Occupy Thirdspace III: The Park - Opening Reception

Occupy Thirdspace III: The Park tells the visual story of public and collective land use through the perspective of artists whose work has touched, traversed, and activated the site of Friendship Park. This historical landmark located at the westernmost end of our southern border, has been a meeting place and source of hope across divides, later a site of concentrated militarization. The objects in OTS III work together to resurrect the spirit of Friendship Park as a bridge, encounter, and neighborhood.

Featuring: Las Comadres, Art Made Between Opposite Sides (AMBOS), and Friends of International Friendship Park. Curated by Sara Solaimani and natalia ventura.

Join us for art, sound, and connection. Small bites and LIVE vinyl set by local DJ Betty Bangs. Sponsored by the Friends of the Central Library.
