How do we as a community prepare for disaster scenarios? What should we be doing as individuals to be ready? Do we know how to aid our vulnerable community members? Do we have the knowledge to survive in the woods? These questions, spurred by the book Station Eleven, will be discussed and investigated in a set of events being held by the Santa Barbara Public Library System for this year’s Santa Barbara Reads.

The third edition of the lecture series, “Fast & Curious: ED Talks from UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz School,” will take place on Monday, November 6 at 7 pm at the Faulkner Gallery at the Santa Barbara Public Library, 40 E. Anapamu St.

Telescope Tuesday at Camino Real Marketplace

Nostalgia for the Future examines Indian modernity, the making of the citizen, and the architecture of the home. It looks at four distinct imaginations of homes and bodies across examples of buildings constructed over the course of a century. Lukhshmi Vilas Palace in Baroda is a gigantic home that was built by a progressive monarch in the late nineteenth century. Villa Shodhan in Ahmedabad is a private residence that was designed by Le Corbusier, and that represents the idea of domesticity within Nehruvian modernity. Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad epitomizes the Gandhian aspirations of the nation-state. Public housing in post-independence Delhi was designed by the government of India to house refugees from Pakistan and the bureaucrats of the newly-independent nation.
 The film explores these spaces and imagines the bodies that were meant to inhabit them through the evocation of the cinematic and aural collective memory of a nation.
