ICE’s reign of terror continues to plague our streets, and it’s imperative that we don’t let our city or mass media ignore this problem.

Webinar: Register We are in an era of escalated imperial violence, as the U.S. and Israel bomb natural gas fields and oil depots in Iran, launch new regime change efforts for oil in Venezuela, and continue to add more money to the budget of the world’s #1 institutional polluter, the Pentagon, every day.

Join us to learn about how war is not green, the environmental and climate impacts of U.S. warfare in Iran and everywhere, what we are facing in the current movement, and the vast organizing efforts to build something new.

At The Woo 2212 Main Street, San Diego CA 92113 Note: Opening Hours have not been confirmed as of April 15, 2006 Flyer Viva La Raza: Reflections on San Diego’s Chican@ Movement is a multigenerational exhibition presented by The Woo in collaboration with Subcultura Curation in Barrio Logan, one of San Diego’s recognized cultural districts. Opening Saturday, April 11, 2026, the exhibition is inspired by the resistance, cultural pride, and community movement surrounding Chicano Park Day and will be on view throughout that weekend.
Part of the exhibition highlights the Queer Chican@ experience - curated by Betty Bangs, Bucky Montero, and Paulina Lara featuring archival materials from Lambda Archives of San Diego — including materials documenting the history of Las Hermanas Women’s Cultural Center and Coffeehouse, a space that stood at the intersection of Chicana feminism, queer community, and cultural resistance in San Diego. These primary sources illuminate a chapter of local history that has too often gone unacknowledged, centering the voices and organizing legacies of queer women of color who shaped the region’s broader liberation movements.
Through visual art, archival materials, photography, and storytelling, Viva La Raza brings together multiple perspectives reflecting the history, culture, and creative spirit of San Diego’s Chican@ community. The exhibition also features Aztlan Archives as a central historical anchor, a community-led photography exhibition by Manuel Ceniceros and All For Logan, and a solo presentation of new works by BRISK ONE.
Together, these elements highlight both the legacy and ongoing evolution of the movement in San Diego — and the essential role that queer Chicanx communities have played in it. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the histories, cultural contributions, and creative expressions that continue to define and inspire the region today.

Las Hermanas Queer Chicanax Histories of San Diego
April 26, 202612:00 pm - 4:00 pm 2212 Main St, San Diego, CA 92113, USA
At The Woo 2212 Main Street, San Diego CA 92113 Note: Opening Hours have not been confirmed as of April 15, 2006 Flyer Viva La Raza: Reflections on San Diego’s Chican@ Movement is a multigenerational exhibition presented by The Woo in collaboration with Subcultura Curation in Barrio Logan, one of San Diego’s recognized cultural districts. Opening Saturday, April 11, 2026, the exhibition is inspired by the resistance, cultural pride, and community movement surrounding Chicano Park Day and will be on view throughout that weekend.
Part of the exhibition highlights the Queer Chican@ experience - curated by Betty Bangs, Bucky Montero, and Paulina Lara featuring archival materials from Lambda Archives of San Diego — including materials documenting the history of Las Hermanas Women’s Cultural Center and Coffeehouse, a space that stood at the intersection of Chicana feminism, queer community, and cultural resistance in San Diego. These primary sources illuminate a chapter of local history that has too often gone unacknowledged, centering the voices and organizing legacies of queer women of color who shaped the region’s broader liberation movements.
Through visual art, archival materials, photography, and storytelling, Viva La Raza brings together multiple perspectives reflecting the history, culture, and creative spirit of San Diego’s Chican@ community. The exhibition also features Aztlan Archives as a central historical anchor, a community-led photography exhibition by Manuel Ceniceros and All For Logan, and a solo presentation of new works by BRISK ONE.
Together, these elements highlight both the legacy and ongoing evolution of the movement in San Diego — and the essential role that queer Chicanx communities have played in it. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the histories, cultural contributions, and creative expressions that continue to define and inspire the region today.
