Lecture | Possible Future: Looking Backwards?
A lecture by Alexander Kiossev, István Deák Visiting Professor of Slavic Languages. Moderated by Valentina Izmirlieva. Today, there is often talk of a lack of alternatives, a crisis of imagination, and “defuturing.” Many believe that in order to escape the claustrophobic lack of alternatives of neoliberalism, one needs a new perspective that opens up possibilities for a better world. However, this appeal itself is not quite a new one. Humanity has been dreaming for centuries, longing for happiness, opening up possible worlds, building projects, scenarios, and utopias for the future. Throughout its long history, some of these world-building dreams have been realized and unexpectedly turned into terrifying dystopias. Isn’t this a good reason to look analytically back at the risky history of dreams themselves? In this lecture, explore the demiurgic avant-garde art that emerged after the First World War. This was a time when artists indulged in grandiose fantastic projects and expansive horizons. Using examples from the Soviet avant-garde of the 1920s, we will examine both the visionary and self-exploring, reflexive aspects of utopianism. Soviet poets, writers, and artists of that time sought out possibilities even in the most peculiar and seemingly insane projects, that violated the principle of common sense reality; simultaneously they explored the dangerous limits of their dreams, too.

Lecture | World War II Memory in the Soviet Union and Putin’s Russia (in-person and online)
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has gone to extraordinary lengths to commemorate the Second World War. Even though the war ended over 77 years ago, Putin has made World War II memory central to contemporary Russian national identity. This talk will compare Soviet and post-Soviet war memorialization to show the ways in which Soviet narratives and symbols continue to inform war commemoration in Russia today. It will also explore how Putin uses war remembrance to try to promote patriotism and build support for his war in Ukraine. Speaker David L. Hoffmann is College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of History at Ohio State University.

Book Discussion | Dark Agoras: Insurgent Black Social Life and the Politics of Place
In this book, author J.T. Roane shows how working-class Black communities cultivated two interdependent modes of insurgent assembly—dark agoras—in twentieth century Philadelphia. He investigates the ways they transposed rural imaginaries about and practices of place as part of their spatial resistances and efforts to contour industrial neighborhoods. In acts that ranged from the mundane acts of refashioning intimate spaces to expressly confrontational and liberatory efforts to transform the city’s social and ecological arrangement, these communities challenged the imposition of Progressive and post-Progressive visions for urban order seeking to enclose or displace them.

Lecture | First Art: Gardens of Eden and the Human Condition
The Garden of Eden is the most famous work of horticulture in history, but it is better known for what happened there than for being a garden. If the Garden of Eden existed, it would have been in the Middle East. As a work of imagination, it was grounded in the cultural life of the region, and its meanings evolved as successive faith communities incorporated it into their theology, literature, art, and gardens. This talk explores how the garden God planted in Eden has shaped horticultural thought and art in the cultures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and how this paradise still holds significance for our challenged earth.

Screening | Bugs and Beasts and Other Bodies
A screening and presentation with Alexis Kyle Mitchell to discuss her collaborative film and installation Bugs & Beasts Before the Law along with other projects. Bugs & Beasts Before the Law is an experimental film that explores the medieval practice of putting animals on trial. This history of colonial law-making forged political and sometimes profane relationships between humans and animals. Mitchell's essayistic work reimagines common perceptions of legal history and, in doing so, produces a world where past and present, fiction and non-fiction, human and animal fuse. Mitchell will also present other projects, including her current film-in-progress about a rare neuromuscular genetic disease that runs in her family.

Book Discussion | This Flame Within: Iranian Revolutionaries in the US
Manijeh Moradian's book tells the story of Iranian foreign students who came to the US in the 1960s and 1970s and joined a global uprising against US imperialism. The book investigates the transnational process that shaped revolutionary subjectivity and fueled a movement to end US support for the Shah of Iran. Drawing on in-depth interviews with veterans of the Iranian Students Association, the US affiliate of the Confederation of Iranian Students, as well as extensive archival research, the book traces “revolutionary affects” from encounters with imperialism and dictatorship in Iran to joint organizing with other radicalized student activists in the US. In the context of antiracist and anticolonial movements, the revolutionary affects of differently targeted populations converged into an “affects of solidarity,” an embodied force that animated Third World internationalism. Locating Iranian foreign students as participants in the Afro-Asian connections that marked a highpoint of the era, the book considers the gendered aspects of revolutionary affects as the conditions of possibility for the emergence of Third World feminism.

