Reminder >> Sangre de Nopal Opening Reception at Fowler Museum at UCLA Next Saturday, July 20th – Shuttle Service Announcement

Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB) and the Fowler Museum at UCLA, and part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide, Sangre de Nopal/Blood of the Nopal offers an expanded understanding of Indigenous cultivation of cochineal, an insect-derived red dye developed by the Zapotec peoples around 500 BC, and centers ancestral knowledge, technical experimentation, and brings a special focus to immigration and labor justice.

On Saturday, July 20th, the opening reception will feature a live performance by Filarmónica Maqueos Music in the spirit of Guelaguetza, the Zapotec word for offering or reciprocity. Join us for an Indigenous welcome, concert, and exhibition preview. Enjoy tacos de nopales from X’Tiosu Kitchen, paletas from Mateo’s, and a prickly pear cocktail sponsored by Xicaru Mezcal.

Join MCASB’s Fabián Leyva-Barragán, Co-Executive Director, on a special shuttle service leaving Santa Barbara at 2:30 pm and returning to Santa Barbara by 10:00pm (departing Fowler at 8pm). Cost is $100 per person, to register please contact development@mcasantabarbara.org, space is limited.
