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.

Is Murakami Haruki Still Relevant?
International Studies
Best-selling writer Murakami Haruki is a global literary sensation. His work has been translated into 50 languages, has sold millions of copies worldwide, making him a perennial favorite for the Nobel Prize. Notwithstanding this acclaim, many contend that his work has diminished in contemporary relevance due to, among other things, the outdated portrayal of women it frequently exhibits. Despite this criticism, the profound impact of Murakami’s vision is undeniable, as evidenced by the numerous cinematic, television, theatrical, and media adaptations of his fiction that have been produced globally. This presentation will examine the unparalleled influence of Murakami’s fiction on global storytelling, attributing this impact to its singular capacity to resonate with the challenges of modern experience.

Andrés Cuervo: Folk Computer: A Tangible Tabletop Computer, Zoom: https://utah.zoom.us/j/83526970823, Abstract:
People primarily interact with computers using keyboards, trackpads, and touch screens. While a boon for accessibility, these devices also flatten our experience of computing.

This talk will explore the paste, present, and future of the Folk Computer project.

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.

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.
In the true spirit of…

It’s also a big day for the country – huge decisions are being made all over, and at the center of it is one family teetering on the brink of…everything. Ten Brave Seconds is a bright and vital new musical, infused with infectious pop melodies and rooted in a big-hearted examination of one day in the life of a kid, a family, and a community stepping bravely from the dark unknown into the daylight together.

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.

Musical | World Premiere
A Heartfelt New Musical About the Power of a Single Moment, Mike is having a very big day. He’s been holding onto a secret for awhile, and today his secret is totally coming out. It’s also a big day for the country – huge decisions are being made all over, and at the center of it is one family teetering on the brink of…everything. Ten Brave Seconds is a bright and vital new musical, infused with infectious pop melodies and rooted in a big-hearted examination of one day in the life of a kid, a family, and a community stepping bravely from the dark unknown into the daylight together.

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.

Theatre
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Director Sarah Shippobotham
In a world dominated by social media and social expectations, it is interesting to realize that reputations have been made and ruined by gossip since centuries before technology came into being. Indeed, in some eras, gossip and wit were almost considered national sports, and verbal sparring could be almost as brutal as today's MMA cage fighting!
This play, set in the late 18th century, follows a group of socialites who plot to arrange the marriages they want, regardless of other people's feelings. It is a fascinating look at social expectations and how they can be exploded and manipulated by all for gain. Yet kindness, heart, and hope still can win out.

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.

Theatre
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Director Sarah Shippobotham
In a world dominated by social media and social expectations, it is interesting to realize that reputations have been made and ruined by gossip since centuries before technology came into being. Indeed, in some eras, gossip and wit were almost considered national sports, and verbal sparring could be almost as brutal as today's MMA cage fighting!
This play, set in the late 18th century, follows a group of socialites who plot to arrange the marriages they want, regardless of other people's feelings. It is a fascinating look at social expectations and how they can be exploded and manipulated by all for gain. Yet kindness, heart, and hope still can win out.

January 30–February 14, 2026
Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre
Musical | World Premiere
A Heartfelt New Musical About the Power of a Single Moment, Mike is having a very big day. He’s been holding onto a secret for awhile, and today his secret is totally coming out. It’s also a big day for the country – huge decisions are being made all over, and at the center of it is one family teetering on the brink of…everything. Ten Brave Seconds is a bright and vital new musical, infused with infectious pop melodies and rooted in a big-hearted examination of one day in the life of a kid, a family, and a community stepping bravely from the dark unknown into the daylight together.

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.

Department of Theatre presents "The School for Scandal" [U Arts Pass Event]
Theatre
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Director Sarah Shippobotham
In a world dominated by social media and social expectations, it is interesting to realize that reputations have been made and ruined by gossip since centuries before technology came into being. Indeed, in some eras, gossip and wit were almost considered national sports, and verbal sparring could be almost as brutal as today's MMA cage fighting!
This play, set in the late 18th century, follows a group of socialites who plot to arrange the marriages they want, regardless of other people's feelings. It is a fascinating look at social expectations and how they can be exploded and manipulated by all for gain. Yet kindness, heart, and hope still can win out.

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.
