As part of OTC at the Brooks’ new film series, Movies at The Brooks, "Top Gun: Maverick" takes to the skies with free screenings on Saturday, April 26 at 12 p.m., 4 p.m., and 8 p.m. Thanks to a generous grant from Las Patronas, OTC is bringing cinema back to the historic Sunshine Brooks Theater (217 North Coast Highway, Oceanside, Calif.), now featuring a state-of-the-art screen and projector. After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is where he belongs—pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and avoiding the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he’s tasked with training a group of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission, Maverick meets Lt. Bradley Bradshaw, call sign “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend, Goose. Facing his own past and deepest fears, Maverick is drawn into a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those chosen to fly it. Reserve your seat at OceansideTheatre.org.

Rooted in African-American freedom struggles and Igbo cosmology, The Skeuomorph unfolds as a poetic meditation on technological agency and the myths we encode in our machines. At the center of the exhibition stands BLKBX (BB)—a sculptural object, a "smarter" speaker and a speculative AI entity trained on documents of African American and African Diasporic histories, biographies and philosophies of freedom. Through a multisensory installation featuring reimagined political speeches, archival fragments, and layered sonic environments, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how history reverberates in the present—shaping the voices we amplify, the ones we silence, and the futures we imagine. Co-sponsored by the Department of Visual Arts Visiting Speaker Series, this event includes panel discussion with Louis Chude-Sokei, Professor and George and Joyce Wein Chair of English and Director of the African American and Black Diaspora Studies Program at Boston University; in addition to recently publishing The Sound of Culture: Diaspora and Black Technopoetics (2015), Chude-Sokei collaborated with Berlin based electronic artists Mouse on Mars, with whom he produced the album Anarchic Artificial Intelligence (2021). Event moderated by Amy Alexander, Professor of Visual Arts and Gallery QI committee co-chair and Robert Twomey, Assistant Teaching Professor of Visual Arts and Committee Member of the Department of Visual Arts Visiting Speaker Series. Chude-Sokei and Mendi Obadike will participate via Zoom. Gallery QI on Facebook / Instagram
