salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu
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.

College of Social & Behavioral Science
The Political Science Department is hosting a talk by Dr. Kelly Hunter, Postdoctoral Scholar in Political Science and Global Health Studies at Northwestern University, on Friday, 10/17 from 12-1:30 in GC 5750. Dr. Hunter will be presenting "Global Health Politics in the Post-USAID Era: Lessons from the US’s Global Gag Rule and its Impact on NGOs in Kenya."
Abstract:
As the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has ceased operations and foreign aid has been dramatically cut, scholars agree that health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) will deteriorate. However, there is less attention given to the impacts that the USAID shutdown will have on intermediaries, specifically the non-governmental organizations (NGOs), who provide health services in LMICs.

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.

This talk discusses a recently published book about how wine has transformed Tibetan land and lives. Set in the Sino-Tibetan border region renamed "Shangri-La" by the Chinese government for tourism promotion, Crafting a Tibetan Terroir considers how the deployment of the French notion of terroir works to create new forms of ethno-regional identities and village landscapes through the production of Tibetan wine as a commodity. In Shangri-La, a rapidly developing international ethno-travel destination, European histories and global capitalism are being reestablished and reformulated through viticulture, which has altered landscapes and livelihoods.

Art + Cinema: The Rider
In partnership with the University of Utah Department of Film and Media Arts, the UMFA is excited to host a special screening of The Rider (2017), the critically acclaimed film from director Chloé Zhao.
After a tragic riding accident, young cowboy Brady (Brady Jandreau), once a rising star of the rodeo circuit, is warned that his competition days are over. Back home in South Dakota, Brady finds himself questioning what remains when he can no longer do the one thing that gave his life meaning: to ride and compete. In an effort to regain control of his fate, he sets out on a deeply personal journey to rediscover his identity and redefine what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.
The film features a remarkable cast of non-professional Lakota actors from the Pine Ridge Reservation playing fictionalized versions of themselves, including Jandreau—who grew up riding and training horses—as well as his father, sister, wife, and close friends.
Following the screening, join us for a post-film…

Marriott Library
Hosted by: Madison Golden, Research Data Librarian
Researchers world-wide have been moving towards open research, meaning all the
results of research in any discipline should be shared without restrictions.
Granting agencies in the U.S. have mandated the sharing of research outputs since
2013. For research to be shared it must be managed appropriately. Changing
technology is impacting the way research is being conducted as is
interdisciplinary and collaborative work. Managing the research appropriately
starts with the writing of the grant proposal, continues throughout the research
process and even after the closeout of the project with the outputs being shared.
This class will cover federal and University policies surrounding data ownership,
and stewardship. Understanding data management plans, secure campus storage
options and how to share your research outputs will be discussed. The class will
cover the basics, such documenting the research, developing file naming systems,
metadata and why it is importan…

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.

College of Social & Behavioral Science
The formation of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides an opportunity to catalyze connections among faculty who previously might have been siloed in their respective colleges. LASSO offers a way to address this enduring challenge. LASSO will bring together center directors in CSBS, Humanities, and Science in a series of conversations that will stimulate dialogue, foster new networks of collaboration, and lay the groundwork for interdisciplinary projects.
Centers are hubs of intellectual collaboration and outreach. The new LAS structure offers an opportunity for Center Directors to begin to learn about our respective programs, research, and outreach as a first step in developing new collaborative projects, sharing research, and making our scholarly work more fully accessible to the LAS community. We will begin with brown bag discussions about the centers in the three colleges, then in the spring move to conversations that will focus on topical issues that have cross-cutting LAS stakeholders.

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.

Cindi Textor, Associate Professor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Utah, will give a public talk this spring drawing from her research on transnational Japan. Her scholarship examines Japan not as an isolated culture, but as a site where ideas and empires meet, focusing especially on the enduring legacies of Japanese imperialism and its intersections with American and other western empires. Her first book, Intersectional Incoherence: Zainichi Literature and the Ethics of Illegibility (University of California Press, 2024), analyzes moments of incoherence and unintelligibility in the work of Koreans in Japan, challenging conventional approaches to literary representation. She is now at work on a second book that explores how modern Japan has engaged with and reconfigured white supremacist ideology, often through processes of translation. This new project argues that, even in a population largely considered non-white, white supremacy can operate and thrive when whiteness…

Presented with 801 Salon
Our Stage Door series continues this season with Little Moon, an indie folk rock band from Springville, UT that won the NPR Tiny Desk Contest in 2023. Little Moon is the project (and childhood nickname) of singer-songwriter Emma Hardyman. Her soaring vocals and rich arrangements are hallmarks of a sound that falls somewhere between a Zelda soundtrack and Vashti Bunyan. In this immersive concert experience, she’s joined by Bly Wallentine, Bridget Jackson, Chris Shemwell, Grace Johnson, and Nathan Hardyman. As SLUG Magazine put it, “Little Moon is like a warm hug from a good friend or feeling the sunlight blush your face.... pure emotional processing and ecstasy.”
Our presenting partner 801 Salon is a multidisciplinary art and performance series founded in 2021. They present pop-up exhibits and performances around Salt Lake City, providing an accessible, inclusive, and sustainable platform for emerging and established local artists.

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 partnership with the University of Utah Department of Film & Media Arts, the UMFA is excited to host a special screening of Northern Lights (1978), the critically acclaimed film directed by John Hanson and Rob Nilsson.
Winner of the 1979 Camera d'Or, Northern Lights, a unique work of political cinema from the late 1970s, dramatizes small North Dakotan wheat farmers' political struggle against the bankers and railroad magnates pushing them into bankruptcy. Two young lovers get swept up in the turmoil surrounding the formation of the populist Nonpartisan League in the mid-1910's. Shot on location in black-and-white 16mm with a cast of nonprofessional actors, this deeply moving, politically committed film is a masterpiece of American independent cinema. The 4K digital restoration of Northern Lights was created by IndieCollect and Metropolis Post in collaboration with directors John Hanson and Rob Nilsson.

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.

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.

College of Social & Behavioral Science
The formation of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides an opportunity to catalyze connections among faculty who previously might have been siloed in their respective colleges. LASSO offers a way to address this enduring challenge. LASSO will bring together center directors in CSBS, Humanities, and Science in a series of conversations that will stimulate dialogue, foster new networks of collaboration, and lay the groundwork for interdisciplinary projects.
Centers are hubs of intellectual collaboration and outreach. The new LAS structure offers an opportunity for Center Directors to begin to learn about our respective programs, research, and outreach as a first step in developing new collaborative projects, sharing research, and making our scholarly work more fully accessible to the LAS community. We will begin with brown bag discussions about the centers in the three colleges, then in the spring move to conversations that will focus on topical issues that have cross-cutting LAS stakeholders.
