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:2026 Right Livelihood International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Right Livelihood International Conference is a five-week global conference exploring how education can strengthen democracy\, collective intelligence\, and just futures. Bringing together Right Livelihood Laureates\, students\, faculty\, and community partners across continents\, the conference combines asynchronous learning with participatory dialogue and collaborative action.

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Visit the IAS\, UCSC’s premier art galleries\, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16\, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right\, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj\, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics\, performance\, and visual art. \nThe IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public. \nLibia Posada: Everything is Going Right\nLibia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations\, sculptures\, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments\, gauze bandages\, crutches\, used books\, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal\, social\, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world\, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.  \nGina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements\nThe internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation\, produced in community from things collected\, found\, purchased and donated\, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj\, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people\, spirits\, and ideas.  \nRonaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\nCollage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video\, painting\, and installation\, layers and folds conceal and reveal\, delving into the experience\, both bodily and emotive\, of living in times of violence.  \n

SUMMARY:Night of Ideas 2026
DESCRIPTION:Enlightenment\, Now! \nJoin us for a nocturnal celebration of art\, philosophy\, and activism! \nEnlightenment\, Now! \nAs the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence\, the 2026 Santa Cruz Night of Ideas invites us not to celebrate the Enlightenment\, but to interrogate it. Long associated with democracy\, progress\, and universal reason\, the Enlightenment’s legacy remains deeply ambivalent – coexisting with enduring forms of exclusion\, colonial violence\, and economic exploitation. These unresolved tensions\, strikingly visible today\, demand renewed scrutiny. \nRather than treating the Enlightenment as a closed chapter or shared inheritance\, this edition centers young local voices and civil society to ask urgent questions: whose reason matters\, whose freedoms are secured\, and whose futures are denied? \nThrough conversations\, workshops\, performances\, and visionary talks\, Enlightenment\, Now! becomes a space for lived experience and collective experimentation. Featuring contributions from local performers Crista Berryessa and Beati Quorum\, Alex Olwal’s audiovisual collaborations with AL-EK\, and Juan Ospina\, flautist and composer with Olemano\, our event will also bring together Thomas Sage Pedersen\, Ronaldo V. Wilson\, Gina Athena Ulysse\, and many other guests. The aim is not consensus\, but momentum: rethinking progress and imagining new political\, ethical\, and cultural possibilities under radically changed conditions. \nJoin us on Friday\, April 17 at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences to explore what remains of the Enlightenment\, and what it might become! \nThis event is brought to you by the Center for Public Philosophy\, with support from the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, The Humanities Institute\, the Marc Sanders Foundation\, Villa Albertine\, and the Institut Français. \nLearn more and sign up for updates at nightofideas.org. \nNight of Ideas 2026 Schedule:\nMAIN HALL\n5:00pm: Crista Berryessa and Beati Quorum + introductory remarks by Jeanne Proust\n5:30pm: Thomas Sage Pedersen\, Staying with Discomfort.
