Jacqueline Francis, Associate Professor, California College of the Arts

Every Thursday evening during Portraits and Other Likenesses from SFMOMA, join us in the MoAD galleries for Community Voices: A Public Dialogue. Hear a creative thinker from the Bay Area cultural community reflect on the exhibition’s themes of identity, representation, space, and diaspora, and how these themes inspire the speaker’s practice.

Jacqueline Francis is an art historian specializing in U.S. art of the twentieth century and contemporary African Diaspora art. She is the author of Making Race: Modernism and “Racial Art” in America (University of Washington Press, 2012) and co-editor of Romare Bearden: American Modernist (Yale University Press, 2011).
