SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: All the Frost Melts: A Trilingual Reading in Dolgan\, Russian\, and English
DESCRIPTION:This trilingual reading of writings by Indigenous writer Kseniia Bolshakova will include portions from her autobiographical novel All the Frost Melts\, which was recently translated into English after being published in Dolgan and Russian in 2024. It will feature writer Kseniia Bolshakova reading in Dolgan\, linguist Karina Sheifer (UC Santa Barbara) reading in Russian\, and translator Ainsley Morse (UC San Diego) reading in English. The reading also will include imagery from life in the Russian Arctic. This event is being held in conjunction with INT 94LE: Literature and Experience and the longstanding California Graduate Slavic Colloquium\, being held at UCSB for the first time ever on April 18\, 2026. \nKseniia Bolshakova is an Indigenous decolonial writer and a member of the Dolgan Tribal community Yjdyŋa. She was born and raised in the tundra and the village of Popigai in the Russian Arctic. As one of the youngest keepers of the Dolgan language—spoken by only 1000 people—she is deeply committed to preserving her native tongue and traditional knowledge\, as well as advocating for Indigenous rights and social justice. Her debut novel\, Buluus da irer / All The Frost Melts\, was first published in a bilingual Dolgan-Russian edition and presented at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York in 2024. \nKarina Sheifer is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Linguistics at UCSB. Her fieldwork focuses on language contact and change as well as documentation and digitalization of Indigenous languages of Siberia and the Far East\, namely Northern Tungusic (Evenki and Even)\, Siberian Turkic (Dolgan and Yakut)\, and Chukotko-Kamchatkan (Itelmen and Chukchi). Although her main research interest is in linguistics\, an integral part of her work is an interaction with minority national communities in terms of education and promotion of Indigenous languages\, literatures\, and cultures. \nAinsley Morse teaches in the Department of Literature at UC-San Diego and translates from Russian\, Ukrainian and the languages of former Yugoslavia. Her research focuses on the literature and culture of the post-war Soviet period\, particularly unofficial or “underground” poetry\, as well as the avant-garde\, children’s literature and contemporary poetry. With Anastasiya Osipova\, she co-runs Cicada Press\, a small press that publishes Eastern European and Russian poetry in translation; she also translates and edits for Tamizdat Project Press. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group\, Arnhold Arts and Humanities Commons\, and Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies

SUMMARY:Humanities Decanted: Shana Moulton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Shana Moulton (Art) about her recent exhibition at MoMA\, Meta/Physical Therapy. \nThis 2024 exhibition premiered a new site-specific installation. Through performance\, video\, and sculpture\, Moulton chronicled the experiences of her semi-autobiographical alter-ego\, Cynthia\, as she navigated personal choices and physical limitations. Transforming the Kravis Studio into a prismatic environment\, this installation employed the artist’s signature blend of spiritual imagery\, medical technology\, popular culture\, and references to high art and dollar-store kitsch. An extension of Moulton’s Whispering Pines series\, which began in 2002\, the project continued the artist’s incisive examination of the aesthetics of pain and healing and the mass marketing of wellness and explores the maladies of middle age. Presented as a multi-chapter narrative\, the installation was accompanied by a series of performances created in collaboration with composer Nick Hallett\, bringing Cynthia’s inner world to life. \nShana Moulton is a California-born and -based artist who works in video\, performance\, and installation. She holds a BA from UC Berkeley in Art and Anthropology and an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University. Moulton has exhibited her work as a solo artist and in groups at major international museums\, galleries and institutes. She has performed at sites including The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, The Andy Warhol Museum\, Pittsburgh\, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, The Getty\, Los Angeles\, and The Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles. Moulton’s work has been featured in Artforum\, The New York Times\, ArtReview\, Art in America\, Flash Art\, Artpress\, Metropolis M\, BOMB Magazine\, and Frieze. \nRefreshments will be served. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s Idee Levitan Endowment
