“MOMENTOUS” not only describes the impact and significance of this collection to the community, it also represents the “moments” in time – of history, people, places – and “us”, organization and community together. For the last year, we have been in the process of cataloguing and documenting artwork that we as an organization and gallery have acquired for the last 50 years. The final collection includes over 70 pieces from local, international, and historic artists from the border region and beyond. We’re celebrating this incredible milestone with an exhibition showcasing a selection of those pieces, and invite you to join us for the opening reception.

Join us for the annual Doctoral Research Colloquium on Friday, March 6! The colloquium features talks by UCSD Visual Arts PhD students along with a keynote lecture by a speaker who has influenced their practice, Professor Gerardo Aldana, from UC Santa Barbara. The Colloquium will be followed by a Reception and Screening for the collaborative exhibition in SME Gallery. Gerardo Aldana is a professor of Chicana/o Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research takes a history of science and indigenous studies approach to exploring Mayan hieroglyphic history, with a focus on astronomy. Throughout his research, for example in The Apotheosis of Janaab Pakal: Science, History and Religion at Classic Maya Palenque and Calculating Brilliance: an intellectual history of Mayan Astronomy at Chich’en Itza, he investigates cases of historically contingent invention and discovery within indigenous Mayan scientific practice. More recently, his research has led to further exploration of what he refers to as “oracular science” within ancient Mesoamerican astronomical practice. At the core of this exploration is a 14th century indigenous Mayan hieroglyphic manuscript comprising primarily divination almanacs and astronomical tables.
