The Smoldering Forest: A People Powered Cinema
2026-06-04 18:00 - 20:00 | International House Davis, 10 College Park,, Davis, CA, 95616, United States
Meet Sita—space-larva, seed, sentient forest, cyborg goddess, biohacker, shaman, and daughter of the earth—who returns in a time of upheaval to re-imagine the stories that shape how we see and move through the world.
Retold in the voice of its female protagonist Sita, this retelling transforms the South Asian epic Ramayana into a series of eco-tales at the edge of the sixth extinction, blending mythology, ecology, and science-fiction into an immersive cinematic experience. Originally imagined as a film, the project had intended to engage human-powered energy solutions to produce the film. However, since the most environmentally-friendly film is one that never gets made, the project now exists as a performance of the cinematic.
Participants pass images and objects hand-to-hand, experience a live soundtrack performed by Vaidya, and take part in a guided visualization—co-creating the cinema together through imagination. By transforming the cinematic form, the performance asks us to re-imagine the digital as handmade – of the digits – rather than the sensorially impoverished versions of the digital being pushed on us today. It is an invitation to remember that storytelling technologies are meant to bring us into community, rather than isolating and dividing us. If we had used a projector, we would all be facing the screen; instead, now we are in a circle, facing each other.
The work has been presented at venues including the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (New York City), the Asian Art Museum (San Francisco), and international festivals and conferences in India and beyond. It is being presented here as part of I-House Davis’ Roots & Routes series, exploring diaspora, identity, and belonging.

Capital City Surf Clash III
2026-06-06 19:00 | Cafe Colonial, United States, CA
From Cultural Capital by Chris Macias:
Sacramento’s about to transform into “Surf City U.S.A.” The nearest ocean breaks might be down in the San Francisco Bay Area, but bands will be riding a mighty musical wave at Café Colonial for “Capital City Surf Clash III.” The festival brings headliner 3LH from the Pacific Northwest with The Greasy Gills from Oakland, along with local surf rockers The Me Gustas and DangerForce 5.
Surf music has been a fixture of the River City for decades. In 1963, the Beach Boys recorded a live album, “Beach Boys Concert,” at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. The surf rock scene of the 1960s was boosted locally by such bands as The Jaguars and The Avengers. That torch of surf music was carried through the years with The Tiki Men, who were fixtures of the local indie-rock scene in the 1990s, along with The Pyronauts and the in-your-face punk approach from ¡Las Pulgas!
This third installment of “Capital City Surf Clash” features a spectrum of surfy sounds. Though the genre is known for its primarily instrumental and reverb-soaked tracks, 3LH is the rare surf band to use vocals.
“In some circles that would be a bit taboo,” The Me Gustas guitarist Onedin “Odi” Giraldo said in an Instagram direct message. “But I love how surf music has influenced other genres. Some folks don’t even know that it’s surf behind some of their favorite tunes!”
