Campus Activities Day, 1975 – Balloon Performance in the Quad

About This Item

Two students perform with elongated balloons during a campus activities event in the Quad in 1975. Barefoot on the grass, they twist and inflate balloon sculptures into looping, abstract shapes while onlookers and passersby move through the background. A small collection of personal items and instruments rests nearby, suggesting a spontaneous, creative demonstration as part of a larger student fair or outdoor gathering. The image captures the playful, experimental spirit of mid-1970s student life at San Francisco State.
