NOWN FOR HER RICHLY LAYERED MUSICAL INTERPRETATION, activism, and love of performance - as well as a very early start as a child prodigy over four decades ago - the incomparable violinist Midori will join Festival Strings Lucerne in a West Coast Premiere at The Granada Theatre at 7pm Wednesday, November 8th. The concert, presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures, will feature Midori and FSL playing Schumann and Beethoven.

Forged during the pandemic, Midori’s collaboration with FSL began with a planned concert tour to Asia and Europe that was canceled.

Instead, the fruit was a recording of Beethoven’s Romance No. 2 in F major, for her Beethoven album (Warner Classics, 2020) commemorating Beethoven’s 250th birthday.

“I am looking forward to this tour with Festival Strings Lucerne and to performing the Schumann Violin Concerto,” Midori said in a release. “This is a musical partnership

Midori began her professional career at the age of eleven with a New York Philharmonic debut and has performed with many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras.

Schumann: Violin Concerto in D Minor, WoO 23 Beethoven: Symphony No. 7, op. 92

“Music has the capacity to inspire, to calm, console, to excite,” Midori shared in a podcast interview with David Krauss for Speaking Soundly this month. “For me, it opened doors to curiosity with history, with different languages, cultures.

It may serve as a gateway to the outside world if you are confined....

I recognized the wealth of diverse communities within NYC.... Music wasn’t just about classical music, it was about people. When we learn about different cultures and different traditions, we start to ask questions about our own culture. Why do we think the way we do and why do we react the way we sometimes do?”

Midori started another of her nonprofits, Partners in Performance, with the earnings from winning the Avery Fisher Prize. PiP co-presents chamber music concerts around the U.S., focusing on smaller communities that are outside the radius of major urban centers and have limited resources.

Perhaps part of her inspiration for engaging the community, she related to Krauss, comes from her family which she noted, were always “finding ways to connect with the community through their professional lives.” She added, “Music just happened to be, at that point, the means with which I could connect.”

In recognition of her work as an artist and humanitarian, Midori serves as a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Last season, she participated in a panel discussion, hosted by The Peace Studio, about what music can teach us about peaceful communication, alongside Joyce DiDonato and Wynton Marsalis; she delivered the Kim and Judy Davis Dean’s Lecture in the Humanities at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute (about non-profit leadership and volunteering); and she was awarded the Asian Cultural Council’s John D. Rockefeller 3rd Award for her contributions to the field of arts and cultural exchange. In 2022, Midori was also awarded the Brahms Prize by the Schleswig-Holstein Brahms Society.

In recognition of her lifetime of contributions to American culture, Midori is a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors and was celebrated by Yo-Yo Ma, Bette Midler, and John Lithgow, among others, during the May 2021 Honors ceremonies in Washington, DC.

Thriller is back! (and making stops in a neighborhood near you!)

W

ORLD DANCE FOR HUMANITY HAS BEGUN TEN DAYS OF FLASHMOBS in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and the Santa Ynez Valley all leading up to Halloween.

Their dancing Zombies are appearing on street corners, at upscale restaurants, in vineyards, at the zoo.…

They’ll go anywhere and dance ‘til they drop – for fun, for community, and to help those in need.

The grand finale will feature 100+ Thriller Dancers at the Sunken Gardens on October 28th.

The whole group of events will raise funds, for Rwanda and the Westside Boys & Girls Club. So far, the group is halfway to their goal of $25,000.

“Thrill the World is a global event that happens each year on the Saturday before Halloween, when thousands of enthusiastic Zombies gather to perform Thriller - unleashing their inner zombie for fun and for charity... People of all ages and backgrounds will rise from the undead at the same moment in time, on October 28th, casting away inhibitions to create a Spooktacular experience in their communities,” a release about the event noted.

Santa Barbara is home to a particularly dedicated group of Zombies organized

by World Dance for Humanity, a nonprofit that turns dance into humanitarian aid by using donations to help Rwandan Genocide survivors build new lives, provide direct aid to Ukraine, and bring help to the local community.

