Artists Brody Albert and Nathaniel Klein will open a new exhibition, "A, B, C, D" at Best Practice on July 9, with a reception from 5-8 p.m. Albert is based in Los Angeles; Klein is based in San Diego and Denver. They use object-based sculpture, assemblage, multimedia, performance and installation work. More information from the gallery: Brody Albert’s meticulously produced sculptures translate pedestrian objects to platonic ideals. For this exhibition, Brody took two objects (scare-owls and cardboard boxes), reproduced them in shifting scales and hues, and arranged them to make a series of visual koans. Nathaniel Klein’s video work eschews editing in favor of choreographed movements in and between frames. For this exhibition, Nathaniel made five videos composed of objects collected from 99¢ stores, sorted by color, and arranged into interrelated, evolving still lifes. Brody is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles, California. Nathaniel is an artist and educator recently relocated to Denver, Colorado. Working collaboratively as OH since 2014, Brody and Nathaniel design and publish small-run Risograph and screen-printed publications, and occasionally curate. This exhibition at Best Practice will include a new OH publication take-away. Related links: Best Practice on Instagram

At the Women’s Museum of California’s October First Saturday program (October 1 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.), we invite the public to learn about the history of witchcraft, its connection to the modern feminist movement and connect with the knowledge of the natural world that our foremothers once used. Throughout history, women have used knowledge of herbs, moon cycles, and connections to nature for medicine, cooking, midwifery, and spiritual practices. Unfortunately women, mostly indigenous, non-Christian, or non-white women, have had these home remedies and practices weaponized against them with false accusations of witchcraft and harm to society. Visitors will learn about herbs and make their own herbal candles. The free activity will allow visitors to learn about herbal properties and personalize their candles by anointing them with herbs. WHEN| Saturday, October 1 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. WHERE| Women’s Museum of California Education Center - 404 Euclid Ave. San Diego, California 92114-2203 ADMISSION| This event if FREE!

Join us for an intimate and inspirational evening with multi-award winning author Leslie Ferguson and her book When I was her Daughter. With raw honesty, Ferguson depicts her journey through madness, loss, and a broken child-welfare system. Books will be available for purchase and signing. About the book: Seven-year-old Leslie has a serious problem. Someone is trying to kill her. She and her little brother must confront the stark reality of living with their mother’s raging psychosis. Other family members try to help, but they are no match for the unpredictability that comes with mental illness. Once in foster care, Leslie learns that life doesn't improve. . . until one simple and unexpected question changes Leslie's world forever. Leslie Ferguson enjoyed a career as a high school English teacher and college writing instructor for two decades before relocating to San Diego to pursue work in the publishing industry. Currently, Leslie sits on the Board of Directors of the International Memoir Writers Association, and she loves performing original stories and poems. As an editor and book doctor, one of Leslie’s passions is helping other writers tell their own stories with courage and emotional honesty. Her multi-award-winning debut memoir, When I Was Her Daughter, tells her story of madness, loss, and survival as a foster kid in the 1980s.
