SFMoMA’s First Disability Portrait Day (in-person)
Howard Street Corridor
The disability community is invited to SFMOMA’s first Disability Portrait Day! Come with your friends, family, and service animals and sign up for a sitting with disabled photographer Mia Charnelle. A selfie station will also be available for additional chances to strike a pose! All participants will receive free admission to the museum and are encouraged to check out the exhibitions, especially Creative Growth: The House That Art Built, featuring the work of disabled artists. This program was organized in partnership with the Longmore Institute, the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center, and the Disability Visibility Project. In the words of artist, writer, disability rights activist, and event collaborator Alice Wong, “Disability Portrait Day celebrates our culture by documenting who we are, as we are.”
Portraits by Mia Charnelle will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Prints and digital files of the portraits will be sent to sitters after the event. All participants will need to sign a release form before being photographed.
Sign up for updates and logistics tied to this event.
