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.
