SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays and Other Subversions
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Samizdat Sundays—hands‑on textile workshops inspired by the spirit of creative resistance and DIY culture found in samizdat traditions. Each week offers a different project\, connecting archival stories of subversion with contemporary making. \nWe encourage participants to bring an item each week—a T‑shirt\, a pair of jeans\, or any textile you’re ready to transform\, repair\, or experiment with. \nEach session is free\, open to all skill levels\, and guided by artists who delight in subversion and play. Come for one or come for all—together we’ll stitch\, alter\, repair\, and imagine new forms of expression. \nSchedule \nSun\, Nov 2 | Memorial Accordion Book \nCoinciding with Day of the Dead\, design a decorated accordion book from cloth\, paper\, or drawing. \nSun\, Nov 9 | Image/Text Collage: Mini-Zine \nUse old magazines to create a one-page zine or collage. \nSun\, Nov 16 | Image/Text Collage: Reveal/Conceal \nPlay with envelopes and folding forms that hide and reveal images and text. \nSun\, Nov 23 | Image/Text Collage: Accordion or Box \nCraft books or boxes entirely from salvaged magazine and book pages. \nSun\, Dec 7 | Mail Art: Postcards \nExperiment with small-scale postal art. \nSun\, Dec 14 | Mail Art: Folding Cards \nMake folding cards with or without custom envelopes. \nSun\, Dec 21 | Mail Art: Mail-a-Scroll \nSend a scroll through the USPS—cloth or paper\, testing the limits of the post. \nAbout the teaching artist \nKate Ingold is an LA-based artist and poet working with the discarded\, the damaged\, and the worn out. Materials and methods include textiles\, collage\, photography\, video\, ceramics\, and performative installation. She works in series driven by conceptual concerns and is currently making work in two interwoven projects: Relics for Future Rituals and Damaged Goods/Small Repairs. \nRSVPs for this free program do not guarantee admission. Limited seating is available on a first come\, first served basis. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Reading Willa Cather: American Voice
DESCRIPTION:Willa Cather was one of the most singular American novelists of the 20th century. She broke new ground as an artist by emphasizing ordinary lives and struggles\, lending dignity and significance to her characters’ inner worlds. Behind the appearance of serenity in her stories\, however\, stands a complex writer of conflict who was doubtful of even the possibility of knowing anything for certain. \nJoin LA-based actors Linda Bisesti and Matthew Reidy for an afternoon of selections from Willa Cather’s fiction\, criticism\, and letters. \n“The end is nothing\, the road is all.” – Willa Cather\, Old Mrs. Harris

SUMMARY:Julia Ioffe on Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wende Museum in partnership with the Skirball Cultural Center for an evening with acclaimed journalist Julia Ioffe\, discussing her National Book Award–finalist Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia\, from Revolution to Autocracy\, in conversation with Franklin Leonard. \nIn this sweeping narrative\, Ioffe tells the story of modern Russia through the lives of its women\, from revolutionaries and soldiers to mothers\, dissidents\, and artists. \nDrawing on personal history and decades of reporting\, Ioffe traces how Soviet ideals of equality gave way to a new patriarchy under Putin\, revealing what the transformation means for women and for Russia’s future.
