Join us at San José Museum of Art for an evening celebrating the launch of the Seeing through Stone catalog, edited by curators Gina Dent, Lauren Dickens, and Rachel Nelson. Experience the creative abolitionist imaginary and world-building underway by people directly impacted by incarceration through a conversation featuring Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos Founder Nane Alejandrez and artists Caleb Duarte, Sonny Trujillo, and Frank Alejandrez, and a performance proposal, A Long Line of Strong Women (Weaving through Time), organized by artist Gabriela Golder. 

6pm: Conversation:  Nane Alejandrez, Director and Founder, Santa Cruz Barrios Unidos with artists Caleb Duarte, Sonny Trujillo, and Frank Alejandrez

7pm: Performance: A Long Line of Strong Women (Weaving through Time) organized by artist Gabriela Golder with Marissa Guzman, Ksenia Fir, Diana Alejandrez, Lisa Alejandrez, and Nancy Alejandrez

A limited number of exhibition catalogs will be available for purchase at the Museum Store.
