Brown Girl Surf is part of the California Academy of Sciences’ new Skin Exhibit!!! This exhibit explores the incredible nature of skin across an array of animals, including humans, as well as the science behind its diversity. It also dissects how artificial, racialized concepts and meanings arose regarding skin, and are reinforced in the United States. Brown Girl Surf is featured at the end of the exhibit as an organization that is working to advance racial equity and justice in the Bay Area. The Cal Academy is a renowned scientific and educational institution in San Francisco, and hosts 1.5 million visitors a year! The exhibit will run through Jan. 2020 and we are thrilled to be part of it!
