SUMMARY:ReGen Artist Fund: Queer Fandanguito Series by Evelyn Donají Arellano
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is excited to present the Queer Fandanguito Series led by ReGen Artist Fund grantee Evelyn Donají Arellano with the Son Jarocho group Corazón de Cedro.  \n\n\n\nSon Jarocho is a lyrical-musical tradition from México’s Sotavento region with deep African\, Indigenous and Arab-Andalusian influences. The Fandango\, where Son Jarocho is played\, is a communal musical celebration rooted in resistance and collective liberation. Like many oral and folk traditions\, it passes down ancestral histories and knowledge while offering a structure for recording our own experiences.  \n\n\n\nOutside of México\, the Fandango has become a way for migrant communities to find and support one another. In the San Francisco Bay Area\, the melodies and rhythms of different diasporic musical traditions have become intertwined\, offering a common language for cross-cultural connection.  \n\n\n\nThe Queer Fandanguito Series invites us to queer the Fandango and imagine a tarima free of heteronormativity\, where queer dance expressions are celebrated. This musical series aims to foster meaningful connection\, cultural preservation\, and cross-border solidarities for our diasporic\, queer\, and femme communities.  \n\n\n\nJoin us Saturday\, November 15 in celebrating queer musical expressions while remaining rooted in the folk traditions of our homelands. May our traditions continue to restore our spirits and strengthen our fight for our peoples’ collective liberation. \n\n\n\nBring your instruments and dancing shoes and join us on the tarima. All levels of musical experience are welcomed!

Returning to host and curate our Fall lineup is Mission homeboy and writer Norman Zelaya. \n\n\n\nGalería is excited to close this season of Lunada Literary Lounge by spotlighting a special literary project\, Speaking in tongues/ Hablando en lenguas. \n\n\n\nSpeaking in tongues/ Hablando en lenguas emerged in April of 2023 as a literary journey\, wherein Mexican and Chicanx poets embarked on a tour of five Mexican cities: Monterrey\, San Luis Potosí\, Querétaro\, León and Mexico City. Speaking in tongues/ Hablando en lenguas is now presented as a collection of four books that integrate duos of Mexican and Chicanx poets\, who all move between Spanish\, English and Spanglish. These three languages and their speeches declare and manifest themselves on all sides of the Mexico-US border. These eight poetics coincide in themes of migration\, land\, border\, language\, politics\, love\, and more. \n\n\n\nFeaturing Aideed Medina\, hector son of hector\, Josiah Luis Alderete\, and Lourdes Figueroa\, these poets will bring their contributions to this literary project to share with Lunada audience.  \n\n\n\nOpen Mic is available on a first come first serve basis\, sign ups will be at the door. Don’t be shy and share your work. \n\n\n\nFree admission. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE FEATURES \n\n\n\n\nAideed Medina is Pushcart Prize-nominated poet\, award-winning spoken word artist and playwright\, and is the author of 31 Hummingbird: A Suite of Poems (Editorial Xingao\, 2023) and Segmented Bodies (Prickly Pear Press\, 2024).

Currently he tends the 24th street portal as one of the owners of Medicine For Nightmares Bookstore & Galeria and resides in North Richmond where he is waiting for Quetzalquatl to arrive. \n\n\n\n\n\nLourdes Figueroa is a queer chicanx oral poet & an award winning poetry filmmaker whose work reflects her family’s experiences in el azadón— tilling the soil under the sun\, in Yolo County.

