Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Artificial Intelligence
Dr. Natasha Holmes, Cornell University
Abstract: Generative Al is transforming science education by reshaping how we teach, learn, and assess student understanding. While concerns about academic integrity and student writing are front and center, genAl also creates unprecedented opportunities for research. For the first time, education researchers can evaluate open-ended student responses at scale, enabling large, multi-institutional studies that capture the richness of student thinking beyond multiple-choice formats. I will present what I think it means to conduct research on STEM teaching and learning in the age of genAl. We will consider both opportunities and challenges: integrating genAl into classroom practice and responsibly analyzing student work at scale. Instead of trying to fight it, we'll consider how to work with it-harnessing genAl to advance science education research in ways that are both innovative and responsible.

salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu
Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA)
This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours.
Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Brave Conversation: Dr. King's Dream
Join us for 2026’s first Brave Conversation – a structured conversation led by trained student facilitators. All members of the University community are invited to join us for a free lunch and a respectful conversation where the goal is to understand one another – not to persuade, debate, or convince.
On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, in which he said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." More than 60 years later, Americans across the political spectrum cherish these words but disagree on their meaning and the extent to which we have achieved Dr. King's dream. As we honor Dr. King this week, come share what his legacy means to you and your dreams for the future.

Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Artificial Intelligence
Dr. Victor Lee, Stanford University
Abstract: Al is driving schools and disciplines to re-examine not only how they teach, but what they teach so that Al is represented as a topic in and of itself. One way this has been encouraged is through the promotion of Al literacy—a contagious shorthand term for understandings about the uses, mechanisms, and areas of concern we should have as individuals and societally with respect to Al that is less technical than would be expected of a professional software engineer. In this talk, I discuss specific strategies my group has taken with respect to promoting Al literacy with an eye toward STEM disciplines - specifically with examples from projects such as Al Quests and CRAFT (Classroom-Ready Resources about Al for Teaching). A key argument is that we should draw from the prior premises and processes developed in the learning sciences, although when we do focus on moving innovations into practice, there are pragmatic compromises we must still make.

salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu
Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA)
This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours.
Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

The Fate of the Foundling, or, being undocumented in Twentieth-century Britain
by Nadja Durbach, Professor
Co-Editor, Journal of British Studies
Department of History, College of Humanities
University of Utah
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the foundling—an abandoned newborn baby found alive whose parentage was unknown—frequently appeared in British debates about motherhood and the family; poverty and the economy; morality, respectability, and sexuality; nation and empire; and the proper relationship between charities and the state. Scholars of British culture, however, have tended to lose interest in the foundling once the 1926 Adoption Act provided a legal means to absorb abandoned children into new families. Yet it was in the twentieth century that the plight of the foundling was magnified and took on new importance precisely because unadopted foundlings, and older abandoned children, were often undocumented. That they had either never been registered at birth, or their records could not be…

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA)
This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours.
Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA)
This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours.
Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Tanner Humanities talk from One-U RAI faculty fellow C. Thi Nguyen
Responsible AI Initiative
One-U Responsible Artificial Intelligence Initiative (one-U RAI) faculty fellow C. Thi Nguyen analyzes the effects of games and scoring systems on human values and behavior. In his new book published by Penguin, The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else’s Game, Nguyen shows how different forms of games and play—from video games and sports to cooking or gardening—can enhance human development and meaning. He contrasts this potential with the growing role of metrics and rankings in workplaces, schools, governments, and everyday decision-making. These systems, he argues, can make us outsource our values and interests to external authorities. In developing ideas like value capture and the gamification of modern life, he invites audiences to consider when scores and metrics can be rewarding, or alienating.
Nguyen is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah. He is the author of Games: Agency as Art, published by Oxford University Press, and an editor at Aesthetics for Birds.

At first glance, the paths of Alfredo Rodriguez and Pedrito Martinez might seem to follow a similar rhythm—two Havana-born musical prodigies who found their voices early and followed their passion to the USA. Dig a little deeper, and you’ll discover two stories as unique and vibrant as the music they create.
Together, they represent two brilliant threads of the Cuban musical tapestry and when they meet, sparks fly. Both Grammy-nominated artists, Rodriguez and Martinez bring Cuban roots to the global stage, each blending the sounds of their homeland with influences from jazz.
“The mind-melding between the two is sublime…it’s a joy to hear their visions combine” - NPR
Get ready for a night of rhythm, passion, and world-class artistry like no other.

Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora.
The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.
