The HSCC x Club Boutika’s approach to High Tea is to unify the different sectors of creatives within the San Diego area to underline the rich, meaningful & diverse culture we share across communities of color. High Tea is a concept that originated in England during the 1700s, preserving the idea of catering/serving tea and confections to the white-elite, aristocrats and the wealthy throughout the hours of afternoon to supper in a leisurely and posh fashion. In the early 19th century, Black Tea Rooms were created for the upper crust of black society after being excluded from white-run tea rooms post-slavery.

The Hill Street Country Club x Club Boutika acknowledge that Oceanside and Goat Hill Park mark ancestral land that was wrongfully stolen from the Kumeeyay and Luiseño peoples. The HSCC extends its respect and gratitude to the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples who have lived here since time immemorial. Today, the Kumeyaay and Luiseño peoples continue to maintain their political sovereignty and cultural traditions as vital members of the San Diego Community. High Tea is a reclamation of community, culinary, and culture, and we understand that our work is not done until our indigenous siblings are liberated, celebrated and affirmed along side all members of Turtle Island. Settler colonialism is an ongoing issue and we must continue to build our mindfulness of our present participation, and encourage our community to do the same.

The time period for the Spanish Baroque begins roughly in the 1580s and ends in the early 1700s. The art from this region is characterized by visual realism which was consistent with the rest of Europe. Spanish painters also frequently used dark colors and incorporated tenebrism, or strong light sources against primarily black backgrounds. Perhaps the more sombre style that evolved in Spain at this time was a result of Spain's war defeats at the hands of the Netherlands and England, which greatly affected their finances. Spanish Baroque painters were often sponsored by the Catholic Church. They were also heavily supported by the devout Hapsburg emperors who responded well to the severe and noble style of Catholic Counter-Reformation art, which brought religious themes to the masses. It was also the Spanish school in combination with the Dutch Baroque artist who importantly guided European painting toward more naturalism in painting. Spanish masters such as Diego Velasquez, Franciso de Zurbaran, and Juan Sanchez Cotan, and others will be highlighted in this docent-led talk. Follow on social media! Facebook + Instagram

From San Diego weekend arts events (KPBS feature): Friday night, catch a screening of Marvel's 2018 movie "Black Panther" at The Shell, with the San Diego Symphony performing Ludwig Göransson’s incredible score live. Featured in the performance is the Senegal-based musician Massamba Diop, who performs on the "talking drum," or dùndún, which was used in the soundtrack to underscore the actions of T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman). Diop himself can be heard in the actual soundtrack, and will be joining the San Diego Symphony for this performance. The instrument, generally a hourglass, tension drum with a head on each side, is known as the talking drum for a reason: it truly can mimic the speech patterns of the Yorùbá language and is used by Yorùbá drummers to share poetry, prayers or announcements. Here's a segment about Massamba Diop from WBUR's Here & Now program from 2018. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Anthony Parnther, conductor Massamba Diop, talking drum soloist San Diego Symphony Orchestra In 2018 Marvel Studios’ Black Panther quickly became a global sensation and cultural phenomenon, showing a new dimension of what Super Hero films could be. Rolling Stone raved, “The film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected. But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.” Now you can relive the excitement of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) becoming king and battling Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) all while the San Diego Symphony Orchestra performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar®-winning score live to picture.
