SUMMARY:Maryam Bayat: Unrolling Paradise
DESCRIPTION:The California Center for the Arts\, Escondido presents Unrolling Paradise\, an exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Maryam Bayat that examines the Persian garden as a living design tradition carried through textiles\, memory\, and everyday objects. Working at the intersection of craft and design\, Bayat transforms traditional Persian rugs into sculptural forms\, including furniture\, abstract trees\, and domestic structures that reflect on place and belonging. \n\n\n\nRaised in Tehran in a family of rug producers and now based in North County San Diego\, Bayat draws from inherited craft knowledge to reinterpret a visual language shaped by symmetry\, geometry\, and floral pattern. In Persian culture\, gardens are often understood as earthly representations of paradise; their ordered layouts are reflected in the design of carpets\, which have historically functioned as portable sanctuaries that brought the idea of paradise into the home. Bayat extends this lineage\, connecting the symbolism of the garden to personal and collective memory. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition builds on the Museum’s growing partnership with Persian Place\, a Carlsbad-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to celebrating Persian art and culture through inclusive\, multicultural programs that foster cross-cultural understanding and community connection.  \n\n\n\nThe public opening will coincide with Nowruz – Persian New Year\, co-presented with Persian Place on March 14\, 2026\, from 12–3 PM at the Museum. \n\n\n\nWhile many Persian organizations across the United States have chosen to cancel programs in response to the current situation in Iran\, the Museum and Persian Place remain committed to honoring Nowruz\, a tradition that has endured for thousands of years and continues to hold deep cultural meaning for the community. \n\n\n\nOpening March 14\, 2026\, 12pm – 3pmOn view March 14\, 2026 – August 16\, 2026\n\n\n\nCA Center for the Arts\, Escondido340 N.

SUMMARY:The Seed Keeper / El Guardián de las Semillas
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Diane Wilson’s novel The Seed Keeper\, this exhibition explores the concept of seeds as both a material presence and a powerful metaphor—an archive of memory\, resilience\, and future. Presented in collaboration with the Oceanside Public Library as part of the community-wide program The Big Read\, the exhibition extends the novel’s themes into a visual and spatial experience. In Indigenous worldviews\, seeds carry more than sustenance; they hold stories\, languages\, ancestral knowledge\, and responsibilities passed orally from generation to generation. \n\n\n\nThrough diverse materials and practices\, these Native American female artists act as contemporary seed keepers by preserving stories\, traditions\, and ways of knowing that have survived displacement\, erasure\, and transformation. Their works speak to continuity rather than nostalgia\, emphasizing living cultures rooted in care\, reciprocity\, and resistance. \n\n\n\nExhibition Celebration: Tuesday\, April 7\, 5:30-7:00pm.On view March 27 – June 21Oceanside Museum of Art704 Pier View WayOceanside\, CA 92054

SUMMARY:Cafés and Cabarets: The Spectacular Art of Toulouse-Lautrec
DESCRIPTION:Known for his beguiling portraits of Paris nightlife and the unvarnished local characters of Montmartre\, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born into an aristocratic family in the South of France in 1864. Growing up as a child with a disability that caused his legs to stop developing\, Toulouse-Lautrec turned to drawing rather than the sports his family pursued. His short but celebrated career immortalized the cabaret culture of Belle Époque Paris and revolutionized the art of the poster. Working in the popular and modern art form of the color lithograph\, Toulouse-Lautrec reached unprecedented audiences with spellbinding visuals and eye-catching colors. Inspired and encouraged by Impressionists such as Edgar Degas and his close friend Vincent van Gogh\, and taking influence from the flattened color patterns of Japanese graphic arts\, Toulouse-Lautrec left an unforgettable image of the spectacle\, people\, and performers of turn-of-the-century Paris. \n\n\n\nThe San Diego Museum of Art1450 El Prado Balboa ParkSan Diego\, CA 92101

SUMMARY:David Adey: Sacrificial Bodies
DESCRIPTION:As the first comprehensive mid-career survey of San Diego artist \, this exhibition traces more than 25 years of a creative practice defined by a persistent exploration of what it means to inhabit a human body in an era of perpetual image culture and accelerating technology.  Curated by Mark Quint of in La Jolla\, the exhibition brings together Adey’s most iconic works alongside rarely seen experiments—revealing an artist who continually adopts emerging technologies only to subject them to intense discipline and constraint. \n\n\n\nAs a full-time professor of Art & Design at Point Loma Nazarene University with a background in graphic design\, Adey’s approach has been described as a hybrid of a mad scientist and engineer. His early work utilized craft punches and laser cutting to dissect advertising and celebrity imagery\, while more recent pieces have incorporated 3D scanning\, custom electronics\, and digitally altered corporeal forms. The results are sculptures that are visually seductive and unsettling\, yet intellectually probing\, hovering between the material and the metaphysical. Across decades of work\, Adey returns persistently to themes of identity\, fragmentation\, transcendence\, and the body’s dual status as sacred vessel and cultural commodity. His sculptures embody the tension of contemporary life: the pull between intimacy and spectacle\, the personal and the universal\, technological precision and human vulnerability. \n\n\n\nOceanside Museum of Art704 Pier View WayOceanside\, CA 92054

