Capture Photography Festival presents its second Speaker Series talk with Shana Lopes, an Assistant Curator of Photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). The photography collection at SFMOMA was one of the first art institutions in the United States to recognize photography as an art form and now houses the nation’s largest permanent space for photography in the Pritzker Center for Photography. During this event, Lopes will discuss ten recent acquisitions.

This event is part of Capture’s 2024 Speaker Series and is generously supported by Rob Bruno.
