Translation: New Work by Omar Pimienta March 3, 2012
San Francisco, California 94103
Across two languages and two nations. A perpetual shift between images that relate to words, words that relate to objects, objects that relate to time. A constant moving forward, stepping back, looking to understand: a car is a car is a carro is a scar once you have a 9 mm pointing at Marcella's face. A 2004 salvage Jetta, leather seats and power windows. A car that crosses from one nation to another, from a dormitory/party city to America's finest/labor city.
Please join us for an evening of poetry and visual art by Omar Pimienta. Pimienta (Tijuana-San Diego) is an interdisciplinary artist who uses the lens of personal geography while working with media such as photography, video, installations, and text, among others, to explore social landscapes, collective and individual histories, and the spaces within/between the imagination and the image.
Also reading their work will be local poets whose work explores the unique transnational, trans-cultural and trans-lingual space of the US Mexican border.
"Translation" is on view at the CIIS Minna Street Center through March 17th.

The Bogue Chitto is horribly polluted by dozens of camps that pipe raw sewage into the river. I would recommend the Tickfaw, sandy bottomed and part of a state park.
I just noticed that the coupon is for Amite instead of Tickfaw, still nice though.
