SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition Screening Series: Beyond Access
DESCRIPTION:On view in the IAS Screening Room is a selection of short films curated by Visualizing Abolition Visiting Faculty Fellow Dr. Pooja Rangan. \nPrisons deny and censor the access of those trapped inside them—to information\, to intimacy\, to community\, to meaningful work\, to nourishment of all kinds\, and perhaps most cruelly\, to care. This program assembles a series of films\, including works by filmmakers incarcerated in California as well as others without that lived experience. Together\, these works confront the debilitating impacts of these restrictions and reveal how the disabling logic of the prison is extended to other institutional spaces (the hospital\, the university)\, turning access into a scarce commodity by enclosing what should be held in common. Questioning the carceral and state-sponsored productions of disability and accessibility\, the short films together reveal the courage of people working despite limitations to produce collective access for one another\, described simply and beautifully by disability justice activist Leah-Lakshmi Piepzna Samarasinha as “revolutionary love without charity.” \nThanh Tran\nDying in Prison\, 2022\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nCarolyn Lazard\nPre-Existing Condition\, 2019\nHD video (color\, sound)\, 6 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist and Trautwein Herleth3 \nAnthony Alejandrez\nAnother Rainy Day\, 2023\nPhone video (color\, sound)\, 3 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nJordan Lord\nAfter…After… (Access)\, 2018\nHD Video (color\, sound)\, 16 minutes\nCourtesy of the artist \nRahsaan “New York” Thomas\nFriendly Signs\, 2023\nVideo (color\, sound) 21 minutes\nCourtesy of Tommy Wickerd\, Empowerment Ave & System Impact Media

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:Unexpected Returns: The Historic Entanglements of Fire\, Settlement\, and Stewardship in the Santa Cruz Mountains
DESCRIPTION:March 4th\, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Miriam Greenberg and Andrew Matthews will present the findings of UCSC researchers who have spent three years studying the ecological\, social\, and political economic processes that have set the stage for contemporary wildfires\, in what has become known as the “Wildland Urban Interface” (WUI). Come and learn about the deeper histories of indigenous burning\, settler ranching\, fire suppression\, extractive industries and urbanization that have produced fire prone landscapes in the Santa Cruz Mountains. \nThis event is presented as part of An Aesthetics of Resilience\, a collaborative research initiative of the Institute of the Arts and Sciences and the Friedlaender Lab at UC Santa Cruz. The project brings scientists\, artists\, humanists\, and activists together to examine multiple experiences of vulnerability in the face of climate change and is supported by a University of California Office of the President California Climate Action Seed Grant\, with additional support from the Coha Nowark Art + Science Fund.

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.
