"Because We Eat - How Growing Our Food Affects Farmworkers" is a multimedia installation by Antonia Davis that shines a light on the invisible labor behind the food we consume. The centerpiece of the installation is a dining table with a quilted and embroidered tablecloth. Engraved place settings and chairs each tell a story of a farmworker, highlighting the physical, emotional, and social costs of the work that produces the food that sustains us all. Every stitch and detail embodies respect for the resilience, endurance, and dignity of farmworkers. This work asks us to honor their struggles, to acknowledge the fruits of their labor and to see our shared humanity in the act of eating. Davis is a lifelong artivist whose creative practice is rooted in amplifying the voices of marginalized communities. Since 2003, Davis has worked at the intersection of art and social justice, co-founding the San Diego Puppet Insurgency to provide visual storytelling and art builds to grassroots organizations, student groups, and local social movements. This exhibition was previously installed at Centro Cultural de la Raza (March - May 2024) and the Chicano Park Museum (May - October 2024). This installation calls viewers to partake in interactive reflection and it continues to grow through community engagement. We are grateful for the Kroc School of Peace Studies for sponsoring this exhibition.

Award-winning Ovation Theatre proudly presents "Hadestown" opening August 7th in San Marcos. This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone — "Hadestown" invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Anaïs Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Content and Duration: Ovation Theatre's production of "Hadestown" is the Teen Edition adapted specifically for teen actors and family audiences. Viewers should note that this production features some mature, emotional themes (poverty, grief, and authoritarian control) as well as specific sensory effects, including strobe-like lighting, loud sound effects, and haze. The show has a run time of 2 hours and 30 minutes including one intermission and is generally recommended for audiences age 10 and up. Parking Information: Parking is free for all Ovation Theatre audiences with no permit required. We recommend parking in Lots 1 & 2, at the main entrance of Palomar College. For people with accessibility needs, there are handicap parking spaces close to the theatre as well as a roundabout where people can be dropped off just outside the lobby.
