We heart tortillas. We heart art made in our 'hood. Naturally, we're all over the tortilla fest known as the Great Tortilla Conspiracy exhibition. It's free (!!!!) and a few steps away from our home BART stop, the beauty that is otherwise known as 24th Street. Artists use corn tortillas as a canvas, using silk-screening, digital printing and other means for thought--although maybe not hunger-- provoking art. We outright giggle when folks say they see the Virgin Mary or Elvis in their food, but issues like the rising price of tortillas, immigration and transgenic corn have us shutting up and mulling it all over, real quick like. 7 to 10 p.m., Studio 24, Galeria de la Raza, 2857 24th Street. Phone 415-826-8009.
