Bakunawa Market is an ancestral and spiritual marketplace rooted in Filipino heritage and healing. Inspired by the Babaylan, the healers and spirit-keepers of pre-colonial Philippines, the market offers a sacred space to remember our roots, reconnect with ancestral wisdom, and restore spiritual balance. The free, two-day community event features 30+ makers, healers, and artists – from ceramists, jewelers, and visual artists to herbalists, tarot readers, energy workers, and culinary creators – whose work reflects ancestral wisdom, decolonial practices, and spiritual connection. The Bakla Collective will also be featured, showcasing Queer Filipinx creators and centering equity and representation within San Diego’s creative community. Enjoy live performances, a Sunday workshop lineup – including Intro to Mediumship, Zero-Waste Candle Making, and Yoga + Sound: Collective Healing – and Kamayan by Kujo Eats (Sunday, 5-7 p.m.). Kamayan, meaning "by hand" in Tagalog, is a traditional communal feast where guests share food with their hands, scooping rice and dishes on a table lined with banana leaves. Thoughtfully curated by elders, each dish celebrates the true flavors of our ancestors, with a special spread featuring grilled pompano, fried bangus, BBQ chicken leg quarters, beef kare kare, pork BBQ skewers, and garlic rice.

On October 22, 2025, pianist Aleck Karis and Susan Narucki will be presenting a concert of songs for soprano and piano, ranging from the late Romantic music of French composer Cécile Chaminade to a relatively recent song cycle written by the American composer Allen Anderson. They will also be performing early twentieth century works with lush harmonies - rarely-heard songs by Alexander Zemlinsky and Anton Webern. In addition, Aleck Karis will be performing two short works for solo piano, one by Ravel and one by Poulenc, which will serve as a beautiful connecting thread. "What I believe is magical about hearing classical art songs is that the audience hears great poetry come to life through the composer's imagination and our response to it, as performers. As a singer, I am fascinated by the seemingly endless range of emotional expression that I find within this intimate art form, and sharing that with audiences is my life's joy. We also utilize supertitles to create more immediacy for the listener. So I think our program will be interesting and appealing for people who've never attended a concert of a classical singer as well as those who attend classical music regularly." - Susan Narucki View the program at music.ucsd.edu/concerts.

Join us at the Museum of Photographic Arts for a compelling double feature that explores memory, identity, and personal storytelling through the lens of photography and film. "A Photographic Memory" and "Ben Between Africa" are both documentaries that follow deeply personal journeys of two filmmakers seeking to understand a late family member through the photographs, letters, and archives they left behind. Together, they explore universal themes of grief, intergenerational healing, memory, and belonging. These aren’t just films; they’re acts of remembrance, filmmaking as a bridge between past and present. We believe the pairing of these two works offers a unique opportunity for audiences to reflect on the power of personal storytelling and the emotional resonance of archival film.
