Art has long been a way for people to carry pieces of home with them — across borders, languages and generations. Join Daylight San Diego for Making Home: How Immigrants Use Art to Find Belonging, a conversation with artists Josue Baltezar, Victor Castañeda H, Fernanda Gaspar and Amara Sengamphan about how creative practices help immigrant communities build identity, connection and a sense of place. This event marks the launch of the Daylight Culture Club, a new series of arts and culture gatherings designed to bring people together to learn, create and connect. Each event will feature conversations with artists, cultural leaders or creatives, along with time for participants to make art together in a welcoming, community-centered space. Following the panel discussion, guests will be invited to stay and craft in community. Some craft supplies will be provided, and attendees are also encouraged to bring their own projects — whether that’s knitting, drawing, collage, embroidery or another creative practice — and work alongside others. Daylight will hold the event at Doh Doh Coffee, a small business run by Karen refugees, where art created by and for their community is featured. The goal is simple: create a space where people can talk about art, make art and build community together. Tickets are available on a sliding scale at $5, $10 or $15. March 28 1-3 p.m. Doh Doh Coffee, 5591 University Ave., San Diego, CA 92105 Space is limited, so reserve your ticket today to secure your spot. Additional details, including panelists and crafting activities, will be announced soon. Want to support this event?
