Live in San Francisco? Or spending a weekend visiting the Bay Area? Check out Face of Our Time at the SF Museum of Modern Art (running through April 26), presenting the work of four contemporary photographers aligned for their shared interest in making pictures about the current condition of our world.
Yto Barrada looks at the transformations occurring in northern Morocco as the area becomes a tourist destination and the local culture is disrupted. Guy Tillim's pictures, which focus on politics and community in a rapidly changing Africa, convey a palpable feeling of restlessness and intensity. Judith Joy Ross makes quiet but powerful portraits of Iraq war protestors in rural Pennsylvania. And Leo Rubinfien’s photographs in cities that have recently experienced terrorist attacks are more than simple documentation, they evoke a sense of what it is to live in an era of terrorism, shedding light on a new vulnerability we all share.
