This exhibition celebrates the work of ten Native American artists living on reservations in San Diego and Riverside Counties and working across all media, from painting and sculpture, to fashion, narrative writing, and music. San Diego County is home to eighteen reservations —more than any other county in the United States— and to prolific and varied creative output of Indigenous contemporary artists working today. Southern California Natives live both on and off the rez, upholding historic culture and traditions while concurrently inhabiting the modern world. The work of the artists featured in "Voices from the Rez" both acknowledges their past while embodying new perspectives on contemporary life. Join us for the Opening Reception of "Voices from the Rez" on Friday, June 3 at 6 p.m. at La Jolla Historical Society. This exhibit will be available to enjoy from Saturday, June 4 through Sunday, September 4 on Museum hours. Register here to attend the opening reception! The exhibit is free and open to the public.

"Carmen Argote: Filtration System for a Process-based Practice" features a recent body of work by Los Angeles-based artist Carmen Argote (b. 1981, Guadalajara, MX), much of which was completed during the pandemic. Accomplished over a five-year period, six interwoven series navigate the artist's perennial walking practice, centering around Lincoln Park in East Los Angeles. Through sculpture, drawing, voice recordings, and actions, Argote playfully galumphs over boundaries between public and private, self and world, and human and non-human animal. On display June 4 through October 23, 2022 during museum hours. Thursday to Sunday: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Wednesday: Closed Location | Museum of Contemporary Art Downtown Get tickets here!
