Obviously I'm a words, woman.

And I'm looking forward to being able to participate in some of the exhibits. 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.000 And I'm always in support of Walter. 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000 And the activities. 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:06.000 Thanks, Tracy. 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.000 Hi! I'm will do. Say in the English Department, 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:19.000 When I read the title for this particular workshop. Everything about it. Interested me. I like to. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:27.000 Offer my students opportunities to engage with the campus and the the general community. You know various events going on. 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:38.000 I'm really interested in what Black Lunch Table Residency is, and to see what the students do. Since this is going to be a student curated show. So that's why I'm here. 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.000 Thanks will. 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.000 Thank you. 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:48.000 Hi! I'm Lee Pritchard, also from English, and also really interested in the idea of student curation. 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.000 And and seeing ways. I can connect my students. 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:57.000 Things going on, on campus. 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:02.000 This is Alex Vinay from the mathematics department. 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:07.000 Always curious how to connect to the other departments on campus. 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000 Especially art. Last year the. 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:15.000 Latika will matiko. Wilbur presentation was. 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.000 You know, inspiring in some ways, and push that forward. And then I've been hearing about the. 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:32.000 The black lunch table through various channels in this last year. So curious to learn more about that and see all right. Matt's in the house. 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:40.000 Hello, everyone! I'm Hannah Mock. I work in the epicenter, and I'm here because I want to know why I signed up here to support. 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.000 Great job, as you can see, and and. 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:50.000 I want to learn and learn more about this program, and if you don't mind, I think I can make it so. You don't have to sit here. 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.000 And we can look at the room. I just. 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.000 Realized. 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.000 Alright! That's it. 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.000 So the second. 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.000 And then if I click this one, it should auto track you. 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:10.000 So, Brianna, this is so. I'm now turn over to Brianna Simmons. 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:23.000 Full time faculty art historian, who's also involved with ready grants. 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.000 Okay is, is that distracting with the tracking? No. 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.000 The better if it's fixed. 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.000 There is that. 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.000 Yeah, I think it's yeah. Make people dizzy. Oh, but then I sit there right here, there you go. Okay, here. I'm in the stand. Right? Here, okay. Perfect. 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:40.000 I thought it was better fixed. 00:13:40.000 --> 00:14:00.000 All right. Hi, everyone! Thank you so much. My name is Brianna. I'm faculty in the art department. I teach art history classes. I am so excited for this full year of engagement with the black lunch table nonprofit organization. So let's talk about what do they do? 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.000 What is black lunch table. 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:06.000 So I do. 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.000 Why is this even there. 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.000 Okay. 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:19.000 So their mission statement. They are an organization that is centered in Chicago, but they've done events globally. 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:25.000 Black lunch table is a vernacular history, archiving project. 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:49.000 Our mission is to build a more comprehensive understanding of cultural history by illuminating the stories of black people and our shared stake in the world. We envision a future in which all of our histories are recorded and valued. We are excited to continue disrupting the dominant historical narrative and the systemic othering of black voices. 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.000 We continue addressing historical omissions. 00:14:52.000 --> 00:15:01.000 By empowering marginalized voices to record archive and publish their stories. So what does this mean? 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:17.000 Black lunch table is all about changing the narrative. When you type in, you know, black artists on Wikipedia. There's big gaps there right? We could be. Let me let me advance the next slide here. I think. 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:20.000 Oh, maybe. 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.000 One more, please. I will go back to that. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.000 The Wikimedia Foundation estimates that 70% of Wiki editors are white. 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:34.000 And 91% are men. So black lunch table works to. 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:40.000 Shift and empower people to write their own histories. 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:55.000 Not just focusing on artists, but black scientists, black authors, black mathematicians, that is, you know, a gap that they are working to fill. So we are so excited that we are going to have them here in residence with us. 00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:00.000 There's going to be an amazing week in October, where there's going to be several. 