SUMMARY:Bauhaus | Repetition\, Reordering\, and Rearrangement
DESCRIPTION:Designer and Black Mountain College scholar Michael Beggs leads a workshop exploring rearrangements\, a family of collage and material exercises which Josef Albers developed at the Bauhaus and both broadened and refined at Black Mountain College. Participants will sample a few different rearrangement and reordering approaches\, see examples from Albers’s classes\, and explore the larger constellation of works using this technique by a variety of artists from the Bauhaus to the present day. \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: Michael Beggs is a designer\, scholar\, and multidisciplinary artist. An expert on Black Mountain College\, Beggs was formerly on the curatorial staff at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and has written extensively about both Alberses\, the Bauhaus\, and Black Mountain College.

Thomson\, which served as the catalogue to an exhibition of the same name at the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center in Asheville\, NC. He works as a designer at Johnston Marklee\, an LA-based architecture firm. \nAs the museum will be closed during this program\, please enter through the garden side gate\, which will open 30 minutes before the start time.

SUMMARY:Same Player Shoots Again: A Biography of the Pinball Machine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Andreas Bernard\, author of Same Player Shoots Again: A Biography of the Pinball Machine. \nOnce a fixture of bars\, arcades\, and public life\, the pinball machine flourished from the 1960s through the 1990s before quietly disappearing. Bernard uses pinball as a lens on much larger shifts. The erosion of public leisure. The collapse of clear boundaries between work and play. The rise of screen-based distraction and the thinning of social critique. \nPart memoir\, part cultural history\, the book moves from specific machines to broader questions about how we spend time\, how we gather\, and what has been lost as games migrate from shared physical spaces to private screens. \nThe program will include remarks by the author\, brief readings\, and audience Q&A. A complimentary reception will follow in the garden. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.

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. \nSCHEDULE \n“HAND” BOOK MADE OF CLOTH \nMarch 8\, 2026 \nInspired by the beautiful “handbook” by artist Ruth Katzenstein Souza currently on view at Art Division in MacArthur Park\, we will make a cloth “book” that is illustrated with embroidery\, drawing\, embellishments\, collage\, etc. Perhaps your “book” is a handkerchief that reveals its story when it is unfolded; or perhaps yours will be more of a scroll than a book\, one that unfurls\, or perhaps yours will unravel as it is read. Join us! \nSee images of Katzenstein Souza’s book on her website: \nhttps://www.ruthkatzensteinsouza.com/handbook \nACCORDION BOOK \nMarch 15\, 2026 \nModeled after the pilgrimage temple and shrine stamp books of Japan (called goshuin)\, we will make simple accordion books that can be embellished on the outside and the inside with collage\, writing\, cloth\, etc. Working with our abundant stash of discarded materials\, we will make accordion books of various sizes and for various purposes. Will your accordion book be for recording a spiritual pilgrimage? Or perhaps to hold your favorite recipes\, or your favorite poems? Perhaps your accordion book will be an unfolding love letter\, to another person or the squirrel who lives in your favorite tree. \nPATCHES! \nMarch 22\, 2026 \nWe will begin our workshop with a visit to the Wende Museum archives to see the beautiful handmade patches in the Soviet Hippie collection. Using felt as our substrate\, we will embroider\, collage\, embellish\, and appliqué designs to make a patch to use to cover up a rip or tear\, or perhaps to communicate an idea or concept. \nFor an extra special weekend\, come to the museum on Saturday\, March 21 as well to enjoy the Soviet Hippie Archives Open House. You’ll come away inspired\, I’m certain of it! \nFINISH IT! CLINIC \nMarch 29\, 2026 \nToday we will finish up projects we’re working on\, whether they’re projects begun in Samizdat Sundays\, or other projects that have been lingering in your studio or drawer waiting to be finished. All of our materials will be available to you\, but you’re also invited to bring your own materials\, if your project requires them. If this is your first time coming to the workshop\, you are welcome to work on a past Samizdat Sunday project. Perhaps you’ll make a series of mail art collage postcards\, or perhaps you’ll sew a secret pocket or message into your favorite shirt. Let’s finish (or begin!) things together in the beautiful classroom at the Wende. \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:Two-Piano Concert with Vivian Fan and Eloise Kim
DESCRIPTION:Pianists Vivian Fan and Eloise Kim present an evening of music for two pianos that moves from cosmic intensity to lyrical intimacy to Latin American rhythm. The program opens with Holst’s Mars\, the Bringer of War from The Planets\, followed by Arvo Pärt’s meditative Hymn to a Great City and Chopin’s virtuosic Rondo in C Major. \nAfter intermission\, Debussy’s En bateau from Petite Suite evokes the gentle motion of water\, leading into the warmth and folk-inspired lyricism of Guastavino’s Tres Romances and Bailecito. The concert concludes with Piazzolla’s Adiós Nonino\, a powerful tango elegy that transforms personal grief into a universal expression of remembrance. \nThe program will be followed by a complimentary reception. \nVivian Fan is Director of Collaborative Piano at the Colburn Conservatory. An accomplished chamber musician and recording artist\, she has performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall and collaborated with leading instrumentalists worldwide\, with appearances broadcast on major television and radio programs. \nEloise Kim is a faculty member at the Colburn Conservatory and an active soloist and collaborative pianist.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether 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 Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class. \nWhat is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends\, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices\, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better\, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful. \nWe practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor\, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind\, challenging emotions\, and even physical pain. We can access peace\, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:Bauhaus | The Shape-Shifting Forms of the Miura Pattern
DESCRIPTION:Learn to fold the Miura pattern and its various forms with artist Jeff Morrical. The pattern forms the basis of much of the artist’s sculptural work and within a few variations and combinations on the theme can create a wide variety of results.  Attendees will first be walked through tutorials on the pattern and can then combine and apply what they have learned in their own creative process to create a finished sculpture of their own. \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: The work of LA-based artist Jeff Morrical incorporates single-sheet paper sculptures shaped by folds and gravity. From many years working in the world of architecture\, finding form\, structure and pattern in everyday materials has always been a driving force in his work. While his artwork generally falls into the world of sculpture\, the pieces can become canvas\, costuming and props for movement and performance\, toys for play\, screens for projection – abundant possibilities in one of the world’s most ubiquitous and humble materials. He’s now on a mission to unlock the geometric properties latent in every sheet of material\, one fold at a time.

