This news came to me late. I don't know how I missed it!

SFMOMA is suing CCSF?! That certainly fits into a blog on the CCSF and SF connection, and I'm sorry that in this case it's a connection that has disconnected!
I got word of this on October 14 (I'm a bit behind on posting!) and asked two mural-centered friends about it. One said "CCSF was asleep at the wheel. The college thinks it can care for the mural with platitudes. SFMOMA gave the mural the sweetest deal it’s ever had (600,000 have seen it) and when the College unilaterally canceled the PAEC in Nov. 2020, {that} created a situation, which has come home to roost."
The PAEC is still on the horizon, but not in time to house the mural when it comes back to the campus, and SFMOMA no longer wants to keep it on display and wants CCSF to use money to move it back to our campus, where it will go into storage.
I have a lot of good memories of the mural! Some are here in this video, but a lot has changed since this video was made before the mural was moved from CCSF to SFMOMA.
