SUMMARY:Easy Rawlins and Beyond: In Conversation with Walter Mosley
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Wende Museum on October 8th to celebrate the release of Walter Mosley’s newest novel\, Gray Dawn! \nWalter will discuss his work\, iconic characters\, and influential career alongside novelist Gary Phillips. Don’t miss two of the biggest and best crime fiction authors working today in this historic venue! \nAbout the participants: \nWalter Mosley is one of America’s most celebrated writers. He was given the 2020 National Book Award’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, named a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America\, and honored with the Anisfield-Wolf Award\, a Grammy\, a PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award\, the Robert Kirsch Award\, numerous Edgars\, and several NAACP Image Awards. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages. He has published fiction and nonfiction in The New Yorker\, Playboy\, and The Nation. As an executive producer\, he adapted his novel The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey for AppleTV+. He co-wrote the adaptation of his novel The Man in My Basement to stream on Hulu\, and he served as a writer and executive producer for FX’s Snowfall. He divides his time between Brooklyn and Santa Monica. \nGary Phillips has published novels\, comics\, novellas\, short stories and edited or co-edited several anthologies\, including the Anthony-winning The Obama Inheritance: Fifteen Stories of Conspiracy Noir. Almost thirty years after its publication\, his debut\, Violent Spring\, was named one of the essential crime novels of Los Angeles. He was also a writer and co-producer on Snowfall\, a show streaming on Hulu about crack and the CIA in 1980s South Central\, where he grew up. \nAbout Gray Dawn: \nIn this thrilling mystery from “master of craft and narrative” Walter Mosley (National Book Foundation)\, Detective Easy Rawlins has settled into the happy rhythm of his new life when a dark siren from his past returns and threatens to destroy the peace he’s fought for. \nThe name Easy Rawlins stirs excitement in the hearts of readers and fear in the hearts of his foes. His success has bought him a thriving detective agency\, with its first female detective; a remote home\, shared with children and pets and lovers\, high atop the hills overlooking gritty Los Angeles; and more trouble\, more problems\, and more threat to those whom he loves. In other words\, he’s still beset on all sides. \nA number of below-the-law powerbrokers plead with Easy to locate a mysterious\, dangerous woman—Lutisha James\, though she’s gone by another name that Easy will immediately recognize. 1970s Los Angeles is a transient city of delicate\, violent balances\, and Lutisha has disturbed that. She also has a secret that will upend Easy’s own life\, painfully closer to home.

SUMMARY:Helix Collective: L.A. Stories
DESCRIPTION:L.A. Stories brings together local poets\, writers\, composers\, and musicians to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Los Angeles. This music and storytelling show from Helix Collective creates vignettes within the city about surviving and thriving in L.A. We all share this city but it looks different from every vantage point. \nHelix Collective’s musicians including flutist Sarah Robinson\, oboist Phil Popham\, pianist Kathryn Eames\, and percussionist Tyler Stell narrate and perform this set of musical stories. These include poetry and stories from local authors as well as a collection of letters from the early 20th Century Los Angeles. These are set to music by composers writing original music for the project. \nThis performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment. \nFree parking is available in the city lots adjacent to the museum. \nPROGRAM \nAn Angel’s Account – composer Jamie Thierman\nThe Leap – composer Mark Carlson\, poet Larry Colker\nTo Live in Los Angeles – composer and author Dale Trumbore\nThe Reverse Swayze – composer Gene Micofsky\, author John Grady\nThe Spinning Hourglass – composer Phil Popham\, poet Ashley Veterre\nIn That Other Fantasy Where We Live Forever – composer Phil Popham\, author Wanda Coleman \nABOUT HELIX COLLECTIVE\nHelix Collective are classical musicians busting out of the traditional mold. From crossover dance music\, to storytelling\, to film\, television\, and video game music\, the Los Angeles-based ensemble takes the best of classical chamber music and makes it the life of the party. \nVariety Magazine praised Helix Collective’s musical range moving from “moody urgency and edgy chamber-music sound” to the “sweetly romantic evoking wide-open spaces.”\nHelix “has a little something for everyone: those who like their classics straight up\, with a contemporary edge to it\, or with populist appeal.” Called “dizzyingly virtuosic with exquisite musicianship and world-class range” by The Free Times and praised for “beyond-the-ordinary programming.” \nLike the double helix\, the ensemble is rearrangeable\, flexible\, and fuses the DNA of classical music into worlds where it’s never gone before. www.helixcollective.org \nTHE CREATION OF L.A.

SUMMARY:S.U.T@LA – Vipassana Meditation Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Our practice is inspired by the teachings of Sayadaw U Tejaniya (S.U.T)\, which invite us to bring wise awareness into every part of life. Mindfulness isn’t just for the cushion — it’s for the small\, ordinary moments that make up our days. \nSome weeks\, we’ll sit together in silence at the Wende Museum. Other times\, practice might take us outdoors for a gentle hike\, to a public event\, on a mindful shopping trip\, or even online via Zoom. Wherever we are\, the essence of practice remains the same: staying present\, open\, and kind. \nThis new L.A.-based sangha is rooted in curiosity\, ease\, and Dharma friendship. Together\, we’ll explore how to live with awareness and discover what unfolds when we meet life just as it is. We warmly invite you to join us — to sit\, to walk\, to laugh\, and to grow together on this path of practice. \nThese teachings are offered on a donation basis. Everyone is welcome. \nWe hope to see you soon.

SUMMARY:CONTRA-TIEMPO: Roots of Loving Us - A Ritual Procession
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of beautiful things – live art\, music\, dance\, and a sneak peek into a brand new work. \nThis gathering is more than performance – it is a ritual of transformation. Together\, we will honor the sacred act of turning what has been discarded into what is beloved. Through a ritual procession of formerly given-away clothes and items\, we celebrate the way one person’s orphaned belongings can become another’s chosen treasure. This is a practice of reimagining family\, of weaving new kinship through care\, creativity\, and collective imagination. \nAs choreographer holly johnston describes: \n“Our collaboration is an adoption process where we are joining together Responsive Body and CONTRA-TIEMPO to expand the family of artistic work. Beyond merely doing things side by side\, we are committing to mutual care\, support\, and the ongoing development of one another’s artistic lives.” \nThe Flow of the Night\n✨ 6:30 PM – Doors Open (with music + community vibes) \n✨ 7:15 PM – Ritual Procession & Fashion Show \n✨ 7:30 PM – Performance (work-in-progress sharing) \n✨ 8:00–9:00 PM – Dance Jam Reception + Mini Sabor Session \n🍷 Wine (rosé & white) will be served \nThis is a community sharing of work in progress and radical joy through movement. Come ready to witness\, move\, and celebrate with us. \nWhy Come?\nExperience a collaborative work-in-progress unlike anything else in LA.\nWitness how discarded things become sacred treasures through art.\nBe part of a ritual of belonging\, adoption\, and transformation.\nDance\, sip rosé\, and jam with community.
