SUMMARY:CIT.I.ZEN.SHIP: REFLECTIONS ON RIGHTS
DESCRIPTION:October 4\, 2018 – January 18\, 2019\nDepartment of Photography & Imaging Galleries\nNYU Tisch School of the Arts\n721 Broadway Lobby & 8th floor\n\nLorie Novak and Deborah Willis\, Ph.D.\, curators\nRiana Gideon\, assistant curator\n  \nTo accept one’s past — one’s history is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.  –James Baldwin\, The Fire Next Time \n  \nThe Department of Photography & Imaging at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in collaboration with For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative presents cit.i.zen.ship: reflections on rights\, an exhibition featuring photographs\, works on paper\, writings\, and video that reflect on human rights and notions of citizenship. The theme of the exhibition reminds us that our actions today will affect the future\, just as the actions of courageous individuals during the Civil Rights Movement changed the world. Conceptually and characteristically\, each of the artists uses different symbolic references to visually represent definable issues surrounding civil rights\, resistance\, immigration\, race\, class\, gentrification\, gender equality\, LGBTQ+ rights\, prison reform\, freedom of speech\, environmental issues\, and more. They use documentation\, process\, history\, and personal experience to engage the politics of this nation and pave the way for future narratives. \nThis exhibition is part of For Freedoms’ 50 State Initiative\, a non-partisan\, nationwide campaign to use art as a means of inspiring civic participation in advance of the 2018 midterm elections. For Freedoms was founded by artists in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement\, discourse\, and direct action in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 paintings of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms uses art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values\, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is dependent on participation\, not ideology. \nThe artwork included in this exhibition shares For Freedoms’ conviction that people shape the cultural systems that shape their lives—from politics to art\, from advertising to civic life. We believe that citizenship is defined by the creative use of one’s voice\, one’s body\, one’s mind\, and\, ultimately\, one’s vote. The 50 State Initiative is the largest creative collaboration in the history of this country\, and we want everyone to get involved. For Freedoms’ 200+ institutional partners are bringing together artists and community leaders across the country through exhibitions\, town hall meetings\, and public billboard projects. These collective activities inject creativity\, critical thinking\, and an uplifted multiplicity of voices into our public conversation. Together\, we can blur the line between artistic and political discourse to create an open and nuanced national dialogue in a partisan climate. \nArtists\nJack Adam • Aaron Adams • Gregory Michael Alders • Bridgette Auger/Itab Azzam • Perry Bard/Richard Sullivan • Laylah Amatullah Barrayn • Alexandra Bell • Cydney Blitzer • Terry E.

Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression. Situated within New York University\, the program offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum and a serious and broad grounding in the liberal arts. \n\n\nFor Freedoms is a platform for greater participation in the arts and in civil society\, producing exhibitions\, installations\, public programs\, and billboard campaigns to advocate for inclusive civic participation. Inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech\, freedom of worship\, freedom from want\, and freedom from fear— For Freedoms Federation uses art to encourage and deepen public explorations of freedom in the 21st century. Founded by Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman\, For Freedoms Federation encourages new forms of critical discourse. The mission is to use art as a vehicle to build greater participation in American Democracy.

SUMMARY:Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 11th please join us for “Russia Without Putin Money\, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War- A Book Talk with Tony Wood”. \nIt is impossible to think of Russia today without thinking of Vladimir Putin. More than any other major national leader\, he personifies his country in the eyes of the world\, and dominates Western media coverage. In Russia itself\, he is likewise the centre of attention both for his supporters and his detractors. But\, as Tony Wood argues\, this focus on Russia’s president gets in the way of any real understanding of the country. The West needs to shake off its obsession with Putin and look beyond the Kremlin walls. \nIn this timely and provocative analysis\, Wood explores the profound changes Russia has undergone since 1991. In the process\, he challenges several common assumptions made about contemporary Russia. Against the idea that Putin represents a return to Soviet authoritarianism\, Wood argues that his rule should be seen as a continuation of Yeltsin’s in the 1990s. The core features of Putinism — a predatory elite presiding over a vastly unequal society — are in fact integral to the system set in place after the fall of Communism. \nWood also overturns the standard view of Russia’s foreign policy\, identifying the fundamental loss of power and influence that has underpinned recent clashes with the West. Russia without Putin concludes by assessing the current regime’s prospects\, and looks ahead to what the future may hold for the country as a whole. \nTony Wood is in the PhD program in Latin American History at NYU. He is previously the author of Chechnya: The Case for Independence (2007)\, and his writing has appeared in theLondon Review of Books\, The Guardian\, n+1 and The Nation\, among other places.

SUMMARY:Order Without Design: How Markets Shape Cities
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us on Tuesday\, December 11 at 5:30pm for the launch of Alain Bertaud’s new book from MIT Press\, Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities. In it\, Bertaud argues that operational urban planning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure. Drawing on five decades of urban planning experience in forty cities around the world\, Bertaud links cities’ productivity to the size of their labor markets; argues that the design of infrastructure and markets can complement each other; examines the spatial distribution of land prices and densities; stresses the importance of mobility and affordability; and critiques the land use regulations in a number of cities that aim at redesigning existing cities instead of just trying to alleviate clear negative externalities. Bertaud concludes by describing the new role that joint teams of urban planners and economists could play to improve the way cities are managed. \nEvent Program:\nProfessor William Easterly\, Co-Director of NYU’s Development Research Institute\, will provide an opening commentary on the book. Bertaud will then sit down for a discussion of the book with Weiping Wu\, Professor of Urban Planning and Director of the M.S. in Urban Planning program at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning\, and Preservation\, before fielding questions from the audience. Books will be available for sale and signature.

SUMMARY:Bakosó
DESCRIPTION:What does “Está Rico” by Marc Anthony\, Will Smith & Bad Bunny have in common with “Made For Now” by Janet Jackson x Daddy Yankee? They both high-jacked AfroBeats and did not give the genre’s origin props. Bakosó is a film that does the opposite\, following DJ Jigüe on a journey to his hometown of Santiago de Cuba as he explores Cuba’s manifestation of the global AfroBeats hype\, “bakosó”\, to discover where the roots of the genre come from. We know there is deep-rooted African influence in Cuba\, but bakosó itself is beautiful proof that the exchange did not end with the Transatlantic slave trade.
