Join Kearny Street Workshop and the SF Arts Commission on Saturday, May 23 from 2–4PM for Dreaming People’s History, the second installation of the 2026 Art on Market Poster Series. This walking tour tells the story of the Asian American Movement, when radicals used art to recover past struggles and create a new political identity. Celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander History Month with a walking tour of the poster series led by artist Colin Choy Kimzey and collaborator Jade Amargo Verdeflor. Learn about the community of San Francisco artists who helped define Asian America and take inspiration for how we can relate to the past in our own time.

Join us on May 22nd from 6-8pm at Arc Gallery & Studios for the launch of Maya Salameh’s poetry collection Mermaid Theory with poets Adam Ahmed and Christine Huang. RSVP at the link in bio! Limited seating/standing, reserve early to guarantee seats.

In her second full-length collection, Maya Salameh offers a profound exploration of Arab American identity, weaving together themes of myth, science, and cultural heritage. This daring collection deploys psychological evaluation forms, ritual incantations, and captivating visual poetry.

We recently lost one of KSW’s co-founders, Lora Jo Foo. Although we remember her as a skilled photographer and cornerstone of this now 54-year-old arts organization, Lora built a lifelong legacy as an attorney. She not only advocated for the rights of workers and labor organizers but was also a dedicated environmental activist. Throughout her years, she never stopped fighting for a more just world.

Thank you, Lora — for this space you helped build for us, for the artists whose lives you shaped, and for your fierce advocacy on behalf of workers. It is our privilege to shepherd this space, and our commitment to carry that collective spirit that brought KSW into being towards the future.
