See “Ricardo Alvarado: Capturing a Cultural Legacy” on display, pre-security, in Terminal 3 and online at: https://bit.ly/3VDJLvm
The Smithsonian first displayed an exhibition of Alvarado’s photography, “Through My Father’s Eyes,” in 2002. Since then, Janet has curated exhibitions throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Stanford University Libraries now permanently holds the collection of Alvarado’s work, and Janet continues to work tirelessly to share her father’s legacy.
Janet Alvarado, the daughter of Ricardo Ocreto Alvarado (1914–76), discovered a tremendous archive of nearly 3,000 negatives and photographs in her parents’ garage after her father’s death in 1976. Astonished that her father had never discussed his photography with her, she realized the important treasure she had uncovered. In 1998, Janet established The Alvarado Project to ensure the preservation of her father’s unique cultural record of Filipino American life in CA.

“She was tough, you had to be,” former California Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, who was also a contemporary of Milk at the time, recalled. “But she was also lovely, she has a great heart. She did a lot symbolically because women were not involved. We all thought we were liberals, but there was under-representation of women. And she held herself with the boys.”

Harvey Milk recruited political activist Anne Kronenberg (b. 1954) to run his campaign for supervisor in 1977. After their historic victory, Kronenberg served as a legislative aide to Milk during his all-too-brief tenure, playing a critical role in garnering support for the passage of San Francisco’s Gay Rights Ordinance. Continuing with a lifelong career in public service, in December 2010, Kronenberg became Executive Director of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.

See “Ocean Voices II” by Ursula von Rydingsvard, located post-security in Terminal 3 and online at http://bit.ly/2Tnja4z
"Ocean Voices II” is an epic wood sculpture. Ursula von Rydingsvard has created sculptures out of cedar wood for the past 35 years. Her longstanding use of wood is linked to memories of the makeshift structures that her Ukrainian-Polish family inhabited while moving from one displaced-persons camp to the next across postwar Germany.