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:09.000 Activations on campus that everyone is invited to come participate. So this is a big one here. Friday, October 18.th 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:14.000 We are going to have black lunch table. Walk us through. How. 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:19.000 To edit Wikipedia. So this is our students. 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:23.000 Doing this editing, archival work. 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:35.000 And so they are going to train the public. Smc students faculty, whoever wants to come, how do you make a Wikipedia page? They have a list. 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:41.000 Artist, black black artists that don't have Wikipedia pages, but they have encouraged us. 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:55.000 I'll send out a survey. They've encouraged us, you know. Maybe there's somebody, you know. Maybe you have someone in your family that needs a Wikipedia page. Maybe it's you right? So anyone can come to this amazing event. 00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:02.000 And Emily added that we'll also be able to create pages for the Smc. Community members, and there will be a photographer on site. 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:12.000 Yes, so, Emily, do you want to go ahead and jump in? We can go back. Do you? Wanna talk about the roundtable? Yeah. 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.000 Sure. Can you hear me? Okay. 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.000 Okay. Great. Hi, everyone. I'm Emily Silver. I'm the director of the barrack gallery. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:24.000 We've been working on this project for over a year, so we're excited that. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:38.000 This is actually happening and starting to roll. The students have been working on it for a year as well. So there are about 60 to 75 students across campus that have already worked deeply on this project. 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:44.000 The roundtables will happen on Wednesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17.th 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:54.000 These are events that are only open to our black students and black faculty and community. These are conversations. There'll be lunch served from 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.000 Local 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:01.000 Restaurants that are in hopefully in Santa Monica restaurants. 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:12.000 And the topics will be given from the women at blt for conversations that will be recorded at these tables there'll be tables set up and around. 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:26.000 The entire gallery. And this will happen within these spaces for people to talk amongst each other. Maybe that aren't usually in conversation with one another on topics around the community, things that you're concerned with. 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:34.000 Or excited about could be. Art might just be local stuff, might be school stuff. They're also asking for local topics that 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.000 That would be of interest to you. 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:42.000 So that will be a ticketed event and it'll be limited to how many seats we have for those 2 days. 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.000 On. 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.000 Do you have the slide before this? Was that the. 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.000 It's a slide. It's a slide app. 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.000 Okay. Okay. Great. Okay. Great. 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.000 Okay. Cool. Yeah. 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:56.000 The 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:03.000 The wiki write off is really important. Obviously, for everything that Briana is talking about. 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:10.000 They did a workshop with our students last semester in the gallery studies program about the importance of. 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:16.000 Archiving digitally for the future, that the future is so digital, and that. 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:26.000 It's important to get in front of this now, and to be part of the conversation now and that, making sure that black voices that have been omitted from history are. 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.000 In fact, included, and in the forefront. 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:46.000 for the future. So I'm hoping that a lot of people will come and and join them. With that they're gonna get everybody a login and teach you how to do this. And in order to have a Wikipedia like we can't really do it for your uncle, because we like your uncle, but if your uncle has done something where 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:56.000 There's an article written about them. Something has to be tagged in the Internet world right to be able to have a Wiki page. That's just how that works. 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:01.000 We do have a survey for you to fill out for people or folks that you feel like should be 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:05.000 Should be included. 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.000 You want me to keep talking, Brian, or you wanna. 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.000 I had Emily. 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.000 Okay, this is like a voice in the room right now. Okay, we invited 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:23.000 Cole. James Cole. James is a curator here in Los Angeles, who focuses a lot on 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:38.000 Really empowering queer black voices. They're also full-time faculty at Otis, where a lot of our students transfer to and used to be adjunct here at Smc. So there's a deep connection to our community, to our students. 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.000 To Los Angeles. 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:47.000 And so they're working in conjunction with black lunch table. They'll be bringing they spent all last semester with our students. 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.000 Doing studio visits photographing work, talking about the work. 00:20:52.000 --> 00:21:15.000 Our students already have written an 84 page Learning Guide, which is not fully complete yet, because we're working on permissions for images and some some research that relates to every single area of interest across the campus. This one is completely student. There's I just oversaw a few things and maybe just permission stuff. But everything has been all student researched. So. 