Remembrance and Resistance: Mission Salon curated by David Kubrin

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Now in its 18th year, the annual Day of the Dead exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center offers one of the most internationally diverse Día de los Muertos celebrations in the United States. Merging traditional Mexican altars with contemporary art installations, the exhibition presents a superabundant array of perspectives remembering, honoring, and celebrating the dead. Inspired by cherished relationships, current events, and personal and collective histories, more than 25 altars by over 50 participating Día de los Muertos artists build a dense environment of creativity that creates space for meaningful reflection and community engagement.
Learn more about the exhibition and the curatorial vision behind this year’s theme.
In conjunction with this year’s Day of the Dead exhibition, SOMArts will partner with curator David Kubrin to bring the spirit of San Francisco’s Mission District to the exhibition. Featuring San Francisco Poet Laureate Kim Shuck with performances by Trio Cambio, Los Nadies, Josue Rojas, and Musical Art Quintet, this interactive salon will invite audience members to reflect on the importance of preserving and maintaining the cultural vibrancy of San Francisco.
A limited number of seats will be available for this special evening of performance. Advance tickets are highly recommended.
