For the exhibition Christina Fernandez: Multiple Exposures, assistant curator Juan Omar Rodriguez will lead a conversation with exhibiting artist Christina Fernandez and writer, educator, and co-founder of Eastside Magazine, Rosanna Alvarez. Fernandez and Alvarez will share their approaches to storytelling and reflect on the politics of attending to our communities, from Los Angeles to the Bay Area.

Creative Minds—SJMA’s premier Artist Talk series—allows audiences a chance to experience creatives in action by hearing directly from artists about their process and practice.
