fINdings Art Center, in collaboration with Grand Vision, presents “Theater of the Sacred and the Absurd” by artists Nguyen Ly, Jillian Thompson, and Yvette Trujillo, curated by Henry Krusoe.

A graduate of CSU: Long Beach, Yvette draws inspiration from her family’s immigrant journey, particularly her parents, who worked tirelessly as artisans in construction and textiles.
