SF Camerawork is proud to present FORECAST 2024, SF Camerawork’s annual survey exhibition. Each year SF Camerawork invites an esteemed jury of artists, curators and critics to select and showcase the work of emerging imagemakers, with an eye toward current movements, trends and concerns in contemporary photography. This year, Bay Area art community leaders Maggie Dethloff and Rea Lynn de Guzman have selected the work of Takming Chuang, Lynse Cooper (Jurors’ Prize Awardee), Tiago Da Cruz, Jesse Egner, Nina Tanujaya, and Vanessa Woods from over 160 entries from around the world. FORECAST 2024 will be on view July 16 through September 7, 2024. SF Camerawork will host an opening reception on Friday, July 19, from 6-8 pm at our gallery in the historic Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture, overlooking the Golden Gate.
FORECAST 2024’s jury and SF Camerawork’s staff invite the public to join us in celebrating the thoughtfulness of this cohort’s thematic explorations, which include compassionate musings on family and motherhood (Tanujaya and Woods); innovative, personal narrations of remembrance and impermanence (Cooper and Chuang); and diverse approaches to identity and portraiture that range from intensely conceptual to bizarre and whimsical (Da Cruz, Egner).
FORECAST awardees receive $500 cash prizes and the Juror’s Choice prize for outstanding achievement is $1,500. An additional six artists were selected for the Honorable Mention list, whose work will be viewable online concurrent with the gallery exhibit, and presented digitally in the gallery space.
