This group show gathers women, nonbinary, trans, and gender expansive photographers based in the Bay Area who are using the image creation process as a site of resistance and to look toward liberatory futures.
Photo Saloon invites submissions from women, nonbinary, trans, and gender expansive photographers based in the Bay Area for our upcoming group exhibition themed: Photography as Resistance.
This exhibition gathers artists who are using image making as a site of resistance, as memory, as refusal, as care, as possibility.
We invite work that interrogates power and is rooted in imagination, accountability, and collective care.

Why This Exhibition
In times of rupture, photography and art can function as archive, witness, and connective tissue. This show is an offering toward collective imagination. A gathering of artists thinking critically about how and why we make pictures.
We look forward to seeing what you are making!
“This is precisely the time when artists go to work.”
Toni Morrison
