Santa Ana: Reclaiming Birth by Karissa Raya

The Art Space OC, a joint venture between Community Engagement and Casa Bloom Studios, proudly presents Reclaiming Birth, an exhibition by photographer Karissa Raya.   Join us for a free, public viewing during the Santa Ana Art Walk at Casa Bloom Studios.

Karissa Raya’s photographic series, Reclaiming Birth, is an honoring of birth as a deeply personal, physiological, intimate rite of passage. This transformative exhibition celebrates birth practices being reclaimed and a return to the wisdom of our ancestors as a basis for personal and community healing. In a time where racism is hazardous to the health of pregnant people and their infants, this reclamation and advocacy is necessary for communities of color.
The exhibition is presented by The Art Space OC and coincides with DTSA First Saturday ArtWalk, a free, all-ages, community-based arts showcase that takes place throughout Downtown Santa Ana on the first Saturday of each month.
