Memory Cafe in Marin—4/22/2026

Explore Marin Museum of Contemporary Art’s newest exhibit, Set Up Situations and enjoy good company and beverages at a neighborhood café afterwards. Set Up Situations brings together artists who use photography not merely as a medium of documentation, but as an active tool—one that intervenes, performs, and provokes.

Caring for a loved one with memory loss doesn’t have to be a lonely job. Memory Cafe is a gathering for people experiencing mild to moderate memory loss and their caregivers (spouses, family members, or friends). Enjoy time with your loved one and meet others who are dealing with similar issues in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Memory Cafe meets on many Thursdays in Marin at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver.

RSVP in advance by April 15th to Amy Takemoto at Memorycafe@jfcs.org. Please indicate the date of the event, participant and caregiver’s name and which event you are responding to in the email.

About this outing: These artists approach photography as action: a gesture, a confrontation, and a collaboration. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the emotional and psychological textures embedded within images—what lies beneath the surface, in the act of looking and being seen. Photography here becomes a form of personal activism—a space where identity, resistance, and self-representation converge. The works reclaim narratives, question visibility, and open dialogue with the unseen or untold. In this way, Set Up Situations embraces photography as an evolving, performative act, where meaning unfolds in the moment of encounter.
