Jos Sances “Since coming from Boston to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1976, I have worked largely in cooperative or collective situations. As an artist-in-residence at the Mission Cultural Center and La Raza Graphics in San Francisco, in my studio, and for Alliance Graphics in Berkeley, I have worked with other artists and community-based political and cultural organizations to improve the quality of graphics used to promote various political and cultural events. While I find much satisfaction in producing my own images and have an exhibition record that spans more than a decade, working with other artists has allowed me to stretch and grow, improving my visual vocabulary and broadening my specific and general knowledge of printmaking and of art practice.”

Claudia Bernardi Printmaker Claudia Bernardi left her native Buenos Aires in 1979 at the age of 24, during the terrifying period of the “disappearances.” Her experience as a survivor of state terrorism has motivated her work with survivors of similar “dirty wars” who came to the San Francisco Bay Area as refugees. Her personal experiences also led to her participation as part of a team of forensic anthropologists, led by her sister, from Argentina. The team has investigated the sites of mass graves in El Mozote, El Salvador, and Ethiopia; and Bernardi has lectured extensively on the team’s findings. Her monotypes, woodblock prints, and work with raw pigments, which she calls “frescoes on paper” evoke the spirit of those who disappeared and were rediscovered by these exhumations. Bernardi has taught at the University of California Extension, University of Michigan, and Universidad del Salvador, and Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has received a number of awards including California Arts Council grants, the Jerome Foundation Fellowship from the Kala Institute, and First Prize in Printmaking at the Berkeley art Center'’ EighthAnnual in 1992.
