Sights and Sounds is your weekly guide to the Bay Area arts scene through the eyes and ears of local artists. During shelter in place, instead of recommending in-person events, we're suggesting ways to experience art and culture from home. This week, Jenee Darden sits down with Seth Eisen, the artistic director of Eye Zen Presents.

This online exhibition features the work of artists from the Bay Area and Puerto Rico. Their art reimagines the domestic space as what it can be. This is a thought-provoking theme as we're all sheltering in place. The Queer Cultural Center hosts this every week in June.
