EMU McMIllan Gallery from February 3rd - March 15th
In 2019 the McMillan Gallery Team requisition UO Alumn Artist, Mohammed Murshed to create images of UO student artist alumni who had exhibited in our galleries. Mohammed described the process as “I painted portraits of them with their art; in the background of each portrait, I honored their work that was exhibited in one of the EMU’s two galleries: the McMillan Gallery and the Aperture Gallery. I enjoyed the process of doing this because it was challenging due to researching what their artwork looks like, how they do it, and how they got there. They each have their own inspiring story, and it was an honor to paint them.” Student and alumni artists featured in this exhibit include Mohamed Murshed (self-portrait), Ugo Akabike, Daniela Cardenas-Riumallo, Elexus Greene, Polly Irungu, J.Jackson, Jenny Kroik, Meerah Powell, Grace Kwon, Anne Magratten, Sophie Navarro, Sergio B. Sanchez, Allison Shukis, Mary Vertulfo, and Andrew Young.
Artist Bio:
My name is Mohammed Murshed. I am a Yemeni American visual artist currently based in Portland, Oregon. I graduated with an MA from the University of Oregon Art and Technology Department and an MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art. My artistic practice spans a wide range of mediums, including painting, textiles, sculpture, video, sound, computer programming, writing, poetry, and video games. The primary focus of my work is to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, exploring its roots and presenting this narrative through a didactic lens. I incorporate historical and archaeological evidence, such as Carbon Dating, to convey facts using the scientific method. This approach helps to dispel misconceptions and romanticized versions of historical events, which have been passed down through oral traditions, literature, and folklore. Rather than relying solely on ingrained traditions, I aim to share my personal experiences growing up in Yemen and my journey as an immigrant to the United States due to the ongoing war. I consider myself fortunate to have escaped the conflict in time, but many of my family members remain in Yemen, living amid destruction and uncertainty. In my artistic exploration, I challenge myself to experiment with new approaches. Textiles play a significant role in my work, serving as a medium through which I examine cultural and gender inequalities in Yemen. Patterns and colors are central to my artistic process, as they have been integral to human civilization since its inception. By integrating these elements into my work, I strive to convey their cultural significance and create a deeper understanding of the patterns that define our shared history.

Imagine, the memorable clink of ice hitting a rocks glass, the scent of muddled limes and mint, the faint crackle as the tipple is poured, the effervescent fizz of soda about to broach the rim, the straw insertion and swirl, the first sip of vacation…Life would be miserable without these gifts, and life would most certainly suck without the perfect soundtrack to the first cocktail of some much needed time off. Pop the cork on some Magic City Hippies.
MCH initially floated onto the scene as Robby Hunter Band, but stumbled into their true identity in 2015 when their album Magic City Hippies gave them a fresh sound and a new name. Fusing Miami’s sunshine-soaked funk with an after-hours swagger, they’ve since captivated audiences worldwide, from intimate clubs to the stages of Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza.
Their Hippie Castle EP (2015) was just the tip of the proverbial ice cube in a cocktail glass of hippie sass, blending poolside melodies and three-day weekend grooves. By the time Modern Animal (2019) arrived, Magic City Hippies had taken listeners beachside, layering even more sultry swank onto their already laid-back vibe. A few years later, Water Your Garden (2022) brought a shimmering, joyous soundtrack to a world emerging from isolation, celebrating both solo and shared moments of dance.
In 2024, the band continued their evolution with vibrant singles like the disco-funk “Givin’ Up On Lovin’” and the psych-pop, acid-house blend of “I Can’t Let You Go,” teasing a larger project on the horizon and solidifying their eclectic, ever-expanding sonic mosaic. While their studio albums have garnered both fan and critical acclaim, it’s the band’s electrifying live shows that truly set them apart. Their unapologetically high-energy performances have a way of breaking even the most reluctant attendees, pulling them into a groove that feels as irresistible as it is spontaneous.
First-time attendees often walk away as devoted fans, a near-ritualistic transformation that’s become a signature of the Magic City Hippies’ live experience. Whether this sunshine funk is all up inside your alley, or even if pink neon signs flashing the words SENSUAL AUDIBLE MASSAGE just have you curious, Magic City Hippies deliver a rare blend of musical talent and touring tenacity, offering up funky sweaty smiles aplenty.

