Today, the images speak. 👁️ Discover “(Re)Constructing History” at SFMOMA

What can a single photograph reveal? This exhibition invites you to explore the layers of meaning behind the images we see—and the stories we often overlook.

Across three galleries, examine power, tradition, and transformation:
💼 Historic and modern depictions of Wall Street
🎨 Reworked visual traditions through reference and appropriation
🌿 Photography’s power to reveal hidden forces shaping environments and landmarks

Featuring works by Carrie Mae Weems, Nona Faustine, Carla Williams, Dawoud Bey, and others from the permanent collection, these artists illuminate stories previously unseen or unconsidered, moving beyond static, silent documents into imaginative, powerful narratives.
