Books & Art: Castañeda Sobremesa Session

Saturdays, October 18, October 21, November 15, and December 16
10:30–11:45 a.m.
The San Diego Museum of Art Library

Join Museum educators for a special workshop inspired by the practice of sobremesa, cherished by artist Alfredo Castañeda. Sobremesa refers to the moments when a meal extends into lingering conversation, when guests talk, listen to music, and reflect on life and ideas.

This workshop invites participants to gather in community, engage in both prompted and organic conversation, and take part in an art-making activity inspired by Castañeda’s work and practice. Poetry and storytelling, central to Castañeda’s sobremesas, will guide the flow of dialogue, sparking creativity and connection.

Please RSVP to save your spot. Registration is limited to 15 people. Entry to The San Diego Museum of Art Library is near the Panama 66 restaurant entrance.

Registration is limited to 15 people. Museum admission not included. Artists under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop.