Rather than relying solely on ingrained traditions, I aim to share my personal experiences growing up in Yemen and my journey as an immigrant to the United States due to the ongoing war. I consider myself fortunate to have escaped the conflict in time, but many of my family members remain in Yemen, living amid destruction and uncertainty. In my artistic exploration, I challenge myself to experiment with new approaches. Textiles play a significant role in my work, serving as a medium through which I examine cultural and gender inequalities in Yemen. Patterns and colors are central to my artistic process, as they have been integral to human civilization since its inception. By integrating these elements into my work, I strive to convey their cultural significance and create a deeper understanding of the patterns that define our shared history.

The event will feature displays of posters, photographs, and memorabilia showcasing Black artists who graced the stage here, including Arnet Coleman and other influential poets.
To cap off the evening, Eric will present a special segment of his radio show Pure Jazz Revisited, taking us through the sounds that shaped the era and continue to inspire today.
This event is a celebration of the power of art, music, and the convergence of social movements that changed the cultural landscape of Eugene and beyond.

Patterns and colors are central to my artistic process, as they have been integral to human civilization since its inception.

EMU McMIllan Gallery from February 3rd - March 15th
In 2019 the McMillan Gallery Team requisition UO Alumn Artist, Mohammed Murshed to create images of UO student artist alumni who had exhibited in our galleries. Mohammed described the process as “I painted portraits of them with their art; in the background of each portrait, I honored their work that was exhibited in one of the EMU’s two galleries: the McMillan Gallery and the Aperture Gallery. I enjoyed the process of doing this because it was challenging due to researching what their artwork looks like, how they do it, and how they got there. They each have their own inspiring story, and it was an honor to paint them.” Student and alumni artists featured in this exhibit include Mohamed Murshed (self-portrait), Ugo Akabike, Daniela Cardenas-Riumallo, Elexus Greene, Polly Irungu, J.Jackson, Jenny Kroik, Meerah Powell, Grace Kwon, Anne Magratten, Sophie Navarro, Sergio B. Sanchez, Allison Shukis, Mary Vertulfo, and Andrew Young.
Artist Bio:
My name is Mohammed Murshed. I am a Yemeni American visual artist currently based in Portland, Oregon. I graduated with an MA from the University of Oregon Art and Technology Department and an MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art. My artistic practice spans a wide range of mediums, including painting, textiles, sculpture, video, sound, computer programming, writing, poetry, and video games. The primary focus of my work is to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, exploring its roots and presenting this narrative through a didactic lens. I incorporate historical and archaeological evidence, such as Carbon Dating, to convey facts using the scientific method. This approach helps to dispel misconceptions and romanticized versions of historical events, which have been passed down through oral traditions, literature, and folklore. Rather than relying solely on ingrained traditions, I aim to share my personal experiences growing up in Yemen and my journey as an immigrant to the United States due to the ongoing war. I consider myself fortunate to have escaped the conflict in time, but many of my family members remain in Yemen, living amid destruction and uncertainty. In my artistic exploration, I challenge myself to experiment with new approaches. Textiles play a significant role in my work, serving as a medium through which I examine cultural and gender inequalities in Yemen. Patterns and colors are central to my artistic process, as they have been integral to human civilization since its inception.

