Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Arts, the FMCAC Board of Directors, and individual contributions to the Fort Mason Fund. The exhibition at the AD&A Museum is made possible by Teiger Foundation. Generous support is additionally provided by Isabelle Clara Greene, FASLA.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Jackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the AD&A Museum Council.

It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Jackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the AD&A Museum Council.

The Banana Factory by Julia Izumi
directed by Kate Bergstrom
4:00 pm
The Banana Factory is a play that investigates activism and questions how we protect children in this current world where risks must be taken to make change.

The Rink at the End of the World by Megan Tabaque
directed by Risa Brainin
8:00pm
When an entire country club of athletes get taken out by a rogue bout of measles, a motley crew of mall-rink figure skaters find themselves on a flight to Croatia to compete in the World Synchronized Figure Skating Championships as first-alternates. As they train, complain, destroy, and rebuild each other on their quest to achieve the impossible, something even darker looms on the edges of the global stage: a nuclear arms race.

Join us after each reading for a Q&A with the playwright

Free Admission | Please RSVP
ETC at the New Vic
33 W. Victoria Street
Santa Barbara, CA

MORE INFO:

Long before the lights go up on opening night, new plays are tested in rooms filled with actors, directors, playwrights, and audiences willing to experience a story while it's still taking shape.

On Thursday, August 27, LAUNCH PAD invites the Santa Barbara community to be part of that process during its 2026 Summer Reading Series, featuring new works by playwrights Julia Izumi and Megan Tabaque. This year's free public event will be presented in partnership with Ensemble Theatre Company (ETC) at The New Vic Theatre, giving audiences a rare opportunity to experience two new plays before they receive full productions.

Unlike a traditional performance, a staged reading focuses on the text itself. With scripts in hand and minimal staging, actors bring a new play to life while the playwright continues to refine the work. It's an opportunity for audiences to experience theater at one of its most creative stages—and to hear directly from the artists about how a play evolves from first draft to opening night.

LAUNCHPAD.theaterdance.ucsb.edu

This summer, for the first time ever, LAUNCH PAD's playwrights will be in residence at Ensemble Theatre Company (ETC) as part of a budding partnership supporting new play development and student enrichment.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Jackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the AD&A Museum Council.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Arts, the FMCAC Board of Directors, and individual contributions to the Fort Mason Fund.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems.

This webinar is for anyone interested in learning about the latest research on anxiety and panic treatment and the three key steps to breaking free from the cycle of panic and avoidance. Whether you know someone who experiences anxiety, have experienced it yourself, or would simply like to learn more, this workshop is open to everyone.

In this presentation, ASAP will host clinical psychologist Dr. Danny Zamir and postdoctoral clinician Dr. Mackenzie Zisser from the Anxiety and Panic Disorders Clinic of Santa Barbara. They will share practical tools to help participants outsmart anxiety and panic symptoms by interrupting the thought patterns and behaviors that fuel the cycle of panic. They will also explain the evolutionary basis of the panic response and demonstrate how this understanding can be used to reduce and even eliminate panic symptoms over time.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Jackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the AD&A Museum Council.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Jackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the AD&A Museum Council.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

About UC Santa Barbara's Naked Shakes:

Naked Shakes believes in the transformation of the actor and the space, along with the imaginative ability of the audience. Each play is presented clearly and directly so that the audience inhabits the imaginative world of the play through Shakespeare’s language. The barren physical theater space is very important to the Naked Shakes concept; it takes on the identity of whatever locale or particular piece of poetic language is described, and yet always reminds the audience they are in a theater. When Prospero in The Tempest describes “the great Globe itself,” he is not only referring to the entire Earth, but also the “Globe” Theater – Shakespeare’s theater. That duality is what Naked Shakes is all about.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning Naked Shakes has performed at UCSB and transported productions to Southwest Shakespeare Company at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, AZ, the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles, Westmont College and Center Stage in downtown Santa Barbara. Past Naked Shakes productions include: the premiere of The Death of Kings, a two-part adaptation of Shakespeare’s history plays, Hamlet, King Lear, Much Ado about Nothing, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, The Winter’s Tale, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Measure for Measure, The Merchant of Venice, and The Tempest.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara.

About UC Santa Barbara's Naked Shakes:

Naked Shakes believes in the transformation of the actor and the space, along with the imaginative ability of the audience. Each play is presented clearly and directly so that the audience inhabits the imaginative world of the play through Shakespeare’s language. The barren physical theater space is very important to the Naked Shakes concept; it takes on the identity of whatever locale or particular piece of poetic language is described, and yet always reminds the audience they are in a theater. When Prospero in The Tempest describes “the great Globe itself,” he is not only referring to the entire Earth, but also the “Globe” Theater – Shakespeare’s theater. That duality is what Naked Shakes is all about.

The critically acclaimed, award-winning Naked Shakes has performed at UCSB and transported productions to Southwest Shakespeare Company at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, AZ, the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles, Westmont College and Center Stage in downtown Santa Barbara. Past Naked Shakes productions include: the premiere of The Death of Kings, a two-part adaptation of Shakespeare’s history plays, Hamlet, King Lear, Much Ado about Nothing, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Macbeth, The Winter’s Tale, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Measure for Measure, The Merchant of Venice, and The Tempest.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Arts, the FMCAC Board of Directors, and individual contributions to the Fort Mason Fund. The exhibition at the AD&A Museum is made possible by Teiger Foundation. Generous support is additionally provided by Isabelle Clara Greene, FASLA.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Arts, the FMCAC Board of Directors, and individual contributions to the Fort Mason Fund. The exhibition at the AD&A Museum is made possible by Teiger Foundation. Generous support is additionally provided by Isabelle Clara Greene, FASLA.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Jackie Amézquita: Gemidos de la Tierra is organized by the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara and is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of the AD&A Museum Council.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists, as well as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly transferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs, collages, works on paper, artist books, printed matter, and ephemera documenting Sherk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s and 1980s.

The AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year initiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027), which celebrates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97), the first international magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feature in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of the exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied disciplinary interests.

Bonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz, AD&A Museum Assistant Director and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Arts, the FMCAC Board of Directors, and individual contributions to the Fort Mason Fund. The exhibition at the AD&A Museum is made possible by Teiger Foundation. Generous support is additionally provided by Isabelle Clara Greene, FASLA.

On November 1 as part of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, Amézquita will publicly update the work with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died, combined with masa, salt, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural, ancestral, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasure. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity of those whose lives have been reduced to statistics, offering a stark contrast to the cold, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death within carceral systems. In this light, the AD&A Museum shares this history for collective witnessing as caretakers of their memory.

Amézquita is 2026 Artist in Residence of Ecological Practice at the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration in partnership with the AD&A Museum at UC Santa Barbara. During her residency, Amézquita will conduct fieldwork on campus as well as at the Santa Cruz Island Reserve to learn about native ecosystems, plant pollination, and soil remediation. Amézquita’s research will inform a newly commissioned work as part of this exhibition presentation at the AD&A Museum.
