Woo Studios (formerly the Woodbury School of Architecture), a project of Studio Culture, is proud to host "An Artist’s Duty," a bold and timely group exhibition amplifying voices of historically excluded artists from the region, produced by the xikanx collective. Opening Saturday, August 2 from 3 p.m. – 8 p.m. and running through September 26, 2025, this exhibit is inspired by Nina Simone’s declaration that “an artist’s duty is to reflect the times” in which we live. The exhibition features around 100 artists and performers whose work confronts the current political climate–ICE raids and abductions, ecological collapse, dismantling of the Education Department, attacks on freedom of expression, regression of civil rights, economic instability, and rise of U.S. isolationism and authoritarianism. Through visual art, installation, performance, and storytelling, "An Artist’s Duty" is coming together through the xikanx collective– led and curated by Monica Hernandez and Alejandra Ruiz. Monica is an interdisciplinary artivist, curator, and cultural strategist rooted in San Diego’s borderlands. She is co-founder of The Front Arte y Cultura and brings decades of experience working at the intersection of art, advocacy, and community empowerment, with deep ties to grassroots networks. Alejandra Ruiz is an emerging multimedia artist who has curated exhibitions on both sides of the border and is currently an Arts & Culture Coordinator for The Front Arte y Cultura. "An Artist’s Duty" features artists from the Emo Brown Art Dept, the Xoque Art in Motion collective, Art Through the Glass (ATTG), Cr34tive Gatherings, the Centro Cultural de la Raza, Proyecto Coyote, and SubCultura Curation, along with an impressive list of individual artists, such as Marcos Erre Ramirez, Einar & James de la Torre, and Pedro Rios, among others. The opening reception will have performances by Nicole McFly and Ramel Wallace, as well as spoken word and a perfoma protest developed by Chile’s La Tesis in collaboration with the Centro Cultural de la Raza. ATTG will also be hosting a free artmaking activity. This exhibition takes on even greater urgency given the current anti-immigrant climate in San Diego and across the nation. "An Artist’s Duty" is not just a show—it is intentionally creating a safe space for truth-telling, resistance, collective healing, and for community-building. It is bringing together the voices of San Diego’s most marginalized and impacted communities, and it is doing so with intention, presence, hope, and art to shape and shift our current atmosphere.

Note: Though this class is offered as part of the Certificate in Memoir Writing, there is no pre-requisite to join this class. All students, members, and nonmembers are encouraged to enroll. In this workshop, participants will deepen their character work and learn how to craft a compelling memoir scene complete with description, details and dialogue that will bring the written word to life. A deeper understanding of the two voices of memoir will be explored; the voice of innocence and the voice of experience. Participants will gain a strong understanding of how and when to create real, conversational dialogue and utilize flashbacks. Tools to communicate clarity of character will be taught to bring the people in the story to life for the reader. Participants will be encouraged to submit another chapter of their work for peer review. (Those following the certificate program will have 3-5 chapters written by the end of this class.) Class structure: Except for the first class, the first hour will be lecture and the second hour will be read and critique where participants can workshop their material or class assignments. Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self. Our textbook, "7 Essential Writing Tools," is available for purchase on the first day of class for $10 or on Amazon/Kindle. Note: There will be no class on March 28 (San Diego Writers Festival) or April 4 (Easter)! Please also note that you will receive your Zoom link via email 24 hours before the start of this class.

Jafar Panahi reaffirms his status as one of this century’s great cinematic heroes with perhaps his bravest film yet, which won him the Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Ever since he was arrested, imprisoned, and banned from making movies by the Iranian government 15 years ago, Panahi has found ways of producing films in secret and without official permission. Working once again with a courageous cast and crew, he shows both his political risk-taking and confident command of craft in his most explicit attack on his country’s repressive regime—a cutting and darkly humorous thriller that concerns a mechanic, Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), who believes he has reencountered by chance the government intelligence officer, Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi), who had tortured him while under detainment. As Vahid enlists the services of acquaintances whose lives were also forever altered by Eghbal’s cruelties, the thirst for revenge and the sense of danger escalate—as do questions of moral choice and culpability.

Filmmaker Charlie Shackleton was hot on the trail of the next great American true crime documentary—a riveting account of a highway patrolman’s quixotic effort to identify and capture the infamous Zodiac Killer. Shackleton devised a plan, began collecting interviews, and shot “evocative B-roll” footage of ghostly California freeways and parking lots where the killer may have once lurked. And then the project fell apart, leaving Shackleton with fragments of the unfinished film and time to ruminate on shortcuts and signifiers of the ubiquitous genre. "Zodiac Killer Project" emerges from the ash heap to probe and deconstruct the form with the incisive eye of a true crime connoisseur. A witty and beautifully assembled deep dive into our obsession with serial killers and the stories we tell about them, Shackleton’s resuscitation of his abandoned film follows in the free-range footsteps of documentary philosophers Errol Morris, Werner Herzog, and Joshua Oppenheimer.