On Saturday, October 21st World Dance will be renting the Airbus to take 50 zombies to Thrill Los Olivos, Solvang, Neverland, and Cold Springs Tavern!

Maybe this year is your chance to meet a Zombie!

How To Protect Our Mental Health Admisdt Exposure To Worldwide Violence Self-Care with Broad Coverage of the Israel-Hamas War and Other Worldwide Violence

I

Submitted by Suzanne Grimmesey, MFT SBC Department of Behavioral Wellness

N ADDITION TO OTHER WARS AND POLITICAL UNREST TAKING PLACE GLOBALLY, the situation in Israel and Gaza continues to evolve and dominate news coverage. Despite being far from the site of conflict, we are exposed to images, stories and sounds through television, radio, printed stories and social media.

And this is taking a toll on many, including children. The American Psychological Association recently released a statement warning that consuming violent and traumatic news negatively affects our mental health.

Fear, anxiety and traumatic stress have long term effects on health and well-being. These impacts are being felt by people all around the world, not just by those who have families and friends in regions being impacted, but by others as well.

It is important to understand how to stay both informed and connected while being mindful of protecting our mental well-being, and of that of our children. Our community has shared together in many

traumatic events including mass casualty incidents, wildfires, mass shootings, the COVID-19 pandemic, among other shared high stress events. Even though events now occurring may not be happening directly in our community, the exposure through television, radio, print news, social media, even conversations in lines at the store or in restaurants intrude our minds in a way that prevent concentration, keep us from sleeping, impact our nervous systems and cause overall feelings of distress and anxiousness.

· Be transparent and honest · Talk about bad actions, not bad people · Highlight the helpers · Name your feelings · Be mindful of your own reactions and feelings · Model and teach healthy coping skills

Here are some things you can do right now for your mental health and for that of your family:

Eat a healthy diet.

Limit media intake. Find one or two trusted media outlets and check for updates once or twice a day only, for a limited time. Especially for children, it is important to be sure not to leave the television on all day playing news updates.

Talk to your children. Explain to kids in an age-appropriate way, what is happening. To ensure trust and children feeling comfortable talking, consider asking what they have heard, what they know, and how they feel. · Give children space to ask questions. Listen and really hear. · Limit media exposure · Reassure children that they are safe

Get moving. Take a walk, get outdoors, exercise.

Challenge a sense of hopelessness. Take action through volunteering for a cause important to you.

Make stress reduction a priority. Take care of yourself. Relax.

Get sleep. 5 minutes of mindful meditation can go a long way.

Stay connected with others. Know that you are not alone.

Connect with family, friends or like-minded community. If you need additional help, reach out for support by calling a mental health professional.

The Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness 24/7 Access Line can be reached by calling 1-888-868-1649.

Axel Wright is Kayaking for a Cause

T

O MARK HIS 13TH BIRTHDAY, Axel Wright created a GoFundMe page and decided to Kayak 13 miles from Anacapa Island to Oxnard to raise money and awareness for the local non-profit DignityMoves, which provides transitional housing for the unhoused.

“I chose this because it feels like the most substantial problem in Santa Barbara. It bums me out to see people living on the street because I know that our community can do something to help them, but most people don’t,” said Wright. “I like that DignityMoves isn’t just a place to live and sleep but it also has programs to help each individual person get back on their feet.”

DignityMoves is an organization that provides interim housing and supportive services for Santa Barbara County’s unhoused, with the goal of transitioning them to more permanent housing.

Wright’s plan was to raise $1,300, but he has since passed his financial goal.

“Axel is an extraordinary young man,” said Jack Lorenz, Regional Advancement Director for DignityMoves. “Most people don’t know what to do to help people living on the streets. Axel faced the issue head on and made a decision to do something about it. This is inspiring for all of us and I hope that our community helps support Axel’s GoFundMe campaign.”

Too Low Inflation a Danger

By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

R

ATHER THAN WORRY ABOUT TOO MUCH INFLATION still in the pipeline, we should worry about too little inflation going forward. The Producer Price Index of wholesale goods and services in September was 2.2 percent. It hit the Fed’s two percent target rate sometime between April-May this year. It then plunged to zero inflation in June 2023 before rising to the current 2.2 percent inflation rate.

