"March 10–June 10, 2027 is just around the corner, and the much-anticipated finer details of this celebration of Bay Area art — past and present — are finally coming into focus.

Today, the triennial announced 17 recipients of its Community Impact Fund: grants of $20,000 each for arts organizations with QTBIPOC leadership and operating budgets under $2 million. The funds help ensure that smaller projects and spaces can participate in the triennial, alongside major players like the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art."

Thank you and for sharing this story announcing the Community Impact Fund Grantees!

Minoosh Zomorodinia has a deep fascination with our connection to the land. Drawing on her experience as an Iranian immigrant, Zomorodinia uses movement, mapping, and emerging technologies to explore how landscapes hold both personal and shared histories, and how our relationships to place shift as environments and narratives change.

For the inaugural edition of Further Triennial, Zomorodinia will present Spirit Gleaning, a two-part collaborative project unfolding between Djerassi Resident Artists Program, where she was an artist-in-residence in 2016, and Root Division, where the exhibition will take place.

Returning to Djerassi’s 583-acre landscape in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Zomorodinia will engage the land through field research, video, photography, movement, and 3D scans, exploring the impact of climate change, fluctuating weather patterns, and wildfire on the ecology of the site.

The resulting work will invite visitors into her process, offering a meditation on memory, migration, environmental change, and our rapidly shifting relationship to the landscapes we inhabit.

After more than 20 years away from painting, expressionist artist Keka Enriquez, known for her radical experimentations on canvas, is picking up the brush again.

This spring, she’s in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts (), creating new work for her first U.S. solo show—MATRIX 290 / Keka Enriquez—which will debut in December 2026 at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive () in collaboration with the Headlands as part of Further Triennial, and will be on view through April 25, 2027. The artist will also have a small satellite presentation at Headlands in the spring of 2027.

An established painter in the Philippines, Enriquez paused her art practice after moving to the Bay Area in 1998, and began working as a recreational therapist in San Francisco. Now, she returns to her bold, expressive style—bringing vibrant, long-awaited new paintings to Bay Area audiences for the first time.

On view now at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (), Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings is the first retrospective in twenty-five years dedicated to the artist’s groundbreaking work.

Cha emigrated to the US from South Korea and enrolled at UC Berkeley in 1969, a place that was formative to her development as an artist. Working across performance, video, text, and installation, Cha became a defining voice in the experimental and conceptual art scenes of San Francisco, New York, and beyond.

Her interdisciplinary practice—including her posthumously published book Dictée (1982)—reshaped how narrative, authorship, and audience could function in contemporary art.

Grounded in her concept of “Multiple Telling with Multiple Offering,” the exhibition invites visitors into nonlinear pathways through themes of memory, displacement, and the mutability of language, and the first chance in more than two decades to explore this seminal artist’s work.

Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings is on view through April 19.

Explore local legends like Dewey Crumpler, Maija Peeples-Bright, Kota Ezawa, Gay Outlaw, Maria Silk, and Catherine Wagner. And discover the underground heroes and nonconformists who shaped this place. Some shows look back. Others look forward. All are grounded right here.

Guess what, there’s more:

🚐 A retrofitted vintage vehicle turned roaming art hub
📍 Twelve weekends of events and performance across each region
💸 A new fund supporting community-rooted organizations
