@ As a first-generation immigrant, career coach Ricky Koo was taught to work hard, stay humble and let results speak. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: You can be great at your job and still be misunderstood, overlooked or underestimated. In this webinar, Ricky Koo—a first-generation immigrant who rose through the ranks to become a corporate executive before building his own professional coaching business— breaks down what actually shapes how you’re perceived at work, and how to take control of your professional narrative without being fake, loud or political in ways that feel misaligned. This isn’t about self-promotion. It’s about self-definition. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to: • Define your professional brand clearly—so others stop guessing your value or mislabeling your intent • Advocate for yourself without feeling awkward or “bragging”, even if you’ve been taught to keep your head down • Navigate workplace dynamics with confidence, instead of pretending they don’t exist (because ignoring them is a strategy—and usually a costly one) • Stay grounded in your worth during high-pressure moments, so stress, feedback or hierarchy don’t shake how you show up Regardless of your career level or what industry you work in, this session can help you develop your skills in self advocacy and intentional branding, refine your voice and create lasting impact. ### [Advising Communities of Excellence (ACE)](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/advising-communities-of-excellence-ace/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Join the Hammer Museum, AMBOS, and Heart of LA for a special Art Lab event featuring Markings project artist Jackie Amézquita. This bilingual community workshop invites you to participate in a hands-on weaving activity rooted in techniques passed down through generations of Indigenous communities originating from pueblos originarios, cantones, and aldeas across Mexico and Central America. Inspired by the cultural fabric and traditional knowledge embedded in the Markings oral history and public project, lead artist Jackie Amézquita will guide participants through this interactive experience by sharing techniques, inspiration, and the stories behind this sustainable art form that recognizes handwork as a way of preserving ancestral memory. Alongside the workshop, AMBOS will curate an interactive installation on natural dyes and weaving, offering a closer look at the materials and processes behind this practice. A curated playlist by the Central American Sound Archive (CASA) will set the tone for an afternoon of making, sharing, and connection. This program is organized in conjunction with the closing weekend of Several Eternities in a Day: Form in the Age of Living Materials. All ages welcome.

Join artists, scholars, curators, and cultural practitioners for a day of thought-provoking conversations inspired by Several Eternities in a Day: Form in the Age of Living Materials. Through keynote presentations and a panel discussion, the symposium explores how contemporary artists engage with living materials and the political, epistemological, and practical questions these practices raise. The panel discussion will examine topics including the conservation of artworks that continue to change over time, questions of ownership and custodianship regarding contemporary art collections, curatorial practices involving ceremonial and organic materials, and the evolving relationships between artists, institutions, and the living materials they engage. Bringing together perspectives from artistic and curatorial practice, anthropology, philosophy, and the sciences, the symposium invites a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue on the implications of living materials in contemporary art.

Place Is the Space is a four-hour immersive performance experience combining live jazz improvisation, theatrical storytelling and multimedia design inspired by Sun Ra’s philosophy and his film Space Is the Place. The work functions as both a concert and an experiential ritual where musicians, performers, visual elements and audience members collectively shape the space into a place. Metaphorically building the vehicle that Sun Ra aspired towards, expressing Afrofuturistic themes of transcendence, liberation and joy. This cosmic jam session culminates in the audience crowning a ""New Sun Ra,"" who leads the full audience on a pilgrimage to the Hammer Museum for one final performance, where everyone is invited to play along. Presented in conjunction with the Hammer Museum’s current exhibition SPACE IS THE PLACE, which frames “space” as a conceptual framework inspired by the works and views of experimental jazz artist Sun Ra.