SUMMARY:The Eyes of Ghana: Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:From two-time Academy Award–winning director Ben Proudfoot\, The Eyes of Ghana (2025) follows 93-year-old filmmaker Chris Hesse\, the personal cinematographer to Ghana’s first president\, Kwame Nkrumah. As his eyesight fades\, Hesse races to preserve and repatriate a hidden archive of more than 1\,000 films documenting the birth of African independence in the 1950s and 1960s. Long unseen by the public\, these images have the potential to reshape the historical record of Ghana\, the African continent\, and the global story of decolonization. \nExecutive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama\, the film is both a portrait of a life’s work and a meditation on archives\, memory\, and the urgent task of safeguarding endangered historical materials. \nThe screening will be followed by a conversation and audience Q&A with members of the filmmaking team. \nNana Adwoa Frimpong\, Producer\, is Vice President of Partnerships and Impact at Breakwater Studios\, where she develops strategies that connect documentary storytelling to public engagement and social impact. The Eyes of Ghana\, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival\, is her first feature documentary. \nGabriel Rivera\, Archival Producer\, is an Emmy Award–winning researcher whose work for Netflix\, HBO Max\, and Amazon Prime Video focuses on uncovering rare and historically significant materials that bring overlooked stories to light. \nSeating is first come\, first served. RSVP does not guarantee entry. Late entry is not permitted once the program begins. \nPresented in partnership with Breakwater Studios and Higher Ground.

