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. Sellerz-Jackson is the co-founder of Moms in Color\, a Black mom collective centered around celebrating diversity in the motherhood space. She is also the senior manager of social media for Ergobaby\, a leading brand in babywearing and attachment parenting. She has been featured in USA Today\, Essence\, and MOTHER\, among other outlets.

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. Her motto\, “Words not for the ears but for the soul” stems from her dedication to remind anyone who encounters her work that words are meant to be felt and experienced not just heard. With a specific heart in empowering\, encouraging and making space for audiences of women to feel free and at home in their own bodies.\nArielle is the Co-Author of two self-published collections of poetry: Vagabonds and Zealots (2014)\, and Write Bloody Spill Pretty (2017) which can both be found on Amazon.com and in 2016\, released her EP of poetry and music titled Symphony of a Lioness. In March 2023\, Estoria released her first solo book of poetry titled\, THE UNFOLDING an invitation to come home to yourself\, with Harper One available wherever books\, e-books and audiobooks are available. \nThree ticket options are available:\nAll tickets will include one entry and one book\, depending on the title you choose.\nOptions include Brandi Sellerz-Jackson’s forthcoming title\, On Thriving\, Break The Cycle by Dr. Mariel Buqué and The Unfolding by Arielle Estoria. \nON THRIVING by Brandi Sellerz-Jackson\nA renowned doula shares powerful lessons on healing and thriving through the murky seasons of life in this moving\, intimate guide to deeper self-awareness and radical joy.\nWe’ve all been there: We take a pause\, look at our lives\, and desire more—more from our relationships\, more from our wellness journeys\, maybe simply more from ourselves. 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.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ron White Discusses 'On Great Fields'
DESCRIPTION:Before 1862\, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine\, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army\, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg\, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top\, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers. Despite being wounded at Petersburg–and told by two surgeons he would die–Chamberlain survived the war\, going on to be elected governor of Maine four times and serve as president of Bowdoin College. \nHow did a stuttering young boy come to be fluent in nine languages and even teach speech and rhetoric? How did a trained minister find his way to the battlefield? Award-winning historian Ronald C. White delves into these contradictions in this cradle-to-grave biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain\, from his upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious\, empathetic military leadership and his influential postwar public service\, exploring a question that still plagues so many veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war? \nChamberlain is familiar to millions from Michael Shaara’s now-classic novel of the Civil War\, The Killer Angels\, and Ken Burns’s timeless miniseries The Civil War\, but in this book \, White captures the complex and inspiring man behind the hero . Heavily illustrated and featuring nine detailed maps\, this gripping\, impeccably researched portrait illuminates one of the most admired but least known figures in our nation’s bloodiest conflict.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Brooke Wentz\, in conversation with Anthony Davis\, discusses Transfigured New York: Interviews with Experimental Artists and Musicians\, 1980-1990
DESCRIPTION:Transfigured New York presents conversations with iconic\, genre-bending artists who shaped the sounds of experimental movements like no-wave\, avant-jazz\, and electronic music. As an undergrad in the 1980s\, Brooke Wentz hosted the show Transfigured Night on Columbia University’s WKCR-FM\, discussing art and ideas with avant-garde music luminaries. She unearths these candid interviews before only first broadcast from cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes\, letting readers today feel the excitement and creative energy of the 1980s New York underground scene. Musicians and artists\, now icons of their craft\, tell their stories and share their thoughts about the creative process\, capturing the ambition and energy that animated their work. Legends in the making like Bill Frisell\, Philip Glass\, and Laurie Anderson convey what it was like to be a struggling artist in 1980s New York when the city was alive with possibilities. Others who were well known at the time\, including John Cage\, La Monte Young\, and Ravi Shankar\, advocated for their distinctive ideas about art and opened up about their creative lives. Featuring an astonishing range of interviews with Subotnick\, Joan Tower\, Steve Reich\, Glenn Branca\, Joan La Barbara\, Living Colour\, Arthur Russell\, John Lurie\, Eric Bogosian\, Bill T. Jones\, and many more Transfigured New York provides new insight into the city’s cultural landscape in this era. It is a one-of-a-kind account of one of the most exhilarating and inventive periods for art and culture in New York City’s history.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Liên Shutt\, in conversation with Lon Kurashige\, discusses Home is Here
DESCRIPTION:Home is Here builds on foundational Buddhist teachings–the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path–offering an intersectional frame to help you embody antiracist practices and tend to your own healing under racism and oppression. \nGrounded in practice\, memoir\, and mindful self-help skill-building\, Rev. Liên Shutt’s Engaged Four Noble Truths illuminate a path toward healing and liberation. She shares her own experiences with anti-Asian hate–as a teen riding her bike\, meditating in whitewashed monasteries–and asks\, what does it mean to attend to our suffering in body\, heart\, and mind when racism can cause such intense hurt and pain? What does it look like to heal? \nWhile written mainly for Asian American Buddhists and other BIPOC practitioners\, Home is Here moves us all from knowing and contemplation to a place of action and wholeness. \nIn the doing is the realization\, and in practicing antiracism\, we build a home for all beings. This is reflected in Rev. Shutt’s choice to frame each step of the Engaged Eightfold Path not as “right” but as “skillful”–to convey both the knowing and the practices essential to healing harm.\nAn engaged reframing of core Buddhist spiritual principles\, Home is Here connects foundational practices to urgent causes–and invites readers on a path home to wholeness.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: David Kipen discusses Dear California: The Golden State in Diaries and Letters