Too low inflation was the worry in 2009 after the Great Recession and the reason former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke instituted the Quantitative Easing (QE) policies that injected enough money into the system to bring the inflation rate back to its two percent target.

Economic VOICE

By Harlan Green

Today’s 2.2 percent PPI tells us the cost of wholesale goods and services has reached the Fed’s target rate and is a reason the Fed may have gone too far in suppressing wholesale prices. It means the supply chains have recovered and could even be over producing, which would continue to depress prices.

Why be worried when prices have risen so much in just two years? Final Demand Producer prices peaked in March 2022 at 12 percent. Consumers want prices to come down, after all.

But it’s a very dangerous monetary policy to suppress demand with such high interest rates for a prolonged period as Fed officials are saying they want to do.

Companies and consumers can quickly change course should there be more unforeseen consequences, such as a wider Middle East war creating scarcities that push prices up again. The 3.3 percent rise in final demand energy prices was the major culprit of the September PPI report.

The retail Consumer Price Index for September was a bit higher because of rising shelter costs and gas prices. But the headline all items annual inflation rate remained at 3.7 percent as in August.

Local News for a Global Village | www.VoiceSB.com

It shows the same bell curve and has also flattened of late.

“It’s the latest encouraging sign for Fed policymakers, who have been raising interest rates since March 2022 in a campaign to slow the economy and cool price increases,’ said New York Times' Jeanna Smialek. “While economic momentum has held up better than expected, a less ebullient housing market and a grinding return to normalcy in the car market have helped key prices — like automobile and rents — to fade.”

Unfortunately, the release of the Fed’s September FOMC minutes showed Fed officials aren’t yet getting the message that their credit policy may be too restrictive.

MarketWatch reporter Greg Robb summed it up: “The 12 voting Fed officials were unanimous in their decision to keep interest rates at a 22-year high, between 5.25 percent and 5.5 while penciling an additional rate hike before the end of the year to bring down inflation. “Almost all” of the 19 Fed officials supported holding rates steady, the minutes said.”

I am hoping circumstances can convince the Fed that too low inflation poses a danger as well.

“The index for shelter was the largest contributor to the monthly all items increase, accounting for over half of the increase. An increase in the gasoline index was also a major contributor to the all items monthly rise,” said the BLS. So which index is more accurate?

Mariposa Series Set to Take Off

I

NNOVATIVE, CREATIVE, SPARKLING WITH TALLENT - all that you would expect from a concert

by Music Academy alums and teaching artists – that’s the Mariposa Series which takes wing Thursday, October 26th at 7pm when the piano duo Anderson & Roe are center stage at Hahn Hall. With Billboard chart-topping albums, Emmy-nominated music videos, and an extensive international touring schedule, Greg Anderson and 2001 Music Academy alum Elizabeth Joy Roe will bring classical music into 2023 in a powerful original performance.

The Mariposa series launched last year and was a sold-out success. This season looks to be just as popular with Anderson & Roe and then Anthony McGill & Gloria Chien, and Frank Huang & Natasha Kislenko. McGill was just named the 2024 Musical America Instrumentalist of the Year!

Anderson & Roe formed their musical partnership over two decades ago as students at The Juilliard School at Since forming their dynamic musical partnership as students at The Juilliard School. They have toured worldwide as recitalists and orchestral soloists; appeared on NPR, MTV, PBS, and the BBC; presented at numerous international leader symposiums; and served as hosts of “From the Top” and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

The duo discussed their planned program this way: “We have a program that I’m really excited to perform. It’s kind of split in two - we have a section devoted to one of our favorite composers of all time: Mozart. We’re playing a sonata for two pianos as well as our reinvention of our famous Rondo alla Turca, which we’ve dubbed the Ragtime alla Turca in our version.”

They finish with an “avant garde dueling piano gospel version of Let It Be.” The October 26th program will feature the duo’s original compositions that offer a modern spin on classical works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gustav Holst, and Leonard Cohen. Also on the program – John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s Let it Be. Followed by a free post-concert, meet the artist reception.

