Program Description

Event Details

Join photographer and author Don Liponi for a discussion of the book La Rumorosa Rock Art Along the Border, a survey of Kumeyaay and related artwork in Southern California, Colorado River Corridor, Western Arizona and Baja California.  It's the first publication to focus on the indigenous rock art of this region. This book is testament to the historical permanence of Kumeyaay culture, and how art creation can help oppressed societies to survive cultural genocide committed against them.  Almost none of the sites and photographs have ever been published.

Presented in conjunction with the 2017 One Book One San Diego county-wide community reading project.
