Join us for the 1st workshop of a 3-part free art-making workshop series. In the series, we will be creating projects inspired by our current exhibition, everything was once something else, a solo exhibition by Roksana Pirouzmand. The first workshop focuses on Foil Embossed Stamps. We will make our own stamps out of familiar metal materials, inspired by Roksana Pirouzmand's exhibition.
Join OXY ARTS and the Occidental College English Department for an evening reading by Iranian-American poet, writer, and librettist Sholeh Wolpé.
Join us for an intimate in-gallery conversation between Roksana Pirouzmand and Candice Lin.
Both Pirouzmand and Lin have been Wanlass Artists in Residence at OXY ARTS, and this dialogue will reflect on their shared commitment to deep, reflective, materially driven work. The conversation will consider their shared approaches and influences, inherited histories, and reflections on pedagogy and mentorship.
What if we could compost the multiple lives within our single lifetime to grow a world? Join sound artist Umi Hsu for an evening of artist talk and concept-based activities that explore mushrooms, mycelium, and trans temporality. Umi Hsu will give a performance lecture introducing their practice that combines oral history, biomaterials, and worldmaking, while playing sounds on a living fungi synthesizer that they built.

Join us to celebrate the opening of the exhibition Roksana Pirouzmand: everything was once something else.
From the renowned Palestinian scholar, a memoir of political and queer awakening, of impossible love amidst generations of displacement, and what it means to return home.
Both a love story and a coming-of-age tale that spans countries and continents, Fire in Every Direction balances humor and loss, nostalgia and hope, as it takes us from the Middle East to London, and from 1948 to the present. Tareq Baconi crafts a deeply intimate, unforgettable portrait of how a political consciousness—desire and resistance—is passed down through generations.
In this fall's Making Space series – free, all-ages community art workshops – participants will create projects inspired by the current exhibition Flesh of the Forest.
Stay tuned for the themes of all three workshops:
Saturday, September 20 | 1-4pm
Saturday, October 11 | 1-4pm
Saturday, November 15 | 1-4pm
This iteration of Making Space is facilitated by Blue Reinhard.
NOTE: All artists under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
