Mysteries of the Ice Ages
Natural History Museum of Utah
Ice has sculpted our planet for millennia, shaping the landscapes we see today and connecting distant continents, paving the way for migration. Opening on June 7 at NHMU, Mysteries of the Ice Ages invites visitors to explore 80,000 years of Earth’s dramatic history, uncovering the mysteries of ice and the remarkable adaptations that allowed life to survive in an unforgiving world. Featuring more than 120 specimens, incredible artifacts, and informative interactives, the exhibition brings to life a time when massive glaciers ruled the land and ancient creatures roamed wild.
Exhibit Highlights:
• Encounter iconic Ice Age creatures like muskoxen, caribou, wolves, woolly mammoths, and cave bears.
• Step into the world of the Neanderthals and discover how they adapted to life in the freezing cold.

Theatre
Lucy, Baby
By Sophia Weaver
Lucy, Baby tells the story of the seven deadly sins in Hell, ruled by Lucy, a modern take on Lucifer. Pride, Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, and Envy have long awaited their final member. When Sloth arrives, the sins recount the violent, twisted acts that earned them a spot in Hell, while questioning what earned Sloth hers. But Sloth’s refusal to reveal her past unsettles the group, shifting their dynamics and drawing Lucy’s special attention. Blending dark humor, sharp dialogue, and a rock-inspired score, Lucy, Baby examines the evils of man and reflects on the human experience.

Migrant Sonority and More-Than-Human Perspectivism in Emiliano Monge's Las tierras arrasadas with Tammy Mitchell
Migrant Sonority and More-than-Human Perspectivism in Emiliano Monge’s Las tierras arrasadas
A tragic love story between two human traffickers set at the Guatemala-Mexico border, the Mexican author Emiliano Monge’s Las tierras arrasadas (2015, Among the Lost) portrays a cruel hellscape that becomes an allegory for the violence that present-day migrants endure on their journey through Mexico in search of a better life. To date, scholarship has interpreted the novel’s representation of human trafficking and migrant struggles as both performance and condemnation of the dehumanization of immigrant life that occurs on a daily basis in contemporary Mexico. Against the grain of such criticism, this talk rethinks the portrayal of migrants in Monge’s novel by attending to work’s narrative soundscape—migrant sonority intermingled with the hum of the jungle setting and the warlike din of narco Mexico. In dialogue with Eduardo Viveiros de Castro’s theory of perspectivism and Cristina Rivera Garza’s notion of…

Wednesday, September 24, 2025 | 6–8 pm | Free
Join artist Adama Delphine Fawundu as she discusses her work and the exhibition salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu in conversation with Yvonne Mpow. This free artist talk in the Dumke Auditorium at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts will deepen your understanding of the works on view in the latest salt exhibition and their connection to the UMFA’s African Art collection.
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, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Brazil, Nigeria, and Utah, 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…

Life After Dead Pool
After decades of drought, the American West is stretched to the breaking point. A changing climate and design flaws in the Glen Canyon Dam have pushed the once-massive Lake Powell reservoir to the brink of collapse—putting at risk millions of people who depend on the Colorado River for water, agriculture, and electricity. Now, as Glen Canyon reemerges, its surprising ecological rebirth reminds us that nature’s capacity to heal may well outpace our own imaginations.
Environmental journalist Zak Podmore explores the complex challenges ahead and reframes the inevitable loss of Lake Powell as a turning point for a more sustainable future. Through an arresting mix of science and storytelling, Life After Dead Pool debunks the notion that the West’s water challenges are unsolvable and invites us to secure a future where the Colorado River once again runs free.

