Welcome to Fall 2018 Semester at City College of San Francisco’s Photography Department! Gallery Obscura is pleased to present the exhibition of works by Spring 2018 Yefim Cherkis Scholarship winner Vivian Wan. Below is her statement for Generations, a photo series made in collaboration with her grandparents.
Generations
“What started out as simple documentation for a family album became a collaborative project. As part of the creative process, I asked my grandparents to co-curate the photographs from contact sheets and to provide captions. The result is a joint series, featuring captions and drawings alongside the photographs in which they play both subject and object.”

Kari Orvik’s tintype portrait of poet Fred Moten was also recently published in the New Yorker magazine:
“My tintype of the amazing poet and writer, Fred Moten was published for an article in the New Yorker about his recently-published 3 volumes of collected writings. Meeting him and making this photograph during an LA heatwave in my friend’s backyard was a memorable experience – what a lovely person!”
