The Maritime Museum of San Diego, whose mission is to serve as the community memory of our seafaring experiences by collecting, preserving, and presenting our rich maritime heritage and historic connections with the Pacific world, announces the opening of the new exhibit Celebrating the Sea: Exploring the Maritime Museum of San Diego’s Hidden Collection in the Compass Gallery on the ferryboat Berkeley. Entry to the new exhibit is included with general admission. October 2024 through July 2025 visitors can revel in a rare and rich tapestry of treasured maritime-themed art and admire notable artists’ work, embracing the nautical world of breathtaking coasts, artifacts & treasured ships. 

How do we soothe ourselves in the age of efficiency? How do we find time for care in the age of speed? How do we transform healing into daily acts of resistance and revolution?

Join artist Maria Antonia Eguiarte in an object-making workshop that plants the seeds surrounding these questions through the creation of a self-soothing artifact. Using fiber, wire, and other materials, we will create a hand-held object informed by mindfulness and awareness of the needs of our bodies, souls, and beings.

This program is intended for adult audiences. Capacity is limited to 25 participants.
