Author Reading | We, The Sovereign
Professor and author Gianpaolo Baiocchi will discuss his latest book We, the Sovereign. "What does it mean for the people to actually rule? Formal democracy is an empty and cynical shell, while the nationalist Right claims to advance its anti-democratic project in the name of ‘the People’. How can the Left respond in a way that is true to both its radical egalitarianism and its desire to transform the real world? In this book, Gianpaolo Baiocchi argues that the only answer is a radical utopia of popular self-rule. This means that the ‘people’ who rule must be understood as a demos that is totally open, inclusive and egalitarian, constantly expanding its boundaries. But it also means that sovereignty must be absolute, possessing total power over all relevant decisions that impact the conditions of life. Only, he argues, by a process of explosive and creative tension between this radical view of the ‘we’ and an absolute idea of the ‘sovereign’ can we transform our approach to political parties and state institutions and make them instruments of total emancipation.

Opening Reception | Monumental Practice: Studies for an Artist's Last Major Project
A significant group of works by American artist Charles White (1918–1979). On view for the first time since the 1970s will be four monumentally scaled ink-and-charcoal drawings made by the artist as studies for the figures in his mural "Mary McLeod Bethune," completed in 1978 for the Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Regional Library in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, as well as related preparatory works and ephemera documenting the project—White’s last major artistic endeavor during his lifetime. Charles White was an American artist known for his chronicling of African American related subjects in paintings and murals.
