On View: April 2 through May 3 Humanities Center Gallery, Saints Tekakwitha and Serra Hall Joan Perlman is a multi-disciplinary artist who has exhibited widely and received numerous awards and fellowships for her work inspired by the volcanic landscape of Iceland. Her videos, paintings, and drawings consider the raw, convulsive beauty of this place while drawing attention to the perils of accompanying glacial melt. As the artist herself has noted, “The experience of observing nature over an extended period of time in this subpolar region of the earth reveals the troubling presence of climate change, which includes receding glaciers and warming temperature trends.” Perlman’s work both documents and resists the morphing terrains that compel her. Recent videos such as "Dispersion" (2015), "Break" (2014) and "What Remains" (2011), combine spectacular footage of moving ice and water with original soundtracks made in collaboration with a range of composers. As part of the ongoing Screenings series, the Humanities Center will debut Perlman’s most recent video project, "Sweep" (2024), for San Diego audiences. The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For Information on Parking, visit here.

Cara Romero is a member of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, and was raised between the contrasting settings of the reservation in Mojave Desert, California and the urban sprawl of Houston, Texas. Romero’s identity informs her visceral approach to representing cultural memory, collective history, and lived experience from a female Native American perspective. Romero is focused on researching historical and contemporary narratives of identity and heritage. By staging theatrical compositions infused with dramatic color, she takes on the role of storyteller, using contemporary photographic techniques to depict the modernity of Indigenous culture, illuminating Native worldviews alluding to the supernatural in everyday life. The exhibition is divided into three sections—Native California, Imagining Indigenous Futures, and Native Woman. Exhibition: April 27 - Oct. 20, 2024 Hours: 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Thursday - Sunday Visit: mopa.org/exhibition/the-artist-speaks-cara-romero/ Cara Romero Photography on Facebook / Instagram Museum of Photographic Arts at The San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram

“The Pleasure of Your Company” music series welcomes back celebrated pianist Dmitry Kirichenko on Sunday, February 11, at 2:30 p.m. at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center. His playing, described by Paris music critic Claude Taelman as “warm sensitivity heightened by his delicate touch and great technical mastery,” is a perfect match for the Library’s fine Schimmel piano. The program will include works by Debussy, Mozart, Schubert, and Chopin. A graduate of the Moscow and Odessa Conservatories, Dr. Kirichenko has performed throughout the United States and Europe. There is no charge for the concert, which is sponsored by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library, although donations are appreciated. Masks are recommended but not required at this time. Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center is located at 10301 Scripps Lake Drive. It should be noted that due to a parking lot expansion project, onsite parking is currently somewhat limited.
