SUMMARY:ANGER IS AN ENERGY: The Punk Alchemy of Miyo & Usen Print Editions
DESCRIPTION:ANGER IS AN ENERGY: The Punk Alchemy of Miyo & Usen Print Editions explores the themes of knowledge/connection with the land\, collaboration\, and experimentation in the printmaking and collaborative print projects of artists Miyo Stevens-Gandara and Usen Gandara. Based in Whittier\, California\, these master printmakers are pillars of the printmaking community in Los Angeles.  \nKnown for their attention to quality\, generosity of research spirit\, and a delicacy of technique capable of printerly punk alchemy\, this exhibition celebrates their devotion to the craft\, and their commitment to the community of printmakers on LA’s Eastside and beyond. Through curated exhibitions\, publications and handmade print portfolios\, the artist team have documented and exhibited printmakers from Indiana to Puerto Rico to East Los Angeles. The finely-made print portfolios\, as such\, are an immutable and movable platform for knowing\, sharing and making the worlds we hold in common; connecting us all to the broader graphic universe. \nCURATORIAL OVERVIEW HERE \nANGER IS AN ENERGY features collaborative works by: \nPável Acevedo\, Kay Brown\, Ada Pullini Brown\, Leslie Dolin\, Alex Fridrich-Ward\, Usen Gandara\, Miyo Stevens-Gandara\, Luis Genaro Garcia\, J.Leigh Garcia\, Natalie M.

SUMMARY:Los Muertos Workshop - Uptown Whittier
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on printmaking workshop led by artists Natalie Godinez and inspired by ancestral stories and memories. Participants are invited to create prints based on family legends and traditions. Prints may be added to a communal altar installation\, forming a collective tribute to ancestral stories. Materials provided. Event is free and open to the public. \nThis event is part of the ongoing MXCL BNL LAB program – the research arm of the MexiCali Biennial – that investigates themes around its upcoming program PARA/normal Borders. The LAB hosts rotating exhibitions\, public-facing humanities events\, the MB archive\, and the PARA/normal Borders Podcast. \nThis project was made possible with support from California Humanities\, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit www.calhum.org. \n\nNatalie M. Godinez (she/her/ella) is a Los Angeles-based artist\, educator\, and community advocate raised in Tijuana\, México. Her multidisciplinary practice—spanning textiles\, printmaking\, and collaborative projects—explores memory\, identity\, and the relationships between place and language. As a transborder dweller and immigrant mother\, Godinez reflects on her dual identities through written language\, visual metaphors\, and process-based art. Her work invites dialogue about shared experiences\, imagination\, and collective transformation. \nGodinez is a member of AMBOS Project (Art Made Between Opposite Sides)\, an artist-led initiative amplifying binational voices on border issues. She has exhibited at institutions including the Hammer Museum\, Sun Valley Museum of Art\, Vincent Price Art Museum\, San Diego State University Gallery\, Angel’s Gate Cultural Center\, and the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles. In 2025\, she served as Mass Creativity Artist in Residence at The New Children’s Museum and joined the Artists at Work 2025–26 cohort.
