"Is politics our new religion?" How we answer this question depends on how we define religion and politics, both of which mean different things to different people (including scholars). UCSB Library presents a talk by Ann Taves, Professor of Religious Studies, to be followed by a public reception.

Intuitive layering is the driving force behind this hands on workshop, orchestrated by Glenn Dallas artist Brendan Briggs. If you’ve ever wondered how to create texture and depth within your works, backdrop or foreground, this class is for you.

Participants need only bring open, creative and free minds. Materials will be provided. Everyone will go home with a completed piece of personal art work.

This workshop is held on Monday, November 4, 2019, 5:30 – 7:30; or until you finish your project!

Journey into the very spirit of flamenco with one of the most famous names of the art form. Born into a flamenco dynasty, Andalusian “flamenco puro” royalty Farruquito weaves an ancestral spell, blending fiercely stunning and intricate rhythmic foot patterns – performed at harrowing speeds – with elegant and expressive body movements. With his masterful ensemble of dancers, singers and musicians, “the greatest flamenco dancer of the century” (The New York Times) displays his technical prowess, dramatic flair and brilliant sense of invention in “quite simply… one of the most exciting flamenco shows in recent memory” (The Boston Globe).

“I’ve never seen any flamenco dancer with such dynamic variety.” The New York Times

“Raw, visceral, and executed with blazing intensity and immediacy.” The Boston Globe
