ABOUT VISIONS AT TWILIGHT:
Now in its 15th year, the Day of the Dead exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center offers a visually dense and stimulating environment of elaborate, traditional altars and multi-dimensional art installations where creativity leads the way to meaningful reflection. Inspired by cherished relationships, current events, and a breadth of cultural traditions, Bay Area artists utilize multifaceted, contemporary creative practices in Visions at Twilight: Día de los Muertos 2014.
Chosen by father and son curators René and Rio Yañez, the theme “Visions at Twilight” is evocative of the loss of culture and people being felt in the Bay Area now. This year the exhibition is dedicated to celebrated literary artists and activists Maya Angelou and Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, radio DJ Chata Gutierrez, and to musician and performer Holly Schneider, founder of Studio Grand, a nonprofit arts center in Oakland.
Following the opening, the exhibition remains on view through November 8th with several accompanying events and extended gallery hours.
