"ALL I CAN LEAVE YOU IS THIS GLITTER" refers to more than just material possession but the impression of memories and ephemerality. The exhibition responds to the maximalist visuals of a family party, and its "glitter" or remnants of identity carried through migration while settling in new places. The work reflects subcultures formed in the process of integration in Southern California as it weaves together elements of architecture, personal adornments, and symbolic motifs from the homes of the Latin American diaspora. Reception: April 19, 6 - 8 p.m. Gallery Hours: April 19 - April 26, 2024 Main Gallery, Visual Arts Facility, UC San Diego Visit: visarts.ucsd.edu/news-events/20240419-26_deannabarahona.html
