A series of free community art workshops designed for mamas and their children in San Jose. The project aims to cultivate a space where moms can show up without feeling worried about whether to bring their child. Building accessible shared creative spaces where mamas can connect is necessary for collective wellbeing, joy, and imagination.

Rituals of Care and Motherhood: Coloring Party with Chetna Mehta

October 11, 2025

Join us for a coloring party of Chetna’s new coloring book “Cultivating Compassion in Times of Fascism.” Compassion is not a sentimental nice-to-have, but an embodied and necessary practice. A form of resistance. A muscle we can build in creativity, in community, and in the colorful rituals of care that remind us why we’re here.

Location: Noble Gallery, 500 S Almaden