Presented by the Oregon Humanities Center
Reproductive justice is a critical framework that was developed in response to reproductive politics in the US. Three core values of reproductive justice are the right to have a child, the right to not have a child, and the right to parent a child or children in safe and healthy environments.
LGBTQIA+ individuals need and deserve unimpeded access to full spectrum reproductive health care services. Far too often the movements for reproductive health and rights only center the needs of cisgender and heterosexual individuals and couples. Yet, the reality is: everyone needs reproductive health care regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Candace Bond-Theriault will discuss the need to center LGBTQIA+ communities in the conversation about reproductive health, rights, and justice in a talk titled “Queering Reproductive Justice: An Invitation to Create Our Collective Future.” As this year’s Colin Ruagh Thomas O’Fallon Memorial Lecturer on Law and American Culture, Bond-Theriault will extend an invitation to all people who care about justice and equity to stake a claim in the fight for collective liberation.
Bond-Theriault asserts that for reproductive justice to be truly successful, we must acknowledge that members of the LGBTQIA+ community often face distinct, specific, and interlocking oppressions when it comes to these rights. Family formation, contraception needs, and appropriate support from healthcare services are still poorly understood aspects of the LGBTQIA+ experience, which often challenge mainstream notions of the nuclear family.
Candace Bond-Theriault, JD, LLM, is a queer lawyer, writer, mother, and social justice advocate working at the intersections of law, policy, reproductive health rights, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ liberation, economic justice, and democracy reform. She is Adjunct Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Howard University, and Associate Director for Movement Building at Dēmos, a think tank for the Racial Justice Movement.
Her book Queering Reproductive Justice: An Invitation (2024), blends advocacy with a legal, rights-based framework and offers a unified path for attaining reproductive justice for LGBTQIA+ people. Drawing on US law and legislative history, healthcare policy, human rights, and interviews, Bond-Theriault presents incisive new recommendations for queer reproductive justice theory, organizing, and advocacy.
Bond-Theriault’s talk, part of this year’s “Re-imagine” series, is free and open to the public and will be livestreamed and recorded. Please register.
4:00–5:00 p.m.

I graduated with an MA from the University of Oregon Art and Technology Department and an MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art. My artistic practice spans a wide range of mediums, including painting, textiles, sculpture, video, sound, computer programming, writing, poetry, and video games. The primary focus of my work is to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, exploring its roots and presenting this narrative through a didactic lens. I incorporate historical and archaeological evidence, such as Carbon Dating, to convey facts using the scientific method. This approach helps to dispel misconceptions and romanticized versions of historical events, which have been passed down through oral traditions, literature, and folklore. Rather than relying solely on ingrained traditions, I aim to share my personal experiences growing up in Yemen and my journey as an immigrant to the United States due to the ongoing war. I consider myself fortunate to have escaped the conflict in time, but many of my family members remain in Yemen, living amid destruction and uncertainty. In my artistic exploration, I challenge myself to experiment with new approaches. Textiles play a significant role in my work, serving as a medium through which I examine cultural and gender inequalities in Yemen. Patterns and colors are central to my artistic process, as they have been integral to human civilization since its inception. By integrating these elements into my work, I strive to convey their cultural significance and create a deeper understanding of the patterns that define our shared history.

EMU McMIllan Gallery from February 3rd - March 15th
In 2019 the McMillan Gallery Team requisition UO Alumn Artist, Mohammed Murshed to create images of UO student artist alumni who had exhibited in our galleries. Mohammed described the process as “I painted portraits of them with their art; in the background of each portrait, I honored their work that was exhibited in one of the EMU’s two galleries: the McMillan Gallery and the Aperture Gallery. I enjoyed the process of doing this because it was challenging due to researching what their artwork looks like, how they do it, and how they got there. They each have their own inspiring story, and it was an honor to paint them.” Student and alumni artists featured in this exhibit include Mohamed Murshed (self-portrait), Ugo Akabike, Daniela Cardenas-Riumallo, Elexus Greene, Polly Irungu, J.Jackson, Jenny Kroik, Meerah Powell, Grace Kwon, Anne Magratten, Sophie Navarro, Sergio B. Sanchez, Allison Shukis, Mary Vertulfo, and Andrew Young.

Dacher Keltner is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and faculty director of the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. In his new book, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life, Keltner offers a groundbreaking exploration and deeply personal reflection on the elusive emotion of awe. Drawing on fresh research about how awe impacts our brains and bodies, as well as examining its role throughout history, culture, and in his own life during a time of grief, Keltner investigates how embracing awe in our daily lives helps us recognize and appreciate the most human aspects of our nature.
