Slate Contemporary Gallery is pleased to be a part of Unseen histories: AAPI voices in contemporary art exhibition at Karl Art SF.

The Bay Area has long been shaped by the creativity, resilience, and activism of the AAPI community. From historical movements that have redefined civil rights to contemporary artistic expressions that push the boundaries of tradition and innovation, AAPI artists continue to shape the cultural fabric of the region and beyond. This exhibition serves not only as a celebration of these contributions but also as a critical reflection on the stories, struggles, and triumphs that have defined generations.​

Karl invites audiences to engage with this powerful body of work, encouraging conversations that honor the past, confront the present, and envision a more inclusive and representative future. As the collective expands its mission to support emerging and established artists alike, the exhibition underscores the vital role of art in amplifying voices that have been historically overlooked or marginalized. Through this presentation, Karl seeks to create a space where art becomes a conduit for connection, understanding, and action—a place where the richness of AAPI identities are not only seen and celebrated but deeply felt.
