SFC September Members' Critique

SF Camerawork's monthly critiques offer members the opportunity to share and receive feedback on their current projects. September's Members' Critique will be led by Zoë Latzer writer and curator, currently serving as Curator and Director of Public Programs at the Institute of Contemporary Art San José.

Presenter slots are on a first come first served basis with members only able to present once per quarter/season each year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter).

Email [email protected] to present; space is limited to 5 presenters per session.

5 photographers have 15 minutes at each critique to present their work and receive feedback from the critique leader and the group. In addition to the five photographers presenting work, there are also typically up to 25 other members who tune in to observe, comment, and ask questions. Critiques are intended to be as collaborative as possible, and we encourage all participants to engage in the conversation!

This event is reserved for current SF Camerawork members. Unsure of your registration status? Email [email protected].

More about our moderator: Zoë Latzer is a writer and curator, currently serving as Curator and Director of Public Programs at the Institute of Contemporary Art San José. After five years at the ICA, she has worked across exhibitions, publications, public programs, outreach initiatives, and the integration of technology into audience engagement. Her practice centers on immersive, multi-sensory exhibitions that explore technology, mythology, and speculative, research-driven world-building. Latzer prioritizes collaborative care, supporting artists whose work engages archives, material experimentation, and cross-disciplinary research.

She holds a BA in History of Art and Visual Culture from UC Santa Cruz and an MA in Curatorial Practice from California College of the Arts. At ICA San José, she has curated solo and group exhibitions including Blood Be Water, Allegedly the Worst Is Behind Us, Leymusoom Garden, In a Knotted World, and Blood, Sweat and Time. Her work foregrounds immersive environments, experimental narrative structures, and time-based media. Through her practice, Latzer develops exhibitions as research-driven ecosystems, enabling artists to expand media, reconfigure archives, and imagine alternate systems of social, technological, and environmental engagement.

Her exhibitions have been featured in The New York Times, Hyperallergic, Art in America, KQED, Square Cylinder, and Metro Silicon Valley.