Additional Mariposa Concerts: Anthony Mcgill & Gloria Chien: Mon, Nov 6, 7pm Hahn Hall Frank Huang & Natasha Kislenko: Mon, Nov 20, 7pm Hahn Hall For tickets (Adults: $55 or all three events for $50 each/ Ages 7-17: free with a ticketed adult) visit www.musicacademy.org/mariposa

They continued, “We’re devoting the rest of the program to music of cosmic transcendence. We have a piece devoted to the mysteries of the unknown, a piece we call Nocturne on Neptune that we composed recently. We have one of music’s greatest depictions of a sunrise from Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. Then we have our own set of variations based on Leonard Cohen’s classic song Hallelujah.”

Piano Duo Elizabeth Joy Roe and Greg Anderson

FREE FAMILY DAY • SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22 • 11 AM – 4 PM For the 34th year, the Museum honors the Mexican tradition of remembering the dead with a display of altars created by students in the Museum’s school and outreach programs and local community groups.

Santa Barbara Symphony

Launching the new season

S

By Daniel Kepl / Special to VOICE

ANTA BARBARA’S CONCERT SEASON OFFICIALLY OPENED LAST WEEKEND at the Granada Theatre with what has become an annual collaborative tradition.

Beethoven’s eponymous “Ode to Joy” Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 was the blockbuster main feature for this year’s kick-off concert pair by the Santa Barbara Symphony. Joining the orchestra and Nir Kabaretti were the Santa Barbara Choral Society (Jo Anne Wasserman, Artistic Director, and Conductor), Santa Barbara Community College Quire of Voyces (Nathan Kreitzer, Artistic Director), the Westmont College Choir (Daniel Gee, Director of Choral Activities), and the Adelfos Ensemble (Temmo Korisheli, Artistic Director).

The four vocal soloists for the last movement of Beethoven’s Ninth were Johanna Will soprano, Christina Pezzarossi Ramsey mezzo-soprano, John Matthew Myers tenor, and Cedric Berry bassbaritone.

One constant among many in Santa Barbara’s vibrant cultural life is Santa Barbara Symphony Music and Artistic Director Nir Kabaretti. Not only is this small city on the American Riviera lucky to have such an internationally famous conductor in residence, he’s a nice guy and sensitive artist to boot.

Most importantly, maestro Kabaretti is devoted to contributing to our city’s artistic well-being and growth. Collaboration is his magic baton, and last weekend’s Santa Barbara Symphony Season opener was the latest of several collaborations the maestro has put together over the years of his tenure here between the orchestra and other performing arts groups in Santa Barbara.

in the company of musical friends navigated the notorious heights of her part with considerable clarity, her highest range holding well.

The Santa Barbara Symphony must have relished Kabaretti’s more correct tempos, particularly for the German marching band tune in the Alla Marcia section.

As for the audience reaction? No kidding, the last movement held us all in a trance of excitement.

During brief musical silences, not a sound in the hall. Beethoven’s Choral Symphony always earns standing ovations wherever it’s performed. It’s that kind of masterpiece. But there was something different in the air at last weekend’s performances. Audience, choristers, soloists, musicians knew they had just performed the Ode to Joy as Beethoven intended – at last. Very exciting!

Daniel Kepl has been writing music, theatre, and dance reviews or Santa Barbara publications since he was a teenager. His professional expertise is as an orchestra conductor.

For more reviews by Daniel Kepl visit: www.performingartsreview.net

Conducting the program entirely from memory, Kabaretti opened with a florid version of the chorus The Promise of Living, from Aaron Copland’s opera The Tender Land. A perfect vocal warm up for massed choirs, Copland’s elegant and inspiring music also pressed an important message home for all of us to think about in these times: “The promise of growing with faith and with knowing, is born of our sharing our love with our neighbor. The promise of ending in right understanding is peace in our hearts, peace with our neighbor.”

Franz Liszt’s Les preludes (1845-54), is probably the most famous of his 13 tone poems for orchestra. Kabaretti took full advantage of his players’ expertise, and delivered an unusually beautiful, elegantly crafted performance that not once lost itself in excess. Balances between sections were clean and clear to the ear (brass suspensions this listener had never heard before for example).