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:29.000 Stem. We have you covered business. We have you covered like all of that is using work that's in this actual exhibition to connect to these bigger topics that land in all of the areas of interest across the campus. 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:36.000 And we're so excited for you to see the work. Yeah. So here's the. 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:47.000 Big talk. That's gonna happen if you came to the thing. We had the exhibition over at the gallery, we had the talk and the keynote at Orientation Hall on main campus. 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.000 1st we do the 00:21:49.000 --> 00:22:13.000 Orientation Hall, and then we all go over to the Barrett. So same thing will happen. We'll have some catering that's happening over, so we can entice you to come, eat some food. But I would encourage you getting there early. I would definitely encourage all of your classes to come to this. We'll have a spillover room last time we had over 500 people. I think Walter, is that right in person? And then we had a zoom running. 00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:19.000 Yeah. And there wasn't. There was a fire and student services center with people sitting on the stairs. 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:25.000 And we had over 100 people in 2 14 just watching it live next door. 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:38.000 Or that was for Matika, and that was when we really hadn't come back yet. It was the 1st semester back on campus, and so we're expecting to have again a full student services, and then we'll be able to accommodate another 125 students and. 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.000 Faculty, and Eric, 14. 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.000 Yeah. Awesome. 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:49.000 We are looking for a student photographer, Hannah Nelson. We have student photographer. 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:59.000 That's gonna help with the photo booth. There'll be a photo booth to photograph members of our community that are gonna get wiki pages, or at least get in the in the Wiki page. 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.000 Area. 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:21.000 They also have an archive system they're working on to archive websites that are even made by our students. So if you have a student who's a designer, or they want to have a permanent archive of that made. That's archived in the Internet somewhere. They're gonna also be working with our students on that. 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:30.000 Don't want to keep going. Yeah, okay, do you? Wanna this is beautiful. You made these slides so I don't know if you wanna talk about them, or you want people to just read them. 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:43.000 I can talk about them a little bit. So I wanted to pull some things out of the Student Learning Guide. They did such an amazing job. I read through it, and I was just blown away at the research that went into this. 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:56.000 So I just am showing you a little sneak peek of what you could see, what you're going to see in the gallery when the show opens up in September. So this is one of the artists featured. 00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.000 The Students interviewed. 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:18.000 And so this is a quote from that interview. My art is involved with my relationship to street wear and media. I explore intersections between old and new, composed, sampled rap and jazz. And so we can see here almost like a a quilt. 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:29.000 Put together images of black Olympic athletes, you know, in motion. There's a lot of found objects here assemblage, and so how can. 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:34.000 Relate that to our areas of interest. 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:43.000 So the students thought through questions. Right? So how might a business major approach this? Well. 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.000 Bridge, hi. 00:24:44.000 --> 00:25:07.000 Many talents. He's not just an artist. He also designs fashion. He wants to work for Nike designing shoes. So he talks a lot in his interview with the Smc. Students, about just his culture, informing his business practices, his his business plan that he has for himself. So we might think. 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:18.000 About asking our business students, you know, how does your culture kind of inform the way you might do business? How do you bring your creativity, together with your business, model. 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:31.000 Then, you know, course, all of this artwork is so intersectional. So for the people culture and society area of interest, you know, thinking about quilting. 00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:39.000 As a black artistic medium. How is quilting? Sort of recognized in this contemporary black artist? His work. 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:56.000 And so how? How does memory sort of get passed down? How do we preserve things like this, you know? Do we need to take photos, put it on Wikipedia right? That definitely needs to happen so that this is archive for future generations. 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.000 Here's another one of the. 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.000 Incredible artists. You can see in the show Kimberly Morris. 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.000 And her work. 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:10.000 Looks at mostly black hair, but also the black female body. 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:16.000 She says. Hair for many black women is a racial identifier. It often speaks for us. 00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:20.000 Before we have an opportunity to speak for ourselves. 00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:43.000 And this is Morris in that photograph. She wrapped herself in this hair and and stood there. It was actually part of a performance piece stood there for an hour. Just sort of contemplating. And so, you know, thinking about for the health and wellness area of interest. And what ways do black visual artists like Kimberly Morris here address and portray mental health. 