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:Lecture: Afro-Arab Relations: From the Common Struggle to the "New Scramble"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture with Rawia Tawfik\n  \nAbstract:\nIn the mid-twentieth century\, Arab and African countries waged a common struggle against colonialism and racial segregation. Arabs supported the liberation of African colonies and the isolation of apartheid South Africa. In their turn\, newly independent African countries showed solidarity with Arabs in their conflict against Israel. With international and regional transformations at the end of the century this collective mobilization for united action had faded away.  In the last decade\, Arab regional powers\, especially Gulf monarchies\, are making a strong comeback to the continent. From investing in various economic sectors to brokering peace between rival countries in the Horn of Africa\, Gulf countries are heavily investing in seizing the economic opportunities in the rising continent and bringing stability to their turbulent Eastern neighbors. This lecture traces the continuities and changes in Afro-Arab relations in the last six decades. It maps the actors\, interests and policies that shape the unfolding alliances and rivalries between and within the two regions. It questions whether the renewed interest of Arab regional powers in Africa is an asset for Africa’s peace and development or part and parcel of the ‘new scramble’ for Africa’s political and economic resources.\n  \nRawia Tawfik is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Politics from the University of Oxford and a Master of Science in Politics from Cairo University. Her research interests include issues surrounding African development and regional integration\, Nile hydro-politics\, and the foreign policy of regional powers in Africa. She was a visiting research fellow at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA)\, and the Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) and a researcher at the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE). She received a number of prestigious awards and research grants\, including the individual research grant of the African Peacebuilding Network in 2017\, and the Presidential Fellowship of the African Studies Association.\n
