Recent Past



Writing En Plein Air is a generative writing walk led by Alex Wolfe in collaboration with The Last Straw. This walk invites you to step outside and gather writing material directly from the landscape. Over the course of the afternoon, you’ll move through both cityscape and nature, using what you notice to spark new ideas or deepen pieces already in motion. Your observations will become the seeds for meditative episodes, quiet digressions, and stream-of-consciousness vignettes that explore the meeting point between the outer world and your inner life.

​The walk unfolds in three parts:

​• Time spent walking, with guided prompts to help you gather material
• A focused writing period
• Sharing and discussion

​This walk is open to anyone who wants to sharpen their awareness of their surroundings, discover approaches for sustainable writing, and connect with others through a shared practice. Come ready to look closely, pay attention, and talk about what you find.

​​​Walk Duration
3-4 miles

​Start/End Point
The Last Straw
4540 Irving St
San Francisco, CA 94122

Materials
Bring notebooks, pencils, and notebooks. Cameras, field recorders, etc. are also encouraged, but not required. Please wear comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and bring plenty of water!

Pamplemousse Magazing Pop-up Exhibition, Richard Sexton, Outer Sunset 1977–1978



May 23rd–July 7th



Richard Sexton, Outer Sunset 1977–1978, Presented by Pamplemousse Magazine

The exhibition will be on view at both Black Bird & The Last Straw May 23rd - July 7th. 

This historic work was Sexton’s first serious color photography project while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute in the late 1970s. Shot on Kodachome and Ektachrome color transparency film with a Leica M4 camera, Sexton captures one of San Francisco’s most beloved Western neighborhoods at a very unique moment in time. 

This is the first time the images have been presented publicly since a brief mini exhibition at the Ciné Cafe at the Surf Theater in 1979. This is an incredible opportunity to remember the neighborhood as it was, or experience the Sunset as you’ve never seen it before.

Richard Sexton is a New Orleans-based photographer, author and book packager whose work has been previously featured in magazines such as Abitare, Archetype, Historic Preservation, Louisiana Cultural Vistas, Photographer’s Forum and Smithsonian. In 2014 he received the Michael P. Smith Award for Documentary Photography from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. His work is included in the permanent holdings of the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Frost Art Museum, High Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum, among others.
