SUMMARY:Future Ancestral Technologies Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Future Ancestral Technologies is an exhibition by Cannupa Hanska Luger with mixed-media sculpture\, regalia\, and video\, all based in myth\, science fiction\, and Indigenous futurism. \nScience fiction has the power to shape collective thinking and serves as a vehicle to imagine the future on a global scale. Cannupa Hanska Luger’s Future Ancestral Technologies is Indigenous science fiction. It is a methodology\, a practice\, a way of future dreaming\, rooted in a continuum. Future Ancestral Technologies is an approach to making art objects\, video\, and land based performance with the intent to influence global consciousness. This Indigenous-centered science fiction uses creative storytelling to radically reimagine the future. Moving sci-fi theory into practice\, this methodology conjures innovative life-based solutions that promote a thriving Indigeneity. \nThis Indigenous science fiction is characterized by regalia\, tools\, shelter\, transportation\, and technology which invite the viewer to experience multiple points of entry into Luger’s sci-fi narrative and myth telling through multiple symbiotic landscapes. The ongoing narrative developed by installation and land based work articulates future spaces in which Indigenous people harness technology to live nomadically\, reclaiming hyper-attunement to land and water. Luger’s Future Ancestral Technologies is a story\, a methodology\, a practice\, a way of futurism\, that suggests alternative approaches to recognizing the future with reverence. \nUsing art practice to adopt science fiction\, Future Ancestral Technologies is a context for dismantling time to imagine the distant future and dream of sustainable approaches to the lived experiences of the generations to come. Using traditional craft and the act of making creates futuristic potential\, the process imagines\, enacts and prototypes experiences and technologies that promote Indigenous cultures to thrive into the future. \nFuture Ancestral Technologies challenges and empowers humans—from individuals to industries—to visualize an Indigenous future and to practice empathy and resourcefulness in epochs to come. \n“Future Ancestral Technologies looks to customs in order to move us forward\, advancing new materials and new modes of thinking by utilizing science fiction theory\, creative storytelling\, Indigenous technology and contemporary materials and the detritus of capitalism to present time bending landscapes of myth. ” –Cannupa Hanska Luger \nThis exhibition will run from May 12-September 3\, 2023 and is co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute. \nFor full exhibition information please visit: https://www.santacruzmah.org/exhibitions/future-ancestral-technologies \nHeader Image: Future Ancestral Technologies ++ a generation of new myth ++ 3 channel video installation\, featuring monster slayer regalia\, mirí aráda + awá ahbáaxi.

SUMMARY:Bay of Life: From Wind to Whales Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Bay of Life: From Wind to Whales is an exhibition by Frans Lanting and Chris Eckstrom that brings land and sea together for a unified view of Monterey Bay and its natural abundance. The Bay of Life is a unique confluence of land and sea\, energized by the sun\, shaped by the forces of fog and fire\, and influenced by the actions of people. \n“We know of no other place in the world where land and sea connect in such an extraordinary way.”    –Frans Lanting and Chris Eckstrom \nMonterey Bay is the hottest hot spot for biodiversity in all of North America\, according to The Nature Conservancy. It is a place of giants\, from redwood forests on land to forests of kelp offshore. Monterey Bay supports iconic wildlife from secretive mountain lions to majestic blue whales. All survive in a region where far-flung migrants mix with rare local species that live nowhere else in the world. \nThis exhibition brings land and sea together for a unified view of Monterey Bay and its natural abundance. That richness is due to a unique mix of physical features and microclimates\, shaped by the powerful influence of the ocean—and by the actions of people. After the Gold Rush began\, a great demand for natural resources stripped the land of trees and depleted the sea of marine mammals and fish. But that ecological collapse has been reversed in our time. \nBay of Life celebrates a remarkable recovery which shows that damaged ecosystems can be restored when people care and take action together. That may offer a model for other places at a time when we need such stories of hope as we face new challenges of resource stewardship\, habitat connectivity\, and impacts from climate change. \nThis exhibition will run from January 19–April 30\, 2023 and is co-sponsored by Bay Photo Lab and the Humanities Institute. \nFor full exhibition information please visit: https://www.santacruzmah.org/exhibitions/bay-of-life \nProject Core Collaborators: Land Trust of Santa Cruz County\, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary\, Santa Cruz County Office of Education\, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History\, Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History\, Seymour Marine Discovery Center\, Watsonville Wetlands Watch \nHeader Image: Humpback Whales\, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary\, photo by Frans Lanting.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Beyond the World’s End Exhibition at Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History
DESCRIPTION:In our current moment\, apocalyptic narratives are all around us. They tempt us with their catastrophic fatalism and seemingly inescapable dystopias. Against that danger\, it’s crucial to ask how we might imagine a more socially just and ecologically sustainable future? \nBut is the disaster ahead of us or behind us? Many people around the world–including Indigenous peoples and African-Americans surviving colonialism\, genocides\, and the transatlantic slave trade—consider themselves to be already living in a post-apocalyptic present. \nAddressing this complexity of connecting past\, present\, and future\, this exhibition features art and ideas from the end of the world. It invites us to reflect on the injustices that have brought us to our current moment and asks us to consider options for how to proceed. \nFrom a proposal for a Cross-Border Environmental Commons and time machines to queer indigenous hauntings and Afrofuturist montages\, the artworks in this exhibition draw out the intersectional roots of our crisis and seek to think through and visualize\, struggle against and overcome the social and environmental injustices we face. \nThis exhibition and its associated programming addresses competing urgencies and future threats that are a result of past and present injustices. It brings into focus various proposals for imagining emancipatory futures informed by cultivating worlds of justice and equality. \nThe exhibition is part of Beyond the End of the World which comprises a year-long research and exhibition project and public lecture series\, directed by T. J. Demos of UCSC’s Center for Creative Ecologies. The project brings leading international thinkers and cultural practitioners to UC Santa Cruz to discuss what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism\, and asks how we can cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture and administered by The Humanities Institute. For more information visit BEYOND.UCSC.EDU.

