Wide Open Studios 2021 programs

Wednesday, April 7th, 2021

I’m a Portland-based artist and educator, writing in my capacity as Director of the outdoor art program Wide Open Studios, a project of Signal Fire. We’re seeking candidates for our summer programs and I wonder if you’d please consider sharing this opportunity with the UCLA art community.

Briefly: Wide Open Studios offers art, writing, and ecology courses on public lands. We teach our students low-impact camping skills from the ground up, introduce them to the natural and cultural history of the places we work, and invite them to expand their creative practice through a series of remote and site-informed projects. It’s a life-changing experience for students and instructors alike. We curate each cohort to assemble a diverse group, and we do offer scholarships.

I’m attaching a PDF flyer, and we have a zoom info session next Tuesday. Feel free to connect me to students directly if you know a good candidate. They can learn more at wideopenstudios.org.

Book Talk: Repercussions of Mass Incarceration

Friday, April 2nd, 2021

Book Talk About Mass Incarceration

Thursday, March 11

12:30 pm, Pacific Time

REGISTER NOW

 

Each year, more than half a million Americans are released from prison to become part of the 20 million people living with a felony record.

Reuben J. Miller is a sociologist studying mass incarceration and a former chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago who spent years alongside prisoners and former prisoners, as well as their friends and families. His deep understanding of the lifelong repercussions of even a single arrest reveals that life after incarceration can be its own form of prison.

Miller’s book, “Halfway Home: Race, Punishment and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration,” shows that the American justice system was not created to rehabilitate but to keep classes of Americans impoverished, unstable and disenfranchised long after they’ve paid their debt to society.

This virtual book talk by Miller will be followed by a brief discussion about the inequities of the U.S. criminal justice system featuring:

Laura Abrams, professor and chair of UCLA Luskin Social Welfare
Amada Armenta Ph.D. sociology ’11, associate professor of urban planning
Isaac Bryan MPP ’18, director of the UCLA Black Policy Project
Michael Mendoza, director of national advocacy for the Anti-Recidivism Coalition

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

Learn more about Legislative Theatre:
Using Theatre of the Oppressed methodology, particularly the technique of Legislative Theatre, our UCLA Prison Education Program professors and visiting scholar from the Center for the Theatre of the Oppressed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil facilitated incarcerated students along with university students to become part of a collaborative process of political education and engagement. Through their scene performances students invited their audience to imagine alternative futures to their scenes by investigating with the audience the reality and then embody change through their legislative proposals. These proposals were shared with the “Legislative Brain Trust” a group of experts and advocates in the criminal justice and legislative process, who facilitated discussion until reaching consensus. We now need to bring these proposals to our legislators.
