Haitian Magical Realism exhibition at PCC

Pasadena City College is presenting “Haitian Magical Realism: The Art of the Haitian Global South” at the African-American Heritage Room in the college’s Shatford Library, according to the school’s website. The exhibition is running through August 31, 2026, which means it remains available for visits this week. PCC is promoting the show on its homepage as part of a Caribbean Heritage Month message. The college’s library page identifies Shatford Library as the campus library serving PCC students and the surrounding district. ### Where is the exhibition actually located on campus? Pasadena City College says the exhibition is installed in the African-American Heritage Room in the Shatford Library. That matters for visitors because PCC also operates gallery and arts spaces elsewhere on campus, but this show is being presented inside the library building rather than in one of the college’s main art galleries. The library page describes Shatford Library as PCC’s main library and says it provides services and resources for the college’s community and residents of the Pasadena Area Community College District. (pasadena.edu) The same page also points visitors to archive and research resources housed through the library. ### What has PCC publicly said about the show? PCC’s homepage uses a short invitation rather than a full curatorial statement. The college says, “PCC invites you to Haitian Magical Realism: The Art of the Haitian Global South” and adds that the exhibition will run through August 31, 2026. (pasadena.edu) That public notice confirms the exhibition title, the host institution and the end date. The homepage item does not, in the material publicly visible through the site snapshot, list artists, admission charges or a separate registration requirement. (pasadena.edu) ### What can visitors confirm before going? August 31, 2026, is the posted closing date on PCC’s website, but visitors should still check campus pages for current access details before arriving. (pasadena.edu) The homepage notice confirms the exhibition’s presence, while the library page serves as the main source for Shatford Library information. The library website includes service information, research tools and contact options, including an “Ask a Librarian” feature and chat access. (pasadena.edu) Those details give visitors a practical place to verify building availability or related library services on the day they plan to go. ### Why is the library page part of the visit plan? Shatford Library is the named site for the exhibition, so the library page is the most direct PCC source for location-related information. (pasadena.edu) The page says the library is committed to serving PCC’s diverse community and highlights both physical and digital collections, including the PCC Digital Archive. For a visitor, that means the exhibition sits within a broader campus setting centered on study, archives and public-facing resources rather than a standalone ticketed museum environment, at least based on the college’s public web pages. (pasadena.edu) That is an inference drawn from the library’s stated role and the exhibition location listed by PCC. ### How long is the window to see it? August 31, 2026, is the date PCC lists for the end of the exhibition. (pasadena.edu) As of Thursday, August 6, 2026, that leaves the rest of this month for visits, subject to campus and library access. PCC’s website is the place the college directs readers for event and campus information, and the library page provides the Shatford Library context. The exhibition remains posted there through the current week, with the college naming the African-American Heritage Room as the venue and August 31 as the closing date. (pasadena.edu)
