“Few working-class neighborhoods remain in san francisco. The tenderloin is home to some of san francisco's highest populations of low- and moderate- income people, lgbtqia+ individuals, and racial/ethnic minorities - more than 30% of the area's residents are foreign-born and the majority are non-white. Tlm brings the stories of these residents and their predecessors to life through exhibitions, performance, and events. Through our dynamic programming, we exalt communities that have long been put down and marginalized; benefit the lgbtqia+ and racially/ethnically diverse communities; and create discourse on themes surrounding urban studies, gentrification, marginalization, and lgbtqia+ history. We engage and partner directly with the communities of the tenderloin in planning, producing, and presenting these programs. In this way, we have earned the trust of our neighbors in representing their history and stories with the care and respect they deserve. We take it as a great honor to serve as an amplifier for the trials, tribulations, titillations, and truths of the tenderloin to san francisco and beyond. By providing a permanent and welcoming space for programs to occur we are a reliable and accessible destination for locals and visitors to discover the beauty of this neighborhood. Destigmatizing the tenderloin and its vibrant community is tlm's top priority. Our work ensures that tourists and residents learn about the deeper cultures and histories of the neighborhood and continue to be inspired to co-create lasting vibrancy in this neighborhood.”
