Mandeville Art Gallery Opening ARE WE NOT DRAWN ONWARD TO NEW ERA

The UC San Diego Department of Visual Arts ranks among the world’s leading art schools. Founded on the principle that the production, critical analysis and history of art are inter-related activities, we offer undergraduate and graduate programs in both art practice and art history. Our students have the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in the sciences, engineering, literature, music, philosophy, ethnic studies and all the vast initiatives and resources of the greater university.

The exhibition marks the grand reopening of the Mandeville Art Gallery after a period of closure for extensive renovation.The exhibition highlights recent projects by faculty artists within the context of the defining forces of our moment, such as continued struggles for equity and social justice, accelerating climate change, threats to democracy, and rapid technological developments. The featured photographs, moving images, paintings, sculptures, and performances address both the possibilities and the complexities of this new era, and offer a distinct sense of hope for the future. The title ARE WE NOT DRAWN ONWARD TO NEW ERA is a reference to a poster by Las Hermanas Iglesias, a collaborative project by Assistant Professor Janelle Iglesias and her sister Lisa Iglesias, copies of which are free for visitors to take away during the run of the show.