After intermission, Beethoven’s still amazing, still mystifying, still profoundly moving, and essentially immortal Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (1822-24). Symphony No. 9 was Beethoven’s last. The structure is four movements, but the substance of each of those four is revolutionary, particularly the last movement, where Beethoven utilizes massed choirs, four vocal soloists, a marching band, and storm’s fury to accommodate Friedrich Schiller’s An die Freude (Ode to Joy).

Kabaretti, who has conducted Beethoven’s masterpiece on several occasions in various venues worldwide, made it clear by his relaxed but confident manner, he and his incredible orchestra were in familiar, even intimate territory. The first three movements, all instrumental, were a wonder of refinement and taste. Power when needed was rounded and beautiful, the quiet moments, as in the third movement Adagio molto e cantabile, convinced this listener Kabaretti had homeland on his mind; a supremely moving performance by all.

What hasn’t been said about the last movement? It’s beginning to be clear, as misunderstandings and copying mishaps are sorted out, Beethoven’s tempos were exactly what he said they were to be – fast. He even notated these fast tempos in the score using the newly invented metronome. Nobody believed him. It will take a long while to spread the word about the exhilaration of performing the last movement at Beethoven’s tempos. Conductor Kabaretti was ahead of the pack. Fast! The result, as choristers, orchestra, soloists, and audience alike discovered was a whirlwind of energy as Beethoven wanted it; thrilling, fast-paced, full of surprises.

The combined choirs sang with new intensity, wonderful balance, and inspiring exaltation – all brightness and fast-paced, exactly as Beethoven wanted it. Ditto the four soloists, whose narratives in ensemble and solo made for conversational not lugubrious vocal exchanges, a pleasure to enjoy.

Tenor John Matthew Myers dug in and pushed the tempo of his narrative with vigor. The emotional result was breathtaking, his voice solid. Balance between the four soloists in the famous and brutal solo quartet passages found bass-baritone Cedric Berry in particularly rich low voice. Mezzo Christina Pezzarossi Ramsey made a marvel for the ears of her mid-range color and intelligent articulative maneuvers to accommodate Beethoven’s inner lines with clarity and style.

A Whale of a Day! HE RETURN OF THE MAGNIFICENT MYSTIC WHALER last Sunday made for a day of celebration! Moored along the harbor’s city dock, the 110 foot schooner was a sight to see! With the tall ship’s majestic masts and gleaming decks reflecting the glow of the afternoon sun, spectators gathered along the walkways for a closer view. Dockside were rows of chairs, fully occupied, for special guests to enjoy the auspicious occasion.

This much anticipated event was to celebrate the Mystic Whaler’s Pacific Ocean Commissioning at the center of the Santa Barbara harbor. The schooner is in the capable hands of Executive Director and Captain, Christine Healy. Standing nearby were Sarah and Roger Chrisman whose dream it was to act on the fact that the Santa Barbara Channel, its ocean, islands, and coastline, are rich in educational treasures from which everyone should benefit.

Together they founded the Central Coast Ocean Adventures (CCOA), a foundation committed to making the Channel and experiential education more accessible to the Santa Barbara and Ventura County communities.

Captain Christine Healy

“We are so proud have the Mystic Whaler here in Santa Barbara again to introduce young people to our educational program, ‘Sailing Through Time,’ exclaimed Roger Chrisman from the tall ship’s deck.

“We are also grateful to partner with the Maritime Museum and its staff to achieve our mission.”

Under the umbrella of the Museum’s educational outreach, 4th to 6th grade students experienced “the life of a common sailor at sea as it really is” as described by Richard Henry Dana in his book Two Years Before The Mast. During the schooner’s stay from October 3rd to 26th over 800 students are having the opportunity to literally sail through time to the mid-1800’s to learn what was involved sailing, navigating, and maintaining a ship of that size without modern navigational aides or modern conveniences … also minus their cell phones. Yikes!