SUMMARY:Bridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series)
DESCRIPTION:The Chicano Latino Research Center and Institute for Humanities Research present\nLeading labor and migration scholar\, Bridget Anderson\, for the inaugural event in a series of events on Non-citizenship\, our 2016-17 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture.. \n \nBridget Anderson: The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion (Non-citizenship series) 10.6.16 from IHR on Vimeo \nEVENT PHOTOS: by Steve Kurtz\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.  \nIn her keynote address\, “The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly:  Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion\,” Professor Anderson explores citizenship as both a legal status and moral claim. She examines what attention to debates about migration exposes about the nature of the “good citizen” and the rise of the worker citizen. Rather than seeing migrants and citizens as competitors for the privileges of membership\, she argues for the importance of politics that are attentive to the connections between the non-citizen migrant and the “failed citizen” on welfare or with a criminal record.  This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nSylvanna Falcón\, associate professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at UC Santa Cruz\, will facilitate the discussion following Professor Anderson’s remarks. \nPhoto exhibit Expulsion: Stories of Displacement from Colombia\, India\, Mexico and the United States\, co-curated by Claudia Maria Lopez\, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar Graduate Student Fellow. \nBridget Anderson is Professor of Migration and Citizenship and Deputy Director at the Centre on Migration\, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford. She is the author of numerous publications\, including Us and Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Controls (Oxford University Press\, 2013) and Doing the Dirty Work? The Global Politics of Domestic Labour (Zed Books\, 2000). Exploring the tension between labor market flexibilities and citizenship rights\, she has pioneered an understanding of the functions of immigration in key labor market sectors. Her interest in labor demand has meant an engagement with debates about trafficking\, modern day slavery\, state enforcement\, and deportation. She is particularly concerned with the ways immigration controls increasingly impact citizens and migrants alike. \nLocation:\nSanta Cruz Museum of Art and History (705 Front Street\, Santa Cruz) \nEvent details:\nReception at 6:30pm / Lecture at 7:00pm \nAdmission:\nFree and open to the public\, but attendees are asked to register in advance. \nREGISTER HERE \nOther Events with Bridget Anderson\nFriday\, September 16\, 11:00am-1:00pm\, Charles E.

Mellon Foundation John E. Sawyer Seminar on the Comparative Study of Culture.

Non-citizenship is organized around three themes: “Forced Migration” (fall 2016)\, “Labor Mobility and Precarity” (winter 2017)\, and “Fluidity of Status: Migrants\, Citizens\, Denizens” (spring 2017). Click here to learn more.
