Join artist and writer Matthew Valdivia on Saturday, November 14 at 1 PM for a walkthrough of his photographic series in Blood Memory, followed by an ekphrastic poetry workshop.
Created for the exhibition, Valdivia’s portraits and participants’ personal reflections explore Indigenous blood memory across tribal nations in the San Diego region. Hear about his approach to the project, then spend time writing in response to artworks in the galleries.

Make a museum visit part of your Native American Heritage Month.
Come experience Blood Memory at CCAM, and bring your students! Guided field trips are available Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings, with visits scheduled between 9am and noon.
The exhibition connects with the Indigenous stories and artwork at San Diego Central Library, creating opportunities to explore across both locations. Through observation, reflection, and discussion, students can connect what they discover at the Library with what they encounter at the downtown museum: Whose voices are we hearing? What can a story teach us about a place? How does an artwork change our understanding?
We’re grateful to the artists and storytellers who share their knowledge, to CCAM’s curator for bringing these stories into the museum, and to Central Library, NewCity America, Prebys, and Downtown San Diego Partnership for helping make this work possible.
Educators and community groups: message us (or sign up at the link in our bio) to arrange a guided visit. We’d love to welcome you.

Blood Memory examines how ancestral knowledge and cultural memory continue to shape the present through contemporary art practices. Centering the work of Native and Indigenous artists working across painting, sculpture, fashion, film, and photography, the exhibition explores the body as a site of memory, reciprocal relationships with land, and the power of reclaiming historical narratives.
Spend time with Blood Memory at the California Center for the Arts Museum in Escondido. Admission is free.
Wednesday–Saturday: 10 AM–5 PM
Sunday: 1–5 PM
Closed Monday and Tuesday.
On view through February 28, 2027.

Blood Memory is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation, the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians, and the California Center for the Arts Charitable Trust.

José Hugo Sánchez: Amoxtlis is on view through August 16.
Through monumental works on paper, engraved wood sculpture, and video, Sánchez draws from Mesoamerican codices to examine migration, cultural continuity, and the borders imposed across land and communities.
At the center of the exhibition are 20 suspended banners from the artist’s Codices Bilaterales series, accompanied by works that reference the Tōnalpōhualli, the 260-day Mexica calendar. Together, they connect ancestral visual languages with contemporary experiences of movement, displacement, and belonging.
See Amoxtlis at the California Center for the Arts Museum for just one more weekend. Visit us today from 11 AM–5 PM or Sunday from 1–5 PM for your last chance to experience the exhibition.
