Barbie is on a mission…..to kick some long needed ass!  Gather up your discarded ideologies and come to see what Barbies mission is.  Is it to save or take over the mission district (beloved 94110 / 94103)  or San Francisco, CA or the entire USA, or the World?  Is her Mission To Eat you, Prey on you or Love you?   Or all three?

The AlteredBarbie Exhibition is a creative reuse art show where people transform these icons into not-so-everyday ART reflecting our current society.   Ken and Barbie, modern day icons, permeate every corner of our culture.  Everyone recognizes and relates on some level to these icons regardless of their age, cultural or economic background, and lifestyle choices.  Making art from Barbie and Ken creates dialog and community where there is none.
