The San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade, ranked among the world's top ten parades by the International Festivals and Events Association, is one of the few remaining nighttime illuminated parades in North America and the largest Lunar New Year celebration outside of Asia. The Chinese community in San Francisco initiated the Chinese New Year celebration and parade in the 1860s to promote Chinese culture within the community. Today, it has developed into the largest Asian cultural celebration outside of Asia. The parade has been organized and hosted by the San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce since 1958.

KAWS: FAMILY explores the playful and poignant artistic universe created by KAWS. Marking KAWS’s first major museum exhibition on the West Coast, KAWS: FAMILY traces the artist’s output over the past three decades through its keen ability to connect to shared emotions and culture. From paintings, drawings, and sculptures to advertising interventions, product collaborations, and limited-edition collectible toys, visitors will encounter the many creative expressions of KAWS’s distinctive language using recurring characters and pop culture appropriations. At the heart of the exhibition is FAMILY (2021), a larger-than-life bronze sculpture that portrays KAWS’s beloved characters COMPANION, BFF, and CHUM grouped as an intimate family unit. Through their gestures of closeness and vulnerability, visitors can see themselves reflected in these figures, creating a shared sense of kinship and empathy. Borrowing from popular animated characters and cultural icons, KAWS’s characters recontextualize familiar imagery, creating a dialogue around cultural memory and contemporary life.

Kara Walker has long been recognized for her incisive examinations of the dynamics of power and the exploitation of race and sexuality. Her work leverages expressions of fantasy and humor to confront troubling histories and dominant narratives, repossessing control in the process. Inspired by a wide range of sources, from antique dolls to Octavia Butler’s novel Parable of the Sower, Walker’s new commission, Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine), considers the memorialization of trauma, the objectives of technology, and the possibilities of transforming the negative energies that plague contemporary society. Here, automatons trapped in a never-ending cycle of ritual and struggle are repositories of the human soul. They recall mechanized medieval icons that evidenced divinity, vitality, and the promise of faith. Situated within an energetically charged field of black obsidian from Mt. Konocti in Lake County — a volcanic glass with deep spiritual properties — Walker’s Gardeners evoke wonder, reflection, respite, and hope. Just past this prophetic vignette, the installation’s namesake, Fortuna, responds to each visitor with a choreographed gesture and a printed fortune fresh from her mouth — an offering of absolution and contemplation.

Writing is not only a language, but also a visual and even tactile form. The renowned artist and educator Josef Albers taught this concept to students at Black Mountain College in North Carolina—a former liberal arts college. Artist Ray Johnson studied there from 1945 to 1948. In an exercise called “typofacture,” Albers asked students in his design class to create drawings that mimicked printed or handwritten text. Students observed the textures of various surfaces—such as spots on a wall or patterns on a raked garden path—and applied this concept to printed text, because printed text bears the imprint of its production process, whether handmade or machine-printed. This activity deeply impressed Johnson, who later became a collage and letter artist whose work (like that of Paul Klee) often combined text with imagery.

Table Manners brings together tableware, flatware, and drinkware from the SFMOMA Architecture + Design collection spanning nearly 100 years. The exhibition celebrates the ways design has shaped our relationship to food, our bodies, and communities, and how dining can be a profound communal and cultural experience. From self-filling wine glasses and teapots made of tea, to crisp modernist spoons and flatware made from discarded CDs, Table Manners explores the performance of dining. The exhibition includes works by Virgil Abloh, Joe Colombo, Zaha Hadid, Roberto Lugo, and many more, accompanied by illustrations and textiles by Lucy Stark.
