The show is now thru Dec. 17) at the City Gallery (building AH314) at San Diego City College, 1508 C Street).  Show closes Dec. 17.

            By addressing “the local” these artists hope to shed light on global issues of public space, neighborhood, and civic culture.

North Park resident Lynn Susholtz/Stone Paper Scissors is presenting 4 interactive projects that highlight community engagement in several San Diego neighborhoods.  These participatory pieces are an ongoing collaboration with City College Art Dept. and Crawford High School New Arrival students.  Students and gallery participants share their stories and memories from their home countries and experiences of community, gallery participants will have the opportunity to engage in a gift exchange- considering how objects embody meaning and history, and you will join your “new neighbors” in a giant board game and collectively build public space.

Gallery hours: 12-4pm, Tues, Wed, Thurs
