| 6:00 PM | Talk: A Taste of Beauty Antique African spoons as vessels of history and aesthetic beauty Please join us for a captivating evening showcasing local author and African art collector Richard Ulevitch and his book "A Taste of Beauty: Spoons of Africa" from the Collection of Richard Ulevitch. Come learn about the extraordinary artistry and cultural significance of African spoons depicted in this captivating book. This beautifully crafted book explores how these masterfully carved utensils transcend their practical purpose to become profound expressions of artistic excellence and cultural identity. Stunning photography and detailed analysis reveal the intricate designs, symbolic meanings, and historical contexts of these remarkable artifacts. This comprehensive work illuminates the sophisticated artistic traditions of African craftspeople while exploring the intersection of functionality and aesthetic beauty. Ulevitch has collected African spoons for over 30 years, dating primarily from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 2025, the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento mounted an exhibition of the collection, the most comprehensive display of these objects to date. Ulevitch is a professor emeritus at Scripps Research where he served for over 50 years and his research transformed our understanding of the immune system.

| Talk: The Underground Railroad That Ran Into Mexico On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas and delivered the news that enslaved people were finally free, more than two months after the Civil War had already ended. That day became Juneteenth. But decades before that announcement was ever made, a community of freedom seekers had already crossed the Rio Grande and built a new life in Mexico rather than wait for America to catch up. This Juneteenth, WorldBeat Cultural Center invites you to go deeper into the holiday’s roots. Join Chief Thomi Perryman for a visual presentation that connects the spirit of Juneteenth to one of its most extraordinary living legacies: the Mascogos of Nacimiento de los Negros, an Afro-Mexican community in Coahuila, Mexico that has celebrated Juneteenth for over 150 years and never stopped. They call it Día de los Negros. Every June 19th, the Mascogos gather with music, dance, and la cabalgata, a thundering 20-mile parade of horseback riders that moves through the Mexican landscape as a living declaration: we remember, and we are still here. Who are the Mascogos? Their story begins with the Black Seminoles, a people born from the alliance between freedom-seeking Africans and Native American nations during the Seminole Wars, one of the longest and most fiercely fought conflicts in American history. When Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 under President Vicente Guerrero (himself a man of African descent), the Rio Grande became a river of liberation. Thousands crossed south, not north, choosing freedom on their own terms. Chief Thomi Perryman will trace the visionary leadership of John Horse, known in Mexico as Juan Caballo, who guided Black Seminoles and Native Americans out of Indian Territory in present day Oklahoma all the way into Mexico, where they planted roots that remain to this day. With only a few hundred Mascogos surviving today, their continued celebration of Juneteenth is not just tradition. It is testimony. This Juneteenth, discover a chapter of the story that has been kept alive south of the border for generations. Come and witness what freedom looks like when a community refuses to let it be forgotten.

| 7:30 PM | Music: Lernazang Ensemble Experience the living pulse of Armenian folk culture through a captivating performance by Lernazang Ensemble, a collective of musicians, dancers, and ethnomusicologists dedicated to preserving and reimagining Armenian music and dance. Featuring the evocative sounds of duduk, oud, dhol, and voice, alongside Armenian dance, the ensemble brings to life the music and movement of Western Armenia (Anatolia) and the Southern Caucasus. Their approach aims to revitalize Armenian folk heritage by blending deep cultural research with striking artistic expression. Lernazang is a nonprofit organization, cultural collective, and performance ensemble based in Los Angeles. Their mission is to decolonize Armenian dance and music aesthetics while strengthening Armenian cultural heritage in the diaspora. Founded in 2017, Lernazang provides community dance classes, workshops, and performances throughout the Los Angeles area. Performing in the Armenian azgagrakan style, Lernazang merges critical academic inquiry and ethnographic research with intergenerational transmission in order to reshape Armenian identity in the post-genocide diaspora. Through an artistic approach that is grounded in both historical perspective and contemporary critique, Lernazang’s music and dance grapple with current social issues while enriching the cultural landscape of LA.

