We Are Who We Have Been Waiting For
Solo Exhibition – Opening Reception – Friday June 12, 2026
A new exhibition by San Francisco-based artist Rebeka Rodriguez Mondragón — opens June 12 and runs through July 3, 2026. The work arrives as both declaration and question: What if salvation was never coming from outside of us? What if we are it?
Through new photography and hand-fabricated jewelry, Rodriguez Mondragón approaches the body as a charged site of memory, connection, and radical self-making. Metals conduct and transmit energy, amplify intention, and become the medium through which lineage travels.
Community as Practice
The opening reception also marks the launch of Rodriguez Mondragón’s artist residency at 465 Collective. Saturday gallery hours become live studio hours — the work continuing in collaboration.

Where: 465 Collective, 465 South Van Ness, SF, CA, 94103
Gallery Hours: Saturdays 12-5pm and by appointment
