It’s finally the time of year where your dirndl starts getting some mileage. Pretzels count as a vegetable, and steins of beer count as “good enough” for your daily water intake. The end of September marks the beginning of Oktoberfest season in San Diego. If Germanic bread water isn’t the way you’d rather ring in the autumnal season, there are plenty of other events going on in San Diego. Because it’s still too nice outside to spend the weekends on your seventh Gilmore Girls rewatch. (Save that for December. Maybe Rory will get it right this time.)

Here’s a preview of what’s on the docket this weekend. Head to sdmag.com to read our full guide.

Join @secretcity.socal and @taller.california.books for the launch of INSURGENT ARCHIVES FROM THE SECRET CITY on Saturday August 29th at 6pm at @bestpracticeok

This artist book traces San Diego's antiwar movement within the military from 1969 to 1972 through a collection of photographs, periodicals, and publications.

Supported by eights years of research and interviews with elder activists, artist Evan Apodaca pairs long-forgotten archival treasures with his own written interpretations. In doing so, the artist reframes this movement as a strategy for anti-imperialist organizing-offering a provocative template for the present.

We will hear from the artist and the folks who helped preserve the archive and embark on a discussion about generational shifts in approaches to agitprop. Video interviews will also be on view in the gallery.

🗓️Saturday August 29th
⏰6-8pm

There’s only a few more days left to catch mine and mika’s two-person show at BEST PRACTICE!!! This show was truly one of my dreams and I’m so grateful it got to happen. Thank you to everyone who has seen it, hovered in the space, and had coffee with me here!

This cyanotype concealed by a translucent curtain made of piña barong fabric features imagery taken from the exterior of Vien Dong, a grocery store that makes me feel at home, and family portraits that still hang in my family’s home. This veil becomes a way to withhold, allowing viewers some legibility but denying total access to the image. The curtain is an echo of the domestic, the body, a barrier, and here acts as a layer of protection. During our opening, I saw two people look around and then flip the curtains open for a peek (girl, do NOT touch the art!). As a friend said about my ICA show, “you give so much, and people still want more.” 🤲🏼😶‍🌫️

… And love dares you to care for [a michelada with San Miguel] is up through August 15!
