Sethi\n\n  \nNisha Kaur Sethi is an artist and activist currently working as a professional sign painter. Early on\, Nisha developed a passion for typography and was deeply influenced by childhood trips to India\, where she was exposed to the fascinating world of hand-painted film posters. Back home in the Bay Area\, Nisha was brought up in the graffiti scene\, gravitating towards street art with powerful messages. She continues to create work that speaks to her hybrid identity and is currently creating alongside her Oakland-based artist crew Trust Your Struggle Collective. She is also a printmaker and clothing designer\, which allows her work to be manifested as wearable art. Nisha’s bold\, neon beveled letters pay homage to Indian sign painters while spelling out messages for a better\, brighter future. \n  \nDOTURMINDS\n\n  \nDOTURMINDS (Dot Your Minds) is a local art and mindfulness group that aims to help people gain clarity\, confidence\, and purpose by tapping into their core strength to gain balance and contentment in their daily lives through Indian dot art called rangoli. Rangoli is an ancient Indian art form of multi-colored sand used to create floor decorations symbolizing wealth\, joy\, and prosperity\, as well as thanksgiving to deities. A rangoli pattern is made of unbroken lines to prevent evil spirits from penetrating through gaps. Popular designs include geometric shapes\, peacock motifs\, floral designs\, and faces of Hindu gods. The patterns are passed down from one generation to the next with families placing these hand-created designs at the threshold of the home or near the altar area. DOTURMINDS will be onsite at Bloom Bash performing live rangoli art for attendees to experience and discuss this traditional South Asian art form. \n  \n\nBloom Bash Chairs\n\n\nRobin Wilson Carrier\nMitch Mitchell\nMicki Olin\nRhianna White\n\nEvent Partners\nAbove Board\nBücha Hard Kombucha\nBright Event Rentals\nClear Channel Outdoor\nColdwell Banker West Foundation\nEco-Products\nLiquid Death\nLocals Only Vodka\nNeurocrine Biosciences\nPNC Bank\nRincon Reservation Road Brewery\nSDAV\nTito’s Handmade Vodka \n\nBloom Bash Sponsors\n         \n  \n                                   \n  \n                                 \n\nSweet & Savory Station Sponsors\n\n  \nA+M Catering\nAdelaide at L’Auberge Del Mar\nAnnapurna Indian Cuisine\nARLO San Diego\nARTIFACT at Mingei\nBarrel & Board\nBelmont Park\nBethlehem Baking Co.\nBivouac Ciderworks\nBooks and Records\nCHiPZ HAPPEN\nCravory Cookies\nCute Cakes\nDang Brother Pizza\nDel Frisco’s Steakhouse\nThe Desmond\nEclipse Chocolate\nHarvest Kitchen\nIndia Palace\nJolie Coronado\nKairoa Brewing Co\nMargaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter\nThe Mini Donut Company\nNaturally Desi\nPanama 66\nPiper\nPretzels & Pints\nSweet Petite Confections\nSwoonful Cotton Candy\nTerra Catering & Events\nTidal Restaurant at Paradise Point Resort\nTom Ham’s Lighthouse\nTurmeric Hut\nVistal Bar + Restaurant\nThe Wild Thyme Company

SUMMARY:Ottoman Influences on Islamic Batik from Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 30\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Thomas Murray\, independent researcher\, collector\, lecturer\, and private art dealer\nVirtual Event \n  \nThroughout the Indonesian archipelago\, calligraphic batik textiles have been used during sacred ceremonies. Such cloths were made primarily in Jambi\, located in west Sumatra\, Indonesia\, but were also known from the North Coast region of Java\, Indonesia. The batik textiles were patterned by a hand-painted wax resist called tulis. These batiks absorbed stylistic influences from the outside world through trade\, pilgrimage\, and politics. \nOttoman influences on batik kaligrafi include the use of a tugra\, the official signature of the Ottoman emperor\, as an icon. With many layers of meaning\, it served as a statement of political alliance\, but also as a talismanic device. One need not be literate to recognize the power of such a striking graphic device to ward off the evil eye. \nThis lecture will offer a review of the long relationship between Indonesia and Turkey from the 16th century forward; consider the role of spice trade economics on European colonialism and Islamic local resistance; and finally\, survey all forms of calligraphic batik\, offering a new interpretation of their purpose\, which suggests these cloths may have originated earlier than previously identified\, and how this tradition continues in an interesting and unexpected ways. \n  \nSpeaker Bio: \nThomas Murray is an independent researcher\, collector\, lecturer\, and private dealer of Asian and tribal art with an emphasis on Indonesian sculpture and textiles\, as well as animistic art from other varied cultures. A HALI magazine Contributing Editor for the last 30 years\, he serves as their in-house consultant on ethnographic textiles and has featured in more than 50 publications. His most recent books\, “Textiles of Japan\,” “Rarities From the Himalayas to Hawaii\,” and “Textiles of Indonesia\,” were met with critical acclaim. Thomas Murray is past President of ATADA\, the Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association and served a three-year term as a member of President Obama’s Cultural Property Advisory Committee at the State Department. In a letter from the White House\, President Obama said\, “This dedicated individual brings a wealth of experience and talent to his new role and I am proud to have him serve in the months and years to come.” Thomas Murray continues to consult with museums and private clients all over the world. He lives in California. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Agents of Power
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 9th \n1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT \n  \nThe rich and diverse body adornment traditions among peoples across the African continent are essential aspects of cultural expression\, creativity\, identity\, and heritage. Elements such as performance\, sculpture\, and beadwork collectively illustrate each group’s social status\, spiritual support\, military strength\, and individual cultural aesthetic. Through a selection of Maasai\, Chokwe\, Zulu\, and Xhosa works from the Mesa College World Art Collection and The San Diego Museum of Art\, this exhibition examines how art that represents the body or is meant to be worn on the body serves as an agent of power. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place. Space is limited. \nReserve my spot! \n\nHosted by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council. \nFeatured: Barbara Tate\, Maasai Warrior\, 1983 (detail).
