The workshop includes four sessions, beginning on July 30 and ending on Aug. 8, and each session is two hours long. Attendance is not required, but it is highly recommended. Students can register for the workshops now at cplevents.org.
6 Tuesday: Celebrating San Diego and Tijuana as the 2024 Word Design Capital, Rene Peralta will discuss the urban border between the United States and Mexico, specifically between the cities of Tijuana and San Diego in “Cultural Imaginaries and Border Narratives: A Speculative Design Perspective.”
Peralta will explore the transformative intersection of speculative design with cultural identities at the US/Mexico border. This presentation at 7 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room delves into how architects and designers harness speculative design to construct and deconstruct the cultural narratives that define physical and metaphorical borders.
7 Wednesday: Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents Film Forum Coronado, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room.
On Aug. 7, the film “The Cassandra Cat” will be featured.
The free event takes place in the library’s Winn Room, and will feature brief introductions to films by film expert Ralph DeLauro, followed by discussions on how lighting and camera angles can contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
10 Saturday: Join the library to learn the art of quilling at 10:30 a.m. in the Winn Room of the Coronado Public Library.
Paper quilling is an art form that involves rolling, shaping and gluing strips of paper to create decorative designs. These paper shapes can be used on their own or to decorate objects such as greeting cards, pictures, boxes, or jewelry.
If you’re interested in attending this workshop, registration is required at cplevents.org. Spaces are limited, so each person must register individually.