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:47.000 Within their work. Right? You know. 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.000 Is. 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.000 One to deal with beauty standards. 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:59.000 That are 4 different body types, different hair types. Right? How do these kind of art. 00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:11.000 Comment on the fashion industry. Comment on media, right? So there's a lot here to discuss for many, many disciplines. 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.000 Okay. Emily, do you wanna jump in at all? 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.000 I sorry. 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:32.000 Yeah, you know, it's interesting. When we went to Kimberly, her husband is a urban gardener, too. So there was this whole thing about agriculture in in the city that they were talking about, and the history of West Adams and. 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:43.000 And being old Nola. And so they have all this. The students have all these recordings that they're pulling from, and there'll be a catalog. And they're they're gonna make other connections with that as well. 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.000 Michael Mastenberg, 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:51.000 He's an epic. He he has a show that just opened over at the 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.000 Watts, Towers. 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.000 It, and which is really interesting because. 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.000 He also was a student of Ron Davis, who's gonna be in the show. Our our late Ron Davis, who was our department chair. 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.000 Amazing part of our community who will make a wiki page for and. 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.000 Also. 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:20.000 His connection to Watts Towers and the connection to Noah. And I just picked up a noa sculpture that's also gonna be in the exhibition. So there's this kind of the thing that Cole was looking at. 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:26.000 Is this kind of generational connection between these artists in Los Angeles. 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:31.000 Their influences to one another. This genetic connection about. 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:46.000 Some generational traumas as well through 150 years of DNA is what they write about in in their statement. So Michael's. Is a pretty big statement. I'm hoping that Michael, next semester will also work on a mural with the students. 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.000 He's. 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:53.000 Big into mural painting and just has such a root here in Los Angeles. 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.000 There'll be a. 00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:01.000 Conversation actually with Michael and Cass. Thank you so much to. 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:08.000 Our our supporters, Mark and Freya Smc associates and Smc, global citizen grants for this. 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:14.000 And they're actually, I think, going to be talking about an interview with Noah before Noah had had died. So. 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.000 This is something to put on the calendar we do have. 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.000 Black on shables. Also gonna run a separate. 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.000 Artist. 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.000 Talk. 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.000 Kind of. 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.000 I don't know if it's a panel or. 00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:37.000 Sessions throughout the entire year, both fall and spring. So there will be another one with someone else. But we don't have the dates yet for that. Just so, you know. 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.000 But another thing open to everybody. 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:44.000 Gladys, are you here? We can kind of. 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.000 Bring this over to Gladys. 00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:55.000 We're we're asking other people, you know. A lot of you've probably heard from me or from Walter Brianna throughout the year last year seeing if you wanna do anything. If. 00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:13.000 If there's any connections you want to make. If we didn't, if I didn't know you, I haven't met you, please reach out to me if there's something you wanna do. I know English and dance and art, history and music. We're we're all doing stuff and black collegiate. So please reach out, and Gladys and art history can take this. 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:16.000 Hi! Yes, thank you, Emily, for all that, and. 00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:28.000 So yeah. I had invited Navya to come and give a talk, and she was going through the aesthetic about working with us. So 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:33.000 So a little bit of context. I'm also. I was part of the Latinx. 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:39.000 Heritage Month planning committee. So there's a lot of events going on for that, too. So this is kind of in conjunction with. 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:42.000 Our own programming with Bt, and also. 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:47.000 With a Latinx events that are gonna happen on campus. So. 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:55.000 Nadia is Afroian, and she is an amazing individual. She's a dancer and artist and activist. 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.000 An educator, among many other things, and 00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.000 She has done a lot for her community here in Los Angeles. 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:26.000 And she has agreed to give a talk. We're still working out details, and I'm still in communication with her, so I cannot. This is all the information that I could give, but her talk is called Afro Peruvians resistance and cultural resilience through the art. It's gonna be October first.st During activity. Hour 1115 to 1230 in the Art complex building. 