The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is delighted to announce that Arthur Beaumont: Art of the Sea--an exhibit of 53 paintings chronicling the accomplishments of the US Navy, from the USS Constitution to atomic bomb tests and expeditions to the North and South Poles—will be at the Museum for just six months, the last show on the West Coast before it leaves for the East Coast. Beaumont used Impressionist techniques in painting the stunning images in this exhibit and in capturing the majesty of the oceans and the vessels that sail them.

As part of the UC Santa Barbara Ethnomusicology Forum's UCSB ABD Graduate Student Series, UC Santa Barbara PhD candidate Alexander Karvelas will present a lecture titled "Eth(n)ographic Gardening: Preliminary Research Design in a Study of Permaculture Acoustemologies" on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 from 3:30-5 pm PST via Zoom. Synthesizing Steven Feld’s framework of acoustemology (1996, 2017) with environmental humanities discourses on the more-than-human (Rose and Van Dooren 2016, Haraway 2017), this presentation sets the theoretical and methodological groundwork for a study of permaculture acoustemologies—permacultural modes of knowing, relating, and tending through sound—in the context of gardening/land-tending as a more-than-human encounter.
