My exhibition, ‘Big Oil, Global Warming, and a Calculated Stitch’ at University of California San Francisco Library at 530 Parnassus Ave ends on Friday, September 18. I was honored to be selected as the 2024-25 UCSF Library Artist in Residence with the year culminating in these works that all include plastic discarded at the medical center. As you may know, my relationship with UCSF began in 1975 when I started medical school and continues as a patient in the post-lung transplant clinic just steps away from the Library. The News Stories I wrote during the residency and other articles continue on the Library website (links in bio). The AIR was a rewarding experience for me in many ways. Thanks to Dylan Romero and Polina Ilieva for mentoring me, and to many other Library staff for their support. Thanks to all who visited the artwork or read my News Stories.

My next post introduces the 2025 UCSF Library AIR, Michelle Memran. Reception at the Library September 23, 4-6 pm

Making is happening with Joshua Cobbett at the @ucsfmakerslab!

Ideating and preparing for my upcoming exhibition at the @ucsflibrary, culminating from a year of research in the library's HIV/AIDS Epidemic Collection, exploring how community-driven advocacy that transformed public health during the crisis can inform new approaches to dementia awareness today.

This image is from the poster "Look After Each Other, 1993" by Canadian artist @scotttreleaven, featured in the @visual_aids calendar Everyday.

I love what he wrote: "As for the text, the message is simple: a broad-based, heartfelt slogan meant to imply a number of issues around awareness, community, charity, and solidarity ... We've always watched out for each other when no one else would."

Thank you to the UCSF Library and Makers Lab for making this exploration possible! And thank you to the wonderful @katie.pearl.here for making this video!

Hello! I'm leading a workshop on Wednesday, April 15 at the Kalmanovitz Library in CL 213-214 from 12 - 1 p.m. (UCSF ID required to attend), see below, and come join us!

Register at tiny.ucsf.edu/FOWF

2025 UCSF Library Artist in Residence, Michelle Memran, presents Finding Our “We” Forward: Who Tells the Story of Brain Change, and Why Language Matters.

This story-centered workshop explores how personal narratives can challenge stigma and cultivate connection around dementia-related diagnoses. Drawing inspiration from the @UCSFLibrary HIV/AIDS Epidemic Collection, the session examines storytelling practices that emerged at a pivotal moment in public health advocacy—when firsthand testimony, collective voice, and acts of witnessing became vital tools for both care and change.

Michelle Memran, a documentary filmmaker, invites participants to consider how language shapes lived experience, how stigma reverberates through individuals and families, and what it means to advocate for ourselves and others facing often misunderstood, multifaceted illnesses.

Through guided reflection and creative storytelling exercises, participants will reflect on how telling a story—our own or a loved one’s—can connect us and expand our shared understanding.

This workshop explores how to move from isolated experiences toward a shared “we,” and how reclaiming narrative agency can reshape our understanding of dementia and catalyze a much-needed care revolution.
