SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The San Francisco Arts Commission and Port of San Francisco celebrated a new art installation on Tuesday along the Embarcadero.

Crews set up a nine-foot bronze sculpture between the Ferry Building and Pier 1 earlier this week.

San Francisco's new installation shows a young Black woman in jogging clothes, meant to challenge the thought of who gets to be memorialized in bronze.



The San Francisco Arts Commission and the Port of San Francisco say the statue is called "As Sounds Turn to Noise."
