This award-winning film reclaims the 1,000-year-old tradition of Black surfing. Braiding historical accounts with modern-day testimonials, Wade in the Water dismantles the racial barriers of conventional surf culture, delves into the overlooked history of Black surfing's legacy, and honors its current movement—inspiring the next generation of Black surfers. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Prof. Caroline Collins (UCSD, Urban Studies and Planning) and featuring: David Mesfin (Director, Wade in the Water), Prof. Kevin Dawson (UC Merced, History, author of Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora) and Risa Bell (Founder, Paddle for Peace). This event is brought to you by Black Like Water, a scholarly research collaboration between Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the 8 Colleges, UC San Diego Recreation, the Black Resource Center, Black Diaspora and African American Studies Program, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. This screening was made possible by support from the UC San Diego Black Studies project and a Healing Through Nature Grant from The Prebys Foundation.
