SUMMARY:Sound of a Thousand Years: Gagaku Instruments from Japan
DESCRIPTION:The Art\, Design\, & Architecture Museum at UCSB is currently displaying “Sound of a Thousand Years: Gagaku Instruments from Japan\,” an exhibition organized by Fabio Rambelli. \n\nPhotograph by Daigengna Duoer.\n\nIt is an exhibition on Gagaku\, the ceremonial music and dance of the imperial court and the main Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines of Japan; as the oldest continuously performed orchestral music in the world (the tradition in Japan starts in the late seventh century)\, it has been designated by UNESCO as part of the world heritage.\n\nProf. Rambelli curated this exhibition with the help of Dr. Rory Lindsay (University of Toronto) and grad students from EALCS and Religious Studies—Kaitlyn Ugoretz\, Mason Johnson\, Mariangela Carpinteri\, and Daigengna Duoer—based on a seminar of the cultural history of Gagaku held in Fall 2019. We are grateful to the Department of Ethnomusicology at UCLA for loaning several instruments\, to Maestro Bunno Hideaki and the musicians and dancers of his Gagaku Ensemble (for allowing us to use photos and videos of their performances at UCSB in March 2020)\, and to the Music Department at UCSB for loaning some pieces from the Henry Eichheim Collection. Special thanks also to Professor Scott Marcus (Music Department).\nSee the AD&A Museum’s page for more details: https://www.museum.ucsb.edu/news/feature/839.

SUMMARY:Make Mars Beautiful: The Aesthetics of Sino-forming in the Chinese Century
DESCRIPTION:China plans to send its first manned mission to Mars by 2033\, and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet. Many outside China see this ambitious turn towards space colonization as an attempt to establish global leadership in science and technology. But what is the cultural significance of Mars and Martian colonization for the Chinese? To form a better appreciation for Chinese conceptualizations of the relationship between nature and humanity that will shape the country’s interplanetary future\, George Zhu urges us to begin with one of China’s most well known artistic treasures\, the Meat Shaped Stone. Making connections across centuries of art\, environmental management\, and imperial ambition\, Zhu outlines a possible future for Mars–and the Earth–in what portends to be the Chinese century. \nGeorge Zhu received his master’s in English literature from the University of California Irvine. He is the co-founder of Double Bind Media\, a production company specializing in experimental documentary film and other visual media based in Los Angeles and the Netherlands. Currently\, he resides in the Netherlands where he develops and produces a range of multidisciplinary new media work. He is also a writer interested in contemporary Chinese culture\, environmentalism\, endangered species\, climate change\, and science studies. \nWednesday\, December 1st\, 2021\n1:00 PM — 2:30 PM\nUniversity of California\, Santa Barbara\nHumanities & Social Change Center\nRobertson Gymnasium 1000A\nCosponsors: Capps Center for the Study of Ethics\, Religion\, and Public Life; Department of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies; Environmental Studies Program
