SUMMARY:The Price of Home:
DESCRIPTION:A Reading of Lisa B. Thompson’s Underground\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReplay Event – Click Here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa B. Thompson’s Underground (winner of the Austin Critics Table David Mark Cohen New Play Award) reunites Kyle and Mason\, a pair of old college friends who have gone from radicals in their youth to successful professionals approaching middle age. The two have a chance to catch-up\, reminisce and engage one another in a battle of intellects over the best road to Black liberation. As their argument becomes increasingly passionate and more personal\, news reports reveal a police search for the leader of a Black radical political movement focused on reparations. From flashbacks to their first meeting to the final game of chess that could change their lives forever\, Mason and Kyle each pose to one another the central question of Underground: how far would you go to protect your people? \n\n\n\nThis event is part of our year-long exploration on the theme of “Home\, What does it look like now?” How can we reconsider home in the 21st century as we cross states and borders seeking comfort\, safety and identity? Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and state sanctioned violence against black bodies\, the Center for Black Visual Culture (CBVC) will explore the significant ways black visual narratives respond to the cultural\, dynamic political\, social\, economic as well intimate changes that force us to (re)interrogate previous conceptions of home. \n\n\n\nThis reading of an excerpt from Underground will be followed by a conversation with playwright\, Lisa B. Thompson\, Bobby and Sherri Patton Professor of African and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Texas at Austin\, and author of Underground\, Monroe\, and The Mamalogues: Three Plays\, and William Darity\, Samuel DuBois Cook Distinguished Professor of Public Policy\, and co-author (with Dr. A. Kirsten Mullen) of From Here to Equality\, Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century\, about the price of freedom\, calculating reparations\, and whether Black Americans will ever be “home” in the U.S. The event will conclude with time for audience Q&A. Cosponsored by the 370J Project\, NYU; and the Department of Photography & Imaging\, NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

SUMMARY:Black Portraiture[s] VII: Play & Performance
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers University-Newark brings the global Black Portraiture[s] conference to Newark\, NJ for the first time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this moment of profound uncertainty\, reconnection\, and newfound creativity\, the organizers of the Black Portraiture[s] conferences invite the submission of abstracts summarizing a paper\, panel\, or performance related to the role of “play” in past and contemporary African Diasporic art\, performance\, liberation struggles\, and cultural work. \n\n\n\nPlay is a capacious term. It connotes leisure\, desire\, and jouit\, or indicates musical or athletic virtuosity. Play can be liberatory as in racial masquerades or gender mimicry. But\, it can also be oppressive as well. Pantomimes and minstrelsy have a racist history; while physical sites of play and public recreation have also been places of segregation and discrimination. \n\n\n\nMore subversive types of play engage the absurd\, the excessive\, or the spectacular; and the term “play” itself can signify sexual power relations. At the same time\, play\, as in the Trinidadian concept of “to play mas” during Carnival\, or other similar traditions like the Mardi Gras “Indians” in New Orleans or Junkanoo in the Bahamas\, can be the basis of political resistance and radical performance. \n\n\n\nWe are interested in how African diasporic visual and performing artists and cultural workers have interpreted these ephemeral concepts\, ones that can start in the fluid spaces of black childhood\, reclaim community and Black utopic spaces\, or re-imagine the interconnections between play and race\, gender\, history\, or freedom. \n\n\n\nInitially\, a colloquium at Harvard University on African American art convened by Henry Louis Gates Jr.\, The Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African American Research at Harvard University\, Dr. Deborah Willis\, University Professor and Chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University\, and Manthia Diawara\, Professor of Comparative Literature and Cinema at New York University. Then it went on to Paris\, becoming an international conference series\, co-hosted by Awam Amkpa\, Professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and Cheryl Finley\, Inaugural Director of the Atlanta University Center Collective for the Study of Art History and Curatorial Studies\, Black Portraiture[s] now attracts hundreds of scholars\, artists\, and activists from around the world each convening. \n\n\n\nAs part of the conference\, we will also host three exhibitions that take up these themes. The Paul Robeson Gallery at Express Newark will host an exhibition that meditates on themes of black girlhood through the eyes of Black women and girl photographers. Curated by Jasmine Wahi and Rebecca Jampol\, the Project for Empty Space gallery will also host the debut solo exhibition of photographer and activist\, Scheherazade Tillet\, whose practice uses site-specific work to explore the themes of gender\, racial identity\, and play as a form of freedom for Black girls. The Newark Museum of Art will host Saya Woolfalk’s exhibition Tumbling into the Landscape and her related interactive installation/intervention at Shine Portrait Studio at Express Newark. \n\n\n\nSome topics to be considered: Subversive types of play; Work and play; Safe place of dreams\, imagination; Travel\, tourism; Leisure; Racial masquerades & gender- mimicry; Fashion\, beauty; Musical and theatrical virtuosos; Athleticism\, sports\, games\, professional\, amateur\, entertainment; Activism; Public spaces\, “Blocks”; Black girlhood; Facilitating and therapeutic: “role play”; Observing\, recording; Sexual- Erotic\, Power Relations; Love\, courting; Political Resistance; Artistic process. \n\n\n\nSubmit abstracts of up to 500 words with bios up to 250 words by October 30\, 2021. Please note that all panels will be in person. We will not accept proposals for virtual presentations. \n\n\n\nBlack Portraiture[s] VII\, at Rutgers University-Newark\, is organized by Salamishah Tillet\, the Henry Rutgers Professor of African American and African Studies and Creative Writing and the Director of ExternalExpress Newark and New Arts Justice\, and Nick Kline\, an Associate Professor of Photography\, in the Department of Arts\, Culture\, and Media\, the Creative Director of Express Newark and Founder and Director of SHINE Portrait Studio. \n\n\n\nParticipating institutions include Express Newark\, The Clement A.
