Community Voices: A Public Dialogue with Makeda Best

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.

Makeda Best is a historian of photography and an Assistant Professor of Visual Studies at the California College of the Arts. She is author of a forthcoming book on the Civil War-era photographer Alexander Gardner and is co-editor of the forthcoming anthology titled Conflict, Protest, and Identity in American Art; additional essays will appear in Critical Military Studies and the Journal of Decorative and Propaganda Arts.
