Wednesday’s your chance to get a guided tour of the “Strange” at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, or BAMPFA.

Yañez and Quintanilla both discussed their hopes for the show’s impact on visiting audiences: “Ultimately, for the people that come see the show, I really want them to take away how accessible it is to really honor the dead and to create altars,” said Yañez.

On Oct. 12, the SOMArts Cultural Center, a nonprofit art enclave in the heart of San Francisco, opened its 19th annual exhibition in celebration of Día de los Muertos. The exhibit, brought to life the theme “Honoring our Ancestors by Fighting for the Future.”

At SOMArts, the Black woman is not disrespected, and she is not neglected. She is revered, examined in glory and illustrated honestly and vulnerably. She is God.

URBAN x INDIGENOUS IV: Unite the Tribes, or UxI, is a two-day community festival presented by the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center of San Francisco.

“Game Recognize Game” — the SOMArts Cultural Center’s newest exhibit — explores just that: how sports have been and can be more than just a game.

Although Día de los Muertos is meant to honor and celebrate those that have passed, it is a continual reminder that we owe it to those who came before us to make the world better for those who come after.

For the second year in a row, this SOMArts exhibit showcases artwork from more than 60 Black women in a traditionally male-dominated arena.
