Tourmaline is an activist, filmmaker, and writer. Her work highlights the capacity of Black queer and trans people and communities to make and transform worlds. In her films, Tourmaline creates dreamlike portraits of people whose stories tell the history of New York City, including gay and trans liberation activists, drag queens, and queer icons Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera (Happy Birthday Marsha, co-directed with Sasha Wortzel, 2018), Miss Major (The Personal Things, 2016), and Egyptt LaBeija (Atlantic is a Sea of Bones, 2017). Tending to the histories and haunts of disabled, poor, Black, queer, and trans life that echo and vibrate beneath neighborhoods and cultural landmarks, Tourmaline’s films undulate between narrative and non-narrative and illuminate the mundane acts that form the fabric of historical events and mutually supportive communities. Presented by the UC San Diego Department of Visual Arts and the Black Studies Project.

From the organizers: San Diego Environmental Film Festival, Muir College, and UCSD Environmental Studies invite you to the screening of The Seeds of Vandana Shiva on April 14, 2023 from 5-8 p.m. at SME Theater (149), located on the North side of the Epstein Family Amphitheater. The reception and discussion about food justice starts at 5 p.m. and the screening begins at 6 p.m. About the film: Vandana Shiva is a modern-day revolutionary, and for forty years has been fighting a heroic battle on behalf of humanity and the ecologically besieged natural systems that support us. But she is opposed by powerful multinational corporations invested in continuing their degenerative but lucrative agricultural practices. By profiling one of the greatest activists of modern times, the film looks at the epic struggle over who controls the world’s food systems, and asks the question, who will prevail?

Join us for this special concert featuring music by three important composers in music history. Sergei Prokofiev’s First Symphony, which was written in the style of the classical period, is paired with music by “the Father of the Symphony,” Franz Joseph Haydn’s London Symphony. These two works highlight the evolving sound of the orchestra – and the connections that music has across time. Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate is a Chickasaw composer, who is one of the most important contemporary composers of our time, expressing his native culture in symphonic music. His work Chokfi’ is the Chickasaw word for rabbit, who is an important trickster legend within the Southeast American Indian cultures. Different string and percussion techniques and colors represent the complicated and diabolical personality of this rabbit person. In honor of his Muscogee Creek friends, Tate incorporated a popular tribal church hymn as the melodic and musical base. Sycuan Casino Resort is the Lead Sponsor of Music Connects, which is also proudly sponsored by Mission Federal Credit Union.

The Phillies clinched the National League Championship Series and ended the Padres’ World Series dreams, at least for this year. Because for Padres fans – the people who nearly rocked Petco Park off its foundation last week – and the millions of others who felt united in celebrating the home team's victories, there is always next year. Then, Governor Gavin Newsom and his Republican challenger, state Sen. Brian Dahle squared off in a debate Sunday on everything from inflation and high gas prices to homelessness and abortion rights.

We'll be talking about the candidates running to lead districts 6 and 8. Finally, hear about a new musical that looks at the impact COVID-19 and the pandemic has had on people.
