The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz is marking their 25th anniversary! Come celebrate with us at our culminating event, Night at the Museum, on June 5th at 7pm at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History. This year’s Night at the Museum features Amending Worlds, a panel discussion about speculative fiction and a multi-media exhibition by UCSC graduate and undergraduate students and alumni winners of the Coha-Gunderson Prize in Speculative Futures. Our annual UCSC Night at the Museum welcomes the public to experience all of the ongoing exhibitions and gallery spaces at the museum for free (see our photos from last year)! Amending Worlds includes installations, performances, visual art, film & video, and a computer game, distributed throughout the museum’s spaces. Prizewinners come from a range of disciplines, including Anthropology, Art, Computational Media, Environmental Art and Social Practice, Film and Digital Media, Literature, and Politics. The event panel discussion will feature Micah Perks (UC Santa Cruz), Cathy Thomas (UCSB), and Kim Tallbear (University of Alberta), moderated by Carla Freccero (UC Santa Cruz).