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:44.000 In Room 2 14. So once I get more information about maybe her talking points or things like that, I'd be happy to share that with you all, and see how we can incorporate this into our curriculum. I'm trying to think of anything else I should say about that. 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:56.000 Yeah, that's it. That's all I know so far. So I'm excited for her to come and talk to us. 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.000 Thank you. Gladys. 00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:01.000 Thank you. 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.000 React. 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.000 I'll say I'll say something about this. 00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:04.000 Yeah. Walter, yeah. 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.000 So a member of the English Department. 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.000 Wanted to screen this film. 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:16.000 And it was was looking for support. And I was like this fits perfectly within what we're trying to accomplish within. 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:36.000 Black lunch table. So to think about black lunch table, it's 1st we have a group called Black Lunch table. They're an organization out. They're going to be in residence for a full year. There's also converge vertex, an exhibition happening in the barrack gallery in conjunction with black launch table. Then there's a bunch of programming that faculty have initiated. 00:32:36.000 --> 00:33:01.000 Along with the idea of this year. We're gonna uplift black voices because we have black lunch table. So we're gonna have an exhibition. And we're gonna have programming. So Afro approving, how do we connect a lot next heritage month? Let's talk about intersectional identities and the Afro Latin experience. So that's where we're we're bringing in, Nadia. So then there's these different connections that different departments. So if you have something you have in mind, and or something you're already doing. The phone you want to connect with us. Let us know, so we can put it in the programming. 00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:12.000 We're gonna try to create like a little passport book that we can give to students. So that way they can see, what do they check off on the passport we're trying to bring in right and in someone to work with the English department in terms of writing. 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:17.000 What about the spring? Because what the beautiful thing that happened with? We started in the fall. 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:28.000 People saw the exhibition, they went to the keynote. They got inspired, and then in the spring the number of events, enthusiasm increase. So that's what our hope is, we start today. Professional development day. 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:43.000 The the exhibition opens in September and then October in the middle, we have this big celebration. We have an amazing keynote, an amazing opening. And this programming. And this is going to be the week before that opening is we're gonna screen this film. 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.000 About this amazing author. 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.000 And then 00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:54.000 It happens during the free hour. The course that happens right after in that room is the history of African art. 00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.000 And Caitlin, Dr. Caitlin, Rodriguez. 00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.000 Has agreed to host as part of the beginning of our class. 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.000 A follow up. So she's gonna class. 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:27.000 So it's that's gonna be a full. It's gonna be a full room to get there early. And then the QA. And discussion with the director is gonna happen as part of her classroom discussion. And so this I think, really exciting. So to think about our own classes, how can we, you know, integrate what we're doing? How can we invite our students to the black lunch table events? And then what are the events that are happening in our department, or that we would like to see happen so that we can connect them either this fall, but mostly. 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:32.000 Likely in the spring to make it an even bigger celebration. 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:33.000 This is an associates. 00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:37.000 And this again sponsored by the Smc. Associates. 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.000 Thank you. Smc, associates. 00:34:39.000 --> 00:35:02.000 So you everyone should have received this bulletin today. This is in your email inbox a list of what we just covered in the presentation all the dates. This is just the beginning. There's going to be more events. But this is just to start you off to let your students know and you know, plan for the for the semester. 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.000 Emily. 00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.000 Yeah, I, 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:19.000 We're really excited, and it's schedules open to add stuff, too. To work further on other things, to connect with more students. If you'd like to. The gallery will be open Monday through Saturdays. 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.000 We were went from like. 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:29.000 You know, being open like 3, 4 days a week, sometimes 2 days a week, and now we have to be open 6 days a week at the Barrett, because so many people. 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:52.000 Are coming through, which is unbelievable and amazing. So we thank you so much for sending your students and for coming and for being interested. I just so you know, the students last April already started working on next year's project 2526 the Latin, a experience through the lens that's gonna happen that's connecting to 26 other community colleges and museums around Los Angeles. 00:35:52.000 --> 00:36:00.000 So these things are growing and and shifting and getting bigger. And so we are pretty booked out. So 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:12.000 But you'll be hearing from us for things for next year as well. But for this year we'd love to hear from you. If you have any questions. 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:16.000 Who else left? 