Casa Familiar is proud to announce the 19th annual Dia de la Mujer Exhibition, titled “Exquisite Potential: Surviving the 21st Century through Surreal Metamorphosis." The opening reception will take place on March 7, 5-7 p.m., at The FRONT Gallery in San Ysidro, California. Exquisite Potential, draws inspiration from the Surrealist movement of the 1920s-30s, where artists and writers explored metamorphosis as a process of collective mythmaking in order to push back against oppression, which included the rise of European fascism and the effects of Western imperialism. This exhibition brings together a wide array of international and local artists over several events to elevate the works of BIPOC women and non-binary artists from both sides of the border. More than a century later, anti-fascist and anti-imperialist methods rooted in a surreal metamorphosis must be re-examined and re-employed as strategies to confront present-day national/global authoritarianism and the complete disregard of human rights. By turning the familiar into the strange or the grotesque into the beautiful we are empowered by the ability to forge our own existence in whatever shape it takes.
