Viva La Raza: Reflections on San Diego’s Chican@ Movement is a multigenerational exhibition presented by The Woo in collaboration with Subcultura Curation in Barrio Logan, one of San Diego’s recognized cultural districts. Opening Saturday, April 11, 2026, the exhibition is inspired by the resistance, cultural pride, and community movement surrounding Chicano Park Day (April 25) and will be on view throughout that weekend. Through visual art, archival materials, photography, and storytelling, "Viva La Raza" brings together multiple perspectives reflecting the history, culture, and creative spirit of San Diego’s Chican@ community. The exhibition features Aztlan Archives as a central historical anchor, a focus on the Queer Chicanx experience in collaboration with Lambda Archives of San Diego, a community-led photography exhibition by Manuel Ceniceros and "All For Logan," and a solo presentation of new works by BRISK ONE. Together, these elements highlight both the legacy and ongoing evolution of the movement in San Diego. The exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to reflect on the histories, cultural contributions, and creative expressions that continue to define and inspire the region today. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

Armed with the unique perspective of growing up in rural Idaho to become a favorite in the New York stand-up comedy scene, Ryan is one-of-a-kind. With two Netflix specials, "Happy Face" and his latest, "This Just Hit Me," plus numerous late-night television appearances, including as a regular guest on "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon," he’s garnered a following of loyal fans. They’ve turned out for sold-out theaters and arenas across the country, including a headlining show at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. At the same time, he’s had the unique privilege of serving as a frequent opener for two of the largest touring comedy acts in the country, both Jerry Seinfeld and Nate Bargatze. Ryan is beloved by stand-up fans everywhere, and his future is bright. The New York Times said, “his new hour a breakthrough,” and praised his ability to tell “great observational jokes that display meticulous attention to language and a gift for making the familiar seem alien.” Tickets $30-72 (Face value $25 – 60).
