SUMMARY:Africa~Diaspora Forum: Peter Hulme
DESCRIPTION:Drums over Harlem: Signifying Africa\, 1919-1932 \nIn the 1920s in New York the jazz cabaret was seen as offering what the writer Eric Walrond called “Africa undraped”\, and its sound was the tom-tom.  This talk will explore the period’s fascination with that instrument and with what it might signify\, focusing on two texts entitled Tom-Tom\, both of which offer to associate contemporary Harlem with “Africa”\, in one or another of its manifestations.\nPeter Hulme is Emeritus Professor at the University of Essex\, where he taught for 40 years.  His books include Colonial Encounters: Europe and the Native Caribbean\, 1492 1797 (1986)\, Cuba’s Wild East: A Literary Geography of Oriente (2011)\, and The Dinner at Gonfarone’s: Salomón de la Selva’s Pan-American Project in Nueva York\, 1915-1919 (2019).

SUMMARY:Faculty Brown Bag: Christine Dang
DESCRIPTION:Encountering the Other:  Religious Voices in the City \nOne key thread in the contemporary history of Africa – a thread running parallel to and entwining with those of decolonization\, independence\, and nation-building – is urbanization. Throughout the past century\, the continent has witnessed the mass migration of people from the countryside to the city\, and the rapid growth of cities\, both in size and in significance as paradigms of postcolonial society. This presentation is a reflection on spirituality and the urban\, as refracted through the lens of musical practice. I will focus\, in particular\, on Senegal – on the migration of religious believers into its cities during the 20th century\, and the sounds of faith which accompanied this migration. In Senegal – a secular\, Muslim-majority nation – musical piety reverberates across urban areas\, at all hours of the day and night. From the Islamic call to prayer\, to the chanting of Sufi poetry\, to the hymns of the Catholic minority population\, the cities of Senegal are flooded by diverse religious voices\, competing for acoustic and ideological control of public space. In these cities\, Muslim and Christian voices encounter the voices of others\, both sacred and secular; voices interact\, influence\, and are reciprocally influenced by the plurality of sonorities which constitute the urban environment. In their interaction and mutual influence\, religious voices not only transform the sonic landscape of the Senegalese city; they also participate in continual redefinitions of postcolonial identity\, secularism\, and public space.

SUMMARY:Andrés Bello Chair Professor Marisa Belausteguigotia\, 2nd public lecture: PATHWAYS AND FOOTSTEPS IN DETENTION
DESCRIPTION:Venue: KJCC Auditorium // 53 Washington Sq. South\, NYC\nReception to Follow\n\nPATHWAYS AND FOOTSTEPS IN DETENTION: MIGRANTS’ AND PRISONERS’ TRANSLUCENCY – MEXICO/ U.S. BORDER\nHow do female prisoners escape their cells in order to be seen at the borders of nations\, institutions and disciplines? How do obscured migrants and prisoners leave traces within systems oriented to repress and disappear them? Professor Marisa Belausteguigoitia explores these questions through the trope of translucence\, that combination of light and shadow that shows the contours of an obscured object without rendering it fully clear. Through videos and images that tell the story of how prisoners in Mexico City escaped their cells and came together with migrants at the US border\, Prof. Belausteguigoitia illuminates their conjoined presence\, voices\, and forms of resistance against the conjoined violence in Mexico and the United States today.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Celda 211” by Daniel Monzón
DESCRIPTION:NYUSPS CALA Spring 2019 Film Series: Crime and Punishment around the World: Incarceration on Film \nScreening of “Celda 211” Dir. Daniel Monzón (Spain\, 2009). Introduced by Felipe Vara del Rey (NYU Tisch\, Film) \nAbout the Film: The story of two men on different sides of a prison riot – the inmate leading the rebellion and the young guard trapped in the revolt\, who poses as a prisoner in a desperate attempt to survive the ordeal. \nWinner of eight Goya Awards including Best Film. \nAbout the Film Series \nThe notion of crime as an illegal act that is punishable by a government authority implies a clear differentiation between right and wrong. Mass incarceration further symbolizes the concept that a physical space drawn in bars and walls can impose a simple order onto a world that defies borders and neat categories. The purpose of punishment is to avenge\, to incapacitate\, and to deter\, but does it work? Is justice served more than it is not? And might the abuses of mass incarceration be inherent to its practice? This series of international films takes a closer look at different interpretations of crime and punishment and what they say about a country’s values\, collective identities\, and understanding of history. \nSponsored by NYU SPS Center for Applied Liberal Studies.

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
