New Gallery 201 Exhibition in ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station Navigates the Interplay of Culture, Identity and Existence. Gallery 201 at ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station debuts “Interlaced,” a thought-provoking solo show by Christian Garcia-Olivo that delves into the evolving nature of identity and culture. SAN DIEGO, CA (AUGUST 31, 2024) – ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station, in collaboration with Dinah Poellnitz and The Hill Street Country Club, is thrilled to present a brand-new exhibition opening in Gallery 201 titled Interlaced, a solo showcase by San Diego-based artist Christian Garcia-Olivo. On display from September 12, 2024, to January 10, 2025, this exhibition delves into the intricate interplay between identity, culture, and the fluidity of existence. Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in a realm where the boundaries between self and society blur, unveiling the complexities of navigating spaces of uncertainty. Christian Garcia-Olivo’s work is a reflection of his journey as a queer Chicano artist, delving into tools of cultural heritage, resistance to societal norms, and the tension between personal and communal identities. His signature use of sculptural paint skins, reminiscent of smooth candy paint and woven Mexican textiles, creates a vivid tapestry that challenges conventional perceptions of art, identity, and belonging. Curated by Dinah Poellnitz, the inaugural David G. Fleet Curator-in-Residence at ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station, Interlaced challenges the notion of fixed identity and whose values are inherited and perpetuated. The exhibit reflects the complexities of cultural hybridity, and the strength found in vulnerability, offering a critique of both personal and societal structures. Learn more about the exhibition and artist here. ARTS DISTRICT Liberty Station and Hill Street Country Club invite the community to join them in celebrating the opening of Interlaced from 12 pm to 4 pm on Saturday, September 14 in Gallery 201. The exhibition will be on display in Gallery 201 (2820 Roosevelt Rd #204, San Diego, CA 92106) from 8 am to 8 pm each day through January 10, 2025. The public is invited to stop by Gallery 201 for the opening reception and to view the exhibit during open hours.

Whether you are seeking a physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. This month, we will focus on detoxing the aura and body of unhealthy spiritual energies. When we’re stressed, worried, or feeling ill, these conditions darken the auric field creating a toxic environment in the aura and body. There is a great spiritual purifying energy that can release you of these unhealthy energies, so that you can be recharged with new life force reinvigorating mind, body and soul. The evening will consist of: A presentation on how to work with spiritual energy to remove spiritual toxins from the body. You will be seated in small groups of 3 recipients per Certified Healer, each with a minimum of 5 years of metaphysical training. Specific divine light rays will be directed into your chakras to release negative energies. The divine light will then be used to uplift your consciousness wherever it is needed. The healers will then work on your nervous system to release blockages and revitalize your nerve body. Drawing on a 4,000 year mystical tradition and built on the clairvoyant experiences of Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis over five decades, these aura healing techniques have been endorsed by medical luminaries C.
