Casa Familiar is proud to announce the opening of a new art exhibition which explores artisanal practices, traditions and crafts that have been passed from person to person through generations. The exhibition, titled “Infinite Rivers" opens July 12 and runs through Sept. 13, 2025. An opening reception will be held July 12 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at The FRONT Gallery in San Ysidro (147W San Ysidro Blvd, San Ysidro, 92173). Indigenous artists from the Kumeyaay community, Chemehuevi, Zapotec, Huichol, Taraumara communities, as well as artists from San Diego and Tijuana, Lebanon and Colombia, will participate in this exhibition. Their works show that while artisanal practices and traditions are passed down through generations, sometimes those traditions are kept intact for thousands of years, and sometimes they are in constant evolution. The artist Andrea Echeverri, from Colombia, better known for her music project “Los Aterciopelados," will be showing some of her ceramic creations and will be at the opening reception to share a little bit about their new album. Francisco Eme, gallery director at The FRONT Arte & Cultura, curated the exhibition. “In the face of emerging technologies, addiction to screens, mass produced objects, and annihilation of cultural practices, keeping crafting traditions alive seems like an impossible endeavor,” said Eme. “'Infinite Rivers' invites us to appreciate these practices from a caring and culturally conscious approach.” The Front Arte & Cultura on Facebook / Instagram
