Shepard Fairey's ‘Fractured' marks first major S.F. show in nearly 20 years — and it demands your attention
You know him from the 2008 Barack Obama 'Hope' poster, but Shepard Fairey has a lot more to say. 'Shepard Fairey: Fractured,' the American artist's first major San Francisco show since 2008, showcases 115 politically charged works at Harman Projects gallery at Minnesota Street Project. The collection features portraits of both well-known and anonymous figures juxtaposed with text and imagery in Fairey's signature restricted color palette. Nearly all the work is silkscreen, sometimes with mixed media, on paper, wood or aluminum. 'I've been looking for an opportunity to do something in San Francisco for a while,' Fairey told the Chronicle. 'San Francisco is my kind of town.' Though Fairey never lived in the Bay Area, 'Fractured' is in a way a homecoming. Between 1996 and 1999, while in his 20s, Fairey estimates he visited the region at least once a month for the 'really incredible' street art and graffiti scene. Meanwhile, street art was sparking interest in another corner of the country. In western Massachusetts, Harman was following the growing movement, documenting his finds and sending photographs of his discoveries to the Wooster Collective, a website that documented street art. When he moved to Oakland in 2006, he said he kept up the practice of 'going out with local artists in the middle of the night while they wheat-pasted.' Harman loved Fairey's art so much, he purchased a set of four screen prints the artist made in 2008 in collaboration with Blek Le Rat for $1,200 — despite earning about $10 an hour at the Lake Merrit Whole Foods in Oakland. He remembers it took six months to pay off the credit card. 'When I say I was a fan, I really mean it,' said Harman, now owner of Harman Projects and Hashimoto Gallery, both of which have locations in San Francisco and New York. 'The fact that we're here 17 years later,' he mused. 'It's really an honor.' Harman's admiration for Fairey's work only deepened when he attended the artist's 2008 exhibition, titled 'Duality of Humanity,' at White Walls Gallery in San Francisco. The show focused on what Fairey called 'reverse propaganda,' infused with what he then saw as Obama's optimism and political ideals. 'At the time, I didn't have much going on creatively and I thought it was interesting that an artist I admired was doing this for a presidential nominee,' Harman, now 42, recalled. Harman began blogging and eventually became the expert on Obama street art. For the 2009 presidential inauguration, too broke to afford a hotel room, Harman wound up sleeping on the floor of a Washington, D.C. gallery for five days. (He jokes it was a 'crash course' in gallery management.) 'Seeing my favorite artists coalesce around this candidate really very much turned me into a political person,' Harman said, referring to Fairey and other like minded artists including Date Farmers, Ron English, Emek and Ray Noland. Harman and Fairey are hoping to inspire others in the same way in 2025. In order to rouse people off their couches, Fairey strives to make his message as direct as possible. One standout piece, 'Fractured Harmony,' depicts a woman looking through a torn mandala against an oil derrick, accompanied by words highlighting how oil giants are shielded from legal liability. Fairey describes it as a 'chaotic collage' that reflects the ripped social fabric of our moment. He particularly enjoys the duality of the mandala, which could be seen as either an aspirational harmony or as an 'easy conspiracy theory that ties things up in a package.' The mandala's promise of harmony rings hollow against the reality of the destructive oil derrick. Fairy hopes people ask questions instead of accepting 'conveniently simple' explanations, which he views as harmful to democracy. 'One of the reasons democracy doesn't work as well as it should is because there is so much apathy,' said Fairey, 55. 'You can't necessarily react to or solve every problem in the moment. … But when it matters, am I going to speak out and am I going to vote?' The exhibition also includes portraits of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, legendary pro boxer Muhammed Ali and Andy Warhol, a leading figure in the Pop Art movement beginning in the early '60s. Their images lined in rows on the wall form a phalanx of social justice camaraderie. The work shown at Harman Projects comes at a range of price points to make sure the art is broadly accessible for purchase. A signed and dated poster in a standard 24-by-36 size for affordable framing costs $30 –– cheaper than a trendy water bottle. Fairey and Harman, while showing in galleries, haven't abandoned the streets. Fairey noted Harman helped him find a wall, near the gallery along Indiana Street, for a new mural even though Harman will not benefit financially. He completed it in June. 'If public space is really meant for the good of the public,' said Fairey, 'then it shouldn't just be ads and commercial signage that we're looking at.' Perhaps a visitor to Harmon Projects' will be moved to political or artistic action. 'I, of course, would never suggest that somebody should ever do anything illegal such as making a piece of street art without permission,' said Harman. 'But I certainly hope — wink wink — that this exhibition inspires artists both indoors and outdoors.'

