Read on for roundups of events, but also a chance to get to know some of the creative people sharing their art with San Diego.San Diego artist Tarrah Aroonsakool is shown in her exhibit,"Through The Maze," at the Athenaeum Art Center in San Diego, Calif. on March 12, 2024.
She also wants visitors to find the maze disorienting, distracting, and a bit unsettling. This — and the bunched up tissue — speaks to the fragility of the American dream. An old, crumpled bag of potato chips, even if that exact brand wasn't the one you had in your home, still evokes a flash of recognition. Both the specificity and the shared origins of things, and the way ideas, memories, beliefs and tastes take root in a person, are interwoven in the maze.Tarrah Aroonsakool's large, sculptural wall installations depict centipedes, shown on March 12, 2024 in Logan Heights.
As visitors make their way through the maze, they'll see more prominent tufts of hair. Aroonsakool wanted to explore how anti-Blackness has historically thrived in Asian American communities. She knew this could mean a ramped-up sense of discomfort. Aroonsakool shares a studio space with a handful of other artists in North Park. Tucked behind a mechanic's garage, the space is unassuming and tidy but bursting with creativity.
