NOTE: This event is cancelled Join Scott Farrell, program director of Chivalry Today and head instructor with the San Diego Longsword medieval fencing program, for a look into the language, function, and artistry of knightly armor in Shakespeare’s world. From the glory of Henry V, to the supernatural apparitions of Hamlet, to the treachery of Macbeth, arms and armor appear over and over in Shakespeare’s works, and a thorough understanding of the “visual language” of medieval and Renaissance armor lends a much deeper, more nuanced understanding of many of his stories and characters.

Art Produce Gallery in North Park will host a special artist talk featuring the four San Diego-based African American visual artists currently showcased in the exhibition "Lineage + Inheritance." Curated by Kamaal Martin of Art, Power, Equity in partnership with UCSD’s Black Studies Project and Art Produce, "Lineage + Inheritance" presents a trans-generational dialogue between established artists Andrea Rushing and Jean Cornwell alongside emerging talents Mensah Bey and Domonique King. The exhibition, which opened March 13 and runs through April 19, 2025, features new works that frame particular generational perspectives on contemporary issues and the life and liberation of Black people. The artists work across diverse media: Rushing primarily with oil on canvas, Cornwell presenting hand-embellished acrylic prints on paper, Bey creating acrylic paintings oncanvas, and King exploring wood, metal, yarn and textiles. "This exhibition reflects a Black aesthetic grounded in community participation, artistic innovation, and liberation," says curator Kamaal Martin. "These concepts have been explored by artists, scholars, and activists throughout the long history of Black art practices in the Americas." The artist talk offers a rare opportunity to hear these four distinctive creative voices in live conversation, discussing their artistic processes, influences, and the themes that connect their work across generations.

We are excited to share this call out for our fourth and last exhibit to round out the four-part Borderlands Visions series. This last exhibit, titled Anti-Border Futures might seem contrary to the series title. However, we end on this note because it is the reality of living in the borderlands, what Chicana queer theorist Gloria Anzaldúa aptly called “an open wound” and “a thin edge of barbed wire we call home”, that is the necessary precondition to generating a world otherwise, precisely because we have had to sit with, feel, think, endure the painstaking physical, emotional, psychological, epistemic, and embodied violence that borders constantly produce and sustain.