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:22.000 But we're open. 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:28.000 So in our department meeting yesterday, one of the things one of our breakout moments was just to like get into small groups. 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:36.000 And to start thinking like, what could we do? And like the the obvious one, is like in in terms of the art department. As the chair. I've asked every faculty. 00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.000 If they're teaching on ground at some point. 00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:41.000 To take their students. 00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:43.000 Physically be at the barrack gallery. 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:48.000 And then if you're teaching online without a ground component. 00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:55.000 At some moment in the semester. There's an assignment that they interact with the black lunch table and converge vertex website. 00:36:55.000 --> 00:37:20.000 To talk about the art and the conversations going on. So those are the things that we're sort of. That's the obvious. But the other one is like the pedagogical of like what needs to change, and how I teach my course. And even, you know, like someone say, Oh, I teach ancient art. What does that have to do with it? And then, like, well, let's brainstorm communication strategies and aesthetics. And maybe it's a compare and contrast. Or maybe there's a theme. 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:40.000 From the ancient world that's present in that. So that's kind of the opportunity that we've invited our faculty to sort of contemplate to not be so literal in terms of like, how does this relate? You know I'm putting you on the spot like the like? Oh, is this what the heck does this have to do with math? And it's like, well, instead of that question, like. 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:53.000 How can I relate this to what I'm doing in math? Is there some connection I can make or have them contemplate? How do I connect it to my curriculum. 00:37:53.000 --> 00:38:01.000 And then we want to hear from you as well. We create as part of the Learning guide. We love sample assignments, so there will be some sample assignments that we give out. 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:05.000 To faculty. It's like, it's really easy for English. 00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:23.000 You know, like as a prompt of like, something that you relate to that, or tell a story about what you see in the work, or you know, there's like a lot of easy prompts there. We kind of call that ecrisis in our history of like tell the story of what's happening in that painting or that work of art? But so we'll have some for you. But we'd love to hear from. 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:33.000 A faculty and and staff, and anyone else who has some ideas also like, Hey, this is how I'm gonna use the Residency. This is how I'm gonna use the exhibition. 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:36.000 This is how I'm gonna use all that programming as part of. 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:42.000 Pedagogy for the fall and spring semesters. 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.000 I also wanna say that we. 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.000 It's really important that these are things that. 00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:59.000 Are lasting, and aren't just these like, oh, we did this thing right. We did it. We had a show and a year of this stuff. But this is really. 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:02.000 Impacts our curriculum right? That we make. 00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:06.000 Pedagogy changes across the campus that we get. 00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.000 New resources in our libraries that. 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:15.000 And we did a lot of that with matika and and part of the Learning Guide. In the back are some assignments that other. 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:19.000 Faculty came up with, and we archived them, and so. 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:23.000 This year we we're gonna do catalog of the artists and the work in the show. 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:29.000 And we'll have a learning guide. But we're also interested in documenting how our campus shifts and changes. 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:37.000 Through this project and creating another catalog in the spring. That's that is a collection of all these things. So if you. 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:52.000 Come up with new assignments or field trips, or videos, or whatever resources we'd love to all compile them in a place that we can then have the library have for the future, and that this is something that we can really 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.000 Change the canon. 00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:10.000 And I'll have you know that the Last Learning Guide, the Learning Guide was picked up by the National Education Association. The Nea picked it up, and they are distributing it. In K through 12 education stuff with project 5, 6. Book to indigenize. 00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:16.000 Education, and we went and presented at a conference in Albuquerque last year to all indigenous educators. 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:27.000 And gave them all copies of these learning guides. So these are intended to really make changes bigger than just our own bubble. So really. 00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:32.000 Hoping we can do that together. 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:35.000 Thanks, Emily. 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.000 Comments, questions from the. 00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:39.000 Live audience here. 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.000 Not that zoom isn't live. 00:40:41.000 --> 00:40:49.000 How about the people physically, and present with Brianna and I. 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.000 It's really inspiring. 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.000 It's really, it's just like giving me a million ideas, but also so much appreciation. 00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.000 For what you all are doing. 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:04.000 Thanks. Lee. 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.000 I'll do some shout out, thanks, Tracy. Thank you. 