This symposium will explore a revitalization of the FDA’s original missions—public health and consumer protection—by probing the intersection of politics, public health, and power at the organization. The FDA is currently facing political interference as well as cuts to its staff and budget that could compromise its ability to appropriately vet medical products. At the same time, FDA experts have observed that the agency needs significant reform to meet U.S. needs in the 21st century.
This convening will emphasize the “how”: the methods and approaches to strengthen medical product vetting while defending the FDA from interference. These goals bear some tension—and yet law and policy are well familiar with managing competing goals. Lessons for how the FDA can be “fireproofed,” drawing from FDA history, administrative law, political science, or other regulatory agencies, are encouraged. At the same time, changes to the way FDA operates may be needed to optimize the review of medical products on behalf o…

salt 17 artist, Adama Delphine Fawundu, is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY of Mende, Bubi, Krim ancestry. Her work explores themes such as indigenisation, ancestral memory and activating the radical imagination. 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).

Theatre
By Anton Chekhov, Version by Pam Gems
Director Alexandra Harbold, Video Director Nicholas Dunn
In his masterpiece, "The Cherry Orchard," Chekhov maintains an exquisite balance between elegiac celebration of the romance of the past, as embodied in the cherry orchard in full bloom, and the awesome prescience of what is so soon to overwhelm Russia - revolution. The themes are majestic, and yet at the centre of the play is Ranevskaya, a tragic woman who lacks adroitness for survival in a changing world but who has one asset: a capacity for love. It is her solution—and Chekhov's.

Natural History Museum of Utah
On September 28, join us at NHMU for a free screening of the feature-length film, "Tuniyay," which explores the lasting trauma of the Uintah Boarding School once located in Whiterocks, Utah.
Starting in the 1880s, the federal government and religious organizations operated Indian Boarding Schools across the country including Utah. The schools were designed to teach Indigenous children to be like white Americans in culture, language, and even dress, stripping them of their culture and heritage, and the results were often disastrous with the trauma lasting to this day.
Titled "Tuniyay," using the Ute word that means "to tell the story," the film was produced by the Episcopal Church of Utah with a commitment to reconciliation and the need for truth telling of this troubling history. Diocesan Communications Director Craig Wirth and historiographer Kurt Cook spent eight months creating the documentary with the guidance of Ute Elder Forrest Cuch and The Rev. Michael Carney. The film is a capstone project represe…

Department of Theatre presents "The Cherry Orchard" [U Arts Pass Event]
Theatre
By Anton Chekhov, Version by Pam Gems
Director Alexandra Harbold, Video Director Nicholas Dunn
In his masterpiece, "The Cherry Orchard," Chekhov maintains an exquisite balance between elegiac celebration of the romance of the past, as embodied in the cherry orchard in full bloom, and the awesome prescience of what is so soon to overwhelm Russia - revolution. The themes are majestic, and yet at the centre of the play is Ranevskaya, a tragic woman who lacks adroitness for survival in a changing world but who has one asset: a capacity for love. It is her solution—and Chekhov's.

Sculpting in Time: Land Art in the 21st Century
Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA)
As historical land artworks re-enter public view, this panel asks what it means to care for artworks made from stone, fire, and time. Using new installations on Powder Mountain as a starting point to explore land art in the region more broadly, this discussion explores how institutions can honor the integrity of past works while introducing them to new audiences, in new contexts. What do maintenance and stewardship mean when the original impulse was anti-institutional, ephemeral, or site-specific?
This discussion is grounded in the specific challenges of land art in the American West, from its geographic isolation to the logistical demands of presentation. But it also pushes beyond logistics: What principles should guide us when we revisit historical works? How can we remain artist-centered in our approach to conservation and re-presentation? And what might a next generation of land art look like—responsive to climate, history, and public life?
The panel will explore the need for long-term commitment an…

Depending on the individual circumstances of each project, our participants can “stack” cohorts to tackle broader, long-term challenges, or join for one cohort to address a specific challenge.
The Studio is open to all. Affiliation with the University of Utah is not required to participate. Our programs are in-person and hosted at the University of Utah.
Interested founders can find application details on the Doman Innovation Studio homepage, doman.utah.edu. All applicants, as well as those who are interested in learning more about the Studio, are encouraged to attend one of our current cohort meetings.
