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. Why Our Capacity for Uncertainty Shapes the Systems We Create\n6:00pm: Community Soundscape with Beati Quorum and Sarah Cruse\n6:30pm: Gina Athena Ulysse\, Ronaldo V. Wilson & Libia Posada\, artist performances and remarks\n7:30: Juan Ospina & Olemano live performance\n8:30: Alex Olwal & AL-EK live performance + participatory dance with Brigitte Wittmer \nCONFERENCE ROOM (Room 1)\n6pm: Kyle Robertson\, Contesting the Rule of Law\n7pm: Adela Najarro\, From Body to Word: Finding Enlightenment Through Poetry\n8pm: Iris Oved\, Mind the Gap: Masks\, Goggles\, and the Search for Authenticity \nWEST ROOM (Room 2)\n6pm: Jean-Paul Gazzaneo-Duarte\, Identity Under Oppression: Lessons from Latin American Philosophy \n7pm: Sam Kahn\, Moving Beyond the Standard Story of the ‘Attention Crisis’\n8pm: Ethics Slam! Workshop for collective debate \nONGOING\nPhilo-booth: “Ask a philosopher a question!”

SUMMARY:Arts & Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance
DESCRIPTION:On Earth Day\, UC Santa Cruz launches the inaugural Arts & Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance\, a campus-wide gathering that refuses to treat climate change as a problem of carbon alone. Instead\, it brings together artists\, scientists\, students\, and community partners to engage the deeper conditions of the crisis\, and to open space for cultural\, political\, and imaginative transformations grounded in repair\, reciprocity\, and collective futures. \nTaking place at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\, the festival unfolds as a full day of exhibitions\, film screenings\, performances\, workshops\, talks\, and public engagement. Developed through an open call that drew an overwhelming response across disciplines\, the program reflects a growing field of practitioners working across environmental research\, land-based knowledge\, climate resistance\, and practices of repair that move beyond dominant institutional and economic frameworks. Tacos Los Reyes food truck will be on site during the festival. \nThe UC Santa Cruz Arts & Ecology Festival is sponsored by UCSC Art Department\, OpenLab Collaborative Research Center\, and UC Climate Action Arts Network\, with support from the University of California\, Office of the President’s Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives grant program.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to the public\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nEarth Day Festival\nWed.\, April 22\, 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.\nvarious locations throughout the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\nEarth Week Film Screenings\nMon..

Share your ideas for what UCSC could become by 2050\, hear from fellow students\, faculty\, staff\, and alumni\, and help shape a collective vision for our university’s next quarter century. \nThis interactive event is part of the What Could UCSC Be By 2050? project\, a community listening initiative using facilitated dialogue\, the open-source Pol.is platform\, and AI-assisted synthesis to surface shared priorities and meaningful differences across our campus community. \nFree dinner from India Joze is included with registration. Open to all UCSC students\, faculty\, staff\, and alumni. \nWhat to Expect \nThis is a participatory event — not a lecture. You’ll have the chance to submit your own ideas about UCSC’s future\, vote on proposals from other community members\, and join facilitated conversations about the themes that emerge. Whether you care about sustainability\, housing\, curriculum\, campus culture\, research\, or something else entirely\, your perspective matters. \nAll responses in the Pol.is conversation are anonymous. No one can see who submitted\, agreed with\, or disagreed with any idea. The more people participate\, the clearer the picture becomes. \nCampus Units & Student Organizations \nInterested in tabling at the event? We’re inviting UCSC campus units and student organizations to set up a table and connect with attendees.
