What’s On

Kumeyaay Visual Storytelling Project

“Visual storytelling has been apart of Kumeyaay tradition since time immemorial.”

The Kumeyaay Visual Storytelling Project is an immersive exhibition that brings the two-part comic Our, Past, Present, and Future and Beyond Gaming, written by Kumeyaay Tribal Historians Ethan Banegas, Michael Connolly Miskwish, Lorraine Orosco, and Stanley Rodriguez.

“Each of these two ways [comics] tells the same story, but slightly differently. Sometimes, having the same story told twice is the best way to learn about something that’s complicated. We want these two stories to help everyone learn more about our people, our story and how we view the world.”

This exhibition is generously funded by Prebys Foundation, Conboy Family Trust, and Suzanne Conlon.

Our Past, Present, and Future and Beyond Gaming, Ethan Banegas, Michael Connolly Miskwish, Lorraine Orosco, and Stanley Rodriguez, illustrated by John Swogger, Kumeyaay Comics, 2024.
