SUMMARY:Street Art Narratives: Community\, Demonstration\, and Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:This mini-symposium takes up the intersection of art-power-politics — from Los Angeles to Eastern Europe\, with a focus on Ukraine. Artists and scholars from these regions\, all greatly-affected by authoritarian-leaning governments and war-mongers\, come together to discuss how the ‘street’ responds to external pressure by calling for resistance\, humor\, beauty\, satire\, parody\, pride\, and direct action. Six speakers give brief presentations from their fields of study and practice\, followed by two panels on graffiti/street art culture and the documentation of these ephemera for history — with Sven Spieker\, Shasha Razor\, Anatoli Ulyanov\, Mitja Velikonja\, Mario Ybarra Jr.\, and Rabi Towing. Reception in the garden following the symposium. Presented by DoppelHouse Press\, Artillery\, and Art Margins at the Wende Museum’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center.

SUMMARY:Tea Dances at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center
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.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindful Meditations with Christiane Wolf
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 garden of the Wende Museum. \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. \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 \nand 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.

Fifty years later\, her brother Wolfgang Andreae visits Deena Metzger\, who was Ina’s teacher\, to ask Deena what she knew. What followed from that alliance is this novella\, a fiction that is not a fiction\, an unfolding emergence of facts\, events and stories\, showing us how wounds going back to Hitler still affect us\, and their startling resemblance to the grim political dramas of today.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindful Meditations with Christiane Wolf
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 garden of the Wende Museum. \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. \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 \nand 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.

SUMMARY:The Bumdog School of Film
DESCRIPTION:Led by underground photographer and filmmaker Bumdog Torres\, this five-session workshop at the Wende Museum invites participants to learn the essentials of DIY filmmaking using just a smartphone – no crew\, no budget\, just pure creative grit. \nWith lessons grounded in Bumdog’s own journey of making a feature film while unhoused on the streets of Los Angeles\, the purpose of these classes will not be just to teach film grammar. But to learn the great value of the experience of making a movie. The personal growth and adventure of pure creation. And the importance of knowing afterward that you made your mark on the world… even if it’s just a stain. \nIf you’re ready to dive into the full five-session adventure\, email Michael Balot-Garza at education@wendemuseum.org and share a few sentences about why you’re interested. Space is limited\, and\, by signing up\, you’re committing to attend all five sessions. Participants are recommended to be ages 18 and up and must have a smartphone with video capability. \n#1: Editing and transitions. Cinematic composition. Juxtaposition of Sound. “Recreate Your Day”. September 20th\, 9am – 5pm \n#2: “Stories for Movies” September 27th\, 1pm – 5pm \n#3: “Storytelling for Movies” October 11th\, 1pm – 5pm \n#4: “Mastery” October 25th\, 1pm – 5pm \n#5: “Gestalt” and “Make your own damn movie” November 8th\, 9am – 5pm \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd.
