SUMMARY:Migration as Survival in the Era of Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. Co-sponsored by the NYU Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies and the Department of Art & Public Policy\, NYU Tisch School of the Arts.\n \nRising sea levels\, drought\, food insecurity\, intensified hurricanes\, and wildfires are some of the many markers of the exacerbating climate crisis. Despite the clear and present danger of climate change\, governments are failing to take the action needed to stave off its worst effects. Meanwhile\, tens of millions of people\, primarily from poor communities and the Global South\, are displaced by climate impacts every year only to be met by rising xenophobia\, anti-migrant sentiment\, and militarized borders. This panel brings together journalists\, activists\, frontline organizers\, academics\, and artists to discuss the inextricable links between migration and climate catastrophe. We consider what an intersectional movement for migrant rights and climate justice could look like\, the threat posed by right-wing populist governments to the rights of migrants\, and the role of arts and culture in creating bold visions for a just future. \nFeaturing Oscar A. Chacón (Executive Director\, Alianza Americas)\, Oliver Milman (Reporter\, The Guardian)\, Tiara R. Na’puti (Assistant Professor\, University of Colorado Boulder)\, and Ninaj Raoul (Executive Director\, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees). Curated and moderated by Thanushka (Thanu) Yakupitiyage\, the A/P/A Institute at NYU 2018-19 Artist-in-Residence. \nThis venue is on the first floor and is accessible for wheelchair users. Restrooms (which are gender-segregated) are accessible via elevator. If you have any questions or need any accommodations\, please email apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. \nOscar A. Chacón is a co‐founder and executive director of Alianza Americas\, a Chicago-based national network of Latin American immigrant‐led and immigrant serving organizations in the US. Chacón is an immigrant from El Salvador. He has been an organizer and a leader on community justice issues at the local\, national\, and international levels for over thirty years. He has occupied leadership positions in multiple organizations including Oxfam America\, Centro Presente\, the Northern California Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights\, and Heartland Alliance for Human Needs and Human Rights. Chacón is a frequent spokesperson\, domestically and internationally\, on economic\, social\, political\, and cultural issues affecting Latin American immigrant communities\, including the nexus between human mobility\, economic inequality\, white supremacy\, and racial justice. Alianza Americas mission is to improve the quality of life of Latin American immigrant communities in the US\, as well as of peoples throughout the Americas. \nOliver Milman is the environment correspondent for Guardian US\, based in New York. He regularly reports on how climate change is altering the natural world\, with a particular focus on the communities most vulnerable to these consequences. Before coming to the US\, he covered the environment for the Guardian in Australia. His role has taken him to the melting Alaskan Arctic\, the wildfire-scorched northern California\, the magnificent yet ailing Great Barrier Reef\, and people living in the shadow of the petrochemical industry in Texas. Originally from the UK\, Millman has previously covered business and politics for a range of print and online publications. \nTiara R. Na’puti (Chamoru) is assistant professor in the Department of Communication at University of Colorado Boulder with faculty affiliations in the Center for Communication and Democratic Engagement (CDE) and the Center for Native American Indigenous Studies (CNAIS). Her scholarship and activism addresses colonization\, militarization\, Indigenous social movements\, and Indigenous cultural discourses—particularly throughout Oceania. She is currently working on a book project that examines the US military buildup plans for the Mariana Islands archipelago and how military aggression fuels the dangerous impacts of climate change. This work examines the communicative dimensions of resistance and connections among Indigenous-led struggles to protect sacred water and land from militarization and extractive industries. \nNinaj Raoul is a co-founder and community organizer at Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees (HWHR) in New York\, an organization founded in 1992 to respond to the human needs of Haitian refugees and immigrants in the US fleeing persecution. Through education\, community organizing\, leadership development\, and collective