[Sehefac] SEHE Art as research method workshop March 7 11-12ish! Open to SEHE affiliates!

[Dana Simmons]

Dear SEHE friends,
I'm super excited to announce that we are hosting artist Cynthia Huerta for
a workshop on *art as research method*, *Friday March 7 11am-12ish at the
Center for Ideas and Society*. This will be a practical workshop on art
making as a way of thinking and communicating in our research and teaching.
Cynthia has been working for the past few years with SEHE faculty Jennifer
Syvertsen on integrating zines into teaching and research. Thank you,
Jennifer, for making this workshop happen.
Please *let me know as soon as possible* if you are able to join us so that
we can estimate our supplies. Here's Cynthia's bio:



*Cynthia Huerta is a Mexican-American Multidisciplinary Community Artist,
Curator, and Advocate has been servicing Southern California's communities
for over 18 years.Her mediums include: painting, watercolor, muraling,
sculpture, drawing printmaking, mosaic and pyrography. She has partnered
with UCR School of Medicine, Cal State San Bernardino, UCR Undocumented
Student Programs, Teaching Residents at Teachers Collage though Columbia
University, Google, Success in Motion and many more. Her personal and
public art always centers the BIPOC community.Whether that entails creating
with community, curating shows featuring BIPOCC artist, or organizing
events and art workshops that provide a reprieve and joy.*

The workshop is funded through our NEH Humanities Connections grant.
This is going to be super fun and insightful and I hope that you can make
it!

On the same wavelength, SEHE is co-sponsoring a workshop on visual
storytelling by filmmaker Ora DeKornfeld this *Friday 2/28, 2-5pm (INTS
1109)*. Over three hours, participants will learn to uncover meaningful
stories by building authentic connections, following their curiosity, and
mastering the art of asking creative questions. We'll begin by exploring
the elements of compelling stories, then delve into the subtle art of
question-crafting. From there, we'll move into practical interview
techniques and preparation, culminating in hands-on practice where
participants can apply these skills in real time. Thanks to Media and
Cultural Studies Dept. for organizing this.

See you soon and take care,
Dana
