  • San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery is honored to present the first exhibit of the school year: "Clothes Story," envisioned and curated by Atlanta based designer Kenneth Green. This exhibition celebrates the lives and contributions of African American women by carefully replicating over thirty garments and fashion accessories that represent what women wore in historical periods ranging from 1890 to 1963. Every dress, coat or cloak in Clothes Story has a unique story to tell, whether revealing details about the maker, providing information about the historical context or teaching us about the person who wore it. Through fashion, the narratives shared in this exhibition come alive. The engaging display takes the viewer on a journey through time, inviting them to experience women’s lives at home and in their communities and capturing historical moments that showcase the African American female experience and acknowledge their resilience, strength, bravery, courage, and unapologetic spirit for change. With appreciation to The Hervey Family Fund at the San Diego Foundation whose generosity helps illuminate these stories. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art. Join us for the reception on Saturday, September 6, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Exhibition is on view from August 25 to October 16, 2025. Gallery Hours: M, T, W, TH, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. (Or by appointment.) Closed Fridays, Weekends & Holidays. Clothes Story Exhibit on Instagram San Diego Mesa College Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

  • The money is finally coming in — six years after a majority of San Diego voters approved an increase to the hotel room tax. It was billed as a way to expand the Convention Center, fund road repair and support homeless services. But it doesn't look like a new Convention Center will be coming anytime soon.
  • About 'Weekend Edition Saturday'

    Saturday mornings are made for Weekend Edition Saturday, the program wraps up the week's news and offers a mix of analysis and features on a wide range of topics, including arts, sports, entertainment, and human interest stories. The two-hour program is hosted by NPR's Peabody Award-winning Scott Simon.

    Drawing on his experience in covering 10 wars and stories in all 50 states and seven continents, Simon brings a humorous, sophisticated and often moving perspective to each show. He is as comfortable having a conversation with a major world leader as he is talking with a Hollywood celebrity or the guy next door.

    Weekend Edition Saturday has a unique and entertaining roster of other regular contributors. Marin Alsop, conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, talks about music. Daniel Pinkwater, one of the biggest names in children's literature, talks about and reads stories with Simon. Financial journalist Joe Nocera follows the economy. Howard Bryant of EPSN.com and NPR's Tom Goldman chime in on sports. Keith Devlin, of Stanford University, unravels the mystery of math, and Will Grozier, a London cabbie, talks about good books that have just been released, and what well-read people leave in the back of his taxi. Simon contributes his own award-winning essays, which are sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant.

  • This play is rooted in elder wisdom, creation story, and cultural continuity, "Shuuluk Wechuwvi – Where Lightning Was Born," presented by the Eyaay Ahuun Foundation, emerges as a radiant act of resistance and remembrance. This project -- part of the Kumeyaay Native Arts Pathway Program (KNAPP) -- Tijuana River Valley revitalization effort—confronts the decades-long degradation of a region strained by environmental injustice, economic disinvestment, and fractured planning. The area continues to suffer from rampant pollution and an unresolved sewage crisis—a crisis exacerbated by cross-border eco-mismanagement and inadequate infrastructure. Despite ongoing negotiations, binational planning often offers patchwork remedies to what is, at its core, a profound public health and ecological emergency. "Shuuluk Wechuwvi" responds to this crisis not with despair, but with story. Through the mediums of live performance and visual narrative, this play and comic seek to illuminate pathways toward collective healing and ecological repair. It is a love letter to the land and the people who refuse to let it be forgotten—calling forth a shared vision that is grounded in culture, responsive to community, and brave enough to demand more than short-term solutions. This is not just art—it is a call to action, a reclamation of narrative, and a step toward a truly binational, community-rooted future. The Play: "Shuuluk Wechuwvi: Where Lightning Was Born" A disillusioned teen and passionate gamer named Lucky is guided by his uncle, a scientist, and Water on a transformative journey that explores his Kumeyaay heritage and his potential as an environmental activist. Initially resistant—more comfortable in virtual worlds than the real one—Lucky is pulled away from his screen and into the story of the Tijuana River Estuary and the deep Kumeyaay connections to the land. Water leads him through ancestral memory and environmental futures, both hopeful and grim. As he begins to see the parallels between his gaming instincts and real-world action, Lucky embraces his true name, Shuuluk, meaning “Lightning,” and realizes that his voice holds power. Inspired by his people, new friendships, and the natural world, Lucky commits to using that power to protect the land and share the stories that have always lived within him. The play is produced by Teatro Las Hermanas, a collective of teatristas co-founded by sisters Mabelle and Zulema Reynoso and Tori Rice, committed to showcasing stories of the borderlands, while also serving as a platform for advocacy, empowerment, and cultural celebration. "Shuuluk Wechuwvi: Where Lightning Was Born" was written by award-winning playwright Mabelle Reynoso and will be directed by Tori Rice. Production art and the accompanying comic book illustration will be done by Zulema Reynoso. The cast is: Ivan Quezada - Kumeyaay (Lucky), Bobby Wallace - Kumeyaay (Uncle Ed), Vanessa Lopez (Mom; Patty), Nancy Batres (Daisy; Water). Executive production is co-produced and presented by Kumeyaay stewards and cultural practicioners! Eyaay Ahunn Foundation on Facebook / Instagram
