From the organizers: Join us Saturday February 4, 2023 for the Opening Night of "Lost in Translation": A Game of Telephone at the San Diego Central Library. Beginning at 6 p.m, the results of a yearlong game of Telephone between 27 local artists and authors will be revealed! Come by and be the first to see the fascinating, touching, and humorous works of (mis)interpretation! Inspired in part by the current state of communication breakdown in our country, this exhibition examines the many ways we (mis)interpret or (mis)understand each other through a game of telephone with local artists and authors. The fascinating, touching and humorous interpretations that occur as words are rendered into images and back to words highlights how perception evolves. In a time when social media is rife with frustration and defensiveness, this project asks the participants to set aside judgement and respond to another's world view with compassion, curiosity and/or a sense of humor. Local curator Chi Essary teamed up with Julia Dixon Evans, writer and KPBS/Arts Producer to select and match local artists and authors to play a game of telephone over the last year. The exhibition reveals how these layers of interpretation end up wildly different or surprisingly similar to the beginning, analogous to the challenges we face as human beings to relate to one another. Featuring works by Alanna Airitam, Wick Alexander, Animal Cracker Conspiracy, MR Barnadas, Phil Beaumont, Ryan Bradford, Carlos Castro Arias, Patrick Coleman, Marisa Crane, Hugo Crosthwaite, De la Torre Brothers, Sheena Rae Dowling, Julia Dixon Evans, Corey Lynn Fayman, Max Feye, Charles Glaubitz, Lily Hoang, Ari Honarvar, Marianella de la Hoz, Lizz Huerta, Beliz Iristay, Lindy Ivey, Kirsten Imani Kasai, Kiik Araki-Kawaguchi, John Purlia, Guro Silva, Jackie Dunn Smith, Miki Vale, and Perry Vasquez.

We all experience loss and grief in life, but most of us are never taught what to do with it. Sometimes we are told to "move on" or "get over it," or sometimes we find it easier to push aside our pain. The truth is, the most effective way to reduce the pain of loss is to face it. This half-day workshop presented by BELOVED Compassion Network will guide you in safely facing your pain and cultivating self-compassion for yourself in this difficult time. Certified Compassion Practice facilitator Nancy Fowler will lead this workshop integrating the contemplative, meditative steps of the Compassion Practice as a way to navigate the grief process, care for yourself as you face your pain, and heal after loss.
