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.

Nina Fabunmi's expressive paintings use representation and abstraction to explore the themes of the African Diaspora. With special reference to her portraits she infuses symbolism and mark making as an expression of ethnicity and the tribes from which we all originally belonged to.

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.
