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.

MCASD is partnering with literary and performing arts organization, So Say We All for a night of curated storytelling. Through an open call, artists will share stories inspired by our special exhibition "Celia Álvarez Muñoz: Breaking the Binding."

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

The legal tug-of-war with Title 42 continues. Days before the Trump-era immigration rule was set to expire, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts ordered a temporary hold on the policy. Then, many people are celebrating the holidays with gatherings and letting their guards down when it comes to COVID-19. But, cases are rising.

Next, policymakers met in Las Vegas last week to discuss the future of water supplies from the Colorado River. But they didn’t emerge with any new commitments to significantly cut back demand.
