Forecast 2026 | November 21, 2026 - January 24, 2027

SF Camerawork is pleased to announce FORECAST 2026: SF Camerawork’s Annual Survey Exhibition. Featuring six selected artists and three online honorable mentions, the exhibition highlights compelling approaches to contemporary photography and its evolving role in shaping our understanding of the world.

Selected by jurors Janet Delaney, Omar Farah, and Jonathan Mark Jackson, the exhibition brings together artists whose practices explore photography's relationship to time, reality, and memory. Through material experimentation, formal intervention, and personal narrative, the artists challenge conventional ideas of photographic truth and representation.

As the jurors observe:
"The selected artists for FORECAST 2026 are joined by an interest in the theoretical components of photography: time, reality, and memory. Each artist brings these subjects to the contemporary floor through formalist intervention, material investigation, and autobiography. The jury considered how each of these works reflects urgent questions around truth in images. This exhibition unites six strong perspectives on the changing use of photographs in a period of great ambivalence."

Together, these six distinct perspectives reflect the possibilities of photography as both an artistic medium and a means of questioning how images shape our perception of the world.
