Yang Jiang (b. 1988, China) is a San Diego–based artist and therapist whose tactile and dreamlike creations embody emotional liberation and spiritual freedom. Shimmering like artifacts from a fairy tale, her pieces use light, texture, and sculptural forms to convey a sense of vulnerability and resilience. A testament to the beauty and complexity of spiritual survival, Jiang’s work offers viewers a poignant reminder of the courage and tenderness of the human heart. Her art has been exhibited at the Athenaeum Art Center, Visual Art + Supply, Revision San Diego, and the Brown Building. Jiang is a graduate of Wellesley College and the University of San Diego. I Thought I’d Be Braver, Jiang’s debut solo exhibition, is a decade-long chronicle of her journey toward emotional courage. Her early work, characterized by bold colors and harsh textures, reflects the pain of repressed emotions and a fear of vulnerability. Gradually, this aesthetic softens into one of sheer, vibrant hues and delicate layers, mirroring her internal shift toward nurturance, forgiveness, and compassion. This evolution in her style reflects the brave heart of a wounded healer who has confronted her shadow and embraced self-acceptance, demonstrating that true courage lies in acknowledging and integrating one’s emotions. The exhibition can be viewed in the Catherine and Robert Palmer Gallery at the Athenaeum Art Center (1955 Julian Avenue, San Diego, CA 92113) during open gallery hours, Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and every second Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., during the Barrio Art Crawl, and by appointment.

The 21st Century India Center at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy in Strategy (GPS) invites you to a timely discussion on the U.S. government’s recent decision to impose increased tariffs on key Indian industries, which are set to take effect on Aug. 27. This discussion will bring together leading voices from academia and business to unpack what’s at stake for both nations. Panelists will explore U.S. and Indian interests, incentives, and the likely responses in the coming weeks, drawing on lessons from recent trade events such as Brexit and the U.S.-China trade war. Academic experts, including Dean Caroline Freund and Professor Kyle Handley of GPS, will examine the potential impacts of the new tariffs on the private sector in both countries, on global trade patterns and on the broader U.S.-India relationship. From the business perspective, former Ambassador Atul Keshap (president of the U.S.-India Business Council) and Arun Kumar (managing partner at Celesta Capital) will share insights into how companies are reacting: near-term operational shifts, long-term adaptation strategies, and the risks and opportunities they see in a changing trade landscape. Both Keshap and Kumar will also draw on their diplomatic experiences to offer unique perspectives on the historical context and insights for navigating this critical moment in U.S.-India trade. Professor Achyuta Adhvaryu, director of the 21st Century India Center will serve as moderator. Join us for an informed, nuanced conversation to understand the economic realities and strategic choices shaping the future of trade between the U.S. and India. This webinar is organized by the 21st Century India Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). For more information on India activities, please visit india.ucsd.edu.
