Brought to you by the Museum of Ventura County in partnership with De Colores Multicultural Folk Arts. Las Posadas, (The Inns in Spanish) is a Latinx traditional holiday that commemorates the biblical journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of lodging and a safe refuge for Mary to give birth to Jesus. After nine days of searching for lodging (Las Posadas are celebrated December 16th through 24th, representing the nine (9) days), an Innkeeper gave Mary and Joseph shelter in a stable as there was no room at the inns. A traditional procession always is refused lodging continuing to other waypoints. This year we will begin with a candlelight procession in memory of those we have lost during the pandemic and have experienced undue hardships. The gathering will start at 6:00 p.m., at the Universalist Utilitarian Church in the heart of historic downtown Santa Paula with Rev. Maddie Sifantus, who will begin with a convocation. The procession will be led by Javier Gómez and Lorenzo Lencho Moraza with traditional Las Posadas music provided by Inlakech Cultural Arts Center and De Colores Music youth groups. Mayor Rev. Jenny Crosswhite of First Christian Church, Elvia Hernandez of Esperanza/Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and Pastor Lupita Alonso of El Buen Pastor Church will participate. Sheet music will be provided in Spanish, courtesy of Javier Gómez, and participants are encouraged to sing along. The walk will end at the Agriculture Museum (approximately 6:50 p.m.) for more singing and music, luminary treat bags for the youth, and a life-size nativity scene.

The COVID-19 pandemic renewed interest in the global history of infectious diseases. This year’s lecture series presented by History Department faculty and other experts focuses on different periods in world history when societies faced pandemics and their consequences.

Cal Lutheran history professor Michaela Reaves, who specializes in American history with an emphasis on socio-cultural history, will address the history of smallpox. Whether the Bard meant “a plague” or “the pox,” both served as a warning of dire results. Smallpox can be traced through history from the mummy of Ramses V up to 1980, when the disease was considered eradicated. Through 3,000 years of contagion, variolation or vaccine, the disease maintained a death rate of 30% and affected both the “Old” and “New” worlds.

Cal Lutheran, the Thousand Oaks Grant R. Brimhall Library and Ventura County Library are sponsoring the free series, and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation provided grant funding. Registration is required.

Although the art world is small and interconnected, it is sometimes difficult to see the connections. Inspired by mutual aid societies that assist community members in need and employing this as a curatorial strategy, adjunct art faculty member Jennifer Vanderpool invited 10 artists to exhibit who, in turn, each invited an artist who then asked another. The project continues to grow like a web as invited artists are inevitably connected to other exhibiting artists.

The works included in “Common Ground” — experimental film, music, comics, paintings, photography, graphic novels and more — question the concept of community. The exhibit explores how we as a communal society engaged in civil contestation can reimagine what might be by addressing the sociopolitical and economic ruptures laid bare by COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement.

A virtual version of this exhibit, including artist interviews and panel discussions, is available at https://bit.ly/3kVWOpp.
