Come chat with us at the next installment of the San Diego Automotive Museum Curator Talks Series, featuring Dr. Denise Sandoval, professor of Chicana/o Studies at CSU Northridge. Dr. Sandoval, a celebrated advocate for the lowriding community, with over 20 years of experience in researching and curating exhibits, will present "Lowrider Intersections" focusing on the rich, intertwined histories of the lowriding community, with her research and thesis work centered on the Black and Chicano lowriding experience. Her work has been instrumental in destigmatizing lowriding and highlighting its cultural significance. As artist Rubén Ortiz-Torres aptly wrote in 1998, “Style is a function of politics... Today lowrider cars combine and exacerbate old and modern Baroque sensibilities, transforming American cars into the sexualized moving altars of an American dream gone amok.” These rolling works of art encapsulate the intersectionality of Chicana/o culture, blending Mexican and American elements to form a complex tapestry of identity and history. Dr. Sandoval's talk will engage our guests and give a perspective on how lowriding has not only influenced car culture but also empowered communities to gain respect and autonomy over their passions.

The Hausmann Quartet and Maritime Museum of San Diego partner to present the ninth season of Haydn Voyages: Music at the Maritime, a quarterly concert series performed aboard one of the Museum’s historic world-class vessels, the 1898 steam ferryboat Berkeley that operated for 60 years on San Francisco Bay. All concerts are Sundays at 2:30 p.m., and include an intermission for a total length of under two hours. Each creative program will also include informative and entertaining commentary between selections from noted UC Santa Barbara musicologist Derek Katz. The Hausmann Quartet would like to recognize the support of pH Projects, The Conrad Prebys Foundation and the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture. KPBS is the exclusive media sponsor. The study in contrasts that is September’s program will feature the first performance of a work by Johannes Brahms on the Haydn Voyages series, as his final string quartet (opus 67) anchors a program filled with exciting variety, a characteristic we’ve come to expect and appreciate in Haydn’s work; his opus 55, no. 3 on this program certainly offers its share. The afternoon will open with This is It, a 2023 work by Reena Esmail in which she asks “asks the musicians to explore being present with one another…Each movement opens up a tiny, mutually created universe for just a few precious breaths.” Visit: Haydn Voyages Maritime Museum of San Diego on Instagram and Facebook
