The second annual exhibition to commemorate Day of the Dead will be held at the Sausalito Art Center, which will also serve to raise funds for the center.
The exhibition, Milagros y Memorias, opened its doors to the public on October 5 and will conclude on November 10. The exhibition is held with the goal of highlighting the work of Latin American artists from the San Francisco Bay Area and sharing the art and spirit of Mexican-American artists.
It is important to highlight that one of the most prolific opportunities for contemporary Mexican art to express itself is during the celebrations of the “Day of the Dead.”
During this special exhibition to commemorate the Day of the Dead, works by Alfonso Ximénez, Antonio Bonilla, Carmen Lomas García, Calixto Robles, David Alfaro, Emanuel Montoya, Emanuel Paniagua, Ester Hernández, Jamex Einar, José Luis Cuevas, Josefina Bates, Juan Fuentes, Juana Alisa Ariza, Lila Neinja, Michael Ríos, Michael Roman, Otto Aguilar, Raúl Agiano, Rufino Tamayo, Tirzo Araiza, and Wilfredo Lam will be on display.
Participating artists include Juan Fuentes and Calixto Robles, who, while each is different and unique, as artists of vision and dedication, both embrace the rich cultural tapestry of the Americas that extends far beyond Mexico. This Day of the Dead art celebration will be this Oct. 26, starting at 5 p.m., at the art center located at 750 Bridgeway, Sausalito.

Indómitas: Live podcast with guest Alba Guerra
Indómitas is a monthly live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring the indomitable voices of fierce female artists and activists.
For the podcast of the month of October 2024, Indómitas presents Alba Guerra, restaurateur, warrior, and beloved Indómita of Calle 24.
Alba Guerra is originally from El Salvador and came to the United States in the late 80s during the civil war.
Like many immigrants, she came loaded with dreams and hopes for a better future. After working in restaurants, she ended up having her own business, the restaurant “Sunrise,” which not only brought well-being to her and her family but also to her community, to the people of the Mission neighborhood.
Sunrise was more than a restaurant, it was a community space where events were held to raise funds for organizations and support just causes to which Alba generously donated a percentage of her sales. After Covid she had to close it, however Alba continues to work for and with her community on 24th Street and the Mission neighborhood.
The invitation is to learn about what Alba Guerra is made of, her story, her childhood, what she is like as a sister, mother and partner.
It is important to note that the live podcast will be held in Spanish, and will take place this Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 8 p.m., at 2765 24th St, San Francisco.
