Exploring the space between order and imagination, where the inner life resists control and remains beautifully alive, Hee Jung Kwon's paintings place small, quietly expressive figures within structured systems that attempt to define and contain. In this in-between space, emotion endures -- playful, vulnerable, and profoundly human. Join us for a reception and meet the artist!

Introducing...Cinema Club! A new monthly program which includes a film screening followed by a community discussion for cinephiles and movie lovers interested in having thought-provoking conversations about cinema. This month's featured film is "Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" (2021) in celebration of Black History Month. A powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record—created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture, and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just 100 miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park. The footage was largely forgotten—until now. "Summer of Soul" shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and more. 1h 58m. Rated PG-13. Light refreshments provided. Held on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. Each February, San Diego Public Library honors Black History Month, by celebrating culture and community, and recognizing the achievements—as well as the continuing struggles—of Black Americans Visit: https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/event/cinema-club-461996
