When I Remember I See Red

When I Remember I See Red shows how contemporary Native American artists in California are reclaiming their identity and culture through provocative work that emphasizes the paradox of living in contradictory worlds, environmental issues, a commitment to remembering and more. Gallery hours: Wednesdays - Saturdays, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Reception: September 17, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m., featuring a performance by the Sweetwater Singers and a Muekma Ohlone welcome by Vincent Medina.