America's nonstop birthday party
Starting with America's 250th birthday celebration, President Trump is planning a years-long mega-celebration that puts him at the center of the world's biggest events. Why it matters: Trump's vision for the semiquincentennial goes beyond purely American fare to showcase the country's military, economic and cultural power on a global stage. His expansive vision for a nonstop American celebration includes the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, The Atlantic recently reported. Trump is floating additional programming like a "Great American State Fair," "Patriot Games" and a "Freedom Plane" inspired by the Bicentennial-era " Freedom Train." In keeping with his love of spectacle, a New Year's Eve-style ball drop in Times Square has been discussed. Driving the news: Trump's speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Thursday night served as the formal kickoff to the celebrations and an opportunity to brag about congressional Republicans passing his "one big, beautiful bill." The president soft-launched 250 this year with a rare military parade to honor the Army in D.C., which coincided with nationwide "No Kings" and anti-ICE protests. More military branches' birthdays will be recognized this fall, with celebrations planned for the Marines and Navy. Trump said last night his 250th anniversary plans include a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. Zoom in: Some of the planned activities for America 250 are more squarely around American pride, like a student-focused America's Field Trip. Trump wants his proposed sculpture park, dubbed the National Garden of American Heroes, to be ready by July 2026. The plans feature life-size statues of figures like Ronald Reagan, Whitney Houston and Jackie Robinson — "all approved by Trump," as the Wall Street Journal reported. "We're going to have a big, big celebration, as you know — 250 years," Trump said at Arlington Cemetery in late May. "In some ways, I'm glad I missed that second term because I wouldn't be your president for that. Can you imagine? I missed that four years. And now look what I have." Reality check: The turbocharged celebrations come as Americans report record-low levels of patriotic pride. State of play: Preparations for America's 250th birthday have been underway since roughly 2016 under former President Obama, though they've taken a more MAGA bent since January. There are two main organizers at the national level: the White House's Task Force 250, which Trump chairs and established via an executive order in his first week in office, and the congressional America250 Commission, which was established in 2016, meant to be nonpartisan and is backed by a nonprofit. Ex-Fox News producer Ariel Abergel, who interned in Trump's first White House and finished college in 2021, is now America250's executive director. Other Trump allies like fundraiser Meredith O'Rourke and Trump adviser Chris LaCivita serve roles in the foundation supporting the America250 commission's work. Outside of the federal planning effort, expect state-level programming across the country.

