WORKSHOPS
IN THE GALLERY
Spaces & Faces: A Portrait of the Bay Area is a group exhibition that brings together five photographers, each with their own unique style, perspective, and connection to the places and people of the Bay. From San Francisco, to Oakland to San Jose, the images portray a dynamic glimpse into our lives and communities. With a mix of street photography, landscapes and portraits (all shot on film!), the exhibition aims to immerse viewers into the experience of what it’s like to live in the Bay Area. Featuring work by Joanna Malpica, Angela Marlaud, Bejan Siavoshy, Marcus Valderrama, Demondre Ward.
Curated by Nora Lalle (Founder) and Camilia Gutiérrez Cordova (Associate Editor) of Pamplemousse Magazine, the exhibition pulls inspiration from one of the concepts explored in THE BALANCE ISSUE: a portrait of a neighborhood (spaces) in contrast with self portraits (faces). Pamplemousse is an independent print publication committed to highlighting the work of up-and-coming and established photographers. This exhibition is an opportunity to expand the project’s mission, and move beyond the pages onto the walls, with a group of talented photographers from the local community.
