Go Tell It: Selections from MCASD's Collection
1100 and 1001 Kettner Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $10
This focused exhibition presents a group of works from the museum’s permanent collection that explore relationships between art and forms of political speech and protest. In his Go Tell It series, from which the exhibition takes its name, Mario Ybarra Jr. evokes the social activist as a lone figure, asking who has the ability to voice protest and who is there to hear it. Two pieces by Andrea Bowers draw inspiration from posters carried in demonstrations: a small drawing of a woman, singled out from a crowded protest, and a 13-foot drawing on cardboard that depicts Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty.
