Hell in the Armory Presents “Inferno” (San Francisco)

December 8, 2015 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

Hell-in-the-Armory-San-Francisco-Small“We’re teaming up with the twisted minds who brought you Blackout to create a grotesque and twisted journey through Hell. Designed specifically for the San Francisco Armory.

“Based on the famous ‘Dante’s Inferno’, this immersive horror experience will be a wild and savage mindf*** unlike anything seen before. Violence, sexuality, and hardcore horrors are all awaiting visitors as they are forced to confront their sins and traverse through the Hell of Dante’s journey.” —Hell in the Armory website

In 2006, artists Susan Cervantes and Ellen Silva collaborated on a series of Dante-themed murals for the walls of Dante Hall, at Saint Mary’s College of California.

“The powerful imagery of Dante’s Divine Comedy is leaping off the page and onto the walls of Dante Hall, where artists are transforming the drab first-floor corridor with colorful murals of Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso.

“Shawny Anderson, associate dean of the School of Liberal Arts, proposed the project in 2005 for a class which never came to be, but the idea resonated with the school’s leaders.

“‘I always thought that the halls of the College should ‘sing’ of the authors they honor,’ Anderson says.” –Debra Holtz, “Visualizing Dante,” St. Mary’s College of California News