SUMMARY:Decoding DaVinci
DESCRIPTION:Decoding DaVinci is an immersive theatrical adventure inspired by the pulse-pounding world of The Da Vinci Code and the bestselling thrillers of Dan Brown—a thrilling race against time where the audience becomes part of the story. \n\n\n\nParticipants are plunged into a real-life conspiracy\, tasked with infiltrating a powerful secret society before ruthless enemies destroy it forever. But this isn’t a traditional escape room confined by four walls. The UC San Diego campus becomes the game board. Hidden clues lie buried in plain sight within landmarks you pass every day—statues\, fountains\, monuments\, park benches\, alleyways—all transformed into pieces of an intricate living puzzle. \n\n\n\nPart scavenger hunt\, part immersive theater\, part outdoor escape room\, Decoding DaVinci turns the UC San Diego campus into a cinematic adventure where every corner could hold the next revelation…or the next betrayal.

SUMMARY:Amoxtlis
DESCRIPTION:José Hugo Sánchez: Amoxtlis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmoxtlis—the Nahuatl word for “codices”—centers Sánchez’s large-scale printmaking practice\, which draws from the visual language of Mesoamerican codices while engaging the cultural and political conditions of the U.S.–Mexico border. At the heart of the installation is Codex Tonalpohualli\, a series of towering printed banners that reference the twenty day signs of the divinatory calendar of the sun. In this calendar\, time unfolds through cycles of thirteen days associated with birth and renewal. Sánchez translates this structure into an immersive environment: carved wooden codices are printed in red and black ink on monumental sheets of paper measuring sixteen feet high. Suspended from ceiling to floor\, the banners surround the viewer\, creating a dense vertical landscape that evokes a forest of signs and symbols. The exhibition also includes video work\, eight large-scale carved wooden sculptures\, and a mural created on the gallery wall during the exhibition’s run. These elements extend Sánchez’s exploration of narrative image-making across multiple forms\, from print and sculpture to moving image and architectural intervention. Throughout the installation\, references to popular culture intersect with mythic imagery and historical forms of knowledge transmission. \n\n\n\nCalifornia Center for the Arts\, Escondido340 North Escondido BoulevardEscondido\, CA 92025

SUMMARY:Adult Storytime
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Eric Garcia’s Uncle Scotchy’s Blues Opera\, also known as The Blues Opera\, Adult Storytime is a stirring collection of autobiographical monologues that explore the hardships and unexpected humor of caring for those we love across every stage of life. Set against a live blues composition that pulses beneath each story\, the piece weaves music and memory into a richly textured theatrical experience. Drawing from her own storied journey as a caregiver to her four children\, including triplets\, to her mother\, and shaped by the voices of relatives\, coworkers\, peers\, and members of the public\, Gobel crafts an intimate mosaic of testimony. Humor lives beside grief. Tenderness shares space with frustration. The result is a portrait of caregiving that is as complex and contradictory as love itself. Throughout the evening\, guests are welcomed to reflect on and share their own stories\, creating a communal space for truth telling and connection. Blending vulnerability with musical virtuosity\, Adult Storytime offers blues through the weight of hesitation\, laughter in recognition\, and perhaps your own story illuminated on stage. \n\n\n\nLight Box Theatre- 2590 Truxtun Rd #205San Diego\, CA 92106

SUMMARY:Cat Gunn: if only by the light of a new moon
DESCRIPTION:Cat Gunn’s first solo museum exhibition\, if only by the light of a new moon\, explores the complex terrain of inherited memory and the seemingly impossible nostalgia for a home that one has never known through materials including fabric\, ceramics\, and cyanotypes. This experience\, familiar to immigrants\, first-generation children\, and anyone displaced by colonialism\, war\, or occupation\, forms the emotional core of Gunn’s deeply personal investigation into family history. Gunn is ICA San Diego’s 2025 Artist-in-Residence.

SUMMARY:SDAF Design Film Series ~ Architecton
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete\, and its ancestor\, stone. Victor Kossakovsky raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow? \n\n\n\nFrom filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda\, Aquarela) comes an epic\, intimate\, and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and a way forward. Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi\, Kossakovsky uses the perfect circle of stones in De Lucchi’s garden to reflect on the rise and fall of civilizations\, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon\, dating back to AD 60\, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies\, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed. \n\n\n\nJune 25 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
