Press release quote, in full here. (PDF format and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software or equivalent. Download Acrobat Reader here.) In their West Coast debut at Oolong Gallery, "Sky written, cosmic draw," artists Ivan David Ng and Sergio Suárez invite viewers into a realm where the boundaries of identity dissolve, and abstraction becomes a language of wonder, longing, and imagined unity. Originally from Singapore and currently on faculty at OSU, David Ng explores the order of fragmentation through conceptual and materially altered studies that scatter celestially across well-considered surfaces in drawing, fresco, experimental photography, 3D printing, and collage. His “scrambling” process generatively remixes materials, translating the endurance and displacement of a diasporic lineage into patterns that swirl and slither, refusing stillness. Suarez, a Mexican-born, Atlanta-based artist, bridges spirit and matter through a practice spanning printmaking, woodblock carving, painting, sculpture, and installation. His works stage the dialogue between the sacred and profane, often etched as depersonalized figures, are animated by the opposing tensions in archetypal forces (i.e. bodily desire and the limits in temperance, fire as regenerative and destructive). Together, Ivan David Ng and Sergio Suarez create a contemporary codex that nudges curiosity into the conceptual articulation of a mythopoetic way of knowing. Oolong Gallery on Instagram

Hi Friends, You might have heard—last year we hosted our first-ever live event, and we're excited to share it with you! Our Port of Entry Live event was part of the World Design Experience, linked to San Diego–Tijuana's 2024 World Design Capital initiative. The event joined a larger lineup of exhibitions, talks, art shows, installations, and workshops held throughout San Diego and Tijuana to showcase our area's creative talent. Today's episode contains part 1 of the unedited recording of that live event, presented in two parts. It’s part of a larger five-episode bundle, including our recent podcast episode "Charles and Giancarlo - Compadres in Art," and two short video capsules: Charles' Dream and Giancarlo's Dance. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy. From KPBS, this is Port of Entry LIVE.

First-ever California Indigi-Con July 25 and 27 in San Diego! Indigenous comic authors and artists will share their rich traditions and storytelling through their comics at California’s first-ever INDIGI-CON, held Friday, July 25 and Sunday, July 27 at UC San Diego Park & Market in downtown San Diego, 1100 Market Street, San Diego, CA 92101.

For a complete list of artists and activities, and to register, please go to 2025 INDIGI-CON.The artists will also be panelists at the San Diego Comic-Con 2025 International (July 24 - 27). Indigi-Con is presented by the Indigenous Futures Institute - UC San Diego, in collaboration with the Eyaay Ahuun Foundation and the University of California Humanities Research Institute. The San Pasqual Band is also a title sponsor. “Comic book art is an important medium for Native people to creatively tell their stories,” said Chag Lowry (Yurok, Maidu and Achumawi), Executive Director of the Indigenous Futures Institute. “Sequential art has always been used by Native people to convey stories, tell histories, and share lessons for future generations. This first-ever California Indigi-Con is bringing together and showcasing the incredible talents of Native artists from a vast range of cultures. Our event honors them as the original storytellers from this region and throughout the country.” “Comics can tell any kind of story and offer Indigenous storytellers an ideal medium for telling their stories as they want them told,” said Mike Towry, co-founder of San Diego Comic-Con and long-time supporter of Indigenous Comics. “An important milestone for Indigenous comics creators is the recent publication in San Diego of the first comic from the Kumeyaay Visual Storytelling Project (KSVP). Another this first-ever California Indigi-Con, which will present the works of multiple native storytellers to comic fans in San Diego. I am proud of comics for providing the medium to tell these stories that their creators need to tell and that we need to see and read – and that our City of San Diego, the birthplace of Comic-Con International, will be the inaugural site for this important – and fun – event.” “The Eyaay Ahuuyn Foundation is deeply honored to support and co-present the first-ever California Indigi-Con, celebrating the rich history of Native American heritage through comics,” said Johnny Bear Contreras (Kumeyaay), Sculptor & Cultural Bearer Johnny Bear Art, founder Eyaay Ahuun Foundation, and tribal member of the San Pasqual Band of the Kumeyaay Nation. “Supporting and uplifting the next generation of artists is what it is all about.” The foundation will also be revealing their upcoming comic and play “Shuuluk Wechuwvi - Where Lightening Was Born.” “It is very important to support these young Native artists who are putting in the work, learning from their elders and helping highlight our stories for generations to come,” said Chairman Stephen W. Cope of The San Pasqual Band. “When Native people are given less than 1% of representation in mainstream published media, gathering so many of these writers and artists to celebrate their contributions is something truly extraordinary,” said Weshoyot Alvitre (Tongva and Scottish), comic book artist, writer and illustrator. “I feel honored to be included in this roster of creatives whose work I support and admire and which inspires me.”
