SUMMARY:We Are the Land: A History of Native California
DESCRIPTION:Before there was such a thing as “California\,” there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny\, the Gold Rush\, and settler colonial society drew maps\, displaced Indigenous People\, and reshaped the land\, but they did not make California. Rather\, the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind\, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. Beginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians\, We Are the Land recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood—paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans\, Spanish missions\, Mexican secularization\, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood\, genocide\, efforts to reclaim land\, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today’s casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history\, We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings\, as well as for casual readers and policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by William J. Bauer Jr.\, enrolled citizen of the Round Valley Indian Tribes\, author\, and Professor of History at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas \n

SUMMARY:PICTURE • BOOK • TALK
DESCRIPTION:As a photographer in the fifty-seventh year of his serious effort\, David Wing will describe how his camera found its subjects\, what his working mind is like today\, and how his accumulated work has “aged” in his intellect and in his heart. \nAccompanied by a large number of slides\, Wing will talk in detail about how his pictures come to light\, and how his many recent books came to be. \nWing’s talk will try to show how his editing seems to work – he notes retrospective relationships among his photographs\, and as these become more apparent\, they seem to find independent coherence. As this happens\, sequences\, exhibitions\, and the monographs take shape. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by David Wing\, photographer and teacher

SUMMARY:Neon: A Light History
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible that (once again) everything we know is wrong? Well\, in regards to the history of neon\, this may well be the case. Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein have penned a brief\, but concise history of the neon sign beginning at the beginning\, and covering scandals\, murder\, fascists\, and forgotten inventors. A full-color\, lavishly illustrated electrical bodice ripper\, aficionados of neon will find this an indispensable “bible” to the history of their favorite collision of art and commerce. \nRevealing neon signs as active agents in sweeping cultural\, economic\, and political changes nationwide\, DeLyser and Greenstein introduce readers to a compelling cast of characters\, many of whom\, they show\, continue to keep neon vibrant today. Taking readers inside the signs themselves\, the authors show how each sign\, whether historic or contemporary\, is made by skilled hands—today just as they were over one hundred years ago. \nDrawing from over a decade of in-depth archival and ethnographic research as well as more than four decades of experience in the sign industry\, DeLyser and Greenstein use Los Angeles—not New York or Las Vegas—as focal point\, showing how neon signs have catalyzed urban change\, and how they continue to hold appeal for our changing communities—developing with the automobile and car-and-consumer culture in the twentieth century\, expanding from cities to towns\, and along highways to remote roadside outposts. From the earliest luminous tubing in the 1890s to the artistic creations of today\, from community-funded restorations of historic signs to ordinary-seeming business signs that have become community icons\, DeLyser and Greenstein show how\, just as neon signs lit our past\, they can now light our shared future. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\, and Paul Greenstein\, author and neon light professional

SUMMARY:We are All in it Together: Power of the Press
DESCRIPTION:The saying goes\, “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one” but what if the community’s words could be printed and freely shared…Thea Sizemore of Kavamore Press is doing just that. \nJoin us for an uplifting talk with Thea Sizemore about a social print project that is geared toward elevating the voices of the community. The project began early in the pandemic\, providing an immediate and meaningful social justice service for the general public though protest poster production and distribution. A neighbor gifted a defunct newspaper box which was then up-cycled for the project and “Fresh Prints” Box was born. What happened after that is the beauty of human nature…. connection at a distance\, community growth through the power of the press. \nUsing traditional equipment from the 1900s\, hand set type and ink on paper\, Sizemore has been able to build a new kinda “social media” that is tethered to the rich history of the printing press. Sizemore will show examples of posters\, discuss working methods and most importantly share how interactions with strangers brought light to a dark pandemic period and started a long term art practice. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Thea Sizemore\, letterpress printer\, artist\, and instructor

SUMMARY:Nut Tree: From a California Ranch to a Design\, Food\, and Hospitality Icon
DESCRIPTION:Diane Power Zimmerman will share highlights from her book Nut Tree: From a California Ranch to a Design\, Food\, and Hospitality Icon. As the oldest granddaughter of the founders of a famous northern California roadside destination\, Nut Tree\, Power Zimmerman is uniquely poised to tell the story of a twentieth century icon. \nThe real story begins in 1921\, when newlyweds\, Helen and Bunny (Edward) Power took over a lease on a 150-acre California ranch and disaster struck. A late frost and early heat wave wiped out most of the fruit crop\, and what was left\, could no longer be shipped to the cities in the East. In desperation the couple set up a roadside stand to sell fruit and recapture some profits. They soon realized that American’s love affair with the automobile had just begun. \nHelen and Bunny Power were in the right place and time to start a small farm-based restaurant that grew into a multi-million-dollar entertainment complex thanks to the advent of the automobile. While the history begins with the California Gold Rush\, the main story focuses on the entrepreneurial successes of her family. \nAfter the business closed\, Power Zimmerman began to collect the stories tinged with nostalgia and the vivid memories proffered by fans. Power Zimmerman draws from family records\, letters\, newspaper clippings\, photos\, and the extensive archives of the Vacaville Museum to create a visually stunning book full of tales and photos chronicling the twentieth century. Power Zimmerman reflects on the writing experience and tells how a simple history took on a life of its own. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Diane Power Zimmerman\, author and a fifth-generation member of the founding family of the Nut Tree
