SUMMARY:M.F.A. Exhibition for Environmental Art & Social Practice (EASP)—"Picking up Shells Amid a Tsunami"
DESCRIPTION:The culminating exhibition of the Environmental Art and Social Practice (EASP) M.F.A. program at UC Santa Cruz presents new projects—Picking up Shells Amid a Tsunami 쓰나미가 밀려오는데\, 조개나 줍고 있네—developed through concentrated inquiry over a two-year period and offers a window into the artists’ unique long-term research projects that expand beyond the gallery space.\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Ongoing Exhibition: Thurs..\, April 2–Sat.\, May 2\, 2026\n– Opening Celebration: Thurs.\, April 2\, 5:00–7:00 p.m.\n– Artist Roundtable: Thurs.\, April 23\, 5:00–6:00 p.m.\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to the public\n– Gallery hours are Tues.–Sun.noon–5:00 p.m (closed Mondays)\n—\nPARKING\n– Lot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event.\n– Parking is by permit or ParkMobile.\n– Refer to TAPS for more parking information.\n—\nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nNotes from the EASP cohort: \n“The phrase evokes a scene in which\, amid an approaching catastrophe\, someone appears to be idly picking up seashells. In South Korea\, it gained political currency during the 2017 presidential impeachment protests\, when feminist\, disability rights\, and animal rights groups were criticized for bringing their demands into the demonstrations. Their interventions were dismissed as distractions—acts of “picking up shells” at a moment when the sole priority was said to be the president’s removal. \n“We choose to pick up shells nonetheless. Not because the crisis is small\, but because the shells matter. They are the body of the future\, what accumulates slowly\, what endures. One day\, shells become mountains\, and mountains become home. To pick up shells is not to turn away from urgency\, but to insist on a future beyond it. \n“This exhibition comes together through an insistence on the opposite premise: that picking up shells while disaster is at our doorstep is not a distraction\, but a necessity. What gets dismissed as marginal\, secondary\, a mere luxury\, or mistimed\, is precisely where social and political life becomes livable and where dreams\, desire and the imagination open lines of flight towards other worlds. \n“Waves can level buildings once on the shore\, dragging and revealing the damage as they recede. Rather than turning away from the storm\, we acknowledge the multilayered and epistemic devastation caused by centuries of colonial\, patriarchal\, racist violence upon people\, earth and more than human life. We witness the ongoing bifurcation of human and nature that is sedimented into our lives\, languages and social\, material\, infrastructures. \n“The act of bending down to gather shells\, ردم\,  fragments\, sounds\, 뼈\, blue bottles\, grotta\, relationships\, bodies\, cries—composes a score that moves towards forms of care through minor gestures\, embodiment\, ritual\, ofrendas\, listening and beholding.  Mundane and everyday poetics do not negate the scale of devastation and loss\, nor do they refuse engagement. Rather\, they bear witness. They reveal pathways towards endurance\, negotiation\, memory and imagination beyond colonial catastrophe. In this sense\, the exhibition reframes the tsunami not as a singular event or metaphor\, but an invitation us to behold\, actively look\, to sit within the textures of tectonic plates and energy flows\, at the conjuncture where plates meet\, in the flow of energy through tempo\, liquid\, movement\, land\, sound\, ecotone. \n“The wave does not demand one unified response. It forms part of a condition\, a form of everyday accretion\, a movement in and out of different temporalities. Picking up shells while the tsunami unfolds\, amid the tsunami\, alongside the water’s ebbs and flows\, calls us to pay attention to overlooked lives\, stories\, bodies\, memories\, flows and relations\, to transform materials so that they become reconstituted and are able to hold new and ongoing narratives that refuse to remain silent.”

SUMMARY:History of Science Lecture with Jennifer Derr
DESCRIPTION:World Wounds: The Damming of the Nile River and the Transformation of Medicine\nThe damming of the Nile River transformed agriculture and human health in 20th-century Egypt. While dams enabled year-round irrigation and provided hydroelectricity\, the prevalence of parasitic disease also skyrocketed. Professor Derr explores the effects of damming the Nile on the health of Egyptians and the impact of large-scale environmental transformation on the knowledge and practice that made medicine during the 20th century. \nRegister to attend in-person or virtual\nIn Person Reception: 5:30 p.m.\nLecture 6 p.m.\nIn-person and virtual\nFree and open to the public\nParking is $6 \n  \nThe 2026 Nauenberg History of Science Lecture is presented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association and co-sponsored by the Center for the Middle East and North Africa\, History Department\, Humanities Division\, Environmental Studies Department\, Science and Justice Research Center\, and The Humanities Institute. \n  \n  \n \nJennifer Derr is an associate professor in the History Department at UC Santa Cruz. Her first book\, The Lived Nile: Environment\, Disease\, and Material Colonial Economy in Egypt\, won the Middle East Political Economy Book Prize. In 2019\, the National Science Foundation awarded Derr a History of Science at the Interface of Biomedical and Environmental Concerns CAREER grant to support her research. In 2024-25\, she was a fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute.
