In 16 newly commissioned projects, alongside other works of video, painting, sculpture, installation, sound, and performance, across three exhibition sites, "Seeing through Stone" provides a model of hope in practice. The exhibition is a celebration of the expanding constellation of abolition: the organizing, dreaming, world-making, and creative activism around the globe that offers ways to see—and live– differently.

Prisons are so ingrained in history and the cultural imagination as to appear inevitable. From current structures of prisons, jails, and immigrant detention centers to past manifestations, such as Native American boarding schools and American chattel slavery, our world is bound together by carceral structures that equate punishment with justice. Yet as long as prisons have existed, alternatives to prison have also flourished. When poet Etheridge Knight (1931–1991) wrote from Indiana State Prison in 1968 of “seeing through stone,” he evoked the secret eyes of those able to see beyond the realities of prison to a world otherwise.

The 85 artists and collectives in "Seeing through Stone" see otherwise. Sharing a capacity for radical sight, they include currently and formerly incarcerated artists alongside those without that lived experience from different sociopolitical contexts around the globe. Their projects include supporting creative networks in Guantanamo, educating youth in Rio de Janeiro, and organizing landless farmers in the Philippines, as well as more poetic and conceptual projects engaging an aesthetics of abolition. Their work brings into view a world where people seek safety with, rather than from, one another; where medicine grows from prison manure and land is cultivated for food, not capital; where blue finally means sky.

Stay interviews are a tried-and-true tool organizations can use routinely to assess and plan for turnover risks. Along with succession and workforce planning, stay interviews help companies mitigate risks that come with employee departures.

This presentation will take you on the journey, reveal the tools and processes used to evaluate and address challenges, and how to chart a new course. You will leave this session with practical techniques you can use in your organization tomorrow.

This event is organized by the Silicon Valley Chapter of the National Human Resources Association and co-sponsored by the UCSC Silicon Valley Professional Education Human Resource Management program.

Join us as we welcome Professor Ana Celia Zentella (professor emerita, UC San Diego) to discuss the political, social, and educational barriers that California’s Spanish-English bilinguals must overcome to ensure a bilingual future for themselves and their children. She suggests ways that students, parents, teachers, university faculty and community groups can contribute successfully.

Cheer on the Banana Slugs as they travel the nation to compete with the best DIII volleyball programs in the nation.

Please join us on Saturday, Oct. 12th at 10 am for a dialogue focused on Indigenous social networks and health in California followed by lunch. This event will bring together researchers, students, community leaders, and members of the public to talk about the role of social networks in Indigenous communities in California and their impact in decisions about health. All are welcome to join Connect/Conectados - The Indigenous Social Networks and Health Research Collaborative for two groups of lighting talks (in English and Spanish) focusing on paths to Indigenous community leadership, the importance of social networks among Native American and Indigenous migrant communities, and learnings from the pandemic and beyond.

This bilingual dialogue will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024 at the Namaste Lounge on the UC Santa Cruz campus from 10 am – 12 pm . Lunch will be provided immediately following the dialogue. The event is free and open to the University community and the public. Please join us!

About the Project

Connect/Conectados - The Indigenous Social Networks and Health Research Collaborative is co-led by researchers from UC Merced, UC Santa Cruz, and UC San Francisco and advised by a group of Indigenous community leaders doing amazing work across California. Connect/Connectados bridges diverse Indigenous experiences by centering people living in California who identify as Native American and/or Indigenous migrants from Mesoamerica. This project is dedicated to an asset-based approach to the study of social networks, specifically exploring the role of cross-Tribal and cross-border social relations, in promoting health and wellbeing within Indigenous communities.

From current structures of prisons, jails, and immigrant detention centers to past manifestations, such as Native American boarding schools and American chattel slavery, our world is bound together by carceral structures that equate punishment with justice. Yet as long as prisons have existed, alternatives to prison have also flourished. When poet Etheridge Knight (1931–1991) wrote from Indiana State Prison in 1968 of “seeing through stone,” he evoked the secret eyes of those able to see beyond the realities of prison to a world otherwise.

The 85 artists and collectives in "Seeing through Stone" see otherwise. Sharing a capacity for radical sight, they include currently and formerly incarcerated artists alongside those without that lived experience from different sociopolitical contexts around the globe. Their projects include supporting creative networks in Guantanamo, educating youth in Rio de Janeiro, and organizing landless farmers in the Philippines, as well as more poetic and conceptual projects engaging an aesthetics of abolition. Their work brings into view a world where people seek safety with, rather than from, one another; where medicine grows from prison manure and land is cultivated for food, not capital; where blue finally means sky.

In honor of Latine Heritage Month, join us for a book talk with Karla Tatiana Vasquez, author of “The SalviSoul Cookbook”— the first Salvadoran cookbook traditionally published in the U.S. Karla shares her story of being born in El Salvador and raised in Los Angeles after her family fled during the 1980s amid the country’s civil war. Through eighty recipes, she explores the rich flavors of Salvadoran cuisine and themes of intergenerational storytelling, cultural preservation of Salvadoran traditions through the culinary arts, and the women and matriarchs that preserve them.

The exhibition is a celebration of the expanding constellation of abolition: the organizing, dreaming, world-making, and creative activism around the globe that offers ways to see—and live– differently.

Prisons are so ingrained in history and the cultural imagination as to appear inevitable. From current structures of prisons, jails, and immigrant detention centers to past manifestations, such as Native American boarding schools and American chattel slavery, our world is bound together by carceral structures that equate punishment with justice. Yet as long as prisons have existed, alternatives to prison have also flourished. When poet Etheridge Knight (1931–1991) wrote from Indiana State Prison in 1968 of “seeing through stone,” he evoked the secret eyes of those able to see beyond the realities of prison to a world otherwise.

The 85 artists and collectives in "Seeing through Stone" see otherwise. Sharing a capacity for radical sight, they include currently and formerly incarcerated artists alongside those without that lived experience from different sociopolitical contexts around the globe. Their projects include supporting creative networks in Guantanamo, educating youth in Rio de Janeiro, and organizing landless farmers in the Philippines, as well as more poetic and conceptual projects engaging an aesthetics of abolition. Their work brings into view a world where people seek safety with, rather than from, one another; where medicine grows from prison manure and land is cultivated for food, not capital; where blue finally means sky.

The 85 artists and collectives in "Seeing through Stone" see otherwise. Sharing a capacity for radical sight, they include currently and formerly incarcerated artists alongside those without that lived experience from different sociopolitical contexts around the globe. Their projects include supporting creative networks in Guantanamo, educating youth in Rio de Janeiro, and organizing landless farmers in the Philippines, as well as more poetic and conceptual projects engaging an aesthetics of abolition. Their work brings into view a world where people seek safety with, rather than from, one another; where medicine grows from prison manure and land is cultivated for food, not capital; where blue finally means sky.

Prisons are so ingrained in history and the cultural imagination as to appear inevitable. From current structures of prisons, jails, and immigrant detention centers to past manifestations, such as Native American boarding schools and American chattel slavery, our world is bound together by carceral structures that equate punishment with justice.
