From the organizers: Please join us for the release of, "How Did We Get Here?" at Verbatim Books, February 12th, from 6:45-10pm. We will be hosting a panel discussion about the history of City Heights and the making of an original, narrative novel. The Panel will consist of the Founder of The AjA Project, Shinpei Takeda, the Author and Editor Haneen Oriqat, Illustrator Chey Diehl. "How Did We Get Here?" was created with great support and collaboration with Urban Habitat who made the first comic in 2005 about the city that they live and work in Oakland, California. The AjA Project was inspired to create a similar graphic novel with City Height's story, and started the project in 2018. The graphic novel with fictional characters from multiple diverse backgrounds illustrates the history of City Heights, focusing on issues like race, class, transportation, land-use, and housing for immigrants and refugees that make up City Heights. We hope you come out and join us to grab a comic book, and meet the artists and community members who made it possible! The Comic Book Artists of San Diego including the novel Illustrator Chey Diehl, will be joining us as vendors, offering their collection of illustrations, comics, and information on their work and upcoming events.

From the gallery: Hyde Art Gallery is excited to reopen our doors on day one of the Spring 2023 semester for Fragile Earth, an exhibition of ceramics and drawings from artist and retired Grossmont professor Jeff Irwin. This monochromatic showcase presents the artist’s continuing efforts to transcend the limitations of material while investigating the tenuous relationships we communally share with the world around us. Through this work, Irwin is responding to the often problematic stewardship humans have assumed over the natural world while underscoring contradictory dualities regarding the objects' material quality and conceptual make-up. This exhibition is intended to force the viewer to adopt a new visual language to examine mankind’s exploitation of the natural world and it’s slow but inevitable triumph over human intervention. Displayed alongside Jeff Irwin’s more emblematic, white-satin glazed animal head trophies are new process-oriented works - Rorschach tree drawings printed on acetate, delicate extruded clay slip “sketches”, and painted enamel on glass recreations of seemingly random shadow composition. Each work alludes to the nature’s fragility, our manipulation of it, and our egotistical need to prioritize that manipulation. “I often use imagery and symbols that speak to the manipulation of nature by human forces and our need to idealize that manipulation through dominance and control. My work explores the struggle in finding balance between our needs and those of the natural environment. When working on ideas for pieces, I look for contradiction, irony, beauty, and humor in the world that surrounds me. I take notice of how we impact the natural world and how we interpret that impact.” About the artist: Born in Long Beach, CA, Irwin obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Humboldt State University and a Master of Fine Arts from San Diego State University. Currently living in San Diego, Irwin is a retired Professor from the Ceramics Department at Grossmont College, El Cajon, CA, having taught there from 1989 to 2017. He has exhibited extensively in the US and Internationally. His work is in the collections of the Oakland Museum of California, San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts (TX), Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts (Racine, WI), Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum (Taiwan), and the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Ireland). Exhibition information and events: Fragile Earth will run from January 30 until March 2 at Grossmont College’s Hyde Art Gallery. A closing reception with the artist will be held on Tuesday February 28 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. All Hyde Art Gallery exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.
