  This Matinee performance of Madame Butterfly acknowledges that many classic works in the operatic repertoire depict racial and gender stereotypes, and Madame Butterfly portrays inaccurate representations of Asian culture. The presentation of this opera has been prepared in consultation with the Asian Opera Alliance, which encourages companies to continue producing these works with care and appropriate input to examine, acknowledge and mitigate potential harm.

  Sponsored by the UCLA Emeriti Association and the UCLA Retirees Association.

  The Emeriti and Retirees Associations invite you to an important UCLA Conversation with Dr. Judith F. Baca, a UCLA Professor Emeritus and one of America’s leading visual artists, who has been creating outstanding public art for four decades. 

  

  A portion of "The Great Wall of Los Angeles"
  

  
  

  A portion of “La Memoria de la Tierra: UCLA.”
  

  Her powerful murals bring art to where people live and work. In 1974, Dr. Baca founded the City of Los Angeles’ first mural program, which produced more than 400 murals and employed thousands of local participants, and evolved into an arts organization known as the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC), which produces, preserves and promotes activist and socially relevant artwork, for which she serves as CEO and artistic director. Dr. Baca’s public artworks focus on revealing and reconciling diverse peoples’ struggles for their rights and reflect the lives and concerns of populations that have been historically disenfranchised, including women, the working poor, youth, the elderly and immigrant communities, throughout Los Angeles, nationally and internationally. Her works include the Great Wall of Los Angeles, located in San Fernando Valley — a mural that spans half a mile and is a work in progress, engaging another generation of youth. Her artwork gives voice to the voiceless and creates art of public memory that depicts the story of America. She was a senior professor in Chicana and Chicano and Central American studies and World Art and Cultures Departments from 1980 until 2018.

  There will be a several doorprizes of books of Prof's Baca's works "Judith F. Baca" by Anna Indych-Lopez. You must be present  and have a winning ticket to to receive          

                     Dr. Baca                                       Dr. Becerra

  Judith Francisca Baca is an American artist, activist, and professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies world arts. Baca has been a relentless advocate for public art in Los Angeles for decades. In the 1970s, she initiated the Citywide Mural Project under the auspices of the L.A. Parks and Recreation Department. 

  She is the co-founder and artistic director of the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) in Venice, California. Baca is the director of the mural project that created the Great Wall of Los Angeles, which is the largest communal mural project in the world.

  This conversation will be led by Dr. Rosina Becerra, professor emerita of Social Work and Ethnomusicology, whose research focuses on policy issues in health and mental health, particularly child welfare, and whose recent research documents the relationship between the social work profession and ethnic communities, showing why and how ethnic minority agencies have played a pivotal role in their communities by filling the gaps left by mainstream social service agencies. She is the principal investigator for a State of California Department of Social Services five-year study of welfare reform in California. Dr. Becerra has held many senior positions, including UCLA’s Vice Provost of Faculty Diversity and Development; Associate Vice Chancellor for Faculty Diversity; Director and Chair of the UCLA Cesar Chavez Center for Interdisciplinary Instruction in Chicano/a Studies; Dean of the UCLA School of Social Welfare. She served as past chair of the board at SPARC (Social and Public Art Resource Center) in Los Angeles.

  A Home That Cares is a boutique company helping families figure out the best settings for seniors who no longer want or can manage living on their own.

  Bonnie Davis, the owner, has been in the field for the past 17 years. She was the top eldercare advisor in the country for the nation’s largest senior referral company and received more referrals from professionals and colleagues in her field than any other advisor in the company.

  Bonnie has assisted well over one thousand families and is now happy to educate you and make you more knowledgeable about the choices available.

  She brings her experience to help families simplify finding residential care with a minimum of anxiety and the best results. She helps her clients assess their situation by asking many questions - listening carefully, providing information, and discussing options.
