Join us for the opening of "Mientras las plantas crecían: el jardín de los recuerdos," a new exhibition by Mexican artist Regina Escobedo.

In this evocative body of work, Escobedo explores the connections between memory, nature, home, and the passage of time. Through her artistic practice, plants and gardens become more than just places or objects—they become spaces where memories take root, grow, and transform.

Curated by Ana Aguilar, this exhibition invites us to reflect on the ways our personal and collective memories are shaped by the places we inhabit and the natural world around us.

📅 Opening: Thursday, Oct. 22 | 6:30PM.
