SUMMARY:GODS IN LIVING COLOR: 19TH-CENTURY DEVOTIONAL LITHOGRAPHS FROM CALCUTTA
DESCRIPTION:For over two thousand years\, artists in the Indian Subcontinent have depicted Hindu deities through a wide range of media\, frequently innovating when new techniques and materials became available or in response to social or religious changes. One such moment occurred during the 19th century in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata)\, when new technologies of reproduction and systems of representation brought by the British Raj—and its allied systems of commerce and culture—opened up new representational possibilities. This lecture will address what happened when lithography and other depictive tools entered a local visual ecosystem already rich with indigenous forms of painted and printed devotional imagery. The new forms of sacred and mythological imagery that Bengali artists created during this moment of transformation were\, until recently\, mostly excluded from the art historical canon. Celebrating and exploring them not only broadens our view of the history of Indian art and religion but also helps us to understand the ever-expanding universe of sacred images that we see in home\, shop and office shrines around the globe today. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place. Space is limited. \nSave my spot!

SUMMARY:Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion
DESCRIPTION:The undisputed tabla star of his generation\, Zakir Hussain possesses a “virtuosity that is barely to be believed” (The Washington Post). For his legion of Cal Performances fans\, Hussain returns with his dazzling Masters of Percussion program\, a gathering of fellow musical heavyweights representing a myriad of cultures and traditions\, from Indian classical music to jazz. The spirit of collaboration and exchange runs in Hussain’s veins—he began touring more than two decades ago in a duo with his late father and mentor\, the legendary Ustad Allarakha\, and today keeps that artist’s memory alive through these spirited concerts featuring the world’s finest percussionists. This year’s Masters of Percussion group features Hussain joined by Indian sarangi player (and son of legendary sarangi player Ustad Sultan Khan) Sabir Khan; Colombian-born jazz master Tupac Mantilla;  balafon\, barra\, djembe\, and conga player Melissa Hié\, and master of the dholak and tabla student of Hussain’s father Ustad Allarakha\, Navin Sharma.

SUMMARY:POWER\, POSTURE\, AND PRIVILEGE: THE POLITICS OF THE SEAT IN INDIA
DESCRIPTION:SACHI AND ASIAN ART MUSEUM\, SAN FRANCISCO \nInvite You to Explore Unique Perspectives on Seating Culture in India in an Insightful Discussion \nPOWER\, POSTURE\, AND PRIVILEGE: THE POLITICS OF THE SEAT IN INDIA \nAre you sitting down? Reconsider the meaning of an object that we use daily with Sarita Sundar\, author of the new book “From the Frugal to the Ornate: Stories of the Seat in India.” Sundar’s presentation will examine seats that resist typecasting; seats that defy time and space; and seats that inspire a range of emotions — from Gandhi’s humble seat on the floor to the ubiquitous plastic monobloc chair and the legendary Peacock Throne. Beyond the physical characteristics of a seat\, Sundar’s research considers its relationships with the sitter and surrounding figures: the power and privilege a seat can grant\, simply by association. From India’s history to the present day\, discover what the seat is for\, what worlds it belongs to\, and what worlds it can open. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nSarita Sundar is the Founder of Hanno\, a heritage interpretation and design consultancy. Her interests in cultural and design history have led the direction of her work\, which ranges from examining vernacular typography to research into the intangible and material culture of performance practices in the temples of Valuvanad\, Kerala. Sundar has taught and evaluated courses on the history of design at various colleges in India and abroad. She builds upon her past work through a 2022-23 Fulbright Visiting Scholar Fellowship that looks critically at intersectional milestones in Indian and American design histories. \nRSVP: info@sachi.org; \nRegister here

At first she hopes her exile will be brief\, but those sent to Carville are more prisoners than patients and their disease has no cure. Instead she must find community and purpose within its walls\, struggling to redefine her self-worth and reimagining her future. \nAbout the Author \nAmanda Skenandore\nAmanda Skenandore is an award-winning author of historical fiction and a registered nurse. Her debut novel\, Between Earth and Sky\, won the 2019 American Library Association’s Reading List award for Best Historical Fiction. Her third novel\, The Second Life of Mirielle West\, was named an Apple Best Books of the Month and a Hoopla Book Club Pick. She lives in Las Vegas with her husband and their pet turtle Lenore. \nTo learn more about events at Silicon Valley Reads\, please visit their site at \nsiliconvalleyreads.org/events \nJoin us for all the events and invite a friend!
