SUMMARY:Wende Museum Meditations with Christiane Wolf
DESCRIPTION:Join us for weekly mindfulness meditations. All are welcome\, regardless of experience level.\n\n\nJoin us for our new weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful garden of the Wende Museum. \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. \nWhat is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends\, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices\, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better\, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful. \nWe practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor\, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind\, challenging emotions\, and even physical pain. We can access peace\, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal \nand others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd.

SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Surveillance: Francisco Maso in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join conceptual artist Francisco Maso and Cara Megan Lewis\, Deputy Director of the Wende Museum\, for a thought-provoking conversation.\n\n\nJoin conceptual artist Francisco Maso and Cara Megan Lewis\, Deputy Director of the Wende Museum\, for a thought-provoking conversation on Aesthetic Register of Covert Forces\, a powerful series featured in the exhibition Counter/Surveillance: Control\, Privacy\, Agency. Curated by Wende Museum Chief Curator Joes Segal and science historian Marieke Drost\, the exhibition explores how dissidents and artists—particularly during the Cold War—responded creatively to surveillance. From forged passports and disguises to encrypted communication and performative resistance\, artists developed strategies to operate under the radar and\, at times\, to “watch the watchers.” \nIn this conversation\, Maso and Lewis will explore how Aesthetic Register of Covert Forces draws from the artist’s personal archive of surveillance aesthetics—including the undercover uniforms of secret agents—to bear witness to Cuba’s long-standing history of censorship and control. Through this body of work\, Maso reclaims abstract visual language\, transforming it into a form of political resistance and historical testimony. \nAbout the Artist\nFrancisco Maso (Havana\, 1988) is a Cuban-born\, AfroLatinx conceptual artist living and working in Miami. Maso’s work delves into the contemporary understanding of “unconscious behaviors” and challenges what is accepted by society as natural\, necessary\, and normal. As a conceptual artist\, he examines the concept of power and the relationships between blackness\, civil rights\, and the police system through the lens of his personal experiences in Cuba\, Japan\, and the United States. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot. It will open approximately 30 minutes before the program begins. \nRSVPs for this free program do not guarantee admission to the A-Frame Theater. Doors will open and seating will begin 15 minutes prior to the start of the program. Limited seating is available on a first come\, first served basis. Please note that doors will close promptly at the program’s start time and late entry will not be permitted.
