X: a Performance considers the significance of the letter X. From chromosome X to a time marker and void filler, Gabriela Ruiz explores the multiple uses and varying definitions of X. Ruiz works with multiple mediums including sound, film, sculpture, and installation. Her live performances use surprise, surrealism and elaborate installations to create rich visceral environments that contemplate emotion and meaning within culture and identity.

Collaborate is a FREE series of seven workshops conceived and taught by Occidental College students to 6-8th graders in the local community. Join us to see collages, photographs and multimedia works generated in this workshop and celebrate our local youth artists.

Spring 2020 Student Educators - Christina Carrera, Natalia Guerra, Habiba Hopson, Ariadne Makridakis, Sarah Ruiz, Hannah Sy, Kaylie Treskin, Jenn Xu

This year’s theme, Climate Change & Environmental Justice, reflects the UN's Sustainable Development Goal #13. The SDGs are a collection of 17 global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". They were set in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030.
