Art and activism colliding on paperšŸ–‹ļø Graphic artist and self-described ā€œartivistā€ Orlando Smith is bringing a new kind of American Gothic to SFMOMA in ā€œO. Smith: Artivistā€ in this gallery presentation of his small but extraordinarily detailed works on paper. Smith, who is currently incarcerated at San Quentin prison, began drawing more than forty years ago. With his deep belief in the humanity of all people, Smith’s work highlights the criminal legal system to indict abuses of power in the United States and around the globe. His drawings righteously, loudly, and fearlessly confronts injustice while crying out for universal civil rights. ā€œO. Smith: Artivistā€ On view now through ⁠June 20, 2027 šŸ“Floor 2 — Orlando Smith, ā€œAging Is A Fact!,ā€ 2025; Ruth Nash Fund purchase; photo: Tenari Tuatagaloa
