The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) announces "The Dean Collection Presents: Hometown Heroes," a new exhibition opening April 18, 2026, alongside "Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys." To celebrate San Diego’s creative community, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys approached MCASD with the idea of spotlighting local artists from the Dean Collection to accompany the run of "Giants." MCASD collaborated with the Deans to organize "Hometown Heroes," which will feature photographers MJ Pimentel, Oscar Cruz, and Chata, drawn from the Dean Collection, in dialogue with selected works from the museum’s permanent collection by regional artists Andrea Chung, Esteban Cabeza de Baca, and Fox Maxy. Works by Pimentel, Cruz and Chata capture facets of life in San Diego with images that speak to the encroachment of gentrification, a longstanding history of Chicana/o/e activism, lowrider car culture, and community pride. With an eye towards the natural environment, Chung’s cyanotypes of lionfish shed light on the enduring effects of colonialism, while Cabeza de Baca’s layered painting and Maxy’s sculptural video installation point to the cultural and ecologic forces that have shaped the U.S. /Mexico border region. This exhibition celebrates San Diego’s artists and histories born from a recent acquisition made by The Dean Collection. "Neighborhood Visualz," an exhibition showcasing film photographs by Cruz and Pimentel, was on view at Por Vida, a coffee shop and gallery in Barrio Logan, when Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) paid a visit and decided to purchase the entire show. This is in line with the Deans’ unique approach to collecting that centers on forming personal relationships with artists and amplifying voices that have been historically underrepresented. This MCASD exclusive exhibition centers Black, Brown, and Indigenous experiences at a critical time. As the first "Giants" venue incorporating both English and Spanish labels, MCASD continues to further their commitment to highlighting the work of Latino/a/e artists in the broader San Diego community and beyond. Local traditions will also be incorporated into the run of "Giants," starting with a performance and blessing by Danza Mexi’cayotl—one of the oldest and most respected Chichimeca-Azteca dance groups in San Diego County—to kick off the exhibition’s opening celebration. "Hometown Heroes" is curated by MCASD Associate Curator, Amy Crum, and will be on view April 18 through Nov. 8, 2026.

"Die Already" is a queer horror comedy that loves the genre it's skewering, gleefully deploying every slasher convention while turning them inside out. It's bloody, it's funny, it's surprisingly sexy, and it has a lot to say about who gets to survive, and who's been writing the script all along. It's Halloween night in a small gay bar in Hillcrest, and Branigan Prescott has exactly one thing on his mind, ending a two-month dry spell. Dressed as Jason Voorhees with meticulous attention to detail and armed with a rubber machete, he's ready for anything. Or so he thinks. When Chase Hardesty walks in dressed as Kevin Bacon's death scene from "Friday the 13th," it feels like fate. Two horror obsessives, same movie, same night. What follows is flirtation, trivia, dancing and the kind of meet-cute that only happens on Halloween. When Chase's partner Jordan arrives and an invitation back to their isolated cabin is extended, Branigan accepts, double dog dared by his best friend Gary into the adventure of a lifetime. But as the night deepens and the storm closes in, the rules of horror movies Branigan knows so well begin to apply with terrifying literality. Somebody has been doing their research. Somebody has been casting. And the final girl, or in this case, the final boy, is going to have to fight like hell to make it to the last frame. Compulsion Dance & Theatre: Website / Instagram
