Tricia Rainwater
The Tellings We Keep
October 1 — November 29, 2025

As our Fall Resident, we are proud to share mixed-media artist Tricia Rainwater's solo exhibition, The Tellings We Keep, with the SF Camerawork community!

Tracing what endures, what has been mourned, what hasn’t, and shining light on what might fall through the cracks, The Tellings We Keep unravels the complexities of separation – of being pulled from family and community by wounds older than one’s own birth. This body of work moves as prayer and song. It carries the stories others might dismiss, inviting viewers to linger in their ache, to witness what resists forgetting.

A STRANGE VIBRATION: LENN KELLER, DARCY PADILLA, ELIZABETH SUNFLOWER
Jan 22 — April 30, 2025

A Strange Vibration brings to light work by three photojournalists documenting Bay Area women and queer lives at the margins from the 1970s through the 1990s.

Lenn Keller was a self-taught photographer who documented the Queer Liberation Movement through the eyes of a radical black lesbian, and her work now forms the core of the Bay Area Lesbian Archives, housed in Oakland. Darcy Padilla’s work follows life in the Tenderloin’s Ambassador Hotel in the 1990s, where people with AIDS and HIV took care of one another during the peak of the AIDS crisis in the United States. Elizabeth Sunflower’s archive has recently been rediscovered; with a focus on her Naked Seduction series, tracking the antics and activism of sex workers in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood. Works from each photographer will contextualize their relationships with the communities they documented from outside and within.

Presented in collaboration with the Bay Area Lesbian Archives, Ricki Blakesberg & Retro Photo Archive
