PRE/POST-SHOW EVENT EXPERIENCES:
POST SECRET
The San Diego Museum of Man’s PostSecret Street Team will invite guests to participate in their “pop-up” postcard-making station. This project is in association with the SDMoM’s current exhibition featuring San Diego’s beautiful, raw, and moving secrets – written on postcards. The artfully-crafted postcards are mailed to PostSecret founder Frank Warren, and each week he selects and arranges a composition of secrets for his award-winning blog. To date, the project has received over a million submissions, some of which have been displayed at the White House and featured in six best-selling books.

The Soviet Poster Show collection was created in 1988 for the San Diego Soviet Arts Festival.This exhibition isa nod to the end of the Cold War… and its tremendous effect on Nineties culture.
