Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation.

From microscopic particles in matter to human minds on the internet\, these interactions can produce remarkable examples of “em ergence”\, or complex behavior that cannot be predicted from individual parts.\nPhysicists remain deeply puzzled by emergence\, as it produces rem arkable properties observed in some materials. The mystery extends beyond physics to the rise of life\, the existence of consciousness\, and even th e spread of internet memes. In this lecture\, Roger Melko will follow comm on threads connecting these phenomena to the most striking recent example of emergence\, artificial intelligence.\nAI may itself offer new tools for unravelling the mysteries of emergence. Melko will describe how we are al ready using it to understand and control complex quantum systems\, includi ng quantum computers. Finally\, he will ask whether a deeper understanding of hierarchies of emergence could allow us to harness it as a scientific and technological resource.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nRoger Melko is a theore tical physicist at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He earned his PhD from UCSB\, where he studied co mputational approaches to quantum matter. He then spent two years at Oak R idge National Laboratory developing quantum simulations for some of the la rgest computers in the world\, before returning to Canada to take up his p rofessorship at Waterloo.\nFor the last decade\, his research has explored the emerging relationship between artificial intelligence\, condensed mat ter physics\, and quantum science. His current work aims to bring AI and q uantum computers together\, creating a virtuous cycle in which intelligent machines help accelerate the development of quantum computers\, and new A I/quantum hybrids open entirely new frontiers in complexity and intelligen ce for physicists to explore.\n\n \n\nReception at 5PM\, Talk at 6PM\n\nPa rking will be provided in Lot 10\nIn-Person RSVP: https://lp.constantconta ctpages.com/ev/reg/2cc2tpv\nRegister to watch online (if unable to attend in-person): https://ucsb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ozZQzMMvRvyCZOGa5jyI_ Q#/registration\n\nPlease contact friends@kitp.ucsb.edu for more informati on LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T180051Z URL:https://www.campuscalendar.ucsb.edu/event/artificial-intelligence-and- the-age-of-emergence X-SOURCE-NAME:UC Santa Barbara Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.campuscalendar.ucsb.edu/lotte_lehmann_concert_hal l_198 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Creating Community Through Books: 20 Years of UCSB Reads DTSTART:20260916T150000Z DTEND:20260916T230000Z DTSTAMP:20260729T182503Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_51438567391632 CATEGORIES:community,literary DESCRIPTION:Since 2007\, UCSB Reads has fostered a shared sense of belongi ng by bringing the UCSB campus and Santa Barbara communities together to r ead a common book that explores compelling issues of our time.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions.

United States\, 1945–2021). Known for her temporary public installations and performances\, Sherk developed her ini tial landscape architectural intervention Portable Parks I–III (1970\, w ith Howard Levine) by temporarily transforming San Francisco urban “dead spaces” into lush\, living environments complete with sod\, palm trees\ , and live animals. Sherk expanded this approach as the founding director from 1974 to 1980 of Crossroads Community (the farm)\, also known simply a s The Farm\, an experimental community art and ecology center. Active unti l 1987\, The Farm reconnected parcels of land fragmented by freeway constr uction\, conceptualized new uses for overlooked urban landscapes\, and lai d the foundation for a global movement to reclaim urban spaces.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists\, as wel l as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly t ransferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs\, collages\, w orks on paper\, artist books\, printed matter\, and ephemera documenting S herk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s a nd 1980s.\n\nThe AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year i nitiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027)\, which cele brates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97)\, the first internati onal magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming\, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feat ure in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of t he exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied dis ciplinary interests.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organ ized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions.

