SUMMARY:Notes for Tomorrow Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Notes for Tomorrow\nIn collaboration with Independent Curators International (ICI)\n\n16 December 2025 to 07 March 2026\nUP Vargas Museum 1/F Galleries\nExhibition preview on 16 December 2025\, 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM\nat the UP Vargas Museum\, West Wing Gallery\n\n‘Notes for Tomorrow’ features artworks from around the world brought together in 2020 to reflect on a new global reality ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming out of a moment where collective crisis had to be managed through collective care\, Independent Curators International (ICI) turned to 30 curators from 25 countries to consider the issues that have come to the fore in the pandemic’s aftermath\, asking each of them to share one artwork that they believe is vital to be seen today.\n\nThe UP Vargas Museum hosts the exhibition’s first iteration in Southeast Asia\, opening on 16 December 2025\, bringing together works across various geographies\, narratives\, and disciplines that stray from the colonial canon. The selected artists present works that question monumentality and seek the wisdom of localities. In this necessary moment of cultural transition\, each work acts as a source of inspiration from the recent past toward new futures. Rather than proposing a single path forward\, the artworks in Notes for Tomorrow present a network of overlapping solutions.\n\n___\n\nArtists of ‘Notes for Tomorrow’: Madiha Aijaz\, Ernesto Bautista\, Maeve Brennan\, Vajiko Chachkhiani\, Luke Luokun Cheng\, A Liberated Library for Education\, Inspiration\, and Action\, Nothando Chiwanga\, Shezad Dawood\, Demian DinéYazhi’\, Cao Guimarães\, Ilana Harris-Babou\, Rei Hayama\, Amrita Hepi\, INVASORIX\, Tamás Kaszás\, Ali Kazma\, David Lozano\, Mona Marzouk\, Joiri Minaya\, Peter Morin\, Omehen\, Daniela Ortiz\, Kristina Kay Robinson\, Luiz Roque\, Mark Salvatus\, Ibrahima Thiam\, u/n multitude\, Wayne Kaumualii Westlake\, and Yan Shi\n\nSource: UP Vargas Museum Facebook

SUMMARY:The Politics of the Minimum Wage in the Global South
DESCRIPTION:The Politics of the Minimum Wage in the Global South\n\nPresented by:\nTeri L. Caraway\nBenjamin E. Lippincott Professor of Political Economy\nDepartment of Political Science\nUniversity of Minnesota\, Twin Cities\n\nas part of the15th Research Dissemination Forum of the\nUP School of Labor and Industrial Relations\nCenter for Labor Justice\n\n16 February 2026 2:00 – 5:00 PM\nUP SOLAIR Mini Auditorium\n(F2F session is invite-only\, other interested participants register via Zoom: https://bit.ly/4kvY3JE)\n\nAbstract: Minimum wages increased dramatically in all regions of the Global South during the first two decades of the 21 st century. We highlight the role of minimum wage setting institutions in creating political logics that help to explain why workers have made huge gains on this issue. Unlike many issues of concern to workers\, the executive branch has the final authority to raise minimum wages in most of the Global South.\n\nBecause executives can raise minimum wages without taking legislative action\, they can manipulate them on relatively short notice in response to political circumstances. We highlight two political pressures—elections and labor mobilization—that lead governments in democracies and competitive autocracies to raise minimum wages.\n\nUsing two original cross-national data sets on minimum wages and labor mobilization\, we test these arguments quantitatively and find strong evidence that elections and labor mobilization are associated with large minimum wage increases. We also present four brief case studies of Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Thailand\, and Turkey\, that illustrate the theorized dynamics qualitatively.\n\nTeri L. Caraway is Benjamin E. Lippincott Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities. Her research specialization is the comparative political economy of labor with a focus on the Global South and Southeast Asia. Her most recent books are Organized Labor in Southeast Asia (Cambridge University Press\, 2023) and Labor and Politics in Indonesia (Cambridge University Press\, 2020).\n\nProfessor Caraway’s current research examines the politics of the minimum wage globally\, the impact of democratic backsliding on labor movements in Southeast Asia\, and the political economy of critical minerals in the Global South\, with a focus on the nickel industry in Indonesia.\n\nSource: UP School of Labor and Industrial Relations Facebook
