San Francisco boasts a rich art and culture scene, highlighted by the Fine Arts Museums including the de Young and the Legion of Honor. These museums prioritize local talent while offering thought-provoking exhibitions. Recently, Isaac Julian's first American retrospective premiered at the de Young, described as an immersive experience that explores empathy and societal impacts. Tom Campbell, director of the museums, emphasizes their role as community hubs for conversation and creativity, welcoming people to engage with art in meaningful ways.
"Museums bring people together. Museums are a place of conversation, of dialogue. For some people it's a place to find respite, it's a place of escape."
"It's really immersive. It becomes a kind of visual poem and these films are about empathy, they're about individuals, they're about people in society and the way that society impacts them negatively and positively."
