The Burke Revival Film Screening & Discussion Series is launching its second season with a special screening of Kent McKenzie’s 1961 drama The Exiles at Digital Gym Cinema at UC San Diego’s Park & Market. The Exiles chronicles a night in the life of a group of 20-something Native Americans who left reservation life in the 1950s to live in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. The film is a narrative feature with a script pieced together from interviews with the documentary subjects. As a bonus, attendees will also view a screening of the 1965 short documentary film Bunker Hill. After the films, UC San Diego’s Campus Minister/Religious Advisor Rev. Scott Young will lead a special discussion with a panel of guests, a film reviewer, and attendees about the film. Tickets are $13 for the general public and $11 for students and seniors.

Oolong Gallery is thrilled to announce its upcoming exhibition, "The Room of Orpheus," on view from Nov. 1 to Dec. 11, 2024. This is the second show in Oolong's new permanent Rancho Santa Fe gallery space featuring work by four Southern California based artists: Jasmine Little, Derek Simons, Stan Kaplan, Bianca Juarez, who collectively explore themes of mythology, memory, and material in the form of ceramic sculptures and paintings. Inspired by the Mediterranean origins and mythology of Orpheus and the poignant Orphic trilogy by Jean Cocteau, alongside Philip Glass’s powerful score, "The Room of Orpheus" invites viewers into a new contemporary art space set in the Spanish Colonial town of Rancho Santa Fe, California. In relation to artists, the myth of Orpheus serves as a powerful metaphor for the creative process. Just as Orpheus's music evokes deep emotions and connects with universal themes of love, loss, and longing, artists use their mediums to explore and express the complexities of the human experience.

Join us for a conversation with Agustina S. Paglayan about her new book, “Raised to Obey: The Rise and Spread of Mass Education,” and learn why Nobel Laureate James Robinson says “you will never think about education the same way after reading this path-breaking and iconoclastic book.” Paglayan will discuss how the expansion of primary education in the West emerged not from democratic ideals but from politicians’ desire to control citizens. The future of education systems — and their ability to strengthen democracy, promote growth and reduce inequality — hinges on coming to terms with this troubling legacy. The event is open to the public. A reception will follow. This event is organized by UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS).
