SUMMARY:Reskilling Expo 
DESCRIPTION:      Reskilling Expo at the MAH  Educational Forum Revives Home Skills\, Encourages Traditional Living PracticesAdmission is $5 to $25\, based on a sliding scale.      ReskillingSchedule    The Reskilling Expo regularly offers low-cost sustainable living-skills education to Santa Cruz County residents in order to strengthen local resilience. Each workshop is designed to teach hands-on skills that participants can easily implement. Effective garden practices\, home maintenance skills\, traditional crafts and efficient water use are all on the roster for May 20. The one-hour-and-twenty-minute sessions allow for in-depth learning. Find the complete class schedule at http://reskillingexpo.org.                                            "The Reskilling Expo is a knowledge commons where information\, skills and talents are freely shared. Our aim is to respond to local needs\," says Reskilling Expo Director Bonnie Linden. "For example\, water use is currently a charged and divisive local issue. So we've asked permaculture designer and water conservation instructor LeAnne Ravinale to present sessions on Water Catchment and Greywater."We're pleased that both Michael and Lesley Tierra will be teaching on May 20. Michael will teach Growing and Using Medicinal Herbs and Lesley\, Cooking with Medicinal Herbs. Highly regarded in their field\, the Tierras have all the attributes of perfect Reskilling Teachers: talent\, generosity and vision."We're also delighted that Deepa Natarajan returns once again to teach Natural Plant Dyes for Textiles. Deepa comes to us from Permacouture Institute in San Francisco\, which works with hands-on\, grass roots projects to promote sustainability re textiles."Natarajan runs the Permacouture Institute's Seeds to Sew program which partners with Seed Libraries to raise awareness of dye-producing plants. She has travelled many times to South India to learn traditional practices of food\, farming\, performing arts and textiles."The Reskilling Expo engages hidden talents and reclaims lost abilities\,” says Nina Simon\, Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. "This syncs perfectly with the goals of the MAH to help people connect with the cultural heritage of our community. We're excited by the steady growth of the Expo\, its projects and its mission to preserve and present historical skills like Drop Spindling and Peg Looming that might otherwise be lost."As well as the forums at the MAH\, the Reskilling Expo has recently established two resilience-building outreach projects: the Santa Cruz Grows Seed Library and TimeBank Santa Cruz. "Seed saving is a time-honored tradition that nurtures locally adapted plant varieties and strengthens biodiversity\," says Linden. Workshops on Seed Starting and Plant Propagation are offered at each Expo.    TimeBanking is a system of reciprocal exchange that builds local resilience as members trade services hour-for-hour. There will be a TimeBank Orientation Presentation and a Mixer for members and prospective members at the May 20 Expo.                      The Reskilling Expo is a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit fiscally sponsored by the William James Association.

SUMMARY:Inside Look: Ancestor Bags Talk in partnership with the Santa Cruz Handweaver’s Guild 
DESCRIPTION:Inside Look: Ancestor Bags     Talk in partnership with the Santa Cruz Handweaver’s Guild    Australian-born sculptor weaver Sue Hiley Harris will talk about the ideas and inspiration behind her recent project\, Ancestor Bags\, an installation of thirty suspended abstract works\, each representing one of her direct British and Australian ancestors over four generations.          Sue lives in Britain and was inspired after seeing an Aboriginal string bag in Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum with an old label indicating that it had been used 'for carrying the bones of dead relatives.' It was similar to one sent to her by her mother. The details of the weaving\, dyeing and construction of each work - as well as the materials used - convey coded information about members of her family. Shown together\, the hangings are a unique visual exploration of ancestry.

Watch a massive standard gauge steam engine from the 1920s start up-headlight flashing\, drive wheels spinning\, smoke flowing from the smoke stack and of course a mighty whistle. On another track\, see a remote controlled modern production of an O gauge diesel with all the latest electronic features. Hear the roar as the diesel starts up\, the blast of the mighty horn\, the squeal of the brakes at the train slows for a curve and the chatter between the engineer and the control tower. Toy trains have come a long way over the last century\, but new or old\, the emphasis is on fun!  The exhibit is open Thursday\, December 22\, 2011 - Friday\, January 6\, 2012 from 11am-5pm.  We are closed Mondays\, Christmas Day and New Years Day.

SUMMARY:Everything Which Is... Yes Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Come to the MAH for a free screening of Everything Which Is... Yes\, the 60-minute documentary that won the Audience Award for Locally-Produced Work at the 2011 Santa Cruz Film Festival. John Barret's moving film chronicles local documentarian David Hoffman's recovery from a devastating fire that destroyed his home\, his personal film archive and the treasured collections he had built over 45 years.    Determined to "make something good out of something bad"\, Hoffman began to videotape himself as a record for his young sons of what the loss meant to him. He takes us on a tour of his burned property and the result is an inspiring glimpse into his life and times\, his distinct way of seeing the world and his remarkable career as a pioneer of documentary filmmaking\, featuring stunning clips from many of his unique and important films. Most importantly\, Hoffman's stated philosophy leaves us with an uplifting sense of perseverance and a strong testament to the notion that we all have the capacity to make something good out of something bad.    The film will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker and the subject of the film. View the trailer here.    This screening is a precursor to a Tannery Arts Lecture Series event on Thursday\, November 17 at 7pm on the future of independent film in Santa Cruz.