Lecture | Interpreting the (Ontological) Security Politics of US Naval Ship Museums

It utilizes ontological security as a lens through which one can interpret the role of varying streams of identity politics, with a specific focus on the routines, narratives, and expertise, all at work at these sites. Steele's presentation is part of a broader, long-term project on these sites, and merely represents a starting point for that inquiry.

Video | Mao Meets Muddy (1989): Video and Discussion
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) and the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture co-present this screening of Anthony Ramos’s Mao Meets Muddy (1989), considered by the artist to be his final video before shifting his emphasis to painting. In this rarely-screened video, Ramos captures a trip to Beijing made with his close friend and collaborator, painter Frederick J. Brown, who was mounting a retrospective of his work at the National Museum of China in 1988—considered to be the first solo exhibition of a Western artist in China post-Cultural Revolution. Throughout the footage, Ramos reflects on Sino-American relations, and documents cultural collisions including his and Brown’s interactions with local children and a Chinese man breakdancing in front of Brown’s portrait of Bessie Smith. Any air of jubilant possibility is undercut by the video’s setting of Tiananmen Square; in a postlude, Ramos videotapes himself tuning into the media coverage of the 1989 massacre the following year. Ramos will be joined by artist and curator Bentley Brown, son of Frederick J. Brown, for a discussion on this video and Ramos and Frederick Brown’s long-standing collaboration. Ramos began documenting the painter’s process in the mid-’70s with Portrait of an Artist (1975), showing Brown in his 120 Wooster Street studio loft set to music by Anthony Braxton. Ramos was a part of a revolving cast of artists, poets, and musicians involved in Brown’s space, which regularly hosted gatherings and performances. Ramos continued to tape the painter’s practice even after his official retirement as a “video artist,” capturing the loft’s final performance in 1991 by Felipe Luciano, and Brown’s post-New York studio in Arizona.

Book Discussion | Speaking Yiddish to Chickens: Holocaust Survivors on South Jersey Poultry Farms (online)
Author Seth Stern discusses his new book. Most of the roughly 140,000 Holocaust survivors who came to the United States in the first decade after World War II settled in big cities such as New York. But a few thousand chose an alternative way of life on American farms. More of these accidental farmers wound up raising chickens in southern New Jersey than anywhere else. Speaking Yiddish to Chickens is the first book to chronicle this little-known chapter in American Jewish history when these mostly Eastern European refugees – including the author’s grandparents – found an unlikely refuge and gateway to new lives in the US on poultry farms. They gravitated to a section of south Jersey anchored by Vineland, a small rural city where previous waves of Jewish immigrants had built a rich network of cultural and religious institutions.

Video | Full Disclosure: Selected Video-Performances 1972-75 (online thru Apr 30)
An online streaming program of a selection of Anthony Ramos’s video-performances circa 1972-1975, a fertile period for the artist then based in Los Angeles. Ramos’s interest in time and duration stems in part from his long friendship with Allan Kaprow, with whom he studied and worked under as a teaching assistant, and who housed him following his imprisonment for conscientious objection. Ramos met Kaprow while a student at the Southern Illinois University and participated in a handful of the artist’s iconic “happenings,” including the ambitious 1967 event Fluids,, which involved the construction of several intricate igloos across Pasadena. He was later part of a coterie of West coast figures inspired by Kaprow to mount their own interventions—Ramos often staged prankish, ephemeral art events with fellow artists Joe Ray and Lowell Darling, who appear in the two plastic bag videos.

Talk | On the Ground: Socially Engaged Movements
Artist and activist Betty Yu examines on-the-ground socially engaged movements, in particular the growing grassroots movement in NYC calling for the abolition of prisons, the police state and the carceral system as a whole. Since 2017, the city has continued to push forward plans to build 4 borough based jails in the guise of closing Rikers Island, one of the worst prisons in the U.S. One of those jails is in the heart of NYC’s Chinatown in Lower Manhattan. It will be the tallest jailscraper in the world. The other jails are being proposed in Kew Gardens, Queens; Downtown Brooklyn, and in Mott Haven, Bronx. Meanwhile, prominent activists from the feminist and social justice movement are praising a new initiative to build a "Feminist" Jail in Harlem. Yu is assembling a roundtable discussion which will highlight grassroots approaches to advancing the fight for abolition in immigrant, low-income and communities of color.
