SUMMARY:Boston Court Pasadena: WANDER/WONDER Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:Wander/Wonder features the work of two Los Angeles-based artists: Jeanne Dunn and Sonja Schenk. Both artists depict natural elements in their works that speak volumes about the wondrous and terrifying interconnectedness of humanity and our environment. \nIn paintings by Jeanne Dunn\, the subject is monumental\, awe-inspiring trees and forests. Both large-scale paintings are from her Tangle Tree Painting series\, in which the artist writes “I use a paintbrush like a dowser uses a divining rod.” Using a lustrous color palette\, her works create portals through which we can experience our natural environment e. Dunn’s trees feel like unique individuals who form connections with one another similar to human relationships. These connections are rendered in the way each trunk or branch bends towards one another and in the reaching out of their roots. \nAlthough the work of Sonja Schenk similarly represents the artist’s intense engagement with the environment around her\, these particular bodies of work investigate man-made structures unique to Los Angeles. Schenk’s inspiration for the suspended sculpture titled The End was imagining what kind of ruins would remain in the West once humanity is no longer on Earth. The paintings on view from the New Mountain series are at once serenely beautiful and unnerving–– the saturated hues of the skies hinting at the intense smog in the Southern California air. \nIn presenting the works of Jeanne Dunn and Sonja Schenk\, Wander/Wonder inspires a deeper connection with the world around us\, acknowledges the journey we’re all on together\, and reminds us to be gentle with one another and with the Earth.

SUMMARY:Fuller Theological Seminary: Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Fuller Seminary invites you to a special screening of Juneteenth\, grab a friend and join them this February 15th to watch and learn about the history and significance of Juneteenth. \nJuneteenth was declared a federal holiday in the United States in 2021. While it has already been celebrated by many\, its cultural and spiritual significance is widely unknown. Our Daily Bread Ministries VOICES team has launched a campaign to help churches\, civic organizations\, and individuals learn and celebrate the holiday! VOICES has produced a documentary\, devotionals (print and digital options available)\, podcasts\, and an album to equip you with all you need to appreciate Juneteenth\, revealing how it’s a celebration of freedom and faith amid struggle. \nJuneteenth Day reflects dynamic truths about faith and freedom\, particularly relevant to the African American experience. The holiday was first celebrated in churches\, revealing a deep connection between faith and freedom. The Scriptures teach of Jubilee (Leviticus 25)\, the time prescribed for justice and freedom to be restored throughout Israel. Jesus\, in his inaugural sermon\, announced that his kingdom would consummate God’s kingdom of righteousness and justice\, through the church and throughout the world. When people are freed from injustice\, Earth becomes a little more like Heaven. \nThese resources offer an opportunity to tell the story of Juneteenth for those seeking to understand the holiday and find inspiration in its significance. Juneteenth is a story that highlights how hope has endured from 1865 to the present. In doing so\, it offers an important story for the discouraged and the hopeful\, Black and White\, skeptics and saints.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Artists Talks@PAM: Ken Lum and Jennifer Ling-Datchuk
DESCRIPTION:USC PAM presents exhibited artists Ken Lum and Jennifer Ling Datchuk from Another Beautiful Country as they discuss their work in an intimate gallery conversation. Drawing from the Chinese translation of America\, (美國/měiguó) and the American-born Chinese abbreviation\, ABC\, Another Beautiful Country\, features artworks that portray nuanced interplays between Chinese American identities and representations\, challenging conventional notions of nationhood. Resisting stereotypes and globalization’s dehumanizing aspects\, Another Beautiful Country brings together artworks as scenes of cross-cultural sharing. \nFree with cost of admission \nRSVP recommended \nMore about the Artists: \nJennifer Ling Datchuk /玲 \nJennifer Ling Datchuk was born in Warren\, Ohio and raised in Brooklyn\, New York. Her work is an exploration of her layered identity – as a woman\, a Chinese woman\, as an “American\,”and as a third culture kid. Trained in ceramics\, Datchuk works with porcelain and other materials often associated with traditional women’s work\, such as textiles and hair\, to discuss fragility\, beauty\, femininity\, intersectionality\, identity\, and personal history. Through these materials\, she explores how Western beauty standards influenced the East\, how the non-white body is commodified and sold\, and how women’s – globally\, girls’ – work is still a major economic driver whose workers still struggle for equality. Datchuk holds an MFA in Artisanry from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a BFA in Crafts from Kent State University. In 2017\, she received the Emerging Voices award from the American Craft Council\, and in 2020 was named a United States Artist Fellow in Craft. Her work is in the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, San Antonio Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She is an Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Arizona State University