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. Rather than advocating specific outcomes\, the conference positions education as a democratic practice and the Right Livelihood College as a steward of dialogue\, student voice\, and long-term institutional learning. \nRegistration is free and open to the public. Sign up to receive conference updates\, session links\, and participation opportunities.

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:Rules Are Not Neutral: Play As Sense-Making\, Acts Of Resistance\, And Imagining Otherwise
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together a range of analog games – including board\, card\, role-playing\, and other participatory works – that engage social and political realities in different ways. The works span widely circulated commercial games to independently produced projects\, one-of-a-kind artworks by artists\, faculty\, alumni\, and students\, and materials drawn from UC Santa Cruz Special Collections and Archives. \nIn part\, the exhibition challenges the persistent assumption that games and play are detached from social and political life. On the contrary\, game designers and artists across diverse perspectives and positions have long used play to engage questions of social systems\, lived experience\, and how power operates. This exhibition does not attempt to represent that full spectrum. Instead\, it brings together a particular set of works that foreground how games can make systems visible\, intervene in them\, and imagine alternatives. \nAll games embody values\, whether intentional or not.  \n– Mary Flanagan\, game designer and scholar \nAcross all of these works\, games are not only forms of entertainment\, though they may be that as well. They are encountered in multiple ways: as objects\, as systems\, as artworks\, and as experiences that unfold unpredictably through interaction. In each case\, rules and constraints shape what participants can do. In these different forms\, the works stage systems – such as housing and land ownership\, capitalism\, race and identity\, civil rights and protest\, fascism\, and colonialism – in ways that are simplified and easy to see\, opening space to recognize similar structures beyond the game. In this sense\, the works suggest that rules are not neutral – they organize experience\, distribute power\, and produce meaning. \nGames are the art of agency. \n– C. Thi Nguyen\, philosopher \nThe exhibition is intentionally dense. This abundance reflects the breadth of ways games operate across contexts\, from activism and education to art and everyday life. While it celebrates creativity and difference\, it also asks how these works engage critically with the structures that shape our lives.  \nSome works use rules to model systems\, helping players understand how those systems operate. Others use play to rehearse action\, asking players to practice navigating or challenging those systems. Still others turn toward speculation\, inviting players to imagine alternative futures\, worlds\, and the systems that might shape them.  \nThe imagination is an instrument of change. \n– Ursula K. Le Guin\, author \nThe focus on analog games reflects how they foreground materiality and shared physical presence. Played face-to-face\, handled\, read aloud\, and experienced together\, these works show how rules operate not in abstraction\, but through lived\, embodied experience. \nUltimately\, the exhibition asks us to consider not only how games represent the world\, but how they shape our engagement with it – and how through play\, the social and political systems they model might be understood\, challenged\, and reimagined. \nGames are not apolitical. \n– Kishonna L. Gray\, media scholar \n  \nGallery Reception\nMay 15 from 1 to 4pm at the Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery \n  \nArt Friday\nHands-on art activities drawing from the current exhibition.\nALL ARE WELCOME regardless of skill level. Art supplies and free snacks are provided!

SUMMARY:The Annual Maya K. Peterson Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:“Colonizing Water: Empire\, Commodification\, and Appropriation in Africa”\nMatthew Bender\, Professor of History\, The College of New Jersey\nFriday\, May 8\, 2:30-4:00pm; Alumni Room @ UCSC’s University Center \nIn early 2018\, the city of Cape Town nearly ran out of water. South Africa’s “Mother City\,” renowned for its cosmopolitan population and natural beauty\, faced the prospect of a “Day Zero\,” when it would be forced to close its taps and force millions to queue for water rations. Across much of the continent\, though\, water scarcity is an everyday reality\, with nearly 1 in 3 people lacking access to sufficient drinking water. How did this become the case? This talk explores the history of water on the African continent\, using a historical lens to understand the present-day water crisis. It shows how these resources came to be “colonized” through the mechanisms of imperialism in Africa. European colonial actors in the 19th and 20th centuries attempted to transform the ownership\, management\, and meaning of water with the aim of harnessing its powers to advance their objectives. In doing so\, they created deep seeded inequities and underdevelopment that has persisted in the decades since African colonies gained their independence. This historical analysis shows that many of the present-day obstacles to providing clean\, safe water stem from legacies of colonial rule. Yet it also shows the many ways in which everyday Africans proved resilient\, finding ways to thrive despite the odds. \nMatthew Bender is Professor of History at The College of New Jersey. His research focuses on modern African social and cultural history\, with interest in the environment\, natural resources\, and agriculture. A leading scholar in water history\, he has authored numerous articles\, essays\, and chapters as well as a book entitled Water Brings No Harm: Management Knowledge and the Struggle for the Waters of Kilimanjaro (Ohio University Press\, 2019). \nThis event is made possible by the generous support of the Maya K. Peterson Memorial Endowment.
