Shifting Worlds: A Photography Exchange | January 9 - March 28, 2027
Guest curated by Ann Trinca, "Shifting Worlds: A Photography Exchange" brings together artists from the Bay Area Photographers Collective and Samurai Foto from Japan in a dialogue about movement and impermanence. Across geographies, these photographers attend to a world in constant transition, where light shifts, environments evolve, and change is the only constant.
Through landscapes, architecture, and abstraction, the images pause within this flow, capturing fleeting alignments that quietly echo across distance. In this exchange, photography becomes a way of noticing change as a shared condition, revealing that even as the world shifts, we remain connected in how we see and make meaning.
