SUMMARY:Dragonfly Eyes: A Film by Xu Bing
DESCRIPTION:What do surveillance cameras really see\, and what do we see when we watch their footage? \nJoin us for a rare screening of Dragonfly Eyes (2017)\, the groundbreaking debut feature by acclaimed artist Xu Bing. Using only publicly available surveillance footage from China\, where 700 million cameras silently record daily life\, Xu pieces together an unsettling and poetic narrative about a woman leaving a Buddhist temple to find her place in modern society. \nThe result blurs the line between fact and fiction\, ordinary and extraordinary\, asking us to reconsider the nature of truth and knowledge in an age of constant observation. \nOur Counter/Surveillance exhibition offers only a glimpse of the making of this work. This screening is a rare chance to experience the full film\, and to reflect on how images\, stripped of context\, shape what we think we know.

SUMMARY:Exploring Critical Media Literacy and the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:In this session we will explore the role of media in shaping our ideas and policies related to the environment and the climate crisis. From climate disinformation to corporate greenwashing and from Indigenous rights to global youth activism\, media are promoting positive and negative messages about the natural world and the environmental challenges. During this interactive workshop we will discuss how different worldviews have influenced our relationships with nature from the past and into the present. We will also address the importance of biophilia (the love of nature) as it relates to the global legal movement for the Rights of Nature and engage in an activity of media production. \nDue to the interactive nature of this workshop\, it is not recommended for ages 13 or below. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot. It will open approximately 30 minutes before the program begins.

SUMMARY:Tea Dances at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center
DESCRIPTION:Move\, mingle\, and unwind through the joyful rhythm of social dance.\n\n\nThe 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. \nSchedule: \nSunday\, August 3\, 3-6 pm\, LA Swing Dance Posse with Beach Cities Swing Band \nLA Swing Dance Posse with Beach Cities Swing Band (LASDP) is a non profit organization formed to honor contributions African Americans have made to vernacular jazz dance through performance and education. They teach the history of those styles\, ranging from the 1800’s to the present. This gives them the opportunity to fill in knowledge gaps of Swing dance history\, a history that has deep roots in Black culture. Their mission is to educate\, preserve\, promote\, teach and perform the vernacular jazz dances such as Savoy Swing\, Charleston\, and Lindy Hop dance. \nThe Beach Cities Swing Band (BCSB)\, founded in 2000 by members of the El Segundo Concert Band\, is a 17-piece big band with featured vocalists\, performing classics made famous by Count Basie\, Glenn Miller\, Duke Ellington\, Benny Goodman\, Ella Fitzgerald\, and Artie Shaw\, as well as modern swing arrangements and fresh takes on beloved tunes. Now operating under the South Bay Music Association\, the BCSB is dedicated to keeping the big band tradition alive and thriving. True to its name\, the band has performed throughout the South Bay’s beach cities—including Manhattan Beach\, Hermosa Beach\, Redondo Beach\, Torrance\, Palos Verdes Estates\, Long Beach\, Marina Del Rey\, Los Angeles\, and its home base of El Segundo. \nSunday\, August 17\, 3-6 pm\, Oxygen Tango \nDiscover the global language of tango in this one-hour beginner class led by Oxygen Tango\, a beloved LA-based school known for its welcoming\, connection-driven approach. You’ll learn the essentials of this improvised social dance and be ready to join the informal practica that follows—no partner needed. Just bring comfortable clothes\, shoes you can walk backward in\, and a spirit of curiosity. \nSunday\, August 31\, 3-6 pm\, Groove and Step

Day Two focus’s on non-combustible incense that’s meant to be warmed\, not burned. On the second day\, in conjunction with another colorful slideshow\, you’ll learn how to warm incense as a ritual\, about ancient incense tools and accruements\, and then at the latter part of the day\, you’ll create non-combustible incense pastilles. \nINCLUDED: \nMeet a variety of raw herbs and materials used for incense making. \nA rich visual slide show highlighting herbs\, incense accruements\, and incense history\, \nLearn about where the materials came from and their importance in myth\, commerce\, and culture. \nLearn about incense history as medicine\, in sacred offerings\, religion\, and aesthetics. \nLearn how to process herbs and resins\, create incense recipes\, and the importance of order when making your own recipes. \nLearn about different types of incense\, including incense that’s heated\, not burned. \nCraft your own botanical incense using herbs\, woods\, resins and spices from around the world. \nAll Materials and Tools included. \nMATERIALS COST: $45 \nDue to generous funding\, the Wende Museum and Persephenie are able to offer the two day incense course with only a materials fee. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays and Other Subversions
DESCRIPTION:Every Sunday in August\, 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. \nAugust 3: Secret Messages on Any Textile – learn techniques to hide words and symbols in fabric. \nAugust 10: Tee Bag – transform and repurpose a T‑shirt into a bag. \nAugust 17: Visible Repair / Bellbottoms for the Adventurous – celebrate mending as art\, or reimagine old jeans with bold new flares. \nAugust 24: Secret Messages\, Part 2 – return to textile secrecy with new methods and layers. \nAugust 31: Communal Project: A Textile Exquisite Corpse – contribute to a collective\, evolving piece stitched together from everyone’s hands and ideas. \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. \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.