| 7:30 PM | Book Talk: Safar Safar: Finding Home, History, and Culture through Punjabi Food in the American West follows the journey of South Asian refugees, immigrants, and their children-in particular, Sikhs, Jats, and Muslims-who moved to the southwestern states of America over centuries as farmers, truck drivers, restaurant owners, and dhaba/diner stall cooks. An expedition in search of the asli-or real Punjabi food-Madhushree Ghosh explores how their food traveled from pre-partition British India to now, while weaving in her own immigrant journey as a graduate student to America in 1993, her quest to find home through the food of her Bengali refugee parents, and the physical journey she embarked on to visit the Punjabi communities in California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Focusing on four Punjabi women, each a part of a different immigration wave of South Asia to the American West, Ghosh highlights the food and recipes they brought with them that connect them to their pasts. Safar shares stories of displacement, discrimination, community, and hope, while shedding light on immigrant journeys and the true meaning of home, comfort food, and what constitutes a "true Punjabi" meal. Featuring essential recipes, this is a poignant reflection on what it means to find home and identity through food and culture as an immigrant to the United States.

| 5:00 PM | Food: Chinese Pulled Noodles In this hands-on class, students will learn the art of traditional Chinese pulled noodles (lā miàn) alongside the preparation of a versatile “mother sauce” that forms the backbone of countless noodle dishes. Participants will explore dough development, gluten structure, and the rhythmic pulling technique that transforms a simple mixture of flour, water, and salt into long, elastic strands of noodles. The class culminates in assembling a complete dish, pairing freshly pulled noodles with a deeply flavored, adaptable sauce. Chinese pulled noodles trace their origins back over 4,000 years, with early evidence found during the Han Dynasty. Lā miàn, meaning “pulled noodles,” became especially prominent in Northern China, where wheat-based foods dominate. Over time, noodle-making evolved into both a culinary craft and a performance art, with skilled chefs stretching dough into hundreds of strands in a matter of seconds. The concept of a “mother sauce” reflects a broader Chinese cooking philosophy: mastering foundational sauces allows for endless variation across regional cuisines.

| 7:00 PM | Book Talk: Daughters of the Sun and Moon Warwick's and USD’s College of Arts and Sciences and Humanities Center present Lisa See as she discusses her new book, Daughters of the Sun and Moon. Lisa See is the New York Times bestselling author of Lady Tan's Circle of Women, The Island of Sea Women, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Peony in Love, Shanghai Girls, China Dolls, and Dreams of Joy, which debuted at #1. She is also the author of On Gold Mountain, which tells the story of her Chinese American family's settlement in Los Angeles. See was the recipient of the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Association of Southern California and the Historymaker's Award from the Chinese American Museum. She was also named National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women. In 1870, three Chinese women arrive in the small, dusty, and violent pueblo of Los Angeles. Dove, the bound-footed daughter of an imperial scholar, is entrancing and innocent. These characteristics should bring her great rewards, beginning with her arranged marriage to a much older merchant. Petal, the big-footed daughter of peasants, has grown up hungry and with dirt between her toes. In a moment of desperation, Petal's father sells her to buy money for rice seed, and she is loaded onto a ship to the Gold Mountain—America—where she is once again sold. Moon is married to a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She is educated, speaks fluent English, and has been endowed with a face of great beauty, yet her failed footbinding as a child has left her with a limp that lessens her value in the eyes of many. Each woman has her own desires. Dove wants to love and be loved, Petal desires freedom, and Moon seeks justice. Together they face a larger society that wishes them not one ounce of good will. Anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in Los Angeles, and this eventually leads to the Night of Horrors during which all three women are challenged in ways they could not have imagined. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak, they must use their bravery, endurance, and ability to "eat bitterness" to discover their voices, find freedom, and connect through solace and friendship. Together they are daughters of the sun and moon.

| Film: Happy as Lazzaro It’s summer at Inviolata, an isolated rural estate, where an extended family of tobacco farmers toil under the rule of a domineering marchesa, and where the handsome and hard-working Lazzaro (captivating newcomer Adriano Tardiolo), a young man imbued with a saint-like innocence, is alternately adored and taken advantage of. When the marchesa’s self-absorbed son, Tancredi (Luca Chikovani) first visits the fields, he senses an opportunity, and embroils Lazzaro in an audacious plan that spirals out of control and throws the estate into a complicated chaos that takes everybody by surprise. Channelling the spirit of Pasolini, Rohrwacher’s fascinating, deeply affecting parable casts an ethereal, wondrous spell, and confirms her status as one of the most inventive and compelling voices in contemporary Italian cinema with this utterly transporting film experience.