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. \nSCHEDULE \n“HAND” BOOK MADE OF CLOTH \nMarch 8\, 2026 \nInspired by the beautiful “handbook” by artist Ruth Katzenstein Souza currently on view at Art Division in MacArthur Park\, we will make a cloth “book” that is illustrated with embroidery\, drawing\, embellishments\, collage\, etc. Perhaps your “book” is a handkerchief that reveals its story when it is unfolded; or perhaps yours will be more of a scroll than a book\, one that unfurls\, or perhaps yours will unravel as it is read. Join us! \nSee images of Katzenstein Souza’s book on her website: \nhttps://www.ruthkatzensteinsouza.com/handbook \nACCORDION BOOK \nMarch 15\, 2026 \nModeled after the pilgrimage temple and shrine stamp books of Japan (called goshuin)\, we will make simple accordion books that can be embellished on the outside and the inside with collage\, writing\, cloth\, etc. Working with our abundant stash of discarded materials\, we will make accordion books of various sizes and for various purposes. Will your accordion book be for recording a spiritual pilgrimage? Or perhaps to hold your favorite recipes\, or your favorite poems? Perhaps your accordion book will be an unfolding love letter\, to another person or the squirrel who lives in your favorite tree. \nPATCHES! \nMarch 22\, 2026 \nWe will begin our workshop with a visit to the Wende Museum archives to see the beautiful handmade patches in the Soviet Hippie collection. Using felt as our substrate\, we will embroider\, collage\, embellish\, and appliqué designs to make a patch to use to cover up a rip or tear\, or perhaps to communicate an idea or concept. \nFor an extra special weekend\, come to the museum on Saturday\, March 21 as well to enjoy the Soviet Hippie Archives Open House. You’ll come away inspired\, I’m certain of it! \nFINISH IT! CLINIC \nMarch 29\, 2026 \nToday we will finish up projects we’re working on\, whether they’re projects begun in Samizdat Sundays\, or other projects that have been lingering in your studio or drawer waiting to be finished. All of our materials will be available to you\, but you’re also invited to bring your own materials\, if your project requires them. If this is your first time coming to the workshop\, you are welcome to work on a past Samizdat Sunday project. Perhaps you’ll make a series of mail art collage postcards\, or perhaps you’ll sew a secret pocket or message into your favorite shirt. Let’s finish (or begin!) things together in the beautiful classroom at the Wende. \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:S.U.T@LA – Vipassana Meditation Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Practice Isn’t Just on the Cushion — It’s Wherever Life Takes Us \nOur 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. \nPlease note we are holding Q&A session from 5PM. Q&A sessions are for continuing students only. Please contact me if you are interested in joining.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether 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 Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class. \nWhat is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends\, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices\, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better\, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful. \nWe practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor\, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind\, challenging emotions\, and even physical pain. We can access peace\, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:Bauhaus | RAW! CLAY! : Exploring Unfired Clay as a Sculptural Medium
DESCRIPTION:Clay is beloved for its messy\, joyous immediacy\, and\, of course\, for the reward of watching an item transform through firing from clay to ceramic. But many artists work with unfired clay as a way to embrace the material’s fragility and to explore its symbolic associations with fragility\, ephemerality and transformation. \nIn this workshop\, participants will honor the Bauhaus spirit of learning by doing and embrace the material possibilities and limitations of unfired clay as a sculptural material in its own right. They will look at some examples of artists — historic and contemporary — who work with unfired clay\, and they will go over some simple handbuilding techniques to get everyone up and running. Some alternative methods of construction and finishing the pieces will be introduced as an option for participants to explore. \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: Hallie McNeill is an artist and writer currently based in Los Angeles. She received an MFA from the Department of Sculpture and Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her work examines how desire and aspiration inform our relationships with language and material culture\, particularly through acts of self-representation. Focusing on the fragility and arbitrariness of organizational systems\, she traces these dynamics both literally—through manufactured conveniences like containers and baskets—and symbolically—through language and other cultural codes. Her work has been exhibited in Los Angeles at Durden and Ray\, Human Resources\, Sow & Tailor\, and Flux Factory\, and at my pet ram in New York. Her writing has been published in BOMB Magazine and The Rib. She has taught at Pratt Institute\, Pomona College\, and Scripps College.

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. \nSCHEDULE \n“HAND” BOOK MADE OF CLOTH \nMarch 8\, 2026 \nInspired by the beautiful “handbook” by artist Ruth Katzenstein Souza currently on view at Art Division in MacArthur Park\, we will make a cloth “book” that is illustrated with embroidery\, drawing\, embellishments\, collage\, etc. Perhaps your “book” is a handkerchief that reveals its story when it is unfolded; or perhaps yours will be more of a scroll than a book\, one that unfurls\, or perhaps yours will unravel as it is read. Join us! \nSee images of Katzenstein Souza’s book on her website: \nhttps://www.ruthkatzensteinsouza.com/handbook \nACCORDION BOOK \nMarch 15\, 2026 \nModeled after the pilgrimage temple and shrine stamp books of Japan (called goshuin)\, we will make simple accordion books that can be embellished on the outside and the inside with collage\, writing\, cloth\, etc. Working with our abundant stash of discarded materials\, we will make accordion books of various sizes and for various purposes. Will your accordion book be for recording a spiritual pilgrimage? Or perhaps to hold your favorite recipes\, or your favorite poems? Perhaps your accordion book will be an unfolding love letter\, to another person or the squirrel who lives in your favorite tree. \nPATCHES! \nMarch 22\, 2026 \nWe will begin our workshop with a visit to the Wende Museum archives to see the beautiful handmade patches in the Soviet Hippie collection. Using felt as our substrate\, we will embroider\, collage\, embellish\, and appliqué designs to make a patch to use to cover up a rip or tear\, or perhaps to communicate an idea or concept. \nFor an extra special weekend\, come to the museum on Saturday\, March 21 as well to enjoy the Soviet Hippie Archives Open House. You’ll come away inspired\, I’m certain of it! \nFINISH IT! CLINIC \nMarch 29\, 2026 \nToday we will finish up projects we’re working on\, whether they’re projects begun in Samizdat Sundays\, or other projects that have been lingering in your studio or drawer waiting to be finished. All of our materials will be available to you\, but you’re also invited to bring your own materials\, if your project requires them. If this is your first time coming to the workshop\, you are welcome to work on a past Samizdat Sunday project. Perhaps you’ll make a series of mail art collage postcards\, or perhaps you’ll sew a secret pocket or message into your favorite shirt. Let’s finish (or begin!) things together in the beautiful classroom at the Wende. \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.