action\, HWHR members empower themselves as they struggle for social and economic justice. Raoul is a Petra Foundation Fellow\, and a recipient of the Union Square Awards\, National Organization of Woman – Susan B. Anthony Award\, and Dr. Antonia Pantoja Bilingual Advocacy Award. She continues to mobilize her community to deliver services\, organize disaster relief efforts\, and fight for workers’ rights. She travels to and from Haiti\, where HWHR has provided solidarity support to women-run organizations that respond to manmade and natural disasters. Raoul seeks to raise awareness of the detrimental effects of the US agricultural subsidy programs that dump excess crop in Haiti\, as well as other root causes of migration. \nThanushka (Thanu) Yakupitiyage is a long-time immigrant rights activist\, media professional\, cultural organizer\, and multidisciplinary artist/DJ based in New York City. For close to seven years\, she worked for the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC)\, where she headed the organization’s communications and media relations strategy. Through her work at NYIC\, she became an immigration policy expert\, using her skills in media and communications to shift narratives on immigration and immigrants themselves. She was a lead organizer in recent efforts to push back against Trump’s first executive orders that mandated a Muslim Ban\, and increased enforcement and raids against immigrant communities. Most recently\, she has taken on the role of leading US communications for 350.org and bringing a migration perspective to the critical work of climate justice. As a cultural organizer and DJ under the name Ushka\, she has performed across North America and she uses her artistry to create intentional community spaces for queer and immigrant people of color. Yakupitiyage holds an MA in communications from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, and a BA in critical media studies and international development from Hampshire College. She is the 2018-19 Artist-in-Residence at the A/P/A Institute at NYU.\nPhoto by Brooke Anderson\, Survival Media Agency (provided by 350.org).

SUMMARY:SCREENING – SPEAK UP (OUVRIR LA VOIX)
DESCRIPTION:With director Amandine Gay in conversation with art historian Sandrine Colard and poet/scholar Sylvie Kandé as respondent. In this installation of the 21st Century/New African and African Diaspora Writings and Arts Series\, women of African descent in France and Belgium converse about what it means to be a woman today and belong to the Afro community in the documentary film Speak Up (Ouvrir la voix) (2017\, 122 min.). By sharing their experiences and aspirations for the future\, they speak up and take control again of their own representation. \n  \n \nAmandine Gay is a political author. Following her graduation from the Institute of Political Studies in Lyon\, France in 2007 with a masters in communication\, Amandine joined the Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Paris 16 and began performing in theatre and television. Since 2012\, she has also been working as a screenwriter and contributing as a freelance journalist for Slate.fr. \nIn 2014 she took on directing with a reportage on the #BoycottExhibitB demonstrations\, and that same year\, she started working on her documentary\, SPEAK UP\, a feature-length about francophone Black women. Most recently\, Amandine authored the preface of the first French translation of bell hooks’ seminal\, Ain’t I A Woman. She is currently living in Montreal\, completing her second master’s degree in sociology\, focusing on transracial adoption. \nShe is a director\, writer\, freelance journalist and speaker. She is regularly asked to speak about Afro-feminism\, intersectionality and adoption at events such as the Toronto and Winnipeg Spur Festival. Students were able to hear her at the University of Edinburgh\, Université du Québec à Montréal\, University of Ottawa\, University of Lausanne\, Université Lumière Lyon 2\, École de Recherche Graphique in Brussels\, and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris and others. \nDIRECTOR’S NOTE \nSPEAK UP is born out of my desire to occupy public space and to explain why the intersection of discriminations faced by Black women in France and Belgium is as problematic as it is political. \nSPEAK UP is my response to the need for Black francophone women to reclaim the narrative since we are too often silenced or presented as passive victims. This is also a celebration of our diversity as Afro-descendants: Black women born in France and Belgium\, or elsewhere\, from French\, Belgian or immigrant parents\, from all kinds of paths\, faiths\, sexual orientation\, etc. \nSPEAK UP is a political portrait of Black women in