Ocean Beach Historical Society presentation Ocean Beach Historical Society will present “Kumeyaay Resistance and \u2018Abusive\u2019 Art at Mission San Diego and the San Diego Presidio” by Richard Carrico at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21 at P.L. United Methodist Church, 1984 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. Do you ever wonder how the Kumeyaay might have resisted Spanish colonization besides sacking Mission San Diego in 1775? Is there any chance that they used art forms to show their disdain for the Spaniards right beneath (and above) the eyes of the colonists?
\nIn this highly informative and engaging talk, historian and anthropologist Carrico will delve into the “dark art” that the Kumeyaay used to continue their ancient artistic practices and their use of symbology.
\nThe Kumeyaay served as laborers at both the mission and presidio and as part of that work effort they formed and fired the adobe roof tiles (tejas) and floor tiles (baldosas) at both outposts. Probably unknown to their supervisors and to Spanish authorities, some Kumeyaay inscribed the wet adobe with images and symbols. Many of the images are comparable to designs in local rock art and on ceramic pots and vessels that predate the arrival of the Spaniards. They include circles, concentric designs, cross-hatching, and what may be human figures. In addition, some of the designs depict things and places on Presidio Hill. Through a series of slides and images, Carrico will guide you back to the 1770-1820 period when the tiles were formed and decorated and then link the art work to a far more ancient period. Carrico will strongly suggest that the images have deep- rooted meaning and form what one scholar has called “abusive art;” art that is meant to reflect cultural persistence and a rejection of some of the Spanish dictates.
