SUMMARY:The Land of Milk and Honey Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Land of Milk and Honey is a traveling multidisciplinary arts and culture program focused on the ideological concept of agriculture in the regions of California and Mexico. Drawing inspiration from John Steinbeck’s portrayal of the region as a corrupted Eden\, the biennial presents works that question ethical\, cultural and regional practices related to foodways\, and the venture from seed to table. The biblical reference of a “land of milk and honey” first became associated with California as a tool for promoting the state as a land of opportunity; a destination for those in search of a better way of life – a terra firma that would provide sustenance and abundance. This boosterism also served as an ethos that fueled “Manifest Destiny” and resulted in land grabs\, labor exploitation\, ecological destruction\, and social injustices. \nThis inaugural exhibition explores artists’ views around multi-layered topics associated with agriculture including environmental impacts\, cultural culinary traditions\, identity and migration\, regional histographies\, and familial and mythical connections to food. The exhibition will run from September 1–December 31\, 2022. \nHeader Image: Fernando Armenghol\, Sol2Soul Art Collective (2016)\, La Cosecha Sagrada\, digital photograph.

SUMMARY:Sandra Cisneros\, Woman Without Shame: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling and award-winning author Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street) will be coming to campus for an in-person event to celebrate the release of her brave new collection\, Woman Without Shame: Poems. This ticketed event\, which will take place at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn\, is cosponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz and the Research Center for the Americas at UC Santa Cruz. Tickets include entry to the event and a copy of Woman Without Shame. \nPlease note that this event is now SOLD OUT \nIt has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published a book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems\, Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs\, elegies\, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory\, desire\, and the essential nature of love blaze a path toward self-awareness. For Cisneros\, Woman Without Shame is the culmination of her search for home—in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart. \nSANDRA CISNEROS is a poet\, short story writer\, novelist\, essayist\, performer\, and artist. Her numerous awards include NEA fellowships in both poetry and fiction\, a MacArthur Fellowship\, national and international book awards\, including the PEN America Literary Award\, and the National Medal of Arts. More recently\, she received the Ford Foundation’s Art of Change Fellowship\, was recognized with the Fuller Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature\, and won the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. In addition to her writing\, Cisneros has fostered the careers of many aspiring and emerging writers through two nonprofits she founded: Macondo Writers and the Alfredo Cisneros del Moral Foundation. As a single woman she made the choice to have books instead of children. A citizen of both the United States and Mexico\, Cisneros currently lives in San Miguel de Allende and makes her living by her pen. \n

SUMMARY:Our Mutual Friend Discussion Series: Parts I-V
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Karen Hattaway (San Jacinto College) for a series of discussions about the book that stunned Conrad and Dostoevsky.  \nOur Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens \nSept. 25\, Oct. 23\, Nov. 27\, and Jan. 22 at 1:00-3:00 PM (PDT) | Virtual Events \nCharles Dickens published Our Mutual Friend in twenty monthly parts from May 1864 to November 1865. It was the fourteenth and final novel in his vast corpus of novels\, only to be followed by The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1870)\, which remained unfinished at the time of his death. \nMurder\, Money\, Marriage\, and Mounds… of dust\, of human refuse\, of cultural debris\, of industrial by-production. These are the grand themes and objects this novel’s world spawns\, with such horrible inevitability you will think its Thames river-mud could foster spontaneous generation. For the world of Our Mutual Friend is a dirtied and cynical place. Here\, even literacy and education–the “power of knowledge” that give heart and decency to Pip and Biddy in Great Expectations–may become\, in the wrong hands\, mechanical instruments for self-aggrandizement. And the good may need all the wiles of the bad to manufacture a happy ending. \nReading Schedule \n\n\n\n\nSep. 25 \n\n\nBook the First: The Cup and the Lip – Chapters 1-17\, Parts I-V \n\n\n\n\n\nOct. 23 \n\n\nBook the Second: Birds of a Feather – Chapters 1-16\, Parts VI-X \n\n\n\n\n\nNov. 27 \n\n\nBook the Third: A Long Lane – Chapters 1-17\, Parts XI-XV \n\n\n\n\n\nJan. 22 \n\n\nBook the Fourth: A Turning – Chapters 1-16\, Parts XVI-XX \n\n\n\n\n\nThis series of discussions is presented by the Santa Cruz Pickwick Club / Santa Cruz Dickens Fellowship with support from the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. \nMore information: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/pickwick-club/index.html \nRegistration: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIpf-mppjsuHd3RdY9mqMeH-FloGyFbM-MQ
