Conference | Weaving Words, Sculpting Sentiments: Manipulating Emotions in Public Spaces of the Ancient Mediterranean (in-person and online)
Emotions play a large role in even basic decision-making, as recent research continues to demonstrate. Fear, sadness, pride, guilt, shame, awe, joy, and disgust all inform our decisions and influence our participation in social movements. Emotional responses can arise from our relationships with other people, impacted by their own decisions that affect us, but also from our relationship with institutions. For various reasons, these institutions often manipulate emotional responses across the entire public through rhetoric, iconography, space, religion, or architecture. This conference, will explore the interplay in antiquity between the manipulation of emotions through public displays (written, spoken, material, or visual mediums) and the collective or individual responses to these manipulations.

Symposium | Light + Justice Symposium 2024: Interior Spaces (in-person and online)
A symposium to explore how indoor lighting quality—especially in public facilities—is generally neglected for marginalized, under-resourced, and vulnerable occupants. Everyone deserves good lighting and beneficial darkness, especially indoors, where most of us spend most of our time. Good lighting is an investment in occupant satisfaction, well-being, and productivity. This hybrid event is an opportunity for lighting professionals to recognize inequities that can perpetuate inequitable indoor lighting for vulnerable occupants, including people of color, the aging, the impaired, and the incarcerated. Panels including experts in lighting, design, and community engagement will be featured to discuss both the challenges and benefits of addressing these systemic inequities as an industry and offer case studies that engage these communities to provide equitable, quality lighting for neglected interior spaces and vulnerable occupants.

Discussion | “If not us, then who?”: Understanding Ukrainian Civilians’ Engagement in the War Effort Since February 2022
Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, analysts and observers around the world were shocked and surprised that Ukraine did not fall in a matter of days or weeks. Instead people across the country resisted with both military and civilian means, halting the Russian advance. Surveys indicate that over 80% of the Ukrainian population contributed to the war effort in some way (e.g. Onuch et al 2022, 2023), suggesting that Ukrainian civilians have made a crucial, if hard-to-quantify, contribution to Ukraine’s continued resistance. However, scholarship on civilian wartime engagement more broadly tends to focus on decisions to join the military or to flee following the onset of conflict – meaning that our understanding of how and why civilians mobilise in non-combatant roles is limited. Drawing on recent fieldwork conducted in Ukraine, this talk discusses the diverse roles Ukrainian civilians are playing in the war effort and what motivates this engagement, particularly in parts of Ukraine most acutely impacted by the war. The discussion will also contextualize this engagement in Ukraine’s longer history of civilian mobilization, based upon Emma’s doctoral research into mass mobilization in Ukraine prior to 2022.

Opening Reception | Arthur Jafa: Black Power Tool and Die
New work by Los Angeles–based artist Arthur Jafa (b. 1960). Lauded for his achievements as a filmmaker and cinematographer as well as a visual artist, Jafa has developed an incisive, chameleonic practice, through which he seeks to unravel the cultural significance and strictures ascribed in tandem upon Black existence in the Western world. Spanning the length of the gallery will be a site-specific installation—a plexiglass structure that Jafa refers to as a “picture unit”—whose interior will be covered from floor to ceiling in the artist’s characteristically potent imagery, drawing the viewer through its labyrinthine halls. Jafa has also created new paintings, sculptures, and a new film, all of which will be installed around the gallery, their forms and colors reflected onto the picture unit’s exterior in a charged and destabilizing kind of visual doubling.

Concert | Afro-Cuban Group's Joyous Sounds
Juno Award-winning Afro-Cuban group Okan, led by singer-songwriters Elizabeth Rodriguez on violin and Magdelys Savigne on percussion, make joyous music that doesn't fit comfortably into any single genre pigeonhole. Their raucous drums, catchy hooks, and Spanish language lyrics suggest they might best be stashed alongside erstwhile collaborators Bomba Estereo or Lido Pimienta as "alterlatino," but their lavishly produced scores and inclination toward high-flying improvisation evoke jazz fusion. The Toronto-based combo's latest album, 2023's Okantomi, is an internationally charting showcase for their powerful harmonies, elevated musicianship, provocatively playful themes, and wide-ranging tastes. NPR's Alt Latino has named the Okantomi to be among the best music of 2023. Passionate advocates for freedom of expression, queer rights, and gender equality, Okan has also gained a reputation for making lifetime fans at their electrifying live performances.
