SUMMARY:Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights Actors
DESCRIPTION:César Rodríguez-Garavito\, co-editor of Rising to the Populist Challenge: A New Playbook for Human Rights\, will speak on the new ideas and innovations that are emerging in response to populist regimes’ crackdown on civil society. \nWritten by scholars and advocates in challenging political settings from around the world\, this book offers ideas and inspiration to their peers in the human rights community who are grappling with and resisting the erosion of democracy and rights. \nThis collection takes two steps towards clearing the path for this civil society transformation. First\, it clarifies the specific challenges to human rights raised by contemporary populist regimes and movements. What is the populist playbook against human rights? Second\, it contributes to documenting and learning from a wealth of initiatives by human rights actors. What innovations are human rights actors introducing into their strategies and narratives to counter those of populist regimes? In short\, what is the human rights playbook against populism? \nFrom meticulous documentation of abuses in Turkey to more grassroots forms of social networking in Hungary\, from peace caravans in India to finding new ways of being useful under 21st century dictatorships in Venezuela\, like war correspondents reporting from the trenches\, our authors step forward to share their own continuing struggles to help their communities. \nBased on evidence from populist governments in India\, Venezuela\, Hungary\, Turkey\, Russia\, the United States\, and Ecuador-as well as crackdowns against civil society in South Africa\, Egypt and other countries-this volume provides hope\, solidarity\, and reinvigoration for the human rights movement.

SUMMARY:THE THREE PATRIARCHS OF EMBATTLED LOVE: CASTE\, RELIGION AND STATE
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Meena Kandasamy\nIn this talk\, Meena Kandasamy\, Gallatin’s Global Faculty-in-Residence and author of The Gypsy Goddess (Harper\, 2014)\, discusses her site-responsive chronicle of the Dharmapuri atrocity which occurred in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. On one day in October 2012\, in response to the love affair between a caste-Hindu Vanniyar woman and a Dalit man\, the homes of 300 Dalit people were burned. Kandasamy reflects on the event\, explores how one bears witness to violence and the social realities of India’s caste-embattled terrain\, and considers what it means to be a politically engaged writer who seeks to unravel the specifics of caste violence in contemporary Tamil history. \nThis event is co-sponsored by SouthAsiaNYU.

SUMMARY:INSULAR POSSESSIONS: IMPERIAL LEGACIES OF 1898 WITH A SPECIAL SCREENING OF CALL HER GANDA
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the NYU Native Studies Forum\, the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis. \nThe year 1898 has conventionally been regarded as the American “imperial moment\,” when the United States acquired and occupied a number of island nations\, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean. One hundred twenty years after the Treaty of Paris\, which ended the Spanish-American War\, as well as the alleged annexation of Hawai‘i\, what have been the legacies and ongoing effects of this “imperial archipelago”? How did the distinct but overlapping colonial practices of Spain and the United States shape social and cultural life? What has been the formal legal and political status of the Philippines\, Guåhan (Guam)\, Cuba\, Puerto Rico\, Samoa\, and Hawai‘i? \nThis half-day symposium ends with a screening of the award-winning documentary Call Her Ganda and Q&A with filmmaker PJ Raval (University of Texas\, Austin). The film follows the fight for justice for Jennifer Laude\, a Filipina trans woman who was murdered by a US serviceman in 2014. The screening is co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality.

SUMMARY:Latin America's 1968 - Marta Minuj´ín
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Latin America’s 1968 Colloquium series\, New York University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)\, Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, The Hemisphiric Institute of Performance and Politics\, and The Institute of Fine Arts (IFA)\, are proud to present a conversation with internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist Marta Minujín and IFA’s Deputy Director Edward Sullivan. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Ticket holders receive priority seating. \nAbout the speakers: \nMarta Minujín is an internationally acclaimed Argentine performance and conceptual artist whose career has helped define the role of participation\, performance\, and media in contemporary visual art. Minujín created her first “ephemeral” works in the 1960s in Paris and New York\, where she and became an innovator of pop art\, happenings\, soft sculpture\, and early video. Her celebrated La Menesunda (1965) created a sequence of 16 multi-sensory “situations” or environments for spectators to traverse; these included a beauty parlor\, a couple in bed\, and a shower of a confetti in an octagonal mirror chamber. Her 1967 Minuphone created an interactive “psychedelic” telephone booth in which voice triggered sensory changes in light\, image\, and sound. In May 1968—at the height of the cultural and political ferment of global 1968—Minujín hosted a series of soirèes/happenings with luminaries of fashion\, art\, finance\, and politics at Manhattan’s Center for Inter-American Relations (now Americas Society); the documentation became the basis of an immersive film installation\, known as Minucode\, which advanced a subtle critique of the role of “cultural” diplomacy needed to carry out the US cold war in Latin America. While in New York she participated in activities at Andy Warhol’s Factory\, and in the 1980s\, created a performance in which she offered Warhol a corn on the cob as a way of paying off Argentina’s foreign debt. She is perhaps best known for the 1983 piece The Parthenon of Books\, a large-scale replica of a Greek parthenon built on Buenos Aires’s main avenue\, comprised of 30\,000 books banned by the military regime during Argentina’s “Dirty War\,” including works by Marx\, Freud\, and Foucault. Spectators were then invited to dismantle work. She has continued to create works that combine ephemeral materials with monumental scale\, including Tower of Babel (2011)\, Agora of Peace (2013)\, and Hopscotch Art (2014). She lives and works in Buenos Aires. \nEdward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Sheppard Professor in the History of Art and the Deputy Director of the Institute of Fine Arts New York University. He has developed extensive research and curated several shows on the arts and visual cultures of the Americas from a transnational perspective\, with a particular concentration in Mexico\, Cuba\, Brazil\, Argentina\, Puerto Rico\, and Uruguay. Edward is the author of From San Juan to Paris and Back: Francisco Oller and Caribbean Art in the Era of Impressionism\, published by Yale University Press in 2014\, and The Language of Objects in the Art of the Americas\, published also by Yale in 2007\, among many other books and catalogs. \nSullivan’s latest book is entitled “Making the Americas Modern. Hemispheric Art 1910-1960” published this past March. He is currently curating a major exhibition of the Brazilian garden architect and painter Roberto Burle-Marx that opens in June next year at the New York Botanical Garden. His next book project concerns the relationships between artists and choreographers in the US and Latin America in the mid twentieth century. \nAbout the series: \nLatin America’s 1968; Curated by Jill Lane & Dylon Robbins. \nIn Latin America\, the year 1968 marked a turning point in the social\, political\, and cultural transformations that had been unfolding in the wide wake of the Cuban Revolution of 1959. For Latin America\, as for the rest of the world\, the sixties were shaped by geopolitics of the Cold War\, and of anti-colonial struggles across the globe. Yet they are most remembered by those who lived them as a time when ordinary people felt\, like never before and perhaps never after\, that they could change the course of history: millions of youth in student movements\, advocates for indigenous rights\, workers\, campesinos\, educators\, intellectuals\, and artists\, long with guerillas and other armed insurgents\, were self-aware in world-historical projects of radical social\, political\, economic\, and cultural change. In these years\, the personal became the political\, politics became theatrical\, theatre became a weapon\, and the lines between self\, art\, and politics were forever redrawn. To mark the 50th anniversary of this momentous year\, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) offers a film and lecture series that will explore and celebrate its significance in the region. \nImage: Marta Minujin | by Martin Lucesole | Flickr