What to know about Beyoncé's Buffalo Soldiers T-shirt and their complicated role in history
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter wore a Buffalo Soldiers T-shirt during her Juneteenth performance in Paris, sparking online debate over the group's complicated legacy in U.S. history. During her international stint, Beyoncé donned a shirt with images of the Buffalo Soldiers — African American soldiers who served in the U.S. Army after the Civil War, primarily on the Western frontier. As part of their service, they built infrastructure, fought in the Indian Wars, and later served in conflicts like the Spanish-American War and World War I and World War II. They also participated in violent U.S. military campaigns against Indigenous peoples during westward expansion and land dispossession. On the back of her shirt there was a long description of the soldiers that read in part, 'their antagonists were the enemies of peace, order and settlement: warring Indians, bandits, cattle thieves, murderous gunmen, bootleggers, trespassers, and Mexican revolutionaries.' It's unclear where the passage originated. Some folks quickly criticized Beyoncé's wardrobe choice, specifically making note of the the phrase "enemies of peace" in relation to Indigenous people. One fan wrote, "Beyoncé wearing a Buffalo Soldiers shirt, an American army unit comprised exclusively of African Americans that helped European and White American colonists fight back Native Americans and seize control of their land, is not the serve she thinks it is." Another questioned, "Girl why I wake up and see Beyoncé calling Native Americans defending their home 'enemies of peace?'" Meanwhile, one fan offered another perspective on X, "Beyoncé wearing a Buffalo Soldiers T-shirt isn't glorifying genocide. It's a nod to a deeply complex and painful part of Black history — one that involves survival, contradiction and power structures that never had our best interest in mind." "Yes, these soldiers were involved in U.S. expansion and conflicts with Native nations," the fan wrote. "That's historical fact. But we have to zoom out: These Black men were used as tools in a white supremacist system they didn't control." These regiments were primarily composed of formerly enslaved Black men. They were deployed to support the U.S. government, which often meant using violence to seize land, resulting in the forced removal and destruction of Indigenous nations across the American West and the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite their role in the military, these soldiers faced intense racism and systemic discrimination within the very army they served. Riché Richardson, professor and chair in the Africana Studies and Research Center at Cornell University, said it's important to acknowledge both the realities and complexities when it comes to viewing this history. "American history is very charged, to be sure," she said. "It's about understanding the long-standing contributions that people of African descent have made to the military, and it's not been a perfect union. I think the challenge has always been to help create a more perfect union, and people of African descent have, in some cases, been complicit with policies that are detrimental to other populations. So I think it's important for there to be an acknowledgment of that." Richardson viewed the Buffalo Soldiers shirt in the context of Beyoncé's background. "I find her as a product of what I analyze as the Africana Southwest, as a Texas native," Richardson said. "So, given the themes associated with this most recent album and the concert tour, I presume that she's embracing the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers in tandem with that." The Buffalo Soldiers' complicated legacy doesn't solely consist of their contributions to the United States' westward expansion. According to the U.S. Department of Interior, the soldiers also served as some of the country's first park rangers. "These dedicated men protected wildlife from poachers, built trails and forged a proud legacy in our nation's history," the department wrote on social media. Richardson said the criticism of Beyoncé's shirt was valid and important, but she advised folks not to immediately jump to conclusions about the singer's messaging. "My inclination is not to think the worst of Beyoncé precisely because of her investments and critical thinking and her efforts to bring public attention to so many issues," she said. Richardson emphasized the importance of viewing Beyoncé's actions within the broader context of her career and activism. "I think she's gone out of her way in so many instances to try to impact lives and make a difference," Richardson said. "She's consistently compassionate. I think people should not draw conclusions, especially without adequate information. She's a performer. There's performance art. There are all kinds of things. At the very least, it's a teaching moment from which everyone can learn." She said it's important to remember that a single image doesn't always reflect a full endorsement or clear message. "I think it's always important for us to have awareness of the messages that we send, but I wouldn't necessarily just assume that wearing a shirt is an indicator of an endorsement of any particular ideas," Richardson said. "Because that certainly isn't in keeping with what we see and know of Beyoncé." Beyoncé is in the middle of her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour, which is in support of her album "Cowboy Carter." The project, which features emerging Black country artists and country legends alike, became a catalyst for the renewed spotlight on Black country artists and the genre's Black roots. The album has challenged music industry norms and sparked important conversations pertaining to the intersection of race and country music. The tour spans nine cities across the U.S. and Europe. The grand finale is set to take place in Las Vegas on July 26. Follow Caché McClay, the USA TODAY Network's Beyoncé Knowles-Carter reporter, on Instagram, TikTok and X as @cachemcclay.