SUMMARY:Bay Windows: Illuminating Immigrant Women’s Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Logo by Christine Wong Yap. \n\n\n\nGalería de la Raza is proud to partner with artist Christine Wong Yap to present Bay Windows: Illuminating Immigrant Women’s Perspectives from December 11\, 2025 through March 11\, 2025\, a decentralized public art display featuring fifteen sculptural lanterns. The lanterns will be exhibited in the storefronts of five community-facing organizations in Chinatown and the Mission District. Each lantern is based on a papercut by a working-class\, Chinese or Latina immigrant woman with limited English proficiency and limited access to the arts. Their imagery conveys narratives at the intersection of lived experience and social and political issues—including immigrant’s rights\, worker’s rights\, the cost of living\, affordable housing\, public safety\, and mental health—as well as what the women have done or could do to address those issues.  \n\n\n\nThe lanterns are the culmination of Bay Windows / Ventanas en saliente / 窗花\, a trilingual\, cross-cultural social practice project led by Yap\, the daughter of Chinese immigrants. For this project\, Yap received a 2025 Creative Capital Award\, as well as additional support from the Zellerbach Family Foundation and others. This is Yap’s second project engaging this multigenerational cohort of women. Her first\, in 2023\, was the first contemporary art project in the history of the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade\, which dates back to the 1850s.  \n\n\n\nEach lantern will be accompanied by a trilingual statement by its designer\, along with a link to a subtitled video interview\, so that audiences can see and hear the participant speaking in her native language about what her papercut represents and how the process was for her. By creating and displaying lanterns and papercuts\, Yap aims to bridge the two largest immigrant groups in San Francisco\, who together comprise nearly 40% of the City’s population. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the lanterns—which will be visible for free to passersby 24/7 for three months—Galería de la Raza is slated to host a display about the project in its foyer beginning in December 2025\, while the original paper cuts will be shown at the Chinese Culture Center’s Design Store starting in January 2026.  \n\n\n\nYap\, the five partner organizations\, and the 15 collaborating designers will co-host a free scavenger hunt during the day on Saturday\, January 24\, 2026 between 11 am and 2pm. On that day\, the public will be invited to visit the 15 lanterns for the chance to win prizes. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE LEAD ARTISTChristine Wong Yap (she/her) is a visual artist and social practitioner who gathers and amplifies grassroots perspectives on belonging and mental well being. Her project\, “How I Keep Looking Up / Como Sigo Mirando Arriba / 仰望\,” resulted in the first contemporary art project in the history of the 150-year-old San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade.  \n\n\n\nCOLLABORATING DESIGNERSAiLan Xie 謝愛蘭\, Cammi XingYu Huang 黃幸瑜\, ChunMei “Amay” Cao 曹春梅\, DanLi Xu 許丹麗\, Lidia “Lupita” Iraheta\, Marcela Escamilla\, Mayra Alfaro\, MiaoFen Guan 關妙芬\, Nadia Rodriguez\, Selina Luo 羅玉蓮\, Tomasa Ramirez\, YongYu “Ah Yu” Lei 雷泳瑜\, YongYu “Yoyo” Situ 司徒咏瑜\, YuJuan “Ah Juan” Chen 陳玉娟\, Yurisma Gonzalez \n\n\n\nMADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROMCreative CapitalZellerbach Family FoundationNational Endowment for the ArtsA Blade of GrassAsian\, Inc.

SUMMARY:On view: The Living Altars by Ivan Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is proud to present The Living Altars by ReGen Artist Fund grantee\, Ivan Lopez. The Living Altars is a public art project consisting of six outdoor sculptures inviting our Mission community to pause\, reflect\, and contribute by interacting with the sculpture in a public space. Rooted in the belief that words and images have the power to shape our dreams\, our healing\, and the future of our neighborhood\, visitors can engage with the accompanying medicinal plant and can contribute to the shared journals at each sculpture. Over time\, the altar becomes a living archive—a collective vision built from the hopes\, dreams\, and voices of our neighbors. The six sculptures are stewarded by local businesses along Mission Street to encourage the public to reflect on their relationship with the commons\, public space\, and community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit each sculpture on Mission Street and contribute to the shared journals! Follow the map above for a self-guided tour of the project.

SUMMARY:The AO Series - Alexa Treviño & Anthony Jimenez
DESCRIPTION:Galería de la Raza is proud to present Part One of The AO Series\, the first installment of a three-part exhibition celebrating the culmination of the ReGen Artist Fund Cohorts 1 and 2. \n\n\n\nThe AO Series represents a significant investment in San Francisco’s creative arts sector\, directly funding 15 artists and regranting $250K over the past two years. This series highlights the work of six grantees\, offering the public an opportunity to experience the depth\, regenerative spirit\, and at times collaborative nature of each artist’s completed body of work. \n\n\n\nThese projects were made possible through the ReGen Artist Fund\, a small grants program that pairs financial support with professional development. In addition to funding\, participating artists receive training in grant writing and program planning\, equipping them to develop competitive proposals for future opportunities. The fund is as much a commitment to artistic growth as it is to community investment. Encouraged to think critically about how art can reshape societal narratives\, these artists examine their roles as cultural bearers while addressing stories and perspectives often overlooked in today’s politically charged climate. \n\n\n\nThrough exploring portraiture through traditional painting and technology\, in this series\, artists Alexa Treviño and Anthony Jimenez explore how we carry and honor family and community\, memories\, and place.  \n\n\n\nJoin us in celebrating the kick off of The Artist Oeuvres\n\n\n\nOpening \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026  \n\n\n\n7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

She inherited her singing talent from her family at a young age and as she grew and honed her vocal skills\, she began to branch out into the world of rap at age 15.  \n\n\n\nSteeped in the “old school” traditions of the genre\, Diabbla draws inspiration from artists such as Cypress Hill\, Control Machete\, Akwid\, West Coast legends\, Molotov\, and many others. Over the years\, she has seamlessly blended rapping with singing\, incorporating elements of R&B\, Jazz\, Boom Bap\, Trap\, Drill\, and more.  \n\n\n\nDiabbla is currently based in San Francisco\, California area where she continues to expand her reach across new horizons\, firmly believing that no border can ever contain her sound or her name. She promises to be an artist who offers far more than just a particular image; her true desire is to leave a lasting legacy through her compositions\, ensuring that listeners can truly feel and connect with every single bar she delivers from her own personal life. \n\n\n\n\n\nKarina Gamez is an emerging writer\, born to Salvadoran immigrants and raised in the Bay Area\, CA. She is a recent graduate of New York University\, where her academic and literary work has been grounded in El Salvador\, exploring themes of state violence\, historical memory\, war\, exile\, migration\, caretaking\, illness\, and love.
