SUMMARY:Dynamic Equilibrium: Berenice Abbott’s Documentary of the Invisible
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 15\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeakers: Sarah M. Miller\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Art History\, Mills College at Northeastern University\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nThe San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council is excited to welcome Sarah M. Miller\, Ph.D.\, who will explore how photographer Berenice Abbott’s unique theory of documentary photography was shaped by her experience amidst Europe’s photographic avant-gardes and her collaboration with American art critic Elizabeth McCausland. Abbott put this theory into practice in her WPA-sponsored project Changing New York (1935-39). But when she published the project in book form in 1939\, it was subjected to editorial censorship that made it impossible for readers understand its scope\, creativity\, message\, and political implications. Having recently reconstructed the photographer’s suppressed original manuscript for the book\, Miller will discuss what it reveals not only about Abbott’s sophisticated photography and her analysis of New York’s built environment\, but also about 1930s contests over the very meaning of “documentary.” \n  \nSee works by Berenice Abbott after the lecture in Berenice Abbott: Changing New York\, on view at The San Diego Museum of Art in Gallery 14/15 with entry near the Panama 66 restaurant. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world. Lectures are followed by docent-led virtual tours. \nSponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council. \n  \nFeatured: Berenice Abbott\, Metropolitan Life Building\, New York (detail)\, ca. 1935.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Deconstructing Cultural Imperialism in Art
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 14 \n1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT \nIn the past\, museums often told cultural stories from the point of view of one part of society\, disregarding a myriad of cultures and perspectives. Today there is an effort on the part of those institutions to rectify that. This tour will focus on the art of these often imperial cultures from the vantage point of people who are not always well-represented in museums. What else was going on in the world that we do not see in the art and why do we not see it? \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.

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
