SUMMARY:Works-in-Progress Session: Saihōji’s Moss Garden
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sunhui Choi\, Ph.D. Student\, University of California\, Los Angeles \nHosted by the Early Modern Research Group \nOnline event via Zoom \nSaihōji in Kyoto\, Japan\, is famous for its moss-covered garden and is thus referred to as Kokedera\, meaning “the moss temple.” What if\, however\, the design of the moss garden was not intended when it was originally established? If so\, how and why has Saihōji’s garden become the moss garden that it is today? Based on the perspectives of critical plant studies and ecocriticism\, this work-in-progress session examines how the often-overlooked presence of moss deterritorializes the boundaries of design and inverts the center and periphery of the landscape\, directing it in unpredictable ways during early modern Japan and continuing to do so in the present day. \nSunhui Choi is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Art History at UCLA\, studying the intersection of art\, space\, and ecology. In her doctoral research\, she examines visualized scientific knowledge and ecological sensibility within built environments\, particularly during the Edo period (1603–1868). Her previous works include a thesis on the imagery of birds and flowers as a material transitional trajectory between medieval and early modern East Asia. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Food and Film with Alice Waters: We Are What We Eat
DESCRIPTION:In this edition of Food and Film\, we turn the focus on Alice Waters herself and her globally focused\, locally-driven campaign to change the way we farm\, eat and educate. This loving documentary looks at Waters’ 2023 trip to Japan to meet with local chefs\, farmers and food activists\, in conjunction with the first anniversary of the publication of her book We Are What We Eat–A Slow Food Manifesto in Japan. \nWith its own strong tradition of seasonal cuisine\, Japan has been particularly receptive to Waters’ farm-to-table philosophy and the mutual respect between Waters and the chefs and farmers she meets is evident in every exchange. At the heart of this loving documentary\, however\, is the work of Japanese food activists to bring that philosophy into Japanese classrooms\, an effort modeled after Waters’ Edible Schoolyard program. \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A with chef and restaurateur Alice Waters; Paula Daniels\, Executive Director\, LA County Office of Food Systems; Anna Nakamura Knight\, farmer/partner\, Old Grove Orange; Janet Nagamine\, Hikari Farms; moderated by Erica Lee\, Assistant Director\, UCLA Rothman Family Institute for Food Studies. \nAdmission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one hour before the event. \nThe screening can be paired with a special dinner at Lulu restaurant at the Hammer Museum\, Waters’ latest culinary celebration.
