Subcultura Curation Launches Gallery Residency with Solo Exhibition by Fedella Lizeth Opening Night: Saturday, April 12, 2025 | 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. Location: Studio Culture, 2212 Main Street, San Diego, CA 92113 Subcultura Curation is proud to announce the launch of its first gallery residency at Studio Culture in the heart of Barrio Logan, kicking off with a solo exhibition by visual artist Fedella Lizeth. The show opens Saturday, April 12 and marks the beginning of an ongoing artist residency program that will center emerging and underground creatives from San Diego and beyond. Fedella Lizeth is known for her emotionally raw, personal, and texturally rich work. Her upcoming exhibition is a visual meditation on healing, identity, and transformation—created through experimentation with softness, sculptural forms, and nontraditional materials. Her work speaks in layers: some fragile, some bold, all deeply human. This event also marks the public launch of Subcultura Curation, a community-powered arts initiative founded by curator Bucky Montero. Built from years of organizing in alternative art spaces across Barrio Logan, Subcultura exists to uplift bold, underrepresented voices through exhibitions, residencies, archives, and storytelling. The residency and exhibition take place inside Studio Culture, a new creative hub home to Cult Studios—a growing force in San Diego’s arts and design community. With a full year of exhibitions and programs on deck, Studio Culture is quickly becoming a go-to destination for those seeking experimental, forward-thinking art experiences.
