UCSB MULTICULTURAL CENTER PRESENTS: ART EXHIBITION RECEPTION – THIS IS AMERICA: ART AS PROTEST
ZONELYSSE
TUE, MAY 06, 6:00 PM
MCC LOUNGE
The MCC’s Spring Art Exhibit’s theme, This Is America: Art as Protest, is a showcase that sparks critical conversations about the current political climate—both on campus and across the nation. This exhibit seeks to highlight critical conversations on pressing issues such as gun violence, immigration, and the ongoing fight for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Featuring Zonelysse as the Artist-in-Residence, This Is America challenges us to reflect, question, and engage with the realities shaping our communities today. Join us in this powerful exploration of art as activism, resistance, and storytelling.
Exhibition: April 7 to June 6
