THE SF CAMERAWORK 2024 MEMBER’S OPEN
Saturday, Nov 2 - Saturday, Dec 20, 2024

On November 2nd, we continued our anniversary programming with our very first (at least in recent memory) “Members’ Open,” celebrating the work of SFC’s artist membership community. A sort of collective curatorial experiment, we will begin the show with blank walls. The opening reception was replaced with a ‘hanging party’ in which members brought in one of their own works to show salon style, and the exhibition will continue to grow over its course.

This exhibition is an ongoing open call with limited display space still available at our gallery, located at 2 Marina Boulevard, Building A, San Francisico. Current members of SFC are invited to bring their work, but if you are bringing work, please make sure it is:

- framed or hard mounted
- no larger than 30” on each side
- can safely hang from a single contact point (like a wire or sawtooth hanger — no cleats or D-rings, etc).

All exhibitors can opt to sell their work on commission as well. If you have questions about your work meeting requirements or anything else, email us at info@sfcamerawork.org for complete info on participating. Come on through, we’re excited to see everyone under one roof!

all current SFC members and previous exhibiting artists are welcome to participate - email info@sfcamerawork.org to check if your membership needs a re-up!

INTERIOR LIFE

Curated by PJ Policarpio and Samantha Hiura
with special projects by Marcel Pardo Ariza
Spring 2025

“Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.” 

― James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name

In the long shadow of centuries of activism and systemic violence, we find ourselves pushed to turn inwards, towards ourselves and the interior lives of others. This inward step opens up a space of deep connection across boundaries of difference to forge communities of belonging. The artists in Interior Life construct sacred architectures of queer BIPOC interiority through the photographic medium. Their intimate focus on themselves, their subjects, and the space between them resists the inherently violent potential of the camera, and empowers them with agency over their own representation. Ultimately, Interior Life explores a sense of tender reverence and community-rooted gestures of care through a philosophical framework of subjectivity.
