The San Diego History Center is launching a new exhibit, Celebrate San Diego: Black History & Heritage. This initiative partners with, listens to, shares milestones, and captures physical and digital elements reflecting this vibrant community’s unique history. The exhibit invites contributions from the community. Here is what the exhibit organizers say about the project:
Celebrate San Diego: Black History & Heritage is a new project of the San Diego History Center. More than an exhibition with a limited life span, this initiative is multi-layered and has life in the physical, the digital, as well as the SDHC permanent collection to be shared and studied for generations to come. Celebrate is an unfolding exhibition that’s not complete without on-going community crowd-sourced insights, information and items.
The California Center for the Arts, Escondido Museum is providing digital content each Monday for their exhibition “Campus Creatives.” The exhibit highlights the artworks of 56 artists teaching in San Diego County’s colleges. Follow the museum on social media for a short interview, studio tour, or video from a different artist in the exhibition.
Ryan Bulis and Sasha Koozel Reibstein participate in the event. You can tag and find the museum on social media using @theccae

Artists Todd Gray, Cauleen Smith, and Ken Gonzales-Day, each with distinct approaches to photo-based practices, discuss how they integrate concepts of identity and explore the tensions between refusal and inclusion. These artists are all native to California and their experiences as professors and artists reinforce the importance of place and community. Addressing themes from the forthcoming exhibition Photo Flux: Unshuttering LA, they’ll discuss their commitment to creating and expanding opportunities for emerging artists to stand, flex, and grow.
The event is free and online Feb.25 at 5pm. You must register for the talk.
