From San Diego Weekend Arts Events: Desert art, Dia de la Mujer, contemporary dance and more (KPBS feature): The Front gallery's long-running women-centric group exhibition, Dia de la Mujer, opens its 2022 iteration on Saturday, Mar. 5. This year, it's curated by Monica Hernández, with a jam-packed line-up of more than 40 artists, plus installation pieces by Xoque Art and the nonprofit youth program ARTS (A Reason To Survive). On my radar: a piece by Angelica Omaña, called "Generico Generacional" that combines painting with stacked brand-name medicine boxes; Annalise Neil's work; Tarrah Aroonsakool's "Her Mother’s Thai Silk," as well as the ARTS interactive postcard project. At Saturday's opening reception, there'll be music, live spoken word and installation activations, and Mujeres Brew House will be on hand for refreshments.

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 Mónica Hernández, curator. “It is a call to boldness and a return to love.” Participating artists: A.V.