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:13.000 Tracy's our grant, you know. She's if you don't know Tracy, she's our. She does the Grants at the college. Chris. 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:16.000 And gosh! When do we start having these conversations like. 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:23.000 2 years ago. Right? It was 2 years ago. We didn't get any of the big grants that we applied for. But thank you, Tracy, for all your help. 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:28.000 And applying for them, because I think that at least it definitely lets the rest of the world know what we're up to, and. 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:32.000 Even if we didn't get it this year. Maybe when we apply for future ones. 00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:35.000 So thank you. 00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:36.000 And. 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.000 Thanks for the support of all the people. I think one of the reason I love professional development days that we all get to come together. 00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.000 And I'm struggling right now to know how to like. 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:53.000 There's a lot of names and faces on Zoom, and I totally get like we're all busy and whatnot. But is there some way that we can do anything for you and create this community. 00:41:53.000 --> 00:42:01.000 Because that's like, I think the best thing is we get to see each other, and I'll shout out to Gina. We used to see each other all the time we were part of the canvas migration team. 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:07.000 And so it's it's like, Oh, my God, even it's like so great to hang out with you, even if it's just seeing your picture on zoom. 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.000 So great to be in the room with you. 00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:13.000 I miss all the interaction. Right? So I love this day where we all get to be, and. 00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:17.000 In in communing with each other. 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:21.000 So I'm gonna go ahead and stop recording. 00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:25.000 I'm thinking of a question. Maybe there is one question in the chat actually. 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:26.000 Will you have students. 00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:40.000 Oh, that's right. Are you talking to Emily? Yes, I see you in the text. Okay. I also wanted to mention that art, history faculty, such as myself and studio faculty. Like Mark Trujillo, are teaming up. 00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.000 To give some talks in the. 00:42:43.000 --> 00:43:05.000 Gallery themselves. Mark and I will be there all day for 2 sessions on October 29, th which is a Tuesday, and so, if you check out the website. I believe this is true, Emily. Those engagements will be listed, and if you would just like to take your class and sort of hear what Mark and I will have to say about the works of art, and maybe. 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:15.000 Do a little team teaching with your own discipline, and how the stuff on the wall also reflects what you teach the art on the wall also reflects. 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:20.000 What you teach. We are! The more the merrier at the Barrett Art Gallery I've had. 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:35.000 Giant tours of 75 people run through there. So fe! Don't be shy. Bring your class check out those dates. Other faculty in our department are giving gallery talk at other times as well. 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:41.000 And the people who sit in the gallery and keep it open. 11 Am. To 4 are all students. 00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:45.000 They should all be able to give one of these docent. 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:50.000 So if you show up the gallery and the students just behind the desk doing their homework. 00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:59.000 Feel free to ask them and say, Hey, I heard that you could tell me something about the show, because they've either directly worked in the show, or they've been working in that. 00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:02.000 Gallery, and they should have read the Learning Guide. 00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:18.000 And that's 1 of the expectations of that student employment. So anytime the gallery is open. That's a student worker. They should be really great student Dosan, and most likely they were part of the curatorial team, because we like to hire the students. 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:37.000 In the gallery who work, who actually were able to work on the exhibition and have that real passion, and, like Nate said, it hasn't been updated yet, because we just had our faculty meeting. But before the opening, every full time every, not full, every faculty was teaching on ground is going to be bringing their class. 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:57.000 To the exhibition at some point, this semester, and we've asked them all to make that a public event. It's really exciting, like when I take my class, there'll be one or 2 community members whose look on the website and show up. And it's such a great way for them to be able to so feel free to look there. And and if I you know, if any of us are scheduled to be in the gallery to lead our students. 00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:09.000 We welcome you to send your students during that same time. You don't need to be there. We'll be there, and they can be part of the exercises that we do with our students. 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:13.000 Good questions. Emily added that the show. 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:16.000 I can't wait to see the show on the walls. It's gonna be great. 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.000 So so soft opening means the gallery is open, the show is open. 00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:22.000 We just haven't had the big party. 00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.000 So the big. That's why people. 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.000 Oh, so we can go now, Walter. 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:26.000 No September 23.rd 00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:27.000 Oh, September 23.rd Okay. Got it? 