FORECAST 2026: SF Camerawork’s Annual Survey Exhibition @ SF Camerawork

SF Camerawork is pleased to announce FORECAST 2026, its annual juried survey exhibition, featuring six artists whose work explores new approaches to contemporary photography. Bringing together artists working across photographic processes, experimental image-making, and interdisciplinary practices, the exhibition reflects SF Camerawork's longstanding commitment to supporting emerging artists and encouraging critical dialogue around the photographic medium.

Selected from 127 submissions by jurors Janet Delaney, Omar Jason Farah, and Jonathan Mark Jackson, the six artists share an interest in the theoretical dimensions of photography, particularly time, reality, and memory. As the jurors observed, each artist approaches these subjects through formal intervention, material investigation, and autobiography, raising urgent questions about truth in images. Together, their work presents six distinct perspectives on the changing use and meaning of photographs in a period of great ambivalence.

The exhibition features Race Dillon, recipient of the Juror's Choice Award, Annette LeMay Burke, Elina Frumerman, Conner Gordon, Deena Qabazard, and Sam Soon. Three additional artists—Aishah Olabisi Balogun, Ari Salomon, and Beatrice Thornton—have been selected for Honorable Mention, with their work presented exclusively online.
