The exhibition "Race: Power, Resistance & Change" shares stories of how the construction of race has shaped laws, institutions, and daily life in San Diego and the broader multinational region. Presented in English and Spanish, the exhibition highlights key moments in this region’s complex history of race. Experienced through mixed media, artworks, and accounts from regional archives, the exhibition brings forward important stories and voices often left out of mainstream narratives. Created in collaboration with local artists, researchers, and community leaders, this experience highlights stories, past and present, of how communities have resisted oppression and worked for change. "Race: Power, Resistance & Change" is an invitation and a call to action. It is a space to reflect, connect personal experiences, and take part in ongoing conversations about racial justice and building a more equitable future together. La exposición "Raza: Poder, Resistencia y Cambio" comparte historias sobre cómo la construcción social de la raza ha moldeado las leyes, las instituciones y la vida cotidiana en San Diego y en la región multinacional más amplia. Presentada en Inglés y Español, la exposición destaca momentos clave en la compleja historia racial de esta región. Experimentada a través de medios mixtos, obras de arte y testimonios de archivos regionales, la exposición da voz a historias y perspectivas importantes que a menudo han sido excluidas de las narrativas dominantes. Creada en colaboración con artistas locales, investigadores y líderes comunitarios, esta experiencia resalta historias–pasadas y presentes–de cómo las comunidades han resistido la opresión y han trabajado por el cambio. "Raza: Poder, Resistencia y Cambio" es una invitación y un llamado a la acción. Es un espacio para reflexionar, conectar experiencias personales y participar en conversaciones continuas sobre la justicia racial y la construcción conjunta de un futuro más equitativo, juntos.
