At this year’s SF Art Week, experience powerful live performances and unforgettable artwork at YBCA.

On view in our galleries are Nicky Nodjoumi’s surreal and kaleidoscopic paintings of political power and Nahid Hagigat’s evocative etchings about the ongoing struggle for women’s freedom. Alongside these works, you can watch films by Iranian filmmakers and attend programs on the politics of creative expression.

We also invite you to see Jo Kreiter’s "The Only Door I Can Open: Women Exposing Prison Through Art in Poetry," accompanied by an exhibition with Empowerment Avenue, an organization that uplifts the work of formerly incarcerated artists.
