Please check the "Events" section of the facebook page for details on this year's event. SuperHero 2016 is set for Saturday, September 24. The SuperHero Street Fair was created to recognize individuals and organizations throughout San Francisco and the Bayview Community for their outstanding contribution to the arts and/or community action. San Francisco is home to many visual artists, music performers and community activists. These people call the Mission/Bayview and the Bay Area home, either working or living here. We wish to provide a platform to showcase the achievements of these people and enjoy a day of celebration and community ... through art and theme related exhibits, live theater and poetry, live bands and electronic music, delicious local food trucks, and an awards ceremony recognizing specific individuals and organizations for their contribution. Ceremonies also include the Mayoral proclamation of "SuperHero Day" in San Francisco. A portion of the proceeds benefit local organizations for their outstanding achievement. We wish to provide support to their projects. Each year's recipients are listed on our website: www.superherosf.com. We urge you to support them as well, as we think they are doing fantastic work. The core staff and friends of SuperHero clean up the location and surrounding areas of the event annually, with the assistance of the PUC and DPW (who have been extremely helpful and supportive), and it has become much nicer over the past few years. The organizers are from this neighborhood, have lived here for over 15 years, and are happy to affect positive change! The area is improving with the assistance of the city, private and public organizations, and individuals like you. We hope you can come by and enjoy the festivities. Get your costume on and let's go to infinity and beyond ...

Survivors International was founded in 1990 by a clinician who felt compelled by a deep sense of betrayal by his own profession when he read a medical article about doctors' and psychologists' roles in designing and carrying out torture in many parts of the world. Survivors International grew out of this need to serve the population of refugees and immigrants who had survived torture and/or war trauma in their home countries. While the torturer's aim is to destroy the victim by inflicting excruciating physical pain and terrifying mental abuse, the goal of Survivors International is precisely the opposite: to strengthen and rebuild a sense of self and trust in humanity.

BAVC has been a trusted community educator, collaborator, incubator, community builder and resource for the media arts world since 1976. BAVC began when a group of media makers and activists met in January of 1976 to devise practical ways to encourage independent video-making in the Bay Area. With a small grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to conduct a needs assessment and feasibility study of the region’s media-making community, that small group spent the summer collecting information about what the region’s environment looked like for independent videomakers. Among that study’s conclusions was a recommendation for “a regional video resource center with multi-faceted programs that concentrate on improving all aspects of video production and exhibition…” That video resource center came into existence when BAVC was incorporated on December 10, 1976. As new technologies have been introduced over the past four decades, BAVC has responded with dynamic programs and new training strategies, while remaining committed to our mission of serving independent media makers.