The Central Coast Ocean Adventure’s mission is the experiential teaching of seamanship, teamwork, leadership, and environmental responsibility. The CCOA Foundation’s educational philosophy rests on the fact that practical application and lived experience deepen and strengthen understanding, retention, and appreciation of newly learned concepts. Sailing and navigating a traditionally rigged tall ship such as Mystic Whaler intrinsically offers not only applied learning of nautical skills but of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – or STEM’s–academic principles. The challenge of handling such a huge vessel for young people (or those of any age!) is also the perfect medium for social and emotional learning … mid-1800’s style!

At the conclusion of the ceremony, guests walked to the Maritime Museum for a reception and tasty hors d’oeurves and a selection of wines. Spotted in the crowd was Santa Barbara Mayor Randy Rowse, Council Member Oscar Gutierrez, and a member of Congressman Salud Carbajal’s staff. A warm welcome was extended by the museum’s Executive Director Greg Gorga who shared, “Sarah and Roger Chrisman’s vision provided the opportunity to continue one of the museum’s most popular educational programs based on Dana’s nautical narrative, summarily ended by an act of nature. It’s great to see kids from all over the County climbing aboard a tall ship once again and experiencing the treasures of the ocean, thanks to CCOA and the generosity of the Chrismans.”

After a few words about the Mystic Whaler Roger Chrsiman introduced Captain Christine Healy who regaled her audience with a slide presentation of the Mystic Whaler’s journey from Mystic, Connecticut through the Panama Canal Roger Chrisman to its permanent home in the Channel Islands Harbor just to the south.

I have to tell you that Captain Healy’s talk was so interesting that I returned the next day for another of her presentations at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club... but that’s the subject for another column.

The Theatre Group at SBCC Presents Emma

The play tells the story of a charming, witty, and independent-minded woman who believes that her greatest talent is as that of a matchmaker. Her wellmeaning but misguided attempts to pair off her friends and neighbors end up in chaos and comedy as she comes to discover that well beyond misunderstanding the hearts of those around her, she may not even understand her own.

Hamill’s Emma provides fast-paced action and a fresh feminist take on a treasured classic.

The playwright is from the farms and fields of upstate

New York, and is an awardwinning NYC-based actor/ playwright. She was named 2017’s Playwright of the Year by the Wall Street Journal. She has been one of the ten mostproduced playwrights in the country.

The cast for Emma: includes Anikka Abbott, Robert Allen, Clayton Barry, Lexie Brent, Rachel Brown, Mario Guerrero, Luke Hamilton, Lana Kanen, Jenna Scanlon, Sue Smiley, Van Riker ,and Grace Wilson.

ART & CULTURE

‘Love and care outside normativity’ — a new art show immerses viewers in queer placemaking

R

OBERT LAZZARINI’S 2003 SCULPTURE OF A WARPED PORCELAIN TEACUP references “spilling the tea” or gossiping with friends; but it also engages with storytelling, creating a sense of home, shared language, and queer placemaking.

Through this lens — and through objects such as Lazzarini’s Teacup — a new exhibition at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum reimagines spaces such as discos, dive bars, living rooms, and bathrooms.

“Within communities that are already marginalized, these spaces are fundamental to ideas of safety, worldmaking, and dreaming,” said Graham Feyl, who co-curated the exhibition, Please, Come In… (Sept. 23–Dec.17), with Sylvia Faichney; both are graduate students in the UC Santa Barbara Department of the History of Art and Architecture.

and friendship dynamics. A bathroom brings together objects that suggest transformation and express interiority or collectivity. A dive bar, considered in its capacity as a space of intimacy and activism, includes objects and images that signal collective engagement.

Finally, a discotheque showcases the ephemeral by displaying the textures and rhythmic qualities of discos’ material culture.

“These environments are not mirrors or recreations, they are evocative traces that follow accounts shared by queer communities and emphasize how central these sites are to their histories,” Faichney and Feyl write in their exhibition brochure.

Rod Lathim to Light Up Helena Mason Gallery

W

ITH OVER 20 NEW THREE DIMENSIONAL WORKS, Rod Lathim’s Neon Sculptures will be exhibited at the Helena Mason Gallery in the Funk Zone, from October 21st through December 24th. An opening reception with wine and live music is Saturday October 21st from 6 to 9pm.

