The 15th Annual Dia De La Mujer Exhibition celebrates it's opening reception on March 5, 2022, with over 40 local artists from San Diego, San Ysidro, and Tijuana. the Front Arte y Cultura at Casa Familiar invites the public to attend the opening reception and its following Dia De La Mujer events.
About the exhibition: Continuing its long tradition in San Ysidro and San Diego, Casa Familiar’s Dia de la Mujer celebration brings together a wide array of artists over several events to elevate the works of BIPOC women and non-binary artists. It is an open invitation for artists to explore relevant issues of identity, gender, politics, community and/or spirituality.
This year’s exhibition is curated by Monica Hernandez, community organizer and curator from San Ysidro, California. Monica was one of the curators for the first Dia de la Mujer exhibition 15 years ago. “LOVE IS AN ACTION – Amor en los tiempos de pandemia is an invitation to present works that reflect on our resiliency, elevate the interconnectedness of all our relations, and explore love as a movement towards other possible worlds,” said Francisco Morales, Director of the Front Arte & Cultura. “It is a call to boldness and a return to love.”
