SUMMARY:The Great Wall of Los Angeles by Judith F. Baca: Looking to the Past and Building the Future
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Dr. Judith F. Baca on the creation\, impact and conservation of the Great Wall of Los Angeles.  \n“Standing at the river’s edge\, I saw the concreted arroyos as scars in the land. I dreamed of a “tattoo on the scar where the river once ran\,” and an endless narrative that would recover the stories of those who were disappeared along with the river. How could we recover the memory recorded in the land? This began my years of working with more than 400 youth and hundreds of descendants of the original peoples in the Los Angeles River\, recovering\, through the creation of visual histories\, all that had disappeared. Through our ongoing narrative work\,The Great Wall of Los Angeles\, we are attempting to heal both the river and the people. Currently measuring one half-mile\, [and expanding to a full mile] The Great Wall is an evolving chronology of memory from the land recorded with our hands and paint\, and now flowing along the river where it all began.”- Judith F. Baca. \nOne of America’s leading visual artists\, Dr. Judith F. Baca\, has created public art for four decades. Powerful in size and subject matter\, Baca’s murals bring art to where people live and work. In 1974\, Baca founded the City of Los Angeles’ first mural program\, which produced over 400 murals\, employed thousands of local participants\, and evolved into an arts organization – the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC). She continues to serve as SPARC’s artistic director while also employing digital technology in SPARC’s digital mural lab to promote social justice and participatory public arts projects. \nBeginning with the awareness that the land has memory\, Baca creates art shaped by an interactive relationship of history\, people\, and place. Her public artworks focus on revealing and reconciling diverse peoples’ struggles for their rights and affirming the community’s connections to place. Together with the people who live there\, they co-create monumental public art places that become “sites of public memory.” \nIn 2012\, the Los Angeles Unified School District named a school the Judith F. Baca Arts Academy\, located in Watts\, her birthplace. She is a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship\, the United States Artist Rockefeller Fellowship\, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant awarded for the expansion of the Great Wall. \n  \nWatch the Recording Here

SUMMARY:Virtual Pizza Talk: Human Remains in Tibetan Material Religion: Conservation as Research Methodology
DESCRIPTION:Ayesha Fuentes\nStride Lecturer in Arts Conservation\nNorthumbria University \nWatch the Recording Here \nAyesha Fuentes will discuss Tibetan and Himalayan religious use of ritual objects made with human skulls and femurs. Fuentes incorporates conservation methods\, documentation\, and interpretation of the material knowledge and techniques used to select\, prepare\, activate\, maintain and exchange these objects. This project combines the technical examination of objects in museum collections with interviews and observations made across the Himalayan region and investigations of historical sources and cultural narratives. Her research highlights the longevity\, function and value of these ritual instruments within diverse communities. \nAyesha Fuentes\, Stride Lecturer in Arts Conservation at Northumbria University\, is an objects conservator and technical art historian specializing in Asian material heritage. She is a graduate of the UCLA/Getty MA program in Conservation of Ethnographic Materials (2014) and a former employee at the Fowler Museum at UCLA. She recently submitted her doctoral dissertation on the use of human remains in Tibetan ritual objects at School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, University of London\, where she was a Neil Kreitman and Overseas Research Scholar.

SUMMARY:THE PROMISE OF "VIRTUAL UNWRAPPING" - READING THE INVISIBLE LIBRARY
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA/Getty Conservation Program presents “The man who can read the unreadable\,” computer scientist and professor W. Brent Seales\, the first speaker in the 50th Anniversary Lecture Series. Currently a Getty Conservation Institute Scholar\, Seales and his team have been key to revealing texts on papyri that are too fragile to unroll\, such as Homers “Iliad” and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The recipient of a $2 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, Seales will discuss how technological progress over the past ten years has led to the promise of “virtual unwrapping” for reading the “invisible library” of scrolls found at Herculaneum; papyri that were buried and burned in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 70 CE. \nReservations requested. Click here to RSVP by January 8. For more information call 310-825-4004. \nFriends of the Cotsen Institute are invited to a private reception with Dr. Seales at 6pm. To learn more about the Friends visit their page or contact Michelle Jacobson at mjacobson@ioa.ucla.edu. \nSeales is Professor and Chairman of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Kentucky. His research applies data science and computer vision to challenges in the digital restoration and visualization of antiquities. In 2012-13\, he was a Google Visiting Scientist in Paris\, where he continued work on the “virtual unwrapping” of the Herculaneum scrolls. In 2015\, Seales and his research team identified the oldest known Hebrew copy of the book of Leviticus (other than the Dead Sea Scrolls)\, carbon dated to the third century C.E. The reading of the text from within the damaged scroll has been hailed as one of the most significant discoveries in biblical archaeology of the past decade.
