MCASD’s focus on female artists continues in March 2023 with the first museum exhibition of San Diego and Tijuana-based artist Griselda Rosas. "Griselda Rosas: Yo te cuido" is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, presenting new textile drawings and sculptural installations that explore themes of inheritance and intergenerational knowledge. Rosas, who is based between San Diego and Tijuana, adopts embroidery skills learned from her mother, grandmother, and aunts, often using her young son’s drawings as foundations on which to layer, stitch, and build. Incorporating natural pigments and collage, Rosas combines these inventive images with colonial imagery to evoke a collision and circulation of cultures. Reserve your ticket today through here.
