The intersection between climate change and art history opens new pathways for understanding how visual and material culture mediates human relationships to the natural world. This year's Alan Templeton Colloquium in Art History will feature art historians Andrew Patrizio and Alan C. Braddock in conversation on March 6 from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art.

Dylan Mulder is an award-winning industrial designer, lecturer, consultant and digital fabrication expert whose work encompasses product design, feature films and wearable technology. Mulder will give a talk titled “Weaving Heritage and High Tech: From Wearables to Movie Magic” on May 15 at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art.

In "Rules of Play," the UC Davis Spring Dance Concert for 2025, choreographers and dancers will present work aimed at helping audiences reflect on which "rules" of life benefit society and which may need to be revised or upended. The program is curated by Doria E. Charlson, visiting professor of theatre and dance, and showcases new works developed and performed by undergraduate students.

The flowers are in bloom, the sun is starting to stay out and, with the start of the spring quarter, comes many events throughout the College of Letters and Science. From lectures and workshops to music, art shows and tea gatherings, there is something to learn, see and do wherever you go in Davis this month.
