Though hospitalization rates have not reached the highs of last winter, the ongoing crush of patients is testing the resources of San Diego’s emergency departments. And California Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria are promoting reforming conservatorship laws in an effort to address homelessness. In other news from Sacramento, state regulators are holding off on considering a proposal that would upend the state’s solar marketplace. Plus, KPBS Arts reporter Beth Accomando checks in at Comickaze, a comic book store she has been going to for decades, to see how it has overcome multiple challenges these past two years. And this year’s California Children’s Report Card has found that, from the pandemic to systemic racism, the state’s youth are under a lot of pressure and more resources are needed to address that. Finally, Jamie Deering, the CEO of Spring Valley’s Deering Banjo Company, joins KPBS Midday Edition to break down some of 2021's best in banjo music — from bluegrass to blues to world and experimental.

Yolanda López: A Studio of One’s Own will reflect on one of the most important Chicano/a/x artist and activist who worked in California over the past five decades, with a special focus on the art produced during her time as an MFA (1979) in the Department of Visual Arts. Yolanda López was born in San Diego in 1942 and passed in 2021. The title for the panel echoes the playful take on her first solo museum exhibition Portrait of the Artist at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Downtown. The exhibition presents a compendium of López’s work from the 1970s and 1980s, when she created a vivid body of paintings, drawings, and collages that investigate and reimagine representations of women within Chicano/a/x culture and society, and where UCSD looms large in the work. Panelists: David Avalos, Cal State University San Marcos Alana Hernandez, Celebración Artística de las Américas Alessandra Moctezuma, San Diego Mesa College Susan Mogul, UC San Diego Alumx Moderator: Ricardo Dominguez, Department of Visual Arts This event is co-sponsored by Chicanx and Latinx Studies, Visual Arts, Latin American Studies, and the Institute of the Americas.

The San Diego City College Photography Department invites you to an opening reception for our new exhibit entitled "Excavation: A Journey Through Loss." See images, installations, and the photo book of the same name by our very own adjunct photography instructor, Jason Reimer, which has recently been published by Daylight Books. The exhibit runs from January 30 through February 10, and the opening reception will be on Saturday, February 4 from 5-7 p.m. in the Luxe Gallery on the 5th floor of the Career Technology Center. Ample street parking is available, as well as parking lot 5, which is located at the northeast corner of 16th and C Street, just across the street from the Career Technology Center where the exhibit takes place. For more information, call the photography department at (619) 388-3281. Made in response to the death of the artist’s sister shortly before the birth of his first child, Jason Reimer’s work ponders the meaning of life, death, suffering, and human nature. It does so in the form of a fragmented, apocalyptic narrative embodied within a book that utilizes multiple textures, substrates, and complex image sequencing.
