The term 鈥淟eft Coast鈥� has further underlined the significance of progressive and radical movements in these states’ political systems and reputations. In this talk, Gregory explores the history of West Coast radicalism and factors that have made it influential beyond what is common in other regions, including those with blue-state traditions.

December 5, 10:00 am – 8:00 pm | (Burke Museum)
Margery Cercado (Filipinx) plans to create a mixed-media sculpture piece of a giant rafflesia flower with a scent element using found materials and textiles.
Artist Statement: With work emphasizing materiality in found objects and mediums like clay, textile, stone, wood, and metal, I examine identity, lineage, dichotomy, one鈥檚 surroundings in both the physical and intangible sense and the cultural connections we hold through relation to our land environments and the beings that coexist within it. I believe to understand ourselves we must not only acknowledge our places of origins and current surroundings, but also prioritize our bonds with nature as deep soul work.
