2026-06-06 00:00 - 2026-08-22 23:59 (America/Los_Angeles) | Galería de la Raza Studio 24, 2779 Folsom St. Suite A, San Francisco, California, 94110, United States
Galería de la Raza is excited to present a double feature this summer showcasing the work and legacy of the late Rini Templeton in En Pie De Lucha: Miro y Aprendo, and the second installment of The AO Seriesfeaturing ReGen grantees Anna Colom and Nayelli Rosas.

En Pie De Lucha: Miro y Aprendo, co-curated with Ed McCaughn, Galería marks the 40th anniversary of Templeton’s passing with a selection of original prints from the artist’s portfolio Donde hay vida y lucha, printed in 1985 in collaboration with El Mixton, a political collective of artists in Guadalajara. We explore her bold and graphic images of people fighting for justice, working the fields, or living life, in conversation with a group of 40+ artists who answered a call from Espacio Zapata in Oaxaca, Mexico to pay homage to Templeton and her commitment to capturing a people in service of social justice through art.

The AO Series represents a significant investment in San Francisco’s creative arts sector, directly funding 15 artists and regranting $250K over the past two years. This series highlights the work of six grantees, offering the public an opportunity to experience the depth, regenerative spirit, and at times collaborative nature of each artist’s completed body of work.

These projects were made possible through the ReGen Artist Fund, a small grants program that pairs financial support with professional development. In addition to funding, participating artists receive training in grant writing and program planning, equipping them to develop competitive proposals for future opportunities. The fund is as much a commitment to artistic growth as it is to community investment. Encouraged to think critically about how art can reshape societal narratives, these artists examine their roles as cultural bearers while addressing stories and perspectives often overlooked in today’s politically charged climate.

Within Part Two of The AO Series, artists Anna Colom and Nayelli Rosas explore gender expression, safe placemaking, and cultural ties through portraiture and design, using tattooing and photography as forms of resistance, empowerment, and self-expression.
