RAM James Baldwin – Nothing Personal
@ Riverside Art Museum
EXHIBITION ON VIEW: July 13, 2024 – November 3, 2024
Location: Second floor gallery
James Baldwin (1924–1987) was one of the most influential African American writers and civil rights activists of the 20th century. Born in Harlem, New York, he developed a love for language and literature that would shape his life’s work. Baldwin’s writings fearlessly explored issues of race, sexuality, identity, and inequality in America with searing honesty and insight. His early novels Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) and Giovanni’s Room (1956) broke new ground in their nuanced portrayals of the Black and queer experience. He was equally known for his non-fiction work, such as his revolutionary essay collection Notes of a Native Son (1955), which established him as a powerful new voice in literature.
Aliento a Tequila
The Aliento a Tequila (or The Spirit of Tequila) exhibition explores and celebrates the landscape, culture, and traditions that gave birth to tequila, Mexico’s national drink. In this series, photographer Joel Salcido includes the original distilleries that literally founded the industry, as well as several artisanal tequileras committed to the ancestral ways of making tequila from harvest to bottle. Salcido’s photographs, together with the bilingual Spanish/English texts, reveal not only the tequila making process but also the region’s traditions of culture and religion. Aliento a Tequila celebrates a craft that is rooted deep in the culture of Mexico and connects viewers with the labor and place that produces this popular spirit. See this exhibit now at the Temecula Valley Museum.
