SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays
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. \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:Bauhaus | Soil Chromatography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the principles of Bauhaus\, this session explores soil chromatography as both a qualitative tool and a visual language. Soil chromatography is a method of analysis developed in the mid to late 20th century and still used by biodynamic farmers\, artists\, and researchers around the world. \nParticipants will learn how to process soil samples and transform them into striking circular chromatograms—visual compositions that reveal information about soil health and composition. This workshop bridges ecology and art\, encouraging you to see soil not just as material\, but as a medium. Although its scientific validity is being disputed\, the process of creating a chromatograph yields valuable information and connects us\, through direct experience\, with the ground beneath our feet. \nAll participants should be 18 years or older and are encouraged to bring their own soil samples for the activity. \nThis program is part of the Wende Bauhaus series\, in which local artists lead hands-on classes inspired by the Bauhaus school’s learning-by-doing philosophy and its spirit of experimentation\, play\, and discovery. \nAbout the teaching artist:\nAly Ogasian is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Her practice is research driven and typically site responsive\, sparking conversations about everyday life and survival in a rapidly changing environment. Recent projects critique notions of expedition in the 21st century and play with the idea of an island as a metaphor\, exploring notions of adaptation and survival\, community and individualism\, terrestrial and extraterrestrial\, nature and technology. She is an Assistant Professor of Art and Design at Scripps College and core faculty in Intercollegiate Media Studies at The Claremont Consortium. \nSeating is first come\, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.

SUMMARY:Tea Dances: Salsa with Mari Garcia and Los Calicubanos
DESCRIPTION:The Wende Museum’s Tea Dance series invites you to move\, mingle\, and unwind through the joyful rhythm of social dance. Hosted in the Glorya Kaufman Community Center\, each session features different dance traditions\, ranging from Argentine tango to vintage swing\, led by local artists and dance instructors. No experience or partner required. \nTea dances originated in early 20th-century Britain and America as daytime socials\, often held in hotels and ballrooms\, offering live music\, light refreshments\, and a welcoming space for community connection. Revived in the queer communities of mid-century America\, the tradition evolved into a vibrant celebration of expression and belonging. \nIn that spirit\, our Sunday Tea Dances offer a space to unplug\, connect\, and move together. These afternoons are for everyone: curious beginners\, practiced dancers\, and people just looking to enjoy good music and warm company. \nCome for the class\, stay for the social\, and rediscover the art of togetherness. \nFree and open to all. Comfortable shoes are encouraged. \nMay 17 Details\nTeacher: Mari Garcia \nMaria Garcia\, Chilean-born and Miami-raised\, is motivated by the stories of Latine people\, culture\, and communities. She first joined CONTRA-TIEMPO as a teaching artivist in 2021\, when she saw her own values of community\, love\, culture\, and boldness\, align. As an artist and teacher\, authenticity\, confidence\, freedom and connection are at the root of her being. Salsa and Bachata are dance forms in which Maria feels most free and liberated. Maria earned her BFA from the University of Florida\, where she was a Choreographer in Residence at the HARN museum. She then taught a salsa course at Los Angeles Valley College. \nBand: Los Calicubanos \nLos Calicubanos is a high-energy Afro-Cuban/Latin jazz/salsa ensemble from Los Angeles\, blending the rhythms of Cuba with the vibrant spirit of Southern California. Led by bassist Dr. Erim Kardes\, the seven-piece band delivers electrifying sets of original tunes and classic covers that ignite dance floors and captivate audiences. Erim discovered Cuban music while earning a Ph.D. in Engineering at USC\, where he also studied jazz bass under Weather Report’s Alphonso Johnson. This fusion of academic rigor and musical passion gives the band its edge—tight\, grooving\, and deeply authentic. Los Calicubanos is a staple of the SoCal Latin music scene and regularly collaborates with artists in Havana\, Cuba\, where they also record and perform. \nAs this event takes place during museum open hours\, guests may check in at the front of the museum. The garden side gate will open 30 minutes before the start time and is available for ADA access and check-in. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.
