We are excited to welcome the first-ever UCSF Library Artist in Residence, Farah Hamade.
There was a remarkable response to the call for submissions, and the committee reviewed twenty-seven applications from artists in the Bay Area, several US states, and Canada and representing diverse media formats, including ceramics, interactive wood sculpture, photography, bookmaking, videography, collage, comic books, painting, 3D installation, and others. Farah Hamade was named the inaugural UCSF Library Artist in Residence and commenced her yearlong project, The City is a Body: Systemic Vulnerabilities in the time of COVID-19 on June 1: https://www.library.ucsf.edu/news/meet-our-artist-in-residence/.
