In the autumn of 2022, UC Berkeley brought backhoes, chainsaws, and earthmovers to People’s Park, intending to clear the vegetation and last unhoused people from its land and make way for a new dormitory. Protesters shut the operation down, as they first did in 1968, and the park has been in political, legal, and physical limbo ever since. I made these photographs and words to document what may be the last days of this important site of social experimentation, and to make clear why we need it.
