Not Alone: Exploring Bonds Between and With Members of the Armed Forces
SFAC Main Gallery, 401 Van Ness Avenue (War Memorial Veterans Building), San Francisco,
November 9, 2016 – March 4, 2017
Not Alone: Exploring Bonds Between and With Members of the Armed Forces is an expansive exhibition featuring works by local and national artists and veteran artists that have been engaged with the subject matter of individuals supporting active-duty personnel and/or veterans over long periods of time.
The artists in Not Alone engage in building narratives about and with members of the Armed Forces and their families through media including photography, drawings, prints, sculpture, audio works, installations and 360 video. Their works offer perspectives on a variety of topics including veteran support networks, the experience of spouses and children of US military personnel and how veterans examine their own identity and personal relationships. The artwork in the exhibition highlights the family members, veterans and artists that actively seek out opportunities to connect and support their loved ones, friends and strangers (including everyone who is impacted by seeing this exhibition).
Not Alone is curated by SFAC Galleries Director Meg Shiffler and artist, curator and documentary filmmaker Jason Hanasik (CCA Alumni). Visit SFAC Website for more information.
