Today's episode features artists Alvin Pagdanganan Gregorio and Alejandra Abad in conversation with Saddleback Art Instructor, Erin O'Shea.
Their creative works explore a wide range of subjects and media. They create work, spaces and experiences that explore personal narratives, family, community, collaboration, immigration, nationality & violence as well as build towards imagined futures. We’re here to listen to their experiences within the arts and academia in regards to representation and diversity.

About the Open Diversity Arts Festival
As Saddleback College continues its work in addressing what it means to be an institution that truly embraces and honors diversity, the Open Diversity Arts Festival, sponsored by the Division of Fine Arts and Media Technology in partnership with the Associated Student Government, aims to educate, through demonstration, representation, and academic exchange, on a myriad of issues that are inherent to BIPOC Artist Scholars and their creative journeys.
Each episode of the Open Series will pair a Saddleback faculty member with a creative artist whose cultural background and artistic journey creates inspired artistic expression. We hope this series will educate and encourage the Saddleback College community as we strive to be a more knowledgeable, empathetic, and sensitive academic institution.
Current and former Fine Arts students, we need you!
