Join Pointeworks for an in-studio open rehearsal of a new work by decorated emerging choreographic voice Keerati Jinakunwiphat. After just one week in the studio, experience the early stages of her ballet in creation and gain insight into the choreographic process. Step into the studio for this is a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of a ballet in development—where ideas are still evolving, movement is being shaped, and the creative process is fully visible. As a choreographer, Jinakunwiphat’s work centers on community, connection, and identity, drawing from her experience as a Thai-American artist navigating multiple cultural perspectives. Her process emphasizes collaboration and exploration, asking how we relate to one another through movement. This event offers a unique window into that process—inviting audiences to engage not just with the final product, but with the making of the work itself. Pointeworks on Facebook / Instagram

"Unrolling Paradise" explores the Persian garden as a living design tradition carried through textiles, memory, and everyday objects. Interdisciplinary artist Maryam Bayat reinterprets centuries-old carpet aesthetics through sculptural works that merge traditional Persian rugs with contemporary form and function. Raised in Tehran in a family of rug producers and now based in North County San Diego, Bayat draws from inherited craft to create installations that reflect on place, belonging, and cultural continuity. Her woven sculptures—appearing as furniture, abstract trees, and domestic interiors—extend the symbolism of the garden into three-dimensional space, linking ideas of sanctuary to personal and collective memory. This exhibition is curated by Sadry Hedayat and organized in collaboration with Persian Place. The exhibition opens alongside Nowruz – Persian New Year on March 14, 2026, from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Maryam Bayat is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, and functional art. Using repurposed furniture, Persian rugs, and architectural forms, she repositions domestic materials within three-dimensional space, shifting them from utility to structure. Raised in Tehran in a family of rug producers, Bayat draws from inherited craft traditions shaped by repetition, pattern, and labor. Her work examines how cultural knowledge is carried through objects and adapted across generations, connecting ideas of home, belonging, and continuity to lived experience. Bayat lives and works in the United States. California Center for the Arts Museum on Facebook / Instagram
