Perspectives Spaces and Campana Studios are pleased to announce the opening of "Femme Vitale," an exhibition including works from Southern California-based artists Ana Andrade, Kirstyn Hom, Dillon Chapman, and Nicole Merton. "Femme Vitale" is also the name of a six-episode short documentary series that will launch Telepathine Studio, a film and video production atelier led by creative director Carolina Montejo. Both the exhibition and the documentary series celebrate women working in art, environmentalism, activism, and music who are shifting the paradigms of identity, gender, and joy in the larger San Diego region. The artist reception will be held on Saturday, June 4 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Perspectives Space, Encinitas. The exhibit will run until Friday, July 8. RSVP for the opening reception here! This event is free and open to the public.
