Suné Woods, 2016 Baum Award Winner’s Exhibition Opens May 5th at SF Camerawork

The Baum Foundation along with SF Camerawork was pleased to announce in March 2016 that Suné Woods is the recipient of the 2016 Baum Award for an Emerging American Photographer. The award, which was a project established out of the conviction that photography is a powerfully influential medium with the capacity to emotionally connect with audiences in ways that words cannot, is administered by SF Camerawork. SF Camerawork is the city’s premiere alternative venue for photography.

Suné Woods creates photographs, collage works and multi-channel video installations. Woods employs a combination of appropriated and created imagery to address sociological phenomenon, imperialist mechanisms and formations of knowledge. Her work engages absences and vulnerabilities within cultural and social histories through the photographic image. She is interested in how language is emoted, guarded, and translated through the absence/presence of a physical body.

The award consists of a $10,000 grant, a publication and a solo exhibition at the SF Camerawork gallery. Woods notes, “This award for me means an opportunity to grow and evolve. I am extremely grateful to be a Baum Award recipient, and excited to share my work through SF Camerawork.”

Woods’ exhibition is now on view and open to the public from May 5^th – June 25^th, 2016 at SF Camerawork, located 1011 Market Street, 2^nd Floor, San Francisco.