Prien Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences\, UCSF.\n\nDescription\nIn 2020\, AlphaFold transform ed the field of structural biology by using artificial intelligence (AI) t o solve a problem researchers had worked on for over fifty years: predicti ng the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Its success was made possi ble in part by the extensive collection of protein structures that biologi sts have openly shared in the Protein Data Bank since 1971. AlphaFold demo nstrates how research shared today can enable discoveries that its creator s may never have anticipated.\n\nDrawing on his experiences as a structura l biologist\, Dr. Fraser will explore what it means to practice open scien ce as new technologies reshape how research is conducted and shared. He wi ll discuss how data increasingly have both human and machine audiences\, a s well as the debate over the missing AlphaFold3 code. Dr. Fraser will als o reflect on the research questions he chooses to tackle because AI still cannot solve them\, and why reviewing the work of others is one of the bes t ways to learn how to become a scientist.\n\nSpeaker Bio\nDr. James Frase r is the Ernest L. Prien Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioengin eering and Therapeutic Sciences at UC San Francisco (UCSF). He received hi s PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and was an EMBO Short -Term Fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel before beginni ng his independent research career at UCSF.\n\nDr. Fraser’s research exp lores how proteins move and change shape — and how these dynamics influe nce their biological functions. His lab combines experimental and computat ional approaches to reveal the different structures proteins can adopt and to understand how they respond to chemical\, genetic\, and physical chang es. This work bridges structural biology\, biophysics\, protein engineerin g\, and drug discovery\, with implications across a range of therapeutic a reas. Dr. Fraser’s contributions have been recognized with numerous awar ds and honors\, including the Carl Brändén Award from the Protein Societ y (2025)\, the inaugural W.H. & W.L. Bragg Prize from the International Un ion of Crystallography (2020)\, and an NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (2011). He was also named to Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” list of rising stars in science and innovation (2011).\n\nAs a leader and active practitioner of open science\, Dr. Fraser has worked to advance mor e open\, transparent\, and collaborative approaches to conducting and comm unicating research. His lab puts these principles into practice by openly sharing research outputs\, including preprints\, protocols\, data\, and co de. For 7 years\, Dr. Fraser served on the board of ASAPbio\, a nonprofit working to promote innovation and transparency in life science communicati on. He is also a proponent for open peer review\, including collaborativel y reviewing preprints with his trainees and sharing those reviews publicly through PREreview. His commitment to open science extends to how research and researchers are evaluated\, including advocating for hiring and promo tion practices aligned with the principles of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).\n\nEvent logistics\nThis event may be photographed or r ecorded.\nAdvance registration is recommended as space is limited (Registe r Now!)

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions.

Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years.

This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems.

Sherk expanded this approach as the founding director from 1974 to 1980 of Crossroads Community (the farm)\, also known simply a s The Farm\, an experimental community art and ecology center. Active unti l 1987\, The Farm reconnected parcels of land fragmented by freeway constr uction\, conceptualized new uses for overlooked urban landscapes\, and lai d the foundation for a global movement to reclaim urban spaces.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists\, as wel l as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly t ransferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs\, collages\, w orks on paper\, artist books\, printed matter\, and ephemera documenting S herk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s a nd 1980s.\n\nThe AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year i nitiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027)\, which cele brates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97)\, the first internati onal magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming\, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feat ure in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of t he exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied dis ciplinary interests.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organ ized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions.

United States\, 1945–2021). Known for her temporary public installations and performances\, Sherk developed her ini tial landscape architectural intervention Portable Parks I–III (1970\, w ith Howard Levine) by temporarily transforming San Francisco urban “dead spaces” into lush\, living environments complete with sod\, palm trees\ , and live animals. Sherk expanded this approach as the founding director from 1974 to 1980 of Crossroads Community (the farm)\, also known simply a s The Farm\, an experimental community art and ecology center. Active unti l 1987\, The Farm reconnected parcels of land fragmented by freeway constr uction\, conceptualized new uses for overlooked urban landscapes\, and lai d the foundation for a global movement to reclaim urban spaces.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists\, as wel l as within the artist-run space movement of the era.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the genero us support of the AD&A Museum Council.

The barren physical theater spa ce is very important to the Naked Shakes concept\; it takes on the identit y of whatever locale or particular piece of poetic language is described\, and yet always reminds the audience they are in a theater. When Prospero in The Tempest describes “the great Globe itself\,” he is not only re ferring to the entire Earth\, but also the “Globe” Theater – Shakesp eare’s theater. That duality is what Naked Shakes is all about. \n\nThe critically acclaimed\, award-winning Naked Shakes has performed at UCSB a nd transported productions to Southwest Shakespeare Company at Taliesin We st in Scottsdale\, AZ\, the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles\, Westmont College and Center Stage in downtown Santa Barbara. Past Naked Shakes pro ductions include: the premiere of The Death of Kings\, a two-part adaptat ion of Shakespeare’s history plays\, Hamlet\, King Lear\, Much Ado about Nothing\, A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, Macbeth\, The Winter’s Tale\, T welfth Night\, Romeo and Juliet\, Measure for Measure\, The Merchant of Ve nice\, and The Tempest.

