theme was chinese heights because i find them very beautiful. and also because mosaic is such a heavy, dens, static medium, and i always like to try and incorporate movement into its, and i work with the theme of water a lot, with wind, with clouds, just because i like

movements and lightness, so i liked the contrast of making kites out of very heavy, hard material. so one side is a dragon kite, and then there are several different kites in the sky with the clouds, and a little girl below flying it. [♪♪♪] >> there are pieces that are particularly meaningful to me. during the time that we were working on it, my son was a disaffected, unhappy high school student. there was a day where i was on the way to take them to school, and he was looking glum, as usual, and so halfway to school,

i turned around and said, how about if i tell the school you are sick and you come make tiles with us, so there is a tile that he made to. it is a little bird. the relationship with a work of art is something that develops over time, and if you have memories connected with a place from when you are a child, and you come back and you see it again with the eyes of an adult, it is a different thing, and is just part of what makes the city an exciting place. [♪♪♪]

♪♪ >> san francisco! ♪♪ >> this is an exhibition across departments highlighting different artworks from our collection. gender is an important part of the dialogue. in many ways, this exhibition is contemporary. all of this artwork is from the 9th century and spans all the

way to the 21st century. the exhibition is organized into seven different groupings or themes such as activities, symbolism, transformation and others. it's not by culture or time period, but different affinities between the artwork. activities, for example, looks at the role of gender and how certain activities are placed as feminine or masculine. we have a print by uharo that looks at different activities that derisionly performed by men. it's looking at the theme of music. we have three women playing traditional japanese instruments that would otherwise be played by men at that time. we have pairings so that is looking within the context of gender in relationships.

also with how people are questioning the whole idea of pairing in the first place. we have three from three different cultures, tibet, china and japan. this is sell vanity stot relevar has been fluid in different time periods in cultures. sometimes being female in china but often male and evoking features associated with gender binaries and sometimes in between. it's a lovely way of tying all the themes together in this collection. gender and sexuality, speaking from my culture specifically, is something at that hasn't been recently widely discussed. this exhibition shows that it's gender and sexuality are

actually have been considered and complicated by dialogue through the work of artists and thinking specifically, a sculpture we have of the hindu deities because it's half pee male and half male. it turns into a different theme in a way and is a beautiful representation of how gender hasn't been seen as one thing or a binary. we see that it isn't a modest concept. in a way, i feel we have a lot of historical references and touch points throughout all the ages and in asian cultures. i believe san francisco has close to 40% asian. it's a huge representation here in the bay area. it's important that we awk abouk about this and open up the

discussion around gender. what we've learned from organizing this exhibition at the museum is that gender has been something that has come up in all of these cultures through all the time periods as something that is important and relevant. especially here in the san francisco bay area we feel that it's relevant to the conversations that people are having today. we hope that people can carry that outside of the museum into their daily lives.
