Experience Blazing Light: Photographs by Mimi Plumb.

In her first solo museum exhibition, the High will present three of her major bodies of work, featuring more than one hundred photographs captured in and around San Francisco and across the American West. Collectively, they contemplate how changes in geopolitics, the economy and the environment have shaped the anxieties of American life from the 1970s to today. Members see it first and free!
