Angels Gate Cultural Center presents the Upend Female Experience and Activism

Opening Reception is Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The exhibition runs through August 17, 2024.

UPEND  provides a response and counter to the increased societal distress of a return to toxic hypermasculinity, resulting in a growing acceptance of subjugation of women’s rights. By sharing the experiences of women, UPEND depicts strength and resistance in a decidedly female-identifying voice – upending expectations for what can and cannot be said, and how women should act.

The exhibition is curated by Cecelia Koger and features works by Kennedi Carter, Nonny de la Peña, Ibuki Kuramochi, Andrea Patrie, Elyse Pignolet, She Loves Collective, Suzanna Scott, Sheli Silverio, Kayla Tange.

The opening will feature a performance by She Loves Collective.

The event is free and open to the public. RSVP for free here!

We Live in Painting: The Nature of Color in Mesoamerican Art

Mesoamerican artists held a cosmic responsibility: as they adorned the surfaces of buildings, clay vessels, textiles, bark-paper pages, and sculptures with color, they (quite literally) made the world. Color mapped the very order of the cosmos, of time and space. The exhibition explores the science, art, and cosmology of color in Mesoamerica. See website for ticket prices and registration.
