UCSB Arts & Lectures Creating Hope
2021-22 Season Returns to Live Performance Beginning on October 10
By Charles Donelan | September 30, 2021
We’ve had our fill of uncertainty, yet what we know is that there’s more unknown to come. Wishing that things would stop changing, wanting to go back to however we imagine things were before? This approach has proved fruitless — a failed strategy at best, and at worst an excuse for thoughtless antagonism and mutual destruction.
Yet the world’s great artists, scholars, and leaders still inspire. They help us believe that deep change moves in a positive direction and that meeting painful challenges prepares us to discover better ways to live.
The twin themes of the 2021-22 season of UCSB Arts & Lectures are “Creating Hope” and “Justice for All.” Both of these threads address our collective ambivalence directly, and the resulting calendar of extraordinary programming offers an array of intellectual and emotional journeys crafted to deliver exactly what we need right now: a comprehensive experience of the potential for renewal in our community and for our planet.
