SUMMARY:RECEPTION: IHC Platform Gallery Exhibition Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Originating from the French word plateforme\, meaning ‘ground plan’ or ‘flat shape’\, the Platform Gallery is a public exhibition space at the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, UCSB\, that features the work of emerging artists displayed as two-dimensional printed media. The complete Platform exhibition archive is available online. \nThe 2017–18 Platform exhibition engages with the IHC’s public events series theme\, Crossings + Boundaries\, which considers diverse experiences and phenomena of boundary crossing—institutional\, political\, cultural\, artistic\, gendered\, psychological\, and more.  The artwork displayed in the Platform exhibition gallery brings the IHC’s academic and community guests into dialogue with Crossings + Boundaries in creative ways. \nJoin us as we celebrate the opening of the IHC Platform Gallery Exhibition\, which features artists Alexis Crashaw\, Maya T. Garabedian\, Brent Gibbs\, Lucy Holtsnider\, Elisa Ortega Montilla\, Sunny Samuel\, Natasha Sarkar\, and F. Myles Sciotto.

SUMMARY:INAUGURAL PANEL: Interdisciplinary Crossings + Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:In this inaugural event for the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries public events series\, four UCSB faculty members will discuss their varied experiences as interdisciplinary scholars\, followed by a reception. \n  \nBeth DePalma Digeser (History\, UCSB) studies the intersection of religion and philosophy with Roman politics\, as well as the procession of “conversion” in Late Antiquity. Her latest book\, A Threat to Public Piety: Christians\, Platonists\, and the Great Persecution (Cornell 2012)\, explores the interactions of Platonist philosophers and Christian theologians in the period leading up to the Great Persecution of AD 303-11. Her new research explores the questions surrounding the emperor Constantine’s move to become sole emperor. Why was his grasp of the West and the Balkans stable enough to allow him to move east (even though the Gallic empire had been a breakaway regime)? To what extent can the material culture of Gallia Belgica help scholars understand how people there might have responded to Constantine’s self-presentation? Increasingly in her research\, she is interested in exploring the relevance of theories of identity formation and cultural entanglement first used by historians to study the southwest US borderlands. \n  \nLaila Shereen Sakr (Film and Media Studies\, UCSB) is Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies and Faculty Affiliate in the Feminist Studies Department at University of California\, Santa Barbara. At UCSB\, she has co-founded Wireframe\, a new digital media studio that supports critical game design\, data visualization\, VR/augmented realities\, digital arts and activism. She is known as the creator of the cyborg\, VJ Um Amel\, and the R-Shief software system. Her areas of research include Media Theory/Practice\, Algorithmic Culture\, Cyber-Feminism\, Middle East Studies\, Global Human Rights\, Interactive Media Design\, and Glitch Art. \n  \nJeremy White (History of Art and Architecture\, UCSB) is an architect\, architectural historian\, and game designer. After earning his B. Arch from the University of Arizona he worked for a variety of firms in the San Francisco Bay Area\, securing his architecture license. A persistent and growing interest in history drew Jeremy back to school\, earning his Ph.D. in architecture history from Berkeley. He has been teaching in the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at UCSB for ten years\, and for nearly as long\, taught history and then art history seminars in the MFA program at the Brooks Institute of Photography. His architecture training and the experience he gained as an architect informs the approach he takes to teaching about the built environment\, its history\, and the way space shapes everyday life. His interests in history\, art\, and design also propelled him into game design\, a field that has offered Jeremy opportunities to bring architectural concepts\, art\, and historical subjects together in unexpected ways. As President of the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara\, Jeremy has also endeavored to take education about art and the built environment beyond the college campus\, using history\, art\, and the game as persuasive vehicles for public engagement. \n  \nBrandon Whited (Theater and Dance\, UCSB) is an Assistant Professor of Dance in the Department of Theater & Dance\, with a focus on creative/choreographic research\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, and men’s/masculinities studies in relation to dance. Mr. Whited’s newest work in progress—tentatively titled Boys Like Us—is a duet exploration for two LA-based professional dancers.  Utilizing discussion and informal interview\, the work draws from personal experience\, and that of the dancers\, in order to delve into the often lonely process of ‘coming out’ as a gay adolescent male.

SUMMARY:Talk: Interstellar Crossings: The Image of Exoplanets and the Imagination of Other Worlds
DESCRIPTION:When seven rocky planets were discovered around the star TRAPPIST-1\, claims of potentially habitable worlds animated the scientific discourse and press coverage. Beautiful animations of the surfaces of these planets and imaginative tales of planet hopping suggested that this discovery was not just about discovering more planets\, but that it was also about discovering worlds. In this talk\, Messeri will recount ethnographic findings from her work with exoplanet astronomers. She will explore how planets become worlds and what resources scientists draw on to execute this conceptual crossing and imaginatively leave the boundary of our world to extend human presence beyond the solar system. \nBefore joining the Anthropology department at Yale earlier this year\, Lisa Messeri taught at the University of Virginia and the University of Pennsylvania. Her published work includes Placing Outer Space: An Earthly Ethnography of Other Worlds (2016)\, which traces how the place-making practices of planetary scientists transform the void of space into a cosmos filled with worlds that can be known and explored.\n \nSponsored by the Idee Levitan IHC Endowment and the IHC’s Crossings + Boundaries series.\nImage Courtesy: NASA/JPL-Caltech
