UCLA Art Student and Alumni Opportunities

Hi! We are Mann Mukti, a dedicated group committed to advocating for our community, shifting the conversation around mental health, and offering valuable resources to the South Asian population. In honor of October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are kicking off our advocacy efforts by hosting a wellness fair and candlelight vigil on Monday, October 28th from 4-7 pm in Bruin Plaza. Throughout most of the event, we aim to provide students with opportunities to connect with holistic wellness resources and freebies, participate in workshops on building self-compassion and fostering healthy relationships, and engage in self-care activities. In the final 30 minutes, we will come together in front of the stage for a candlelight vigil led by SAHARA, a non-profit organization serving Survivors of all forms of abuse within the South Asian community and beyond. Join us in supporting Domestic Violence Awareness Month and help raise awareness about the impact of domestic violence on our community, as well as the importance of prevention and resources for survivors and allies alike.

(Los Angeles, CA) — The California African American Museum (CAAM) and Art + Practice (A+P) announce the presentation of a retrospective highlighting the work of media arts innovator and community leader Ben Caldwell. The multimedia exhibition KAOS Theory: The Afrokosmic Media Arts of Ben Caldwell will be on view October 12, 2024–March 8, 2025 at A+P in Leimert Park.

Born in 1945 in New Mexico, Ben Caldwell is a dreamer from the desert who spent his youth gazing at the sky and watching his grandfather project films at a local movie theater. After being drafted and serving in the Vietnam War, Caldwell shed his gun for a camera and eventually landed in Los Angeles to pursue an MFA in film at UCLA, coming of age within the groundbreaking LA Rebellion film movement of the 1960s to 1980s. 

Working closely with other Black filmmakers and educators, Caldwell envisioned cinema as an instrument that could heal and emancipate. In 1984, he opened KAOS Network, the media arts hub that has helped steward Leimert Park Village’s traditions of Black artistry, fellowship, and love for over four decades.

The SWC CPR & First Aid Program at UCLA is a committee under USAC’s Student Wellness Commission. Our goal is to curb the rising trend of increasing prehospital deaths around the nation by teaching basic life-saving skills to community members. Our program’s instructors are a team of dedicated UCLA undergraduates of all majors, certified by the American Heart Association to teach Heartsaver CPR and First Aid, as well as Basic Life Support (BLS).

While we usually spend fall teaching in-person courses, we will instead be focusing this quarter on the teaching and leadership development of our new instructors in addition to welcoming and integrating them into our CPR family. We are excited to show y’all what the #cprlove is all about!❤️⚡️
