Event Details

Join us in the Doug Adams Gallery (2400 Ridge Rd. Berkeley) for a tour of the Center for the Arts & Religion's Fall 2025 exhibition, Sacred Mobility: The Travels of Hindu & Eastern Orthodox Holy Images. At 4pm, co-curators Justin Grosnick (GTU PhD Student) and Olga Yunak (GTU PhD, 2022) will lead a curators' tour, tying together shared themes between the exhibition and the film.

Afterwards, head over to the Dominican School of Philosophy & Theology (2301 Vine St. Berkeley) for a film screening and discussion with the producers of Her Father's Music, a short documentary film that tells the remarkable story of Nina Baratoff, a Russian ballerina born a refugee in 1940s China. As a child, Nina danced to a piano piece her father composed just for her. Thought lost, its tattered pages were rediscovered decades later, sparking a journey of remembrance as a team of musicians, choreographers, and dancers brought the piece back to life.

Following the screening will be a discussion with the film's producers, Dave Feldman and Vin Eiamvuthikorn, and UC Berkeley PhD Candidate in Ethnomusicology, Ryan Gourley.