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.000 Yeah, right? And right now we should just say, there's an amazing history of glass show up. 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.000 Yeah. 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:33.000 So that you'll get that bullet next week. 00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:37.000 But glass. We are the only community college. 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:41.000 That offers glass, any kind of glassblowing or glass fusing. 00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:43.000 In the State of California. 00:45:43.000 --> 00:46:08.000 We are the only glass program at any higher ed institution in La County, so fortune has one, but no one else in La county north. None of those have a glass walling. So we're really this unique campus. And if you go to the barrack gallery, you're gonna be blown away at looking at all the hit. 1st of all, the history of the program. It's a very educational show, and it talks about the different things that we do with glass, and how we teach. 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:12.000 Glass Smc. As well as just fabulous objects. 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:16.000 Hanging from the ceiling all over the walls, in. 00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:19.000 So come to the barrack. We're gonna have the what's the date of that opening. 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:22.000 Normally. It's the Wednesday after. 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.000 Labor, day. 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:24.000 September, 4, th yeah. 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:25.000 September 4.th 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:26.000 From 4. 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:31.000 Come to another. We're gonna have a little. We call it a closing. So we already did the opening over closing party. 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:34.000 On the 4th of September. 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:41.000 Anyone else. These are great. 00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:45.000 Alicia, did you get what you needed? 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:57.000 So I have a question, will there be any virtual opportunities for students who only take classes online that may want to explore and see the Barrett Gallery, and. 00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:02.000 And perhaps the films are going to be presented. 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:09.000 What we do is we create a website. So the web page will have the checklist of the artist. It'll have the learning guide. 00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:12.000 And then we'll have some sample assignments. 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:27.000 So for my online classes, like, I'll just give you my example is that there's a lot of the art of the ancient world is about portraiture, a portrait of rulers right? And so we talk about. I just asked them to take one of portraits. 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:38.000 And comparative to some image that we saw the portrait in ancient art, and that was the assignment to go visit the website, read about, and then they could read about each, if you remember, show there was a list. So that was. 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:43.000 You. I just created a virtual assignment that didn't require them physically. Going to the gallery. 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:52.000 But it did require them interacting with material and with the the narratives around each of those portraits to talk about aesthetics. 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.000 And values. 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:56.000 And the different ways those people are being portrayed. 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.000 And and how that that reflects. 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:03.000 the different choices that were made aesthetically. 00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:08.000 I was thinking more along the lines of a zoom. Dosa led Tour. 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:09.000 I love the idea. 00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:13.000 Does that make sense. 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:14.000 Okay. 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.000 I think that would be a great email to myself and Emily, and to say, How can we create that? Because I think our student curators would would be awesome. 00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:29.000 Some of our student creators were actually interns at the Getty this spring, and they had an educational internship where they were. They were actually the docent for K. 12. 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:37.000 For the for the Getty villa. So I think that's a great idea of integrating, maybe like one talk, and we record it. And then. 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:42.000 Yeah. So if your students had a particular, if you had, if you wanted to be that. 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.000 Group. We could arrange it with your students. 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:51.000 Or any of you, and then have that recorded for future that do some talk online. 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:56.000 I love it. Thank you. 00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:03.000 We can try and live stream that wiki thing on, for on that Friday as well, we'll be in 2 14, so we can attempt to do that. 00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:08.000 Yeah, we did live stream the keynote last time, so I don't see why we couldn't live. Stream the 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:13.000 The keynote as well. 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:18.000 Yeah, I forgot to say that matica's keynote we had, like 500 people in student services. 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:21.000 Another 102 14, and then I think. 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:28.000 Forgetting how many they said were, had chosen to live stream. But it was around about 100, I think. 00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:37.000 Going to the the live stream. 00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:47.000 The other questions. 00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:56.000 All right. I'm not one to keep us longer. We need to thank you so much for coming end of the day. Professional development.
