As part of the ongoing exhibition The Day That Never Came / El Día Que, artist and organizer Joy Schendledecker presents Common Ground, No Ground, a performative lecture that blends video, song, text, and a zine to explore what enclosure means under conditions of displacement.
The Riverlands of San Lorenzo Park, also known as the Benchlands is a place marked by cycles of erasure and return, carries layered histories: first violently cleared of their original caretakers—the Awaswas-speaking Uypi people, ancestors of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band—then reshaped through missions, ranches, and urban development. In recent decades, the Benchlands became a place where unhoused residents built shelter, relationships, and fragile stability, only to be repeatedly cleared, most recently in 2022, when the encampment was destroyed by police and heavy machinery.
