Art Produce Gallery in North Park will host a special artist talk featuring the four San Diego-based African American visual artists currently showcased in the exhibition "Lineage + Inheritance." Curated by Kamaal Martin of Art, Power, Equity in partnership with UCSD’s Black Studies Project and Art Produce, "Lineage + Inheritance" presents a trans-generational dialogue between established artists Andrea Rushing and Jean Cornwell alongside emerging talents Mensah Bey and Domonique King. The exhibition, which opened March 13 and runs through April 19, 2025, features new works that frame particular generational perspectives on contemporary issues and the life and liberation of Black people. The artists work across diverse media: Rushing primarily with oil on canvas, Cornwell presenting hand-embellished acrylic prints on paper, Bey creating acrylic paintings oncanvas, and King exploring wood, metal, yarn and textiles. "This exhibition reflects a Black aesthetic grounded in community participation, artistic innovation, and liberation," says curator Kamaal Martin. "These concepts have been explored by artists, scholars, and activists throughout the long history of Black art practices in the Americas." The artist talk offers a rare opportunity to hear these four distinctive creative voices in live conversation, discussing their artistic processes, influences, and the themes that connect their work across generations.

Sequels, reboots, franchises, and songs that remake old songs! Does it feel like everything new in popular culture is just derivative of something else or something old? Contrary to popular belief, the reason is not audiences or marketing, but Wall Street. Join UCSD Media and Popular Culture professor Andrew deWaard for a stimulating discussion of his new book "Derivative Media: How Wall Street Devours Culture" and how hedge funds, asset managers, venture capitalists, private equity firms, and derivatives traders set the tone for the movies, TV, and popular music you enjoy. Professor deWaard shows us how the financial sector is destroying culture by upwardly redistributing wealth. He offers crucial analysis not just for people who oppose corporate behavior for ethical reasons or the takeover of our mediascapes that harms creativity and culture, but also for consumers who simply want to be entertained or have a good time.

Truchard Vineyards is a family-owned winery that has been a cornerstone of the Carneros region in Napa Valley for nearly 50 years. Founded by Tony and Jo Ann Truchard, the estate began as a vineyard dedicated to growing exceptional grapes and played a key role in pioneering viticulture in the region. In 1989, the Truchards established their own winery, crafting wines exclusively from their estate-grown fruit—an approach that reflects their deep connection to the land and dedication to quality winemaking. For this special evening, Anthony Truchard, General Manager of Truchard Vineyards, will guide us through a selection of the winery’s exquisite wines, each thoughtfully paired with a 5-course prix fixe dinner created by Executive Chef Matt Sramek. This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to explore the harmony between exceptional food and wine while gaining insight into the passion and craftsmanship behind every bottle.
