Museum of the African Diaspora
South of Market, San Francisco →About
At the center of Calling All Cats! is the black cat, a creature followed for centuries by superstition and suspicion. In Reid’s hands, the cat carries dignity, wit, tenderness, and agency. It appears as artist, neighbor, witness, troublemaker, and friend. This collection of objects will tell the story of the "Black Cat Revolution," a movement and club Reid founded in 2024 to dismantle prejudices and raise funds for cats and community members. This exhibition brings us into the full breadth of Reid’s imagination and introduces one of the Bay Area’s most singular multidisciplinary artists. Her work is joyful, intimate, politically alive, and gloriously its own. She explains, "I'm creating my own Black History with cats. The club is for all who love cats, freedom, justice, liberation, and stand against superstition." Come for the cats. Stay for the world they have built around them. Exhibit Available During Regular Operating Hours: Monday-Closed Tuesday-11am - 5pm Wednesday-11am - 5pm Thursday-12pm - 8pm Friday- 11am - 5pm Saturday-11am - 5pm Sunday-11am - 5pm
