Laugh Now, Cry Later - CSUDH Alumni Exhibition

Laugh Now, Cry Later

December 2nd - December 17th

Monte Vista Projects is pleased to present Laugh Now, Cry Later, the inaugural California State University Dominguez Hills Art and Design alumni exhibition. Organized by alumni, the exhibition presents work by Southern California based artists that graduated before 2023. The artists utilize their practice as an often poignant and darkly humorous critique of living in the socio-economic context of contemporary Los Angeles.

The shared cultural experience of the alumni is evident in the diverse yet parallel visual languages presented in Laugh Now, Cry Later. The work examines the influence of class, race, gender, sexuality, and religiosity with a tongue in cheek approach.

Featuring work by: em aguilar, Edmund Arevalo, Cody Cerna, Bee Correa, Jose Espinoza, Hope Ezcurra, Gabe Medina, Santos Nuñez, Ann Pickard, Eduardo Rodriguez, Juan Rosillo and Kali Victoria

Curated by Alumnus: Hope Ezcurra, Kellan King, Gabe Medina
