SUMMARY:Caught in the Act: Desire\, Womanhood\, and the “Good Woman” in Nollywood
DESCRIPTION:Caught in the Act: Desire\, Womanhood\, and the “Good Woman” in Nollywood\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgrammed by Gallatin MA Candidate Eliel Peterson\, join NYU’s Center for Black Visual Culture for a screening of the 2008 Nollywood film Caught in the Act\, directed by Charles Inojie and co-presented by Nolly Babes. The film follows separated twin sisters (Genevieve Nnaji) whose lives collide when one sister kidnaps her unsuspecting niece. \nThe screening will be followed by a conversation featuring Venessa Appiah and Jediael Peterson\, current doctoral scholars whose work engages questions of gender\, the performance of identity\, and Black visual culture. Together\, the panelists will consider how Nollywood has represented women’s desire and agency\, the cultural expectations attached to the figure of the “good woman\,” and the ways African filmmakers use popular cinema to negotiate\, and sometimes challenge\, ideas of respectability\, gender\, and womanhood. \nRather than treating these questions as fixed or universal\, the conversation will explore how ideas about womanhood are produced through cinema and how Nollywood provides audiences with a space to encounter the contradictions\, desires\, and negotiations that shape gendered life across African contexts. \nThe evening will begin with an introduction by Yasmin Gbaja and include a DJ set by Neema\, creating space for gathering\, conversation\, and community before and after the screening. \n\nRSVP \nDates:  September 23\, 2026 \nTime:  6:00 – 8:30 pm \nLocation: 20 Cooper Square 3rd Floor Lobby\, New York\, NY\, 10003 \n

SUMMARY:Black Portraiture[s]: The Black Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:Black Portraiture[s]: Los Angeles The Black Built Environment\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlack Portraiture[s]: Los Angeles: The Black Built Environment will examine the historicity and rich panoply encompassing the Black built environment\, both physical and imagined. Exploring the concept and its relationship to photography\, architecture\, urban planning\, and visual culture\, artists have reconceived and reconstructed visions of our built environment while exploring themes conversant with the spiritual and ritualistic continuities of the African diaspora. Moreover\, this convening will explore the artistic contributions to forms of memory\, visual legacies of Black townships\, and the charges of conceived spaces therein. The conference will present and encourage research and scholarship on continuities between modern and contemporary visual and structural approaches\, centering the audacity of Black-built environments from within the Diaspora’s politics\, architecture\, art\, film\, music\, migrations\, and global iterations. For registration questions\, contact aaahi-events@getty.edu.Co-Hosted by New York University\, Getty\, and UCLA \nBlack Portraiture[s] will be offering a hybrid option for those who cannot attend in person. \nRSVP \nDates:  September 28 – 30\, 2026 \nTime:   \nLocations:  \n
