Como cualquier otra ciudad, Tijuana tiene su folklore y sus leyendas escalofriantes. Una de esas historias es la leyenda de La Faraona, la bailarina que ronda los terrenos de lo que solía ser el viejo Resort y Casino Agua Caliente, ahora la preparatoria Lázaro Cárdenas. Hablamos con Fernando Escobedo, historiador de Tijuana que ha investigado la vida de Esperanza López Padilla, la mujer detrás de la Faraona. También escuchamos a Ursula Mansur, una actriz de Tijuana que ha dedicado gran parte de su trayectoria profesional a interpretar a La Faraona.

"Convergence" by Duke Windsor brings together two distinct artistic styles—textured urban abstracts and realistic alleyway scenes—to explore the raw beauty and hidden stories of city life. Through layers of paint, rich textures, and touches of gold leaf, Windsor captures the interplay between gritty urban surfaces and the vibrant experiences they reflect. His detailed alleyway paintings, inspired by thousands of photographs, contrast with expressive abstract works, revealing the unseen narratives within our built environment. Convergence invites viewers to consider the ways our cities shape us, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the ever-evolving landscapes we call home. The exhibition will be on view from March 8 – May 4, with an opening reception on March 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sparks Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

About this Program The attack on Israel by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 opened a new chapter in the turbulence history of the post-Ottoman Levant. A low-grade war between Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel begun on Oct. 8, 2023 exploded in September 2024 with devastating effect on both Hezbollah and the Lebanese population and infrastructure. Shifting power balances in the Levant and beyond contributed to the unexpectedly sudden collapse of the seeming impregnable Assad regime after 14 years of civil war. To understand the outlines of any potential emerging orders in Syria and Lebanon it is crucial to understand the history and forces driving today’s fragmented, yet interrelated Levant. Michael Provence, a specialist in modern middle eastern history, will present via Zoom the broad historical context in which recent developments in Syria & Lebanon have occurred. He will discuss the late Ottoman period, the colonial & post-colonial periods in the Levant, the emergence of Israel, the rise of Assad, the fall of Lebanon into civil war, and the emergence of Hezbollah - including its role as a proxy/client of Iran. A Q&A session will follow his presentation. Free to members & the public, available via Zoom. Pre-registration required. About Michael Provence Michael Provence teaches modern Middle East history, focusing on the 20th-century Arab East. He received a B.A in History from U.C. Berkeley in 1994 and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2001. During 2017-2018 he was Chercheur Résident (Research Fellow in Residence), Institut d’Etudes Avancées de Nantes, France. In 2010-11 and 2014, Provence was an Alexander von Humboldt fellow at the Zentrum Moderner Orient in Berlin, Germany. In 2024-25, he is a visiting professor at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. He is the author of two books and many articles. The books are "The Great Syrian Revolt and the Rise of Arab Nationalism" (2005) and "The Last Ottoman Generation and the Making of the Modern Middle East" (2017). Both available in Arabic and Turkish. Provence lived and studied over the course of many years in several Middle Eastern countries, particularly Syria and Lebanon, between 1998 and 2006. He returns as often as possible.
