A planned move to the Yerba Buena neighborhood to join the city’s other major cultural institutions has been in the works since 1993. In the mid-’90s, the museum was rocked by major staff turnover, accusations of misspent grant funds and lackluster fundraising for the planned move. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in 2017, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13654906/mexican-museum-defends-collection-over-authenticity-concerns\">report commissioned by the museum board\u003c/a> found that only 83 of 2,000 artifacts from the museum’s pre-Hispanic collection could be authenticated. But those 80-some objects, the museum argued in a subsequent press release, are “significant and rare — one piece in the collection being so unique that nothing like it exists in Mexico.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since leaving Fort Mason in 2018, the collection has been in storage.

In October of that same year, however, she was tasked with drawing a superhero for the month-long artist exercise known as Inktober. Nelson chose Baldwin, and instead of drawing one image per day, or 31 total, as the challenge called for, she drew 91.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From this body of work, she started sharing the art with high schoolers who also participated in Inktober — and soon realized that schools weren’t teaching Baldwin to their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13953326']“When you have a prophet like James Baldwin, who said things that are relevant to this moment that we now live in,” says Nelson, pointing to issues of book bans, low literacy rates and living conditions in our cities, “we need to bring back some of these prophets so we can pay attention to what they said… that’s the story of the sketchbooks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For six years, the sketchbooks sat in a drawer in Nelson’s studio.