United States\, 1945–2021). Known for her temporary public installations and performances\, Sherk developed her ini tial landscape architectural intervention Portable Parks I–III (1970\, w ith Howard Levine) by temporarily transforming San Francisco urban “dead spaces” into lush\, living environments complete with sod\, palm trees\ , and live animals. Sherk expanded this approach as the founding director from 1974 to 1980 of Crossroads Community (the farm)\, also known simply a s The Farm\, an experimental community art and ecology center. Active unti l 1987\, The Farm reconnected parcels of land fragmented by freeway constr uction\, conceptualized new uses for overlooked urban landscapes\, and lai d the foundation for a global movement to reclaim urban spaces.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists\, as wel l as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly t ransferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs\, collages\, w orks on paper\, artist books\, printed matter\, and ephemera documenting S herk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s a nd 1980s.\n\nThe AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year i nitiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027)\, which cele brates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97)\, the first internati onal magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming\, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feat ure in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of t he exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied dis ciplinary interests.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organ ized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art\, Design & Architecture Mus eum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Dir ector and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Ar ts\, the FMCAC Board of Directors\, and individual contributions to the Fo rt Mason Fund.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions.

Since 2006\ , the mission of Naked Shakes has been to present energetic\, exciting\, r aw\, vibrant Shakespeare using the power of the actors and the language. D on't miss this unforgettable performance that will transport you to the wo rld of Verona!\n\n \n\n \n\nAbout UC Santa Barbara's Naked Shakes:\n\nNake d Shakes believes in the transformation of the actor and the space\, along with the imaginative ability of the audience. Each play is presented cle arly and directly so that the audience inhabits the imaginative world of t he play through Shakespeare’s language. The barren physical theater spa ce is very important to the Naked Shakes concept\; it takes on the identit y of whatever locale or particular piece of poetic language is described\, and yet always reminds the audience they are in a theater. When Prospero in The Tempest describes “the great Globe itself\,” he is not only re ferring to the entire Earth\, but also the “Globe” Theater – Shakesp eare’s theater.

United States\, 1945–2021). Known for her temporary public installations and performances\, Sherk developed her ini tial landscape architectural intervention Portable Parks I–III (1970\, w ith Howard Levine) by temporarily transforming San Francisco urban “dead spaces” into lush\, living environments complete with sod\, palm trees\ , and live animals. Sherk expanded this approach as the founding director from 1974 to 1980 of Crossroads Community (the farm)\, also known simply a s The Farm\, an experimental community art and ecology center. Active unti l 1987\, The Farm reconnected parcels of land fragmented by freeway constr uction\, conceptualized new uses for overlooked urban landscapes\, and lai d the foundation for a global movement to reclaim urban spaces.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists\, as wel l as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly t ransferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs\, collages\, w orks on paper\, artist books\, printed matter\, and ephemera documenting S herk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s a nd 1980s.\n\nThe AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year i nitiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027)\, which cele brates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97)\, the first internati onal magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming\, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feat ure in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of t he exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied dis ciplinary interests.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organ ized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems. In this light\, the AD&A Museum shares this history f or collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.\n\nAmézquita is 2 026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for B iodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency\, Amézquita will conduct field work on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems\, plant pollination\, and soil remediation. Amézquita ’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibi tion presentation at the AD&A Museum.\n\nJackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art\, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Cu rator of Exhibitions.

Since 2006\ , the mission of Naked Shakes has been to present energetic\, exciting\, r aw\, vibrant Shakespeare using the power of the actors and the language. D on't miss this unforgettable performance that will transport you to the wo rld of Verona!\n\n \n\n \n\nAbout UC Santa Barbara's Naked Shakes:\n\nNake d Shakes believes in the transformation of the actor and the space\, along with the imaginative ability of the audience. Each play is presented cle arly and directly so that the audience inhabits the imaginative world of t he play through Shakespeare’s language. The barren physical theater spa ce is very important to the Naked Shakes concept\; it takes on the identit y of whatever locale or particular piece of poetic language is described\, and yet always reminds the audience they are in a theater. When Prospero in The Tempest describes “the great Globe itself\,” he is not only re ferring to the entire Earth\, but also the “Globe” Theater – Shakesp eare’s theater. That duality is what Naked Shakes is all about. \n\nThe critically acclaimed\, award-winning Naked Shakes has performed at UCSB a nd transported productions to Southwest Shakespeare Company at Taliesin We st in Scottsdale\, AZ\, the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles\, Westmont College and Center Stage in downtown Santa Barbara.
