The Hammer's curatorial department leads free, insightful, short discussions about artists every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. This talk on Tetsuya Noda is led by curatorial assistant Jennie Waldow. Location: hammer museum

Scholarly identity is about more than the articles you publish or the projects you share online with your research communities. Your scholarly identity includes the many parts of your history and engagement as a researcher, including your education, employment, awards, collaborators and more—and it exists whether you are the one curating it or not. Taking control of your scholarly identity supports your visibility, credibility and transparency as a researcher and plays a crucial role in open scholarly communication. This workshop will cover the importance and impact of creating and managing your scholarly identity with tools like ORCID and Google Scholar, as well as how these tools connect with other network and profile platforms. We will also explore other options like Twitter and ResearchGate. This workshop will be offered via Zoom. If you're registered, you'll receive the Zoom invitation information the day of the workshop. Instructors: Jason Burton, Director, Sciences User Engagement Gissel Rios, Open Science and Collections Librarian Hannah Sutherland, Open Science and Collections Librarian

This conversation is presented by the UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture and the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles. Led by Professor Sharon Gerstel, Director of the UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture, and the Honorable Christina Valassopoulou, Consul General of Greece in Los Angeles, this academic year’s book club will feature Greek books in translation. For future book selections and meeting dates, visit https://hellenic.ucla.edu/. The discussion will be held in English on Zoom. From the publisher: Aristophanes’ play, Lysistrata, takes place toward the end of the Peloponnesian War and centers on the lives of the soldiers’ wives. One woman, Lysistrata, under the impression that a man’s libido is ultimately his driving force in life, comes up with an interesting peace solution: to deny their husbands sexual relations until they can settle on a peace agreement that will end the war. However, Lysistrata’s strategy effectively creates even more war than before as the sexes begin to feud with each other. Aristophanes’ play is both comic and poignant as it reveals the relationship between men and women in classical Athens society. This program is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). Location: https://hellenic.ucla.edu/event/book-club-lysistrata-by-aristophanes/

Hammer educators lead conversation-based tours of the exhibition Breath(e): Toward Climate and Social Justice. Capacity is limited. Visitors will be admitted on a first come, first served basis. Location: hammer museum

Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. In the stranger-comes-to-town narratives of The Brother From Another Planet and Man Facing Southeast, norms in the human world get shaken up by an alien presence. In both films, the strangers arrive on Earth under mysterious circumstances and, once here, unintentionally adapt to our world via their perceived empathetic gazes on marginalized communities. Their observations of human behavior lead to both comedic events and revelatory critiques of society. Without relying on special effects, these narrative feature films emulate their protagonists and what might or might not be their alien powers in conveying themes of otherness that are relatable even here among earthlings. Notes by Nicole Ucedo Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Educators lead 30-minute in-person talks about connections and comparisons between two works of art. Please note that this recurring program is subject to change. Visit the Public Programs calendar to find the most up to date information. Location: hammer museum

For a generation of TV-watching children growing up in Los Angeles (and across the U.S.) in the 1970s and ’80s, the fantastical sci-fi adventures of Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot achieved instant cult status upon first viewing. Originally produced by the Toei Company and airing on Japan’s NET TV in 1967 as Giant Robo, the 26-episode manga-esque series followed the high-adrenaline exploits of a schoolboy who accidentally becomes a secret agent in command of an imposing, missile-launching flying robot. In 1970, low-budget impresario Roger Corman’s American International Television company imported the action-packed Japanese series to the U.S., dubbed the dialogue, and edited numerous episodes into the compilation TV film Voyage Into Space. The beloved telefilm became a staple of local stations and UHF channels for over a decade — at one point airing five nights a week on KTLA in Los Angeles due to its popularity. The live-action Voyage Into Space is heavy on practical effects, with a host of unforgettable hostile aliens and monsters (Emperor Guillotine and the Gargoyle Gang!) adorned in elaborate costumes, rubber suits and make-up, with miniatures, explosions and machine-gun battles to match. In addition to the allure of its mod-mecha production design, the true heart of the series is the powerful bond between young Johnny Sokko (played by the charismatic Mitsunobu Kaneko) and his heroic giant robot, a seemingly skyscraper-sized automaton (with King Tut stylings). Together, they save Japan and the world — but at a tragic cost that no doubt left more than a few pint-sized viewers with a reluctant tear or two. Join us for this special screening of the Japanese cult TV classic that inspired the name of Giant Robot magazine! Preceded by an episode of the anime adventures of space age-robot Gigantor. —Mark Quigley, John H. Mitchell Television Curator Location: Billy Wilder Theater

Join us for a free screening of the film unseen! This screening will be hosted by Dr. Lauren Clark and Keris Jän Myrick as the culminating event concluding their yearlong partnership for the Heumann Community Partnerships Lab where they focus on exploring the climate of California’s mental health service policies and the need for intersectionality to be considered in psychiatric care. The event will be moderated by Dr. Clark and Keris Jän Myrick and will include a discussion with director Set Hernandez and protagonist Pedro. The film follows the life of Pedro – an aspiring social worker who is blind and an undocumented immigrant – as he faces political restrictions to his college degree, secure a job as a healthcare provider, and support his family. As he ?nally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Through experimental cinematography and sound, unseen reimagines a cinema accessible for blind/low vision audiences, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.
