We're celebrating Nuestra Cultura! Join us with Back From Tombouctou for a fun Nichos workshop! We will provide a wooden box and all the images and materials for decorating it in the Mexican tradition. Nicho can be made to Frida, Guadalupe or Loteria. Resembling dioramas, they are made from common household objects and craft material and traditionally combine elements from mestizo spirituality, and popular culture. San Diego Public Library presents Nuestra Cultura, a series celebrating and recognizing the rich heritage, history, contributions, and culture of our Latin American and Indigenous communities. We recognize that there is deeply rooted pride in heritage and that self-identities are important, unique, and may change over time. We celebrate with an array of programs for all ages and recommended reading and listening lists from our English and Spanish collections. Note: Children’s craft every Thursday at 4 p.m. Join us every week to learn a different medium, how to recycle everyday materials into art, and explore monthly observances and holidays! *Registration Required

The INSITE LAB is a roving platform for artists on both sides of the border (San Diego, US-Baja California, MX) designed to instigate conversations and experiences around process and research in art making. The LAB offers an innovative framework outside of academia where artists engage with specialists from a variety of disciplines and reimagine the region as a laboratory for research. The LAB also aims to provide time and space for the exchange of ideas, research, and experimentation intended to expand the boundaries of the participating artists' practices. Visit: https://www.practicebest.org/ https://insiteart.org/insite-lab Artists Jair Arias, Roxana Alvarado, MR Barnadas, Héctor Bázaca, Gosia Herc, Aleya Lanteigne, Adrián Pereda Vidal, Talia Pérez-Gilbert and Josh Tonies.

Jeanne Dunn's bold colors and semi-realistic forms take their cue from the idea of immersion in one’s sensations and individual experiences of an arboreal place. There’s a term for this in Japanese, where engaging in shinrin-yoku, or literally a “forest-bath,” is a time-honored practice of walking in the woods for its benefits to the mind and body. Her intention is to subvert common assumptions about Nature and to celebrate its agency and omnipresence. The exhibition continues through October 5, 2024. Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday (11 a.m. - 5 p.m.), Sunday & Monday: Closed Jeanne Dunn on Instagram
