For an in-person panel, curator Elizabeth Rooklidge (who is founder and editor of HereIn, a locally based arts publication) will be joined by Janelle Iglesias, one of the artists with work in the exhibition, as well as Anna Culbertson, an archivist working in special collections and archives at San Diego State University. They'll discuss the world of archiving, as well as celebrate the launch of the exhibition catalog and then you can tour the exhibition and see how the artists played with archived works themselves.

The La Jolla Historical Society celebrates the launch of the catalogue for the exhibition, Memory Traces: Artists Transform the Archive.

The newly-released catalogue— which includes an in-depth scholarly essay, images of the exhibition artworks, and material from the LJHS archive— will be available for purchase.
After the panel discussion, attendees will be invited to view the exhibition.
Admission is free and donations are encouraged. Capacity for this in-person lecture is 35. Light refreshments will be served.