DESCRIPTION:Dispatches from a land of extremes\, by writers and movie stars\, natives and visitors\, activists and pioneers\, and more. \nCalifornia has always been\, literally\, a place to write home about. Renowned figures and iconoclasts; politicians\, actors\, and artists; the world-famous and the not-so-much–all have contributed their voices to the patchwork of the state. With this book\, cultural historian and California scholar David Kipen reveals this long-storied place through its diaries and letters\, and gives readers a highly anticipated follow up to his book Dear Los Angeles. \nRunning from January 1 through December 31\, leaping across decades and centuries\, Dear California reflects on the state’s shifting landscapes and the notion of place. Entries talk across the centuries\, from indigenous stories told before the Spanish arrived on the Pacific coast through to present-day tweets\, blogs\, and other ephemera. The collected voices show how far we’ve wandered–and how far we still have to go in chasing the elusive California dream. \nThis is a book for readers who love California–and for anyone who simply treasures flavorful writing. Weaving together the personal\, the insightful\, the impressionistic\, the lewd\, and the hysterically funny\, Dear California presents collected writings essential to understanding the diversity\, antagonisms\, and abiding promise of the Golden State.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Local Author Day featuring Genevieve Huffman and Scott Lord
DESCRIPTION:Genevieve Huffman presents Time and Soul \nIn a universe governed by a continuous cycle of reincarnation\, death and time are no match for sorcerers Eva and Tir or their committed\, queer love. But while Eva takes a hard-earned rest between lives\, a villainous Edward plots revenge and sets out to destroy the universe. Moments before complete annihilation\, Eva awakens and travels back in time to erase Edward’s destruction. Returning to present day\, Eva searches for Tir and devises a plan to prevent Edward from enacting his plan a second time. Once back with Tir\, Eva faces off with the darkness consuming the universe. But her feelings of insecurity surrounding who she is threaten to upend their relationship. While fighting for a safe future together\, they explore the history of their singular love. Could their unique powers grow with their love for each other? And is it enough to defeat the evil forces at work? Traversing time and space\, they seek to uncover Edward’s true identity.

SUMMARY:SCCM: Native American Storytelling Series: “The Story of Fast Runner” read by the ECLD Team
DESCRIPTION:Hamiinat! SCCM is honored to host a Native Storytelling Series featuring the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians in honor of Native American Heritage Month in November. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from them about the ancestral lands that we occupy\, native culture\, and language in this native-led storytelling and craft series for families with children 8 years and younger. \nAbout the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians:\nThe citizens of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (Tribe) are the people of northern Los Angeles County. After thousands of years\, foreign powers began colonization in the late 1770s with the arrival of the Spanish followed by the establishment of Mexico and the United States. Despite settler colonization\, the Tribe continues to operate as a tribal community. \nThe Tribe originates in the lineages\, villages\, and cultures of the period that came before the establishment of Mission San Fernando in 1797\, from which their ancestors received the name Fernandeño during enslavement by the Spanish. The Native Americans that were taken to the Mission originally inhabited the villages originating in the Simi\, San Fernando\, Santa Clarita\, and Antelope Valleys. After the Mission period\, they became known as the Fernandeño historical Indian tribe. The Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians is comprised of the descendants of that historical tribe of Fernandeños.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Special Storytime featuring Sonoko Sakai presents Mai and the Missing Melon
DESCRIPTION:This charming story invites the reader on a journey through rural 1960s Japan following a little girl named Mai on the Enoden train\, past the oceanside populated with fishers\, and to the classic shrine-like home of her grandmother\, or obachama. \nLoosely based on an event in Sonoko’s childhood\, Mai wishes to share the gift of a sweet muskmelon with her grandmother but loses it on the train along the way. Obachama shares the Japanese folktale of The Stone Buddhas as an example of the power of good intentions to cheer Mai up. \nAfter the story\, Mai hears from the train station master that the melon has been found\, and she and her obachama are able to enjoy the sweet muskmelon together.\nThis sweet story explores the cherished relationship between a young girl and her grandmother-two great friends despite the age gap-while the expressive art takes the reader through the Japanese countryside\, past the sea\, bamboo forests\, and temples\, drawn from the author’s own childhood memories.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Illeana Douglas discusses Connecticut in the Movies: From Dream Houses to Dark Suburbia
DESCRIPTION:Illeana Douglas has long been known for shining new light on forgotten films. Now the celebrated actress and film historian turns her focus to a heretofore unrecognized brand: the Connecticut movie. Told from the passionate perspective of an author who grew up here\, Illeana takes the reader on a cinematic road trip through Hollywood history and Connecticut geography\, bringing the breezy\, intimate\, knowledgeable writing style acclaimed by reviewers of her first book\, I Blame Dennis Hopper (2015). Illeana defines how the perception of on-screen Connecticut\, originally created in Hollywood\, has shifted more than that of any other New England state over the decades. Films from Hollywood’s Golden Age\, such as Theodora Goes Wild\, Bringing Up Baby\, and Christmas in Connecticut\, presented Connecticut as an antidote to the metropolis–a place where you could find your true self. The slogan “Come to Peaceful Connecticut” not only led to Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House\, but to an exodus of urban moviegoers seeking their dream houses. Gentleman’s Agreement\, which highlighted social inequity\, challenged Connecticut’s well-cultivated image\, as did the dark suburban malaise of The Swimmer and The Ice Storm. From Sherlock Holmes to Mystic Pizza to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull\, from horror in The Stepford Wives to historical in Amistad\, the Constitution State has been at the heart of nearly two hundred feature films featuring a variety of genres. Illeana’s insights provide some surprising conclusions about just what it means to be a “Connecticut movie.” Filled with behind-the-scenes stories as well as her own personal snapshots of the places where these films were made\, Connecticut in the Movies is not only a keepsake for denizens of the state\, but a valuable resource for film buffs everywhere.
