The Coronado Historical Association is inviting the Coronado community to help tell and preserve a largely neglected part of the community's heritage — the history of Coronado’s African-American community. This rich history, which spans over 135 years, is largely absent from the historical record of Coronado. This history includes not just African American residents of Coronado, it also includes those who attended school or worked in Coronado, as well as those who served at Naval Base Coronado. CHA is preparing for an upcoming exhibit that will delve into this valuable history. CHA and local historians have already uncovered many important resources, including photographs, school yearbooks, and newspaper articles, however, CHA is seeking the help of community members to help us learn more about this previously under-researched part of our community history. If you have photographs, documents, or stories to share (from any period,1885-2023) please stop by CHA on Friday, October 13 for Coronado’s African American History Community Collecting Day. CHA staff and volunteers will be on hand to explain more about the exhibit and to help scan photos and capture stories. Please visit here for more information about the event!

Festival de octubre en Baja California: Screening of the documentary "Fandango at the Wall" Festival de octubre concludes its October festivities with the screening of "Fandango at the Wall" (2020), a documentary that takes you along Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra founder/conductor Arturo O'Farrill’s journey through the remotest regions of Veracruz, México in search of musicians. This is where he is met with the masters of 300 year-old folkloric music: san jarocho. The film documents how he and his orchestra join these masters for a son jarocho music and dance festival called ‘Fandango Fronterizo,’ founded by Jorge Francisco Castillo. The two groups combine their musical talent, using elements of division at the U.S./ México border to create unity during Fandango at the Wall, a festival that takes place annually and happens simultaneously on both sides of the border. The event resulted in two recorded albums, one of which received a Grammy-award, a book was also written, and they filmed this HBO max documentary. Fandango is a party where everyone joins the show. This is the spirit that brought this project together and the reason for which we extend our invitation for you to join us as we screen this documentary and have the opportunity to hear from its creators and seal the presentation with a “palomazo,” commonly used to reference a spontaneous musical performance, by some of the film’s musicians. ¡No te pierdas este increíble evento en persona! Únete a nosotros en UC San Diego Park & Market para disfrutar de una proyección especial del documental "Fandango at the Wall." Sumérgete en la rica cultura de Baja California y descubre la belleza del fandango, una tradición musical mexicana. October 16 @ 7 - 9 p.m. UC San Diego Park & Market Guggenheim Theatre

From the gallery: This exhibition is first and foremost about color derived from nature and how they interact with each other. This series of works started with my desire to weave a “black” square in response to the black squares that infamously flooded Instagram accounts on June 2, 2020. The day became known as Blackout Tuesday and was a public response to the murders of multiple black Americans committed by police amidst the global coronavirus outbreak. These weavings are a meditation, a reaction to, and commentary on performative activism. Seeing millions of people post black squares left me internally asking: Why were people posting this black square? Did people really believe this black square would bring about foundational change, stop police brutality, and end systemic racism? Does the activism stop there? What’s next? These pieces were very therapeutic to create, they became a way for me to process and work through melancholy thoughts. This exhibition also draws inspiration from the rapidly changing digital world we exist in today where artists and creatives are losing their jobs and slowly being replaced by artificial intelligence. I playfully think of these as physical NFTs and really enjoy the juxtaposition of taking an ancient craft and attempting to make it look digital and erred. About the artist: Evan Tyler is an interdisciplinary artist born in Los Angeles, California, currently based in San Diego. His work is inspired by ancient things, mythology, architectures of the old world, and enduring traditional crafts, all of which allow him to harken back to another time and discover the practices of his ancestors. Visiting information: On view Oct. 9 to Nov. 18, 2023. Opening Reception: 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14. Gallery hours: 2-5 p.m. Thursday and Friday or by appointment HERE.

November 19, 2022–November 7, 2023 Modern Women celebrates the arrival of twenty works of art to the Museum on indefinite loan from a private collection. Historically marginalized in the art world, many of these artists’ careers, such as those of key Abstract Expressionists Lee Krasner and Elaine de Kooning, were eclipsed by their husbands, Jackson Pollock and William de Kooning, as well as Sonia Delaunay and Francoise Gilot, whose careers were also overshadowed by the successes of their husbands, Robert Delaunay and Pablo Picasso. Yet the contributions of women artists to the development of modern and contemporary art cannot be overstated. The variety of work spans scale, media, and artistic approach—from gestural brushwork, cerebral and meditative works on paper, to photography that questions our identities and popular culture. Intelligent, ironic, and often pushing established boundaries of subject and media, the works and the artists are as diverse and complex as the rapidly shifting centuries in which they were created.
