Film | A Streetcar Named Desire (1951): Four time Oscar winning drama by Elia Kazan
Disturbed Blanche DuBois moves in with her sister in New Orleans and is tormented by her brutish brother-in-law while her reality crumbles around her. 122 min. Starring Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter. The movie is adapted from Tennessee Williams's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 play of the same name. In 1999, A Streetcar Named Desire was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". A Streetcar Named Desire won four awards at the 24th Academy Awards. The film set an Oscar record when it became the first film to win in three acting categories (a feat only since matched by Network). The awards it won were for Actress in a Leading Role (Leigh), Actor in a Supporting Role (Malden), Actress in a Supporting Role (Hunter), and Art Direction. Upon release of the film, Marlon Brando, virtually unknown at the time of the play's casting, rose to prominence as a major Hollywood film star, and received the first of four consecutive Academy Award nominations for Best Actor.

Workshop | Backroads & Backpacks: Photography Off the Beaten Path
The world is full of wonderful places to photograph wilderness, but the opportunities for the most original images tend to lie off the beaten