In this discussion, scholars from the National Museum of the American Indian, Asian Pacific American Center and Smithsonian American Art Museum explore how artists integrate the ancient world within their contemporary artistic practice.

In conjunction with the Annual Juried Show, Mazmanian Gallery is pleased to present an artist talk by guest juror, Edwin González-Ojeda. In his practice González-Ojeda joins seemingly unrelated aspects to explore the narrative that emerges at their intersection. His use of embroidery associates the conceptual junction of the masculine with the feminine in order to create a dialogue on gender norms and contemplate notions of masculinity. He reappropriates derogatory terms used to refer to marginalized people and places them in a context that toys with their meaning.

The End of the Future: Rethinking Climate Change in the Classroom and Beyond

The future, as conceptualized by the dominant paradigm of modern industrial civilization no longer exists, thanks to the complex of crises that confront us today: climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing social inequality, to name only three. In this talk, Dr. Vandana Singh describes her journey towards a transdisciplinary, justice-centered conceptualization of climate change that began with a trip to the Alaskan Arctic in 2014. She developed this approach in an unconventional general physics undergraduate class for non-science students inspired by transformational learning theory and embodied learning. Her quest to understand climate change, while rooted in the sciences, has taken her beyond its boundaries to include social-environmental concerns centered on justice. In this presentation she describes the motivation and development of this transdisciplinary approach, and how the integration of key scientific ideas with wider considerations allows us to harness the imagination toward alternative visions of diverse sustainable futures. She discusses how such an approach might contribute to the generation of multiple context-specific, justice-centered and science-informed approaches to climate education, communication and action.

The stars, aside from daily and annual motions, do not appear to change much on the scale of a human lifetime. But in fact, they are born, live, and die on timescales far vaster than we can experience. This month, look up and see stars at every stage including Betelgeuse, one of the most intriguing of the stars in the spring sky. This is a star with a diameter over 750 times that of the Sun; if it were placed in the Sun's position in our Solar System, its surface would extend out past the orbit of Jupiter. Yet, mighty Betelgeuse will have much shorter lifetime than the Sun. And, towards the end of its life, things will get truly bizarre.

This event raises awareness about the tragedies that took place in Artsakh and Azerbaijan. In September 2020, Azerbaijan broke its ceasefire with Armenia over the disputed territory, Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh's. In this event, the panelists will discuss the geopolitical issues in the caucus regions, PR and social media influences, the Armenian diaspora experiences (current trauma), and human rights issues. They will address the following questions: Why is this happening now? How are the diaspora communities coping with this tragedy? And where do we go from here?

The Panelists:
• Rich Elmoyan, Geopolitical analyst, San Francisco State University.
• Fred Tatlayn, B.S. in Biopsychology from University of California, Davis.
• Natalie Kazarian, M.A. in Clinical Psychology, Pepperdine University.
• Dr. Henry Theriault, Professor and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Worcester State University