and lives and maintains a studio practice in Phoenix\, Arizona. \nKen Lum / 林蔭庭 \nKen Lum is an artist with an international exhibition record that includes Documenta\, the Venice Biennale\, Sao Paolo Bienal\, Shanghai Biennale\, Gwangju Biennale\, Carnegie Triennial and the Whitney Biennial. He is co-founder and founding editor of the Yishu Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art. He is a prolific writer and has given 6 keynote addresses including the 2022 congress of the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics in Philadelphia. A book of his writings titled Everything is Relevant: Writings on Art and Life 1991 – 2018 was published in 2020 by Concordia University Press. In 2020\, he wrote a screenplay titled The Cook about Chinese contract laborers in the 19th century. In 2021\, he penned a second screenplay about the forced expulsion of Chinese from Tacoma\, Washington Territory in 1885. Lum has realized numerous permanent public art commissions\, including co-curating Shanghai Modern: 1919 – 1945. A long-time professor\, Lum is currently the Marilyn Jordan Taylor Presidential Professor and Chair of the Department of Fine Arts\, Stuart Weitzman School of Design\, University of Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 13\, 2024 | 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM\nLecture & Reception Tickets: $30 Members / $35 Nonmembers\nVirtual Lecture (Zoom) Tickets: $15 Members / $20 Nonmembers / (Students are free) \nPasadena Heritage presents Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture and Reception with feature speaker\, Ted Ellison\, who will delight guests with his illustrated talk\, From Hand to Hearth: Glass Mosaic from the Prairie School. \nFine craftsman and designer Ted Ellison brings a historical perspective to the introduction of mosaics to the buildings of progressive American architects around the turn of the twentieth century. The Chicago firm Giannini & Hilgart is among those whose works of art stand among the highest achievements of this ancient art form\, yet they remain nearly forgotten in homes across the country. In collaboration with the celebrated architects of their day\, Giannini & Hilgart approached the language of mosaic with fresh experiments in material and decorative design\, exemplified by their installations at the historic Blinn House (the headquarters of Pasadena Heritage). In light of his study of leaded glass and mosaic fireplaces nationwide\, Ted will also share his observations on the decorative furnishings of this Pasadena landmark. This lecture is a rare chance to view exquisitely photographed interiors and newly discovered installations from around the country. \nYou are invited to join us in person or virtually for this special program! The lecture will be livestreamed via Zoom and a recording will be made available to ticket holders shortly after the event. Free admission to the Zoom lecture will be made available to students upon request. Current students may email Kristen Norton at knorton@pasadenaheritage.org to receive the Zoom connection info. \nFor those joining us in person\, we will host a cocktail reception following the lecture to toast the late Dr. Robert Winter. Martinis (Dr. Winter’s cocktail of choice) and light hors d’oeuvres will be served from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER \nTed Ellison\, founder of Theodore Ellison Designs\, studied art and apprenticed in a glass studio before starting his leaded glass and mosaic company in 1998. Honoring the artistic integrity of the Arts & Crafts tradition he’s created original glass\, mosaic and lighting designs for homes all over the country. His work is based on the firm belief that thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted artworks enhance the lives of those who encounter them. His work has appeared in Fine Homebuilding\, Style 1900 and Old House Journal. He’s written on the history of glass for American Bungalow and presented on the history of American mosaic at the National Arts & Crafts Conference in Asheville\, Historic Seattle\, The Gamble House\, and Chicago’s Driehaus Museum. \nDR. ROBERT WINTER \nDr. Robert Winter was a gift to us and to the cause of historic preservation nationwide – his teaching\, writing\, critical eye and witty commentary still influence what we do and how we look at historic places. He led the way in creating Pasadena’s preservation ordinance and commission and supported us\, educated us and urged us to be a strong voice for the architectural legacy that surrounds us. The first Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture was held during Craftsman Weekend in 2019 after his passing\, and is a lasting tribute to his impact on historic preservation communities both near and far. He would be thrilled to know that Pasadena Heritage now resides in the historic Blinn House designed by Chicago architect George Washington Maher. Celebrate with us as we learn about the stunning mosaic fireplace in the Dr. Robert Winter Lounge of the Blinn House (shown above). \nDonations in support of the program are very welcome. All those who donate to the Dr. Robert Winter lecture will receive a link to view the recording of this year’s Dr. Robert Winter Memorial Lecture.

More panelists to be announced. \nABOUT OUR PANELISTS:\n*Brandi Sellerz-Jackson is a storyteller\, birth and postpartum doula\, and the creator of Not So Private Parts. Initially created as a women’s lifestyle blog\, Not So Private Parts has evolved into a resource removing the shame and stigma surrounding women’s issues.

