FALL SHOW: October 12, 2024
through December 7th!
Guest Artist:
Ron Calime
A native of California, Bay Area resident Ron Calime is an artist, musician, and engineer who uses photography as a way to visualize narratives that often revolve around the usage of language and temporality. As a student of horology โ the science of time and art of watchmaking โ Ron is often immersed in the expressive nature of technology to translate the human perception of time. In this series of photographs, he focuses on the main theme of the show โ Radical Hope.
One Big Theme:
Radical Hope
In partnership with First Exposures โ https://www.firstexposures.org โ a nationally recognized youth photography and mentoring program in the Bay Area, we explored what radical hope looks like through the eyes of young people entering adulthood and adults in mid-life.
