The Kitchen Sisters and KQED present The Making Of… live at SFMOMA, inspired by our radio series “The Making Of…” about what people make in the Bay Area and why.
On Thursday and Friday, May 30 and 31, and Saturday June 1, The Kitchen Sisters will host three days of drop-in demo and conversation tables along with presentations and daily maker talks. Over one hundred makers of all kinds will present their work, process, and expertise.
As SFMOMA prepares to temporarily close for two and a half years of expansion and renovation, a vast community of makers will come share their skills and crafts and tell their stories. The museum will be full of inventions, contraptions, art, food, stories, music, imagination, community.
This three-day event is part of SFMOMA’s Countdown Celebration and entrance to the museum is free.
