Global San Diego

Our region is better known for green energy, biotechnology, beaches and the border, but this is an interesting discussion of the "blue economy." We looked at the future of this burgeoning powerhouse of a city; that it’s sort of like the quiet giant below the tech monster of Northern California and the media and entertainment business in Los Angeles." "The episode, part of the five-part documentary series called 'Streets of Dreams with Marcus Lemonis,' serves to shine a light on the region’s so-called 'Blue Economy,' or the growing industry associated with the sustainable use of ocean resources. As host, Lemonis takes viewers on a tour of important businesses located on a stretch of Harbor Drive that he refers to as an 'under-the-radar, nine-mile gold vein that runs along San Diego’s urban waterfront.'"

"The Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego is glad to announce that The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego will move forward with public programs for the exhibition Yolanda López: Portrait of the Artist. This will be the first solo museum presentation of one of the most important Chicano/a/x artists working in California over the past five decades. The exhibition will present a compendium of 50 pieces of López’s work from the 1970s and early 80s, when she created a vivi...d body of paintings, drawings, and collages that reimagine representations of women within Chicano/a/x culture and mainstream society. In addition, on July 16 the Museum will launch online programming related to themes of Chicanx, Latinx, and Border Art in its permanent collection, held in conjunction with the virtual exhibition To Tame a Wild Tongue: Art after Chicanismo: 5 charlas, from July to November, conducted by curator Alana Hernández."
