Yuri Yuan: A Thousand Ships

Embark on an emotional odyssey with Yuri Yuan's art exhibition 'A Thousand Ships' at Make Room. Drawing influence from Natalie Haynes' book, which reinterprets Homer's 'The Iliad' through the lens of its female characters, Yuan's paintings encapsulate the solitude and anticipation experienced during the Greeks' arduous return from the Trojan War. Available for viewing until February 2nd, this free exhibition promises a thoughtful and poignant exploration of longing and loneliness.

Bahia Reverb: Artists and Place

The California African American Museum unveils 'Bahia Reverb: Artists and Place,' a group show at Art + Practice. It features works by 10 artists who were once fellows at Bahia's Sacatar Institute in Brazil. The exhibition reflects upon Bahia's historical significance as a central hub of the African diaspora and an entry point during the transatlantic slave trade. The art pieces delve into themes such as forced migration, displacement, spirituality, history, and inequality. Witness this poignant connection to Bahia's past before the exhibition concludes on March 2nd.