She has appeared as an expert on Good Morning America and Today and in Allure\, Self\, Glamour\, and Well + Good\, among many other outlets\, and has offered wellness talks to corporations such as Google\, Capital One\, and Meta. She is originally from the Dominican Republic and currently lives in New Jersey. Break the Cycle is her first book. \n*Born and raised in foggy Northern California and now residing in Los Angeles CA with her spouse John\, Arielle Estoria (R-E-L EH-STORY-UH) (she/her) is a Published and commissioned Poet\, Author and Actor and Model.

For some\, it might be more fun\, more peace\, more exploration—but what does it take to get to the other side of living in survival mode? In On Thriving\, Brandi Sellerz-Jackson helps us wade through what she calls the four great labors of our lives—labors that she’s had to overcome and that she has led many clients through.\nDrawing from her experiences as a doula and intimate storytelling from her own life\, Sellerz-Jackson guides us through the many phases of these great labors—labors that we can get stuck in\, stunting our ability to thrive. Across age\, gender\, economic status\, or background\, we all move through the great labor of our relationships\, our mental health\, grief and loss\, and the feeling of being othered. Sellerz-Jackson doesn’t shy away from the pitfalls of these labors but rather challenges us to actively remain present within them and ask ourselves: What do I need to thrive in the space I’m currently in? In On Thriving\,you’ll come to recognize the survival tools you’ve picked up along the way and exchange them for thriving tools and “rich-uals.” You’ll commit to no longer making a home out of chaos and rediscovering sanctuary within yourself.\nComparing our thriving to that of plant life\, Sellerz-Jackson simplifies the complicated—and oftentimes overwhelming—journey as we attempt to grow in an inhospitable environment. With insightful and vulnerable storytelling\, she invites a deep\, soul-stirring investigation of our past and present to gather all that we need to thrive right where we are\, right now. \nBREAK THE CYCLE by Dr. Mariel Buqué\nThe definitive\, paradigm shifting guide to healing intergenerational trauma—weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and stories from the therapy room—from Dr. Mariel Buqué\, Ph.D\, a Columbia University-trained\, trauma-informed\, psychologist\, professor\, and practitioner of holistic healing.\nWhen a physical wound is left unhealed\, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed\, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives\, hurting our family\, friends\, coworkers\, and others. Eventually\, this hurt can injure an entire community\, metastasizing across years and generations. This is intergenerational trauma. This trauma is why some of us become estranged from our families\, why some of us are people pleasers\, and why some of us find ourselves in co-dependent relationships. This trauma can be rooted in the experiences of ancestors\, who may have suffered due to their race or identity\, and it can be collective\, the result of a shared experience like systemic oppression\, harmful engrained behaviors in a culture like the acceptance of physical discipline of children\, or even a natural disaster like a pandemic. These wounds are complex\, impacting our minds\, bodies\, and spirits. Healing requires a holistic approach that has so far been absent from the field of psychology. Until now.\nFrom Dr. Mariel Buqué\, a leading trauma psychologist\, comes a groundbreaking guide to transforming intergenerational pain into intergenerational abundance. With BREAK THE CYCLE\, she delivers the definitive guide to healing inherited trauma. Weaving together scientific research with practical exercises and stories from the therapy room\, Dr. Buqué teaches readers how trauma is transmitted from one generation to the next and how they can break the cycle through tangible therapeutic practices\, learning to pass down strength instead of pain to future generations. \nTHE UNFOLDING by Arielle Estoria\n“A moving\, fresh\, unique poetry collection and a generous invitation into the mind of the poet. Both a galvanizing wake-up call and a tender lullaby.” — Glennon Doyle\, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Untamed\n“What I love about Arielle’s writing is that she takes readers on this journey step by step\, filled with wisdom and grace. This book will help anyone seeking to unfold into their bloom.” — Morgan Harper Nichols\, author of All Along You Were Blooming and Peace is a Practice\nIn this beautiful collection of poems\, essays\, and meditations\, Arielle Estoria tenderly reveals the places in her life where she has been broken open and mended back together in new ways. In doing so\, she shows each of us how when we walk through our own process of “unfolding\,” though it may be uncomfortable at times\, there is light on the other side. Let these words guide your soul\, and return home to the person you were always meant to be. \nThis ticketed event will take place at All Saints Church located at 132 N Euclid Ave\, Pasadena. \nBooks that come with the ticket will be handed out at check-in and will be pre-signed so a book signing will NOT follow the conversation. Additional copies of all titles\, will be available for purchase at the event.
