At the opening of the exhibition of photographs, More Than a Wall, a panel of photographers and artists will look at the U.S. Mexico border, not as Trump’s wall, but as a region where millions of people live and struggle for justice and a better life. The participants include leading figures in Bay Area art and photography, who will use their varied histories and methods of work to help us understand
– How they respond to the border as artists and activists
– How they use their tools to tell the story(s) of the people who live on the border
– The impact of their work
The stellar cast includes:
Juan Gonzales, founder of El Tecolote and director of the journalism program at City College of San Francisco
Kim Komenich, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and photojournalism teacher at San Francisco State University
Mabel Jimenez, border photographer and former photo editor for El Tecolote
Brooke Anderson, movement photographer and organizer
Juan Fuentes, celebrated artist and cultural activist
