SUMMARY:Nawruz (Spring) Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Wende Museum is pleased to partner with the Aga Khan Museum and The Ismaili Council for the Western United States in organizing a fun-filled day of activities for the entire family at this celebration. \nThe festival of Nawruz coincides with the vernal equinox\, on the 20th of March — when the sun crosses the equator and equalizes day and night. In the Persian calendar\, this event marks the New Year\, and Nawruz\, the 21st of March\, is the ‘new day’ that marks the beginning of Spring. It is a day to offer gratitude for the bounties of life and to express renewed hope and optimism for the future. \nNawruz is celebrated by over three hundred million people in the Balkans\, the Caucasus\, Central and South Asia\, and by Iranians worldwide. It signals the transition from a dull and grey winter to a vibrant and colorful spring\, a promise of new life and abundance. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the delicate intertwining of nature and humanity\, one that sustains us and needs to be preserved. \nActivities include live musical and dance performances\, calligraphy workshop\, tile painting\, henna painting\, planting seeds\, button making\, creating greeting cards\, poetry recitations\, children’s egg painting\, and Persian tea and refreshments.

SUMMARY:Wende Museum Spring 2026 Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Wende Museum presents the opening of its Spring 2026 exhibitions on Saturday\, April 25. \nExperience new work on view for the first time in the United States alongside a live performance which was subject of a recent censorship controversy. \nOpening:\nAnton Roland Laub: Mobile Churches in Ceaușescu’s Bucharest\nA photographic and archival study of churches lifted\, relocated\, and concealed under Romania’s socialist government\, exposing a largely unknown campaign of cultural erasure. \nIvana Dama: Breathing Alarms\nA guardhouse installation examining surveillance\, atmosphere\, and the politics of breath. \nContinuing:\nEnrique Martínez Celaya: The Sextant\nA large-scale installation that deals with memory\, exile\, and the inaccessibility of the past. \nSpecial performance premiere:\nElana Mann and Sharon Chohi Kim: Whirlwinds\, Tornadoes\, Basement\nA live work that emerges from a broader body of performance and sound-based practice focused on voice\, listening\, and collective expression. A related installation was recently removed by administrators at Pepperdine’s Weisman Museum after being deemed “political in nature\,” prompting artist withdrawals and the exhibition’s closure. Presented here in full\, the performance engages questions of speech\, silence\, and the conditions under which art is allowed to be heard. \nThe day unfolds across the museum campus with a curator-led tour\, opening remarks\, and a reception. \nSchedule\n10 a.m. to 5 p.m. | Exhibitions on view\n12 p.m. | Curator-led exhibition tour\n2 p.m. | Opening remarks and reception\n3 p.m. | Performance in the A-Frame Theater
