Writer/director/actor John Cameron Mitchell will join the Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center, Patrice Petro, for a post-screening discussion of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Originally a stage show, the film follows Hedwig, raised as a boy in East Berlin, who undergoes a life-altering transformation to emigrate to the U.S. as the wife of an American soldier. She eventually reinvents herself as a rock diva, performing in Midwest seafood restaurants while inspiring men who achieve fame with her stolen songs.
This student-run event will feature music, food, art-making opportunities, scavenger hunts, and more. It is free and open to all UCSB students, and it will be an excellent opportunity to enjoy the current exhibitions and mingle with friends.
Katie A. Moore, a UCSB Assistant Professor of History, will discuss her new book Promise to Pay: The Politics and Power of Money in Early America, counterfeiting, and money's social and political meanings before the American Revolution.
For the program's monthly community breakfast, enjoy free bagels and coffee while listening to the LAIS graduates' research projects.
