San Diego Mesa College's Fall 2025 Museum Studies class has juried, curated, and installed Reimagining La Linea, an exhibition about migration which highlights the work of 30 artists and two collectives. The exhibit is open through December 16, 2025.
Migration has been a vital force in the shaping the United States, and the San Diego/Tijuana
region clearly exemplifies this: a diverse community alive with layered cultures,
languages, and traditions from all around the globe.
The border wall or “La Linea,” intended as an impenetrable boundary, also reveals
itself as porous, with the highest number of lawful daily crossings of any other US
port of entry. The artwork bears witness to the human condition at the border as well
as to the journeys and dreams carried across it. The exhibition challenged artists
to imagine an alternative future where boundaries are fluid sites of connection rather
than division. The exhibit transforms the gallery into a space of empathy and imagination, where borders that divide us become bridges
that connect us.
The gallery will host a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12. Artists
will be present and there will be music by DJ Will Gallaspy, aka The Great Gallaspy.
The event is free and open to the public.
Gallery Hours: M, T, W, TH 12 - 5 p.m. (Or by appointment.) Closed Fridays, Weekends & Holidays. For additional information, please visit the Mesa Gallery website or call (619) 388-2829.
