This award-winning film reclaims the 1,000-year-old tradition of Black surfing. Braiding historical accounts with modern-day testimonials, Wade in the Water dismantles the racial barriers of conventional surf culture, delves into the overlooked history of Black surfing's legacy, and honors its current movement—inspiring the next generation of Black surfers. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Prof. Caroline Collins (UCSD, Urban Studies and Planning) and featuring: David Mesfin (Director, Wade in the Water), Prof. Kevin Dawson (UC Merced, History, author of Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora) and Risa Bell (Founder, Paddle for Peace). This event is brought to you by Black Like Water, a scholarly research collaboration between Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the 8 Colleges, UC San Diego Recreation, the Black Resource Center, Black Diaspora and African American Studies Program, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. This screening was made possible by support from the UC San Diego Black Studies project and a Healing Through Nature Grant from The Prebys Foundation.

San Diego Foundation ArtWalk is back at Liberty Station for its 20th year, bringing a weekend-long celebration of arts and culture to San Diego’s Liberty Station. The festival celebrates creativity from both sides of the border, with more than 175 artists coming from across several states and Mexico to show and sell their artwork, including paintings, photography, glass and ceramics, jewelry, and sculpture. For families, there will also be a KidsWalk with a variety of hands-on art activities and experiences. The ARTS DISTRICT at Liberty Station has earned its place as San Diego’s premier venue for arts, museums, dining, and entertainment. The fabulous outdoor setting features a verdant lawn and an abundance of free parking. The venue will have a perimeter fence, even though admission is free. The fence allows attendees to enjoy beer and wine (for those 21 years and over), while strolling around the event, rather than having to remain in a beer garden. Guests are asked to show their ID to receive a wristband to be able to purchase alcoholic beverages.
