Every Thursday at 5pm during Portraits and Other Likenesses from SFMOMA, join us for Community Voices: A Public Dialogue, when a creative thinker from the Bay Area cultural community will reflect on the exhibition’s themes of identity, representation, space and diaspora and how these themes inspire their own practice. The talks take place in the galleries for a maximum of 30 minutes.

A native San Franciscan, Kristine Mays has developed a way of expressing the human form through wire. She breathes life into rigid steel wire, capturing a gesture or movement within a sculpted garment, offering a glimpse of the soul and spirit of a person. She often shares the narrative of the female spirit, examining the complexities of womanhood.

The 3.9 Art Collective is an association of African American artists, curators, and art writers who live in San Francisco, and came together to draw attention to the city’s dwindling population of black residents. The Collective bears witness to this phenomenon and seeks to reverse it by drawing attention to the historical and ongoing presence of black artists in the city and creative expression in its black communities.
