Oct. 12, 2024 through Jan. 17, 2025 From the gallery: This exhibition brings together a series of new works produced by Cog•nate Collective in collaboration with communities of Tijuana & San Ysidro From sonic sculptures and neighborhood transmissions, to public participatory performance and collaboration with insects (yes, insects), the works explore forms & approaches to border-crossing. Inspired by popular hacks that facilitate movement and sustain connections across borders. The exhibition borrows its title from the popular 1971 song written and originally recorded by The Bee Gees – and extensively covered in English and Spanish – to call attention to the harsh immigration enforcement & policies along the U.S./MX border. All while pointing to the vital need to propose and rehearse ways our interconnected communities can mend what has been broken. Join us for the opening reception October 12, 2024, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. 147 W San Ysidro Blvd Related links: The Front Arte & Cultura website | Instagram

In Persian culture and traditions the longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry Hafez and the Shahname or The Book of Kings until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. This year, we have decided to start our Yalda celebrations a little earlier with a special preparatory event. This pre-Yalda celebration is not just a countdown; it's a chance for us to come together, to cherish the bonds of family and friendship, and to create unforgettable memories. So, mark your calendars and bring your joyful spirits! Persian Place welcomes everyone to join and celebrate this beautiful event at Oceanside Museum of Art on Nov. 5, 2023, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event includes meet and greet with Maestro Norureddin Zarrinkelk ( The Father of Iranian Animation), “ A Journey to Persia” arts and crafts workshop which includes seven workshops, Persian dance, music, reading Hafez poetry and storytelling.
