Pale Coast: A Cenotaph is Boz Deseo Garden’s first film, which premiered on August 26, 2022 at Jargon Projects in Chicago. The film’s (anti)narrative drifts through three fictional interview transcripts between Patricia Decker, a former employee of SERRF, and Fran Russell, a reporter for Long Beach Press-Telegram. Framed as performances of irreparably damaged recordings from public archives, the “original” transcript is “re-performed” by actress Zurah Lynn Taylor (as Patricia) and Garden (as Fran). The film takes as its primary speculative grounds SERRF, a Long Beach waste-to-energy incineration facility, and the Khian Sea, a cargo ship contracted to transport and dump Philadelphia’s toxic waste ash in Haiti in 1987. Mythology is interwoven with archival record to interrogate the efficacy of proof, the ethics of archival stewardship and a racialized attachment to a distinction between history and fabulation. This film was directly inspired by the material Garden pulled from the Arthur B. Friedman collection and the Research Materials on Air Pollution in Los Angeles, both available through UCLA Library Special Collections. The former collection consisted of recorded and transcribed interviews and hearings at San Quentin State Prison in the late 1960’s and the latter, an assortment of printed matter on films, organizations and data exposing the harmful effects of the pollutants that hang in the Los Angeles skyline. The film’s primary questions become: what can be recovered or proven if one’s archival research occurs within the heap of ash? Within a substance whose origin has been lost or which was never there to begin with? Or within an ontology that cannot be distinguished from its captivity to an imposed absence. Location: Charles E. Young Research Library, Main Conference Room 11360

This conference will consider both the fin-de-siècle contexts and the worldwide consequences of the three trials involving Oscar Wilde that took place at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) from 3 April 1895 to 25 May 1895. These trials, which arguably constitute the most famous criminal proceedings relating to the state prohibition of male homosexuality, resulted in a brutal two-year sentence for committing acts of gross indecency with other males, for which Wilde suffered solitary confinement with hard labor. "Oscar Wilde, Sexuality, and the State," organized by Professor Joseph Bristow (UCLA English), takes the occasion of Wilde’s courtroom ordeal as a starting-point for understanding not only the growing awareness of queer subcultures during the 1880s and 1890s but also the long shadow that Wilde’s trials cast upon the proscription of same-sex intimacy in many different parts of the world. Location: UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library

TransportationCamp LA is an open venue for sharing and learning about the region’s transportation issues and successes. It aims to be an open, forward-thinking event that brings together people of all facets of the transportation world. TransportationCamp is not a formal conference - rather, as an unconference, it is driven entirely by attendees’ interests and experiences. At TransportationCamp, there is no set agenda prior to the event. Sessions are determined at the beginning of the day and are drawn from proposals and ideas that attendees submit. A session can be any format: a presentation, an open discussion, a demonstration, a panel, or even a group exercise or game. TransportationCamp covers urban transportation issues in all their forms, including economic, social, public health, and environmental impacts. Session topics in the previous TransportationCamp LA ranged from “Congestion Pricing & Increasing Transit Ridership,” to “Mobility with Kids Under 5,” to “Latest Buzz from Cycle-friendly Cities” and change every year to reflect the latest research and questions of the moment. Have thoughts on mobility and access for carless households in LA, or battery replacement and disposal strategies for transit agencies?
