The Fowler Museum invites you to the launch of Remain in Light: Visions of Homeland and Diaspora, edited by Gassia Armenian. This powerful collection brings together photography and poetry that illuminate the contemporary Armenian experience both in the homeland and in Los Angeles, where one of the largest Armenian communities in the world resides. The book showcases the perspectives of three Los Angeles-based, diaspora-born Armenian photographers—Sossi Madzounian, Ara Mgrdichian, and Ara Oshagan—whose work captures the evolving social fabric of Armenian life, from survival and memory in the homeland to the immigrant experience in the diaspora. Their photographs are paired with evocative poetry by Tina Demirdjian, Arminé Iknadossian, Arthur Kayzakian, Shahé Mankerian, and Raffi Joe Wartanian. This artistic collaboration reflects on Armenian migrations to California, from the late 1800s through waves following the 1915 genocide, Soviet-era displacement, and more recent movement from the Middle East and Iran. Each generation has worked to preserve and reinterpret cultural traditions, language, and identity across new geographies. Join us for an afternoon of poetry reading and Armenian music, including a premier of a musical interlude of Armenian melodies performed by Garo Hussenjian on his hand pan. Books will be available for purchase and signing for $45. Light refreshments to follow.

Faculty featured in this program will share how they have partnered with undocu communities in their research to center their needs and experiences and resist systemic injustices. Faculty will also discuss the key implications of their research, particularly as it relates to the 2025 sociopolitical climate. The program features Dr. Kevin Escudero ‘09 from Brown University and Dra. Cinthya Salazar from UCLA. This event can be attended in person at the James West Alumni Center or online via Zoom.

Agueda Martinez: Our People, Our Country U.S., 1977 This Academy Award–nominated short documentary offers a luminous portrait of 80-year-old Navajo great-grandmother Agueda Martinez, whose life is deeply rooted in the land of New Mexico. Sepia-toned family photos paired with Agueda’s confident voice-over ground the film as we witness intimate footage of her plowing fields, harvesting crops, tending livestock and weaving intricate serape blankets late into the night. Agueda's insightful reflections on herbs, spirituality and ancestry reveal generational knowledge sustained by a profound connection to place and ritual. This quietly powerful work stands as a timeless celebration of steadfast stewardship of sacred land.—Public Programmer Beandrea July DCP, color, 16 min. Director: Esperanza Vasquez. Water Ritual #1: An Urban Rite of Purification U.S., 1979 Created with performer Yolanda Vidato, this short is a pioneering work of Black feminist and experimental filmmaking. Shot in 16mm black-and-white in an area of Watts cleared for the unbuilt I-105 freeway and later abandoned, the film follows Milanda (Vidato) through symbolic, improvisational acts that layer African, Caribbean and urban Los Angeles imagery. Structured as a ritual for filmmaker Barbara McCullough’s “participant-viewers,” it honors Black and Third World women’s beauty and self-possession while also confronting how poverty and systemic neglect shape the landscape. As the film explores themes of resilience and psychic survival, it transforms a site of urban blight into consecrated ground.—Jacqueline Stewart 35mm, color, 6 min. Director: Barbara McCoullough. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funded with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Avant-Garde Masters Grant Program funded by The Film Foundation. Wong Sinsaang U.S., 1971 Opening with the hiss of steam machines and the chatter of white customers in his father’s Silver Lake dry cleaning business, this short contrasts stereotype with intimacy, revealing Mr. Wong’s rich inner life. By narrating his own conflicted feelings of admiration and frustration and juxtaposing the grind of the laundromat — where Mr. Wong endures daily humiliations — with serene images of him practicing tai chi and writing poetry, Eddie Wong crafts a bittersweet document of immigrant labor and his father’s search for dignity and prosperity.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett DCP, b&w, 12 min. Director: Eddie Wong. I Don’t Think I Said Much U.S., 1975 This tender portrait of Japanese American gardener Elmer Uchida blends documentary and fiction, opening with still photographs and disembodied voices before unfolding in slow-motion scenes of his daily work. Archival material, scripted commentary and intimate voice-over enrich the portrait, while UCLA Ethno-Communications filmmaker Jeff Furumura transforms the rhythms of gardening and Suiseki (Japanese rock appreciation) into poetic meditations on dignity and beauty. The result is a film that honors the quiet artistry and depth of a life too often overlooked.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett DCP, b&w, color, 16 min. Director: Jeff Furumura. The Horse U.S., 1973 In this film based on writer-director Charles Burnett’s unpublished short story, a young Black boy gently comforts a horse fated to be killed on a remote California ranch. As three white men look on and hurl racial slurs at his absent father, tension builds. When the father (played by fellow UCLA Ethno-Communications alum Larry Clark) arrives, Burnett, exercising noticeable restraint, captures a fleeting moment of tenderness before shifting to the grim task at hand. Through the boy’s gaze, we feel the weight of witnessing the dehumanizing labor his father’s generation endured under white employers.—guest programmer Josslyn Luckett 35mm, color, 14 min. Director/Screenwriter: Charles Burnett. Restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Funded in part with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Sleepwalker U.S., 1971 This quiet, dreamlike study of solitude and the aftermath of political struggle follows an Asian American typist through long bus rides and monotonous office work. Her exhaustion is evident in aching hands and downcast glances. When she skips work for a wandering walk, fleeting moments of play and memory emerge. Shot on 16mm in black-and-white with layered imagery and a striking soundscape, the film draws on director Laura Ho Fineman’s real-life activism

This film series celebrates the radical legacy of UCLA’s Ethno-Communications Program (1969–1973), a pioneering affirmative action initiative launched by Elyseo Taylor, the School of Theater, Film and Television’s first Black faculty member. Designed to train Black, Asian American, Latina/o/x and Native American students to use film as a tool for social change, the program paired filmmaking with journalism, mass communications and community engagement. The alumni in this film program created works that redefined independent media in Los Angeles, offering expansive, socially engaged portraits of multiracial America.
