The New Eagle Creek Saloon

"Oakland-based artist Sadie Barnette mines her family archive to reawaken personal and collective histories across generations. The New Eagle Creek Saloon (2019) is an interactive installation and performance series that reimagines San Francisco’s first Black-owned gay bar, which the artist’s father, Rodney Barnette, operated from 1990 to 1993. Originally located at 1884 Market Street, The New Eagle Creek Saloon served as a safe gathering space for the multiracial queer community that was otherwise marginalized by the racist profiling practices of San Francisco’s queer bar scene at that time, as embodied in its slogan: “A friendly place, with a funky bass, for every race.” Here, Barnette honors the legacy of a bar that supported activist groups, celebrated Black heroes, and participated in vigils for those lost in the AIDS epidemic."
