The Mission Statement is an ongoing street photography project that documents the vibrant cultural life of San Francisco’s Mission District — a neighborhood rooted in Latin American heritage, communal traditions, and artistic expression.
Even as the neighborhood continues to change — shaped by waves of gentrification — its cultural heart remains. This project celebrates the spirit of the Mission as it lives on in shared spaces, rituals, and the visual language of identity and belonging. The Mission Statement builds a living archive of a community that continues to define itself with resilience, warmth, and pride.