francophone Europe\, revealing the complexity and diversity of our lives and identities. Beyond personal anecdotes lie the political issues that Black women have to face. That’s the reason why I chose the form of a conversation through intertwined narratives so that my experience could be nuanced and enriched by that of other Black women. \nSPEAK UP is my way of celebrating the history of Black women resistance\, who\, since marooning\, through creolity\, pan-Africanism\, negritude and Afro-feminism have always invented tools enabling them not to be silenced. This is for those who fought before us and a testimony to those who will come after us. \n ―Amandine GAY \n\n Sandrine Colard is Assistant Professor of African Art History at Rutgers University-Newark. She holds a Ph.D. in art history from Columbia University\, and a M.A. in Africana Studies from New York University. Prior to joining Rutgers-Newark\, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art  (INHA\, Paris\, France) and a Provost Post-doctoral Fellow at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Dr. Colard is a historian of modern and contemporary African arts and photography\, with a focus on Central Africa. Her scholarly interests include post-colonialism in the arts\,  portraiture\, vernacular photograph\, the representation of gender and domesticity\, and the globalization of the contemporary art scene. Dr. Colard is an international lecturer (Concordia University\, EHESS\, Wiels\, Bozar\, European Parliament) and the author of multiple publications (African Arts\, Critical Interventions\, L’Art Même\, Cahiers du CAP\, Cultures et Musées). Her writings include contributions to exhibition catalogs such as Sammy Baloji: Hunting and Collecting. A Research Project (Mu.ZEE\, Ostend\, 2016)\, and The Expanded Subject: New Perspectives in Photographic Portraiture from Africa (Hirmer\, 2016)\, for which she was co-curator at the Wallach Art Gallery (New York\, 2016).  Her research has been supported by numerous fellowships\, among which that of the quai Branly Museum. Based on research conducted in Belgium\, Kinshasa and Lubumbashi (DRC)\, her current book project examines the history of photography in the colonial Congo (1885-1960). \n\n\nSylvie Kandé teaches at SUNY Old Westbury. Born in Paris to a French mother and a Senegalese father\, Kandé is the author of three collections of poetry published by Gallimard including Gestuaire and Lagon\, lagunes. Tableau de mémoire. Gestuaire examines gestures—gestures of life\, gestures of death\, of infinite love or absolute violence—as a language.  Lagon\, lagunes. Tableau de mémoireevokes the journey of a woman who takes stock of the manners in which history and the dominant gaze have shaped her “métisse” identity. Trained as both a literary critic and a historian\, she is also known for her work on the complex conversations that have taken place between Africa and Europe and Africa and its Diasporas. Her areas of specialization include métissage/hybridity and post-racial utopias. \n\nCo-sponsored by Institute of French Studies and La Maison Française of NYU

SUMMARY:STEPHEN W. SAWYER'S DEMOS ASSEMBLED: DEMOCRACY & THE INTERNATIONAL ORIGINS OF THE MODERN STATE
DESCRIPTION:Previous studies have covered in great detail how the modern state slowly emerged from the early Renaissance through the seventeenth century\, but we know relatively little about the next great act: the birth and transformation of the modern democratic state. Demos Assembled (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) provides us with a fresh\, transatlantic understanding of that political order’s genesis\, and sheds new light on the subsequent reciprocal influence that American thinkers and politicians had on the establishment of post-revolutionary regimes in France. Sawyer argues that the emergence of the stable Third Republic (1870–1940)\, which is typically said to have been driven by idiosyncratic internal factors\, was in fact a deeply transnational\, dynamic phenomenon. \nWith Stephen W. Sawyer\, professor and chair of history\, and director of the Center for Critical Democracy Studies at the American University of Paris\, editor of the Tocqueville Review and associate editor of the Annales. History and Social Sciences. Chaired by Stéphane Gerson (French and French Studies\, NYU). Comments by Edward Berenson (History and French Studies\, NYU)\, Arthur Goldhammer (Center for European Studies\, Harvard University)\, Jennifer Pitts (Political Science\, University of Chicago)\, and Sophia Rosenfeld (History\, University of Pennsylvania). \nIn English \nCo-sponsored by Institute of French Studies\, Center for European and Mediterranean Studies\, Department of History\, and Remarque Institute.
