✨ A Night of Art, Memory & Culture
Join us for an opening reception at one of San Jose’s most unique cultural spaces as we explore A Mi Manera / My Own Way—a textile exhibition celebrating Latino identity, tradition, and creative evolution.
Through quilting, embroidery, weaving, and garment-making, artists transform everyday materials into powerful stories of migration, family, memory, and belonging.
This is art rooted in lived experience—stitched with history, reimagined in the present.
