Exhibit on view November 10 - December 16. Responding to issues affecting our region, our Fall 2025 Museum Studies class has juried, curated, and installed "Reimagining La Linea", an exhibition about migration which highlights the work of thirty artists and two collectives. Migration has been a vital force in the shaping our country, and the San Diego/Tijuana region clearly exemplifies this: a diverse community alive with layered cultures, languages, and traditions from all around the globe. The border wall or “La Linea,” intended as an impenetrable boundary, also reveals itself as porous, with the highest number of lawful daily crossings of any other US port of entry. The artwork bears witness to the human condition at the border as well as to the journeys and dreams carried across it. The exhibition challenged artists to imagine an alternative future where boundaries are fluid sites of connection rather than division. The exhibit transforms the gallery into a space of empathy and imagination, where borders that divide us become bridges that connect us. Join us for the reception on Wednesday, November 12, 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Artists will be present and there will be music by DJ Will Gallaspy, aka The Great Gallaspy.