“Light and music are both ethereal, life-affirming, and mystical intangibles that have played important roles in my spiritual life,” said Lathim. “I believe that, like art, both music and light have a restorative, healing impact on humans. I love creating art that speaks to the soul and reflects the past life of the objects I Plugged In and Lit Up by Rod Lathim work with. They speak to me and guide me in the design of the neon elements.”

Over the last year, Lathim has presented his art in New York City on Madison Ave; in Nashville, TN; Palm Desert; and Palm Springs. His work explores the fascinating interaction between matter and light.

Often incorporating vintage objects in a new context, and marrying various artistic styles and epochs, his work references pop, minimalism, retrofuturism, and deconstruction. New York-based art critic Benji Su has described his work as “a dualistic reminder of art history.”

Many of Lathim’s new works combine two of his favorite elements in life: Light and Music. He pulls from his long career in directing and producing theatre and concerts to create works that bring the essence, emotion, and movement of music to light, using vintage instruments to build upon.

Both solid colors and beaded neon are incorporated in his sculptures.

Beaded neon – rarely seen – creates a spectacular effect resulting in a chain of little light beads travelling through the glass tubes – producing a kinetic sculpture.

Unique works of Lathim’s can also be seen in VOICE Gallery and the Unite To Light Art Exhibit at CAW on October 20th and 21st. Helena Mason Gallery is also featuring the work of painter Bob Hernandez. The Gallery is across the street from Hotel Californian on Helena Ave. in The Funk Zone. Gallery hours are Friday and Saturday 12-5pm and Monday – Thursday 12-5pm by appointment – call 805 341-0419. www.rodlathim.com @rodlathim Helenamasonartgallery.com

Sentiment analysis entails the widespread surveillance of users’ posts and actions to determine how they feel.

This talk outlines the importance of early- and mid20th-century studies of women workers and Japanese and Japanese-American internees in U.S. WWII internment camps to the rise of sentiment analysis. A reception will follow.

THE INTERDISCIPLINARY HUMANITIES CENTER SERIES:

PRESENTING NEW PUBLICATIONS AND CREATIVE PROJECTS BY HFA FACULTY Join us for a dialogue between Yunte Huang (English) and Constance Penley (Film and Media Studies) about Huang’s new book, Daughter of the Dragon: Anna May Wong’s Rendezvous with American History. Refreshments will be served.

Tuesday, October 24 | 4:00 pm McCune Conference Room, 6020 HSSB

YUNTE HUANG Daughter of the Dragon: Anna May Wong’s Rendezvous with American History (Liverlight: August 2023) Daughter of the Dragon is a trenchant reclamation of the Chinese American movie star, whose battles against cinematic exploitation and endemic racism are set against the currents of twentieth-century history.

Born into the steam and starch of a Chinese laundry, Anna May Wong (1905–1961) emerged from turn-of-the-century Los Angeles to become Old Hollywood’s most famous Chinese American actress, a screen siren who captivated global audiences and signed her publicity photos—with a touch of defiance—“Orientally yours.” Now, more than a century after her birth, Yunte Huang narrates Wong’s tragic life story, retracing her journey from Chinatown to silent-era Hollywood, and from Weimar Berlin to decadent, prewar Shanghai, and capturing American television in its infancy. As Huang shows, Wong’s rendezvous with history features a remarkable parade of characters, including a smitten Walter Benjamin and (an equally smitten) Marlene Dietrich. Challenging the parodically racist perceptions of Wong as a “Dragon Lady,” “Madame Butterfly,” or “China Doll,” Huang’s biography becomes a truly resonant work of history that reflects the raging anti-Chinese xenophobia, unabashed sexism, and ageism toward women that defined both Hollywood and America in Wong’s all-too-brief fifty-six years on earth.

Yunte Huang is Distinguished Professor of English at UC Santa Barbara and is the author, most recently, of Inseparable: The Original Siamese Twins and Their Rendezvous with American History and Charlie Chan: The Untold Story of the Honorable Detective and His Rendezvous with American History.
