What to See in San Francisco Art Week 2025

San Francisco is a city with a rich history of countercultural movements and artistic expression. Despite recent criticisms from art historian Rebecca Solnit, who believes the city has lost its soul to tech giants, the Bay Area continues to thrive as a hub of creativity and innovation. This is evident in the upcoming San Francisco Art Week, a celebration of art and culture that showcases the diverse talent found in the region.

One of the highlights of San Francisco Art Week is Hiba Kalache’s exhibition “Embodiment” at Altman Siegel. Kalache’s vibrant and intense paintings, inspired by the 2020 explosion at the Port of Beirut, offer a powerful and emotionally charged experience for viewers. Her work, influenced by the 13th-century book of fables KalÄ«la wa-Dimna, invites viewers to explore tales of jackals and lions or simply be captivated by the raw energy of her art.

Another must-see exhibition during San Francisco Art Week is Davina Semo’s “A Serious Celebration” at Jessica Silverman Gallery. Semo’s sculptures, particularly her hanging bells, evoke a sense of joy and celebration despite the artist’s personal challenges, such as having to evacuate her home due to fires. The playful yet thought-provoking nature of Semo’s work invites viewers to consider the deeper meanings behind everyday objects.

At Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, artist Kota Ezawa presents “Here and There — Now and Then,” a multimedia exhibition that explores themes of resistance and remembrance. Ezawa’s work, including “Grand Princess,” which chronicles the journey of a cruise ship during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by society in recent years.

The winter group show “The Blinding Light” at Slash gallery offers a unique perspective on scientific discoveries and the complexities of reality. Featuring works by Raven Chacon, Ishan Clemenco, and others, the exhibition challenges viewers to consider the interconnected nature of knowledge and perception.

Finally, the Asian Art Museum hosts Ashwini Bhat’s “What Will It Take / For Us To Awake?” a striking installation featuring a bronze bell shaped like a calla lily. Intended as a symbol of regeneration and resilience in the face of California’s wildfires, Bhat’s work encourages visitors to reflect on the urgent need for action in the face of environmental challenges.

Overall, San Francisco Art Week promises to be a dynamic and engaging showcase of the city’s vibrant art scene. From paintings and sculptures to multimedia installations, the exhibitions featured during this event offer a diverse range of perspectives and experiences for art enthusiasts to explore.
