KQED Events - Rocky Rivera with Rightnowish

Join Deep Look, KQED’s wildlife series about small animals and plants, for a special virtual screening exploring these two very unique creatures and meet scientists who study them: Víctor M. Ortega-Jiménez, a biophysicist at Georgia Institute of Technology who studies the acrobatic flight of hummingbirds, and Luis Zambrano González of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, who studies axolotls and specializes in zoology and ecology, restoration and urban ecology.

This event is bilingual in Spanish and English. The videos are narrated in English with subtitles in Spanish. Our host, Deep Look’s Coordinating Producer Gabriela Quirós, will moderate the discussion, including Q&A with our experts, in both Spanish and English.

Carnaval San Francisco is a multicultural celebration of music, dance, and artistry that since 1978 has showcased Latin American, Caribbean and African Diasporics culture and the talents of Mission District residents in an atmosphere of harmony and revelry.

Have you ever wondered how the King and Queen of Carnaval San Francisco are chosen? Meet this year’s fierce contestants as they dance to Latin rhythms while competing for their crowns and titles as King and Queen of this year’s Carnaval Festival!

KQED en Español host Carlos Cabrera-Lomeli talks with new Carnaval San Francisco Executive Director Rodrigo Ehecatl Durán and current leadership Roberto Y. Hernandez, Martha Estrella, and Nancy Obregon about Carnaval's legacy of more than 40 years of uplifting diverse Latinx roots, this year's theme, "Colores de Amor," and the festival's vision for a future of inclusive family and community celebration.

Then celebrate this year's newly crowned festival King and Queen, as they perform their triumphal dance!
