SUMMARY:Intonations: Songs from the Violins of Hope
DESCRIPTION:The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music\, America’s longest-running festival of new orchestral music\, presents its second-ever virtual season over two weekends in Summer 2021: July 31-August 1\, and August 7-8. \nCabrillo Festival’s presentation of composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer’s INTONATIONS: Songs from the Violins of Hope is the culmination of an extensive SF Bay Area collaboration begun in 2020 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. “The Violins of Hope” are a collection of violins of the Holocaust\, many used in the concentration camps\, which have been meticulously restored by Israeli luthiers Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein. Inspired by James Grymes’ book “Violins of Hope\,” INTONATIONS tells the extraordinary tale of six of these storied instruments. Directed by Elena Park with cinematography by Frazer Bradshaw\, this moving work features mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke\, violinist Benjamin Beilman\, the St. Lawrence String Quartet\, and youth violinist Thais Chernyavski performing the full chamber version of the work. The 45-minute performance interweaves portions of the orchestral version of the music\, recorded remotely by the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra. \nClick here for more information on how to join and the program notes: https://cabrillomusic.org/2021-season/intonations-concert/ \nSupport for this event was provided by the Humanities Institute\, the Neufled Levin Chair in Holocaust Studies\, and Temple Beth El.

SUMMARY:Slugs and Steins: The Neurodiversity Perspective of Autism: What it is and How it Matters
DESCRIPTION:According to the neurodiversity perspective some neurocognitive differences that are taken to be disorders should instead be understood as forms of human diversity. Proponents of this perspective\, as it applies to autism\, claim that autism is an ineliminable aspect of an autistic person’s identity and that atypical functioning and modes of experience associated with autism are made disabling by lack of accommodation by society\, not by the condition itself. This talk will critically examine conceptual\, ethical\, and political dimensions of the neurodiversity perspective on autism to explore its significance both within the academy and outside it. \n \nJanette Dinishak is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Associate Director of the Center for Public Philosophy at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She specializes in the philosophy of psychology and psychiatry\, the 20th century Austrian philosopher\, Ludwig Wittgenstein\, and the ethics and epistemology of other minds. Much of her research and teaching takes an interdisciplinary perspective and focuses on autism\, disability\, neurodiversity\, and the pathologization of human differences.

SUMMARY:A Year Ago Today: Communities Reflect on the CZU Lightening Complex Fires
DESCRIPTION:“As a way to begin talking about the disaster\, we invited people to bring in objects found in the ashes of their homes to be photographed and to tell us the stories these objects conjure. The objects salvaged from the ashes and the stories that emerge\, build\, one to the next\, revealing details of daily life\, the power of nature and the fragility of the world we have created.” —Shmuel Thaler and Nikki Silva \nJoin Shmuel Thaler\, Nikki Silva\, and collaborators from across the county as we collectively reflect on the one year anniversary of the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Firesand imagine a path forward together. This event will highlight the stories of those affected by these fires as part of the MAH’s new exhibition Out of the Ashes\, which features an ongoing film and audio archiving project by Shmuel and Nikki who began collaborating with MAH in September 2020 to document and record some of the personal stories of those who were impacted by these devastating fires. \nThe evening will also feature a preview screening of Contents Inventory by local filmmaker Irene Lusztig who has also been working closely with affected members of the community to document and share their stories. We hope you’ll join us at the MAH for an evening of collective storytelling and visioning our next steps as a community that continues to deal with the threat of fire and climate change. Comments and recommendations provided during this program will help shape an ongoing series of programs that will run throughout the year. \nThis event is presented with support from the Humanities Institute\, the James Dolkas and Karl Mertz Memorial Fund at the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County\, Kitchen Sisters Productions\, and California Humanities.
