Now, in the project of their dreams, they’ve taken their passion for cats global. In Cats of the World, Shaw and Martilla journey across 25 countries to explore cat culture around the globe, documenting their travels with stunning photos and interviews with cat lovers from each country. From England’s charmingly worn pubs and candle-lit cathedrals, Greece’s sunset-stained cliffs and white-washed homes, Kuwait’s sandy beaches and glittering skyline, South Africa’s bustling streets and lush mountains, and so many places in between, Cats of the World is a celebration of cats in their every form– in settings magical and mundane– and an enlightening exploration of what they mean to the people who love them most.

"Their Wall, Our Canvas" exhibits nearly fifty multimedia pieces by San Diego artists-activists Antonia Davis (b.1955), Bob Davis (b.1952), and Natalia Ventura (b.1998). Antonia is a founding member of the San Diego Puppet Insurgency, and has led art builds with dozens of local social and environmental justice groups over the last twenty years. Bob has been a lifelong supporter and photo documentarian of local struggles. Natalia, an emerging artist-activist from Chula Vista, met the couple in 2023 while leading art intervention projects to save Friendship Park. Since then the three have formed a bond rooted in their shared passions for art and activism. Several of the works on view are products of their collaboration. Spanning across textile, installation, photography, performance, painting, and video, the works in this exhibition aim to deconstruct harmful narratives and replace them with stories and images that heal. These artists contribute to the Collective by helping us imagine a different reality, painting the picture of what liberation looks like, and making the revolution irresistible.
