Digital Gateways
As two encyclopedic museums located in an evolving, globally significant city, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have a unique opportunity to inspire curiosity around art & democratize access to culture.
To reach a younger audience, FAMSF wanted to distill 4,000 years of art, politics, and history into formats built for social feeds. Together, we transformed curator-chosen artworks into abstract digital interpretations that invite new eyes and curiosity into the collection.
Michelle Erickson's “Wild Porcelain” exhibition film is shot in her studio in Virginia, presenting an intimate look at Erickson's unique approach to ceramic arts that blend traditional colonial era techniques and contemporary social, political, and environmental themes.
Wangechi Mutu's “I Am Speaking, Are You Listening?” Exhibition Film
Directed by Dawit N.M. and narrated by Mutu herself, this poetic and intimate exploration of Wangechi Mutu’s exhibition takes viewers on a journey of Mutu’s work as it is dispersed throughout the Legion of Honor galleries.
The film invites you to consider Mutu’s belief of the artist as a healer and to reflect on art histories and the possibility of a world defined by care and protection of both people and the planet.
