SUMMARY:Sandhi\, A Traditional Kathak Solo by Rukhmani Mehta
DESCRIPTION:Experience Sandhi\, a traditional Kathak solo by celebrated choreographer and performer Rukhmani Mehta along with acclaimed musical artists Jayanta Banerjee on sitar and Salar Nader on tabla. \nDrawing inspiration from the Sanskrit concept of sandhi — which describes a meeting point where opposing energies intertwine and boundaries blur – Mehta explores how the traditional kathak solo is itself such a meeting point. \nThe performance invites audiences into the dualities that give kathak dance its vitality- tradition\, history and the present moment; the multiplicity of human expression and divine oneness; the collective story of a people and the individual voice of an artist. \nIn Sandhi\, artist and audience go on a shared journey of dance\, music\, rhythm and storytelling\, exploring the liminal spaces where dualities converge and give way to transformation and transcendence.

SUMMARY:S.U.T@LA – Vipassana Meditation Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Our 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.

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:An Evening with Azazello: Notes from the Zone of Kaif
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening celebrating Azazello (Anatoly Kalabin)\, whose remarkable archive was bequeathed to the Wende Museum in 2016. Emerging from the depths of the Soviet underground\, this archive offers a rare glimpse into a hidden world of hippies\, nonconformist artists\, and other self-declared misfits who sought freedom\, beauty\, and meaning under repression. \nThe program marks the launch of the digital Azazello Archive and features a conversation with Sasha Razor and curatorial team members Anna Fishzon\, Juliane Fürst\, and Margarit Ordukhanyan\, exploring the life and legacy of Azazello and what it meant to be a nonconformist in an authoritarian space. The evening will include readings of Azazello’s poetry and a selection of his favorite music\, along with Soviet-inspired snacks and drinks.

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:The Emergency: George Packer in Conversation with Ben Rhodes
DESCRIPTION:Join acclaimed author and journalist George Packer in conversation with writer\, commentator\, and former presidential speechwriter Ben Rhodes for an evening exploring politics\, literature\, and the moral imagination in times of crisis. \nPacker’s new novel The Emergency (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux\, 2025) turns from his prizewinning nonfiction to fiction\, imagining an empire undone not by conquest but by exhaustion and loss of faith in itself. The story’s fractured world asks what remains when the social fabric unravels and what we owe one another when institutions fail. \nRhodes\, author of After the Fall: Being American in the World We’ve Made and The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House\, joins Packer to discuss the novel’s themes and their resonance in today’s global politics: the erosion of democratic trust\, the struggle for meaning\, and the search for solidarity across generations and borders. \nBooks will be available for purchase from Village Well Bookstore. Reception and signing to follow. \nGeorge Packer is an award-winning author and a staff writer at The Atlantic. He has written many books\, including The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America (winner of the National Book Award) and\, most recently\, Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal. He is also the author of two previous novels and a play\, and is the editor of a two-volume edition of the essays of George Orwell. \nBen Rhodes is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times\, co-host of Pod Save the World\, a contributor to MSNBC\, and the author of two New York Times bestsellers: After the Fall: The Rise of Authoritarianism in the World We Made and The World As It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House. From 2009 to 2017\, he was a Deputy National Security Advisor and speechwriter to President Barack Obama\, participating in all of President Obama’s key decisions on foreign policy. His work has also been published in The New York Review of Books\, The Atlantic\, and Foreign Affairs. \nMade possible through the extraordinary generosity of Meyer and Renee Luskin. \n \n

SUMMARY:Mr. Nobody Against Putin: Screening and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of Mr. Nobody Against Putin\, the Sundance-winning documentary that exposes how the Russian state reshapes childhood and citizenship through the classroom. \nAs Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Ukraine\, schools across the country become recruitment sites for the war. In a remote mining town\, a primary school teacher is tasked with filming “patriotic education” sessions meant to instill loyalty to the war. Instead\, he turns the camera toward the indoctrination of students\, capturing the pressure to conform and the quiet acts of dissent that survive inside the system. Shot undercover at great personal risk\, the film offers an unfiltered look at how propaganda operates on the most intimate level: the education of children. \nBefore the screening begins\, guests are invited to join a complimentary garden reception.

SUMMARY:9th Circuit Cowboy: Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Actions Speak Louder Inc. and the Wende Museum present a showing of a film about a man of integrity\, a lesson we all need. \n9th Circuit Cowboy: The Long Good Fight of Judge Harry Pregerson is the story of Judge Harry Pregerson who\, for almost half a century\, served on California’s famously liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and was known for placing his personal scruples over what he discounted as abstract legalities. “I looked upon being a judge\,” he said\, “as a chance to help as many people as I could through the law.” Growing up during the Depression in diverse East Los Angeles\, Harry enlisted in the Marines in World War II and served in the Pacific. In the bloody Battle for Okinawa\, he received a field commission to lieutenant after suffering severe gun shot wounds to his legs. After the war\, he went on to become a lawyer\, a district court judge and ultimately one of the most admired\, and sometimes scorned\, appellate judges in the United States: a champion for veterans\, the homeless\, the poor and the powerless. \nAfter a seated viewing of the documentary film\, Oscar winning director Terry Sanders\, Judge Dean Pregerson\, and Actions speak Louder Inc\, founder Bob Zaugh will conduct a Q&A.

SUMMARY:Benn Clatworthy's System 6
DESCRIPTION:“System 6 is an adventurous contemporary ensemble whose music will appeal to lovers of the free jazz movement of the ’60s… their experience together is evident: not only are these musicians fluent improvisers\, but the ensemble playing is sturdy\, powerfully cohesive. Clatworthy on tenor\, Stout on trumpet\, and Sellars on trombone make for a very potent jazz sound.” (Brooks Geiken\, theartsfuse). \nBorn in England 1955\, Benn Clatworthy grew up in London. Active in the London music scene during the 1970’s\, he moved to Los Angeles in 1980 where he studied Saxophone\, Flute\, and Clarinet with Phil Sobel. In the late 80’s he was recommended for Horace Silver’s band\, and Horace in turn recommended Benn to discovery records\, resulting in his first CD release as a leader: “Thanks Horace”. \nIn addition to his work as a solo artist\, Benn leads a quartet as well as the band System 6. He has appeared on many albums over the span of a 43 year career. \nClatworthy has performed with The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra\, Billy Higgins\, Cab Calloway\, Donald “Duck” Bailey\, The Temptations\, Cedar Walton\, and many others. \nRon Stout–trpt\nBenn Clatworthy–saxophones\nJoey Sellers-trombone\nBryan Velasco–piano\nDavid Reynoso–bass\nYayo Morales–drums

SUMMARY:Samizdat Sundays and Other Subversions
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: \nSun\, Dec 7 | Mail Art: Postcards \nCreate postcard collages that can be mailed or not. Explore the long tradition of mail as art beginning with Ray Johnson. Postcards can be fabric or multi part pieces. Suggested sizes include five by seven inches or four by six inches. Leave space for an address and stamp. \nSun\, Dec 14 | Mail Art: Folding Cards \nMake folded mail art. This can be a simple folded card\, a collage envelope\, or a folded form that fits a standard envelope. Envelopes may be sewn\, stapled\, pinned\, or altered. Consider the experience of opening the work. \nSun\, Dec 21 | Mail Art:Push the Limits \nMake nonsensical mail art inspired by the idea that anything can be mailed with postage. \nBonus | Mail Art: Letter to the Future or the Past \nDo this on your own or with friends. Create a letter to 2026 or to 2025 using collage\, fabric\, images\, words\, or objects. Mail it\, keep it\, bury it\, or destroy it. \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.
