Join us for an evening with Caitlin Rother, bestselling author and investigative journalist, as she explores the twists and turns of her latest thriller, "Hooked," set right here in San Diego. Drawing on her background in true-crime reporting—including her acclaimed Death on Ocean Boulevard, set here in Coronado—Rother brings real-world tension and insight to her fiction. Hear how investigative journalism fuels her suspenseful storytelling and what it takes to keep readers guessing until the final page. Books will be available for sale at the event and a book signing will follow the talk. About the Book Investigative reporter Katrina Chopin is back home in San Diego on a mission (or two). The first is personal: reheating the cold case of her parents’ murder and investigating her brother’s reported suicide. The second involves a new spate of deaths with alleged causes that just don’t smell right. She and Detective Ken Goode need each other’s help for both. But she has to keep the sexy surfer at arm’s length, because dating him is off limits. For now. Teaming up, they make coordinated progress down each path. Digging deeper into La Jolla’s corrupt network of elites, they uncover a pattern of lies, depravity, and greed. And with every new discovery, Katrina is pulled closer to danger…and to Goode. Sharing sexy phone calls and sunset drinks isn’t exactly following the rules, but fully crossing that line could jeopardize the case. As they start to connect the dots, they realize they must risk everything to bring down the shadowy cabal that kills to keep its secrets.

Project [BLANK]’s annual exhibition returns to close the season with a festival of innovative local art and music. This year’s WORKING TITLE fills the soaring gothic halls of St. Paul’s Cathedral with bold visual art, multimedia installations, performance art, and live experimental music from a diverse group of transborder artists. This year, WORKING TITLE centers on the theme of Sanctuary. What defines a sacred or protected space? What boundaries—physical, social, spiritual—are drawn to offer refuge to those under threat? We invite artists to submit works that engage with sanctuary as a personal experience, a collective practice, an architectural condition, or a political act of resistance. At its center is the world premiere of a major new work by San Diego composer Michelle Lou—a mind-melting composition for voices, tubas, pipe organ, and electronics—surrounded by three days of new works, installations, and thought-provoking performances from some of the most exciting creative voices in Southern California, Tijuana, and Baja California. The exhibition is curated by sculptor Diana Benavídez and Artistic Director Leslie Ann Leytham, and artist submissions will be reviewed by a panel of artists: Alessandra Moctezuma, Alvaro Díaz, Cat Gunn, and Luisa Martínez.

Get ready for a full-throttle dance party where human creativity and machine intelligence collide. Headlining the night is Deep World, a new live audiovisual/AI performance by VJ Übergeek, the long-running performance persona of artist Amy Alexander, joined by DJ monocromo. Picking up where Übergeek’s legendary CyberSpaceLand series (2000–2015) left off, Deep World blends club energy with theatrical spectacle, part live text improv, part VJ set, and part video game. As Übergeek converses with a custom-trained AI built on the words of writers and thinkers who have navigated crisis, the dialogue drives a pulsing, immersive cathartic rave. The party kicks off with high-energy, algorithmically generated sets by Joe Cantrell and Matty Terrones & Victor Castañeda, priming the dance floor with worlds of sound, light, and automation.

Sound artist Marguerite Brown opens the evening with an exploration of the electric guitar as a celestial body, using planetary tuning forks, custom hardware, and extended performance techniques to reveal new resonances and cosmic frequencies. Her work invites listeners to consider sound as both vibration and matter, connecting the earthly and the astronomical. Following Brown, the bi-coastal quartet MOONS —Judith Berkson, Laura Cetilia, Katie Porter, and Christine Tavolacci — presents a set of new compositions born from years of collaboration in experimental music. Their performances traverse chamber textures, electroacoustic landscapes, and subtle improvisations, creating music that is intimate, exploratory, and richly detailed. Together, Brown and MOONS offer an evening that bridges the cosmic and the deeply intimate. Project [BLANK] on Facebook / Instagram
