We have partnered with Medium Photo to host a two-part workshop inspired by our special exhibition "Celia Álvarez Muñoz: Breaking the Binding." Working in photography allowed Álvarez Muñoz to play with perception by taking advantage of the viewer’s belief in photography as a documentary medium and calling attention to our capacity to misread images. Drawing on her practice, San Diego-based photographer Alan Nakkash invites participants to explore history and themes behind Conceptual Photography and conceptual photographic practice and techniques. Workshop space is limited to 20 participants.

Join our Education Team in exploring the use of language and storytelling in Celia Álvarez Muñoz’s art practice through zine-making. Commonly shared within underground music and art scenes, zines are a low budget and easy way to share ideas and immerse oneself in the art of bookmaking. Using humor and images, tell an original story in a comic strip-inspired zine. Related links: MCASD on Instagram | Facebook Event information
