SUMMARY:VMCC Series: Yiman Wang
DESCRIPTION:In a lecture delivered by UC Santa Cruz Professor Yiman Wang\, this talk delves into Mao-era moving image culture that featured experimentation with public health\, horticulture\, and animal husbandry to unpack what cinematic experiments were developed\, how scientific experiments were conducted\, and in what ways they were intended to intertwine with the nation-wide experiment with rebuilding the new socialist human’s psyche and a new socio-political world. The talk also explores why such conjoined experiments often fell apart\, what one might gain by recentering the unruly human and more-than-human “raw material” that were experimented on\, and ultimately\, how the environmental turn in media studies could benefit from a study of socialist trifold cinematic-scientific-socio-political experimentations.\n—\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nYiman Wang (Ph.D.\, Graduate Program in Literature\, Duke University) is Professor and Chair of Film & Digital Media at University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is author of Remaking Chinese Cinema: Through the Prism of Shanghai\, Hong Kong and Hollywood (University of Hawaii Press 2013)\, and To Be an Actress: Labor and Performance in Anna May Wong’s Cross-Media World (University of California Press 2024). She has published numerous articles in journals and edited volumes on topics of socialist environmental media\, feminist media histories\, ethnic border-crossing stardom\, eco-cinema\, Chinese cinema\, independent documentary\, film remakes and adaptations. She is editor of a special issue of Feminist Media Histories on Asian Feminist Media (2019)\, co-editor of an InFocus Dossier on Queering Asian Media in Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (2023)\, co-editor of Chinese Animation: Multiplicities in Motion (2025)\, associate editor of Journal of Chinese Cinemas\, and co-editor of the Global East Asian Screen Cultures book series published by Bloomsbury.\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to the public\n– Located in Porter College Rm.

SUMMARY:Like Water: A Participatory Walk from the Edge of the City to the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson\, Bruce Lee\, and the Hong Kong protestors\, join artist A. Laurie Palmer\, in collaboration with Cid Pearlman and Ilia Dolgov to practice moving together as a body of water\, walking west from the Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, along Delaware Ave.\, to the ocean. On the way\, participants will imagine and explore how this particular stretch of land has been inhabited\, stewarded\, enclosed\, owned\, and used—and how these histories shape contemporary borders between public and private space. From thousands of years of stewardship by the Awaswas-speaking Uypi people\, through seizure by missionaries for pasturage\, division into private ranchos for Spanish settlers and then parceled into lots for European/American settlers\, to more recent developments including the creation of natural reserves\, the land carries the effects of these experiences and relationships into the present. \nHow might a collective experiment in moving “like water” help one discover surprising ways to relate with a place\, a social and environmental context\, and a particular historical moment? \nThis event is presented as part of as part of the Intersections of Climate Change series\, and is organized with the Friedlaender Lab\, in conjunction with the Weather and the Whale exhibition\, at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences.\n \n—\nEVENT AGENDA\npart 1. 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm\nPanetta Street to Natural Bridges St \npart 2. 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm\nNatural Bridges to the Homeless Garden Project \npart 3. 3:30 pm – 4:00 pm\nHomeless Garden Project to Younger Lagoon\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nIntersections of Climate Change series:\n– Thu.\, Jan. 29\, 6:00 p.m.: Pesticide Impacts in and around Monterey Bay\n– Thu.\, Feb. 5\, 6:00 p.m.: Climate Justice and the Moss Landing Battery Fire\n– Wed.\, Feb. 11\, 6:00 p.m.: The California Firefighter Cancer Research Study with Shehnaz Hussain and Fire Captain Jamie Gabriel\n– Thu.\, Feb. 26\, 6:00 p.m.: The Whale Liberation Front—An electroacoustic performance and artist talk\n– Wed.\, March 4\, 6:00 p.m.: Unexpected Returns: The Historic Entanglements of Fire\, Settlement\, and Stewardship in the Santa Cruz Mountains\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to the public\n– Attend in person at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Natural Bridges Drive.\n– This walk will be fully accessible up until the overlook of the Lagoon\, at which point a technically accessible\, but possibly slippery\, trail (depending on the weather) meanders down hill. Participants are welcome to stay at the overlook\, or go down to the water’s level in the company of a guide.\n—\nPARKING\n– The entrance to the Institute of the Arts and Sciences is on Delaware St. and has an accessibility ramp.\n– Free self-parking is available on Panetta Ave. and High Rd.\, immediately adjacent to the building.\n– Accessible parking is on High Rd.\n—\nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law.
