How to Fly is a site-specific photomural by visual artist Sadie Barnette installed in CAAM’s atrium. Barnette incorporates photographs she has taken of locations across California with pictures from her family archives. Barnette has described herself as a “keeper of the past,” someone whose role it is to tend to the historical archive.
