SUMMARY:Memory Cafe in San Francisco—6/9/2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us and Open Exposures at the Bethany Center community room for a community-centered photography workshop designed for elders to engage emotion\, memory\, imagination and social connection through images. Participants will be invited to create albums of the work they’ve made over past sessions\, culminating in an exhibit. No prior photography experience is required! \nCaring 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. \nSan Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver. \nPlease RSVP in advance to Amy Takemoto by emailing her at: MemoryCafe@jfcs.org. Include the date of the event\, participant and caregiver’s name and which Memory Café event you are responding to in the email. \nAbout this event:  This is the third event in a three-part series. In this workshop Holding and Honoring\, participants will be invited to gather all of the photographs and stories they have made over the past 2 sessions into tangible accordion photo albums\, culminating in an exhibit. Rather than focusing on technical skill or documentation\, we will use photography as a sensory and relational practice. Participants are invited to look\, hold\, share\, remember\, and create through imagery. The workshop emphasizes presence over recall\, emotion over chronology\, and shared experience over individual performance. Open Exposures\, founded and grounded by Louis Bryant III and Katie Gritilian\, offers a series of workshops that examine how people of color in the diaspora experience the complex relationships between travel\, colonization\, and photography. Open Exposures was conceived in close collaboration with Katie Giritlian and other fellow worker-owners of Converge Collaborative.
