SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:In June\, our regular Mindfulness session with Christiane Wolf will be replaced by a Sound Bath led by Kris Matsuoka. Christiane returns on Wednesday\, July 1. \nWhether you are new to meditation or already have experience\, we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful A-Frame Theater of the Wende Museum’s Wende Museum Community Center. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class. \nThis Sound Bath is designed as a continuation of Christiane Wolf’s regular Wellness Wednesday session. We will begin together with a visualization for inner peace\, followed by a guided relaxation of the body to help release tension\, and finish by relaxing together to sound from live instruments tuned specifically to help you find peace. Please wear comfortable clothes. Floor space is limited for those who wish to lie down for the full experience\, but you are welcome to bring a yoga mat\, pillow\, and blankets. \nTeacher Bio: \nKris Matsuoka is a Los Angeles native and a graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He lives and works in Culver City\, California. \nWhile working in the creative industry\, Kris was always asked the same question: “How do you come up with your ideas?” That led to an ongoing exploration of a second question: “Where do ideas even come from?” Looking into the lives of his favorite artists and mentors\, Kris found one common thread. They had all turned to meditation at some point\, and discovered that “not knowing” is a nice place to be. \nThrough the practice of meditation\, Kris has seen how it can sharpen our perception of the world and reconnect us with nature. Sound meditation has become his most recent area of focus. For the past decade\, he has hosted Sound Baths\, workshops\, and classes that use sound to invoke a sense of wonder and help people relax. Kris has found that in a relaxed\, free\, and peaceful state\, your best ideas come most clearly. \nPlease enter through the garden gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first served. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:The Future of History in the Age of A.I.
DESCRIPTION:The second installment of The Future of History\, presented through the Meyer and Renee Luskin Public History Program at the Wende in conjunction with the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. \nHistory is a record of what we choose to keep and how we narrate the past. We now live in an age in which machines\, or combinations of computer chips\, can not only choose what to preserve but also generate new narratives of the past. Artificial intelligence (A.I.) gathers\, sorts\, and generates the documents of our age. In doing so\, it can recall the past in seconds. But it can also invent\, misrepresent\, or distort it. \nWhat will history look like in the age of A.I.? Who will decide what is true? Whose memory survives\, and whose is lost? A historian\, a computer scientist\, an information scholar\, and a digital humanities scholar take up these and other questions\, moderated by David N. Myers. \nDavid N. Myers is Distinguished Professor of History and UCLA and served as founding director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy (2017-2026). \nTobias “Toby” Higbie is Professor of History and Labor Studies at UCLA and director of the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment. He builds digital archives that turn historical records into research tools. \nSaadia Gabriel is Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and founder of the Misinformation\, AI and Responsible Society (MARS) Lab. She studies how language carries factuality\, intent\, and harm\, and how to build more responsible A.I. \nCindy Anh Nguyen is Assistant Professor of Information Studies at UCLA. Her book Bibliotactics: Libraries and the Colonial Public in Vietnam (University of California Press\, 2026) traces how libraries served as both tools of colonial control and spaces of public critique. \nTodd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies and directs the Large Language Lab. His book Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (Princeton University Press\, 2024) examines how A.I. is reshaping the practice of Holocaust history. \nAbout the Meyer and Renee Luskin Public History Program at the Wende:\nThis series is made possible through the extraordinary generosity of Meyer and Renee Luskin\, visionary philanthropists whose support has advanced groundbreaking research and community engagement across Los Angeles and beyond. Through their commitment to education\, policy innovation\, and public history\, the Luskins have transformed institutions such as UCLA\, where the Luskin Center for History and Policy is pioneering efforts to apply historical analysis to contemporary challenges. Their dedication to fostering knowledge and civic dialogue ensures that history remains a vital resource in shaping a more just and informed society. \nAs the museum will be closed during this evening program\, please enter through the garden gate. The garden gate will open 30 minutes before the start time for check-in and ADA access. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come\, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.
