Casa Familiar’s groundbreaking 'Invisible Traditions' is part of the Official Calendar of World Design Capital San Diego-Tijuana 2024. Invisible Traditions marks the first Dia de la Mujer (International Women's Day) exhibition hosted binationally in Tijuana and San Diego. It highlights Black, Indigenous, and People of Color women and non-binary designers and artists from both sides of the border who use their creativity to bring hidden practices, beliefs, and customs to light. Curated by Katalina Silva and Arzu Ozkal, Invisible Traditions focuses on how certain socio-cultural practices could fade into obscurity or become less visible in everyday life, despite their significance. These practices contribute to a sense of belonging among members of groups that are marginalized and subject to inequality. Invisible Traditions is a critical reflection on how design choices can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and support oppressive systems. The exhibition challenges designers to consider the ethical implications of their work, urging them to question embedded narratives, symbols, and messages.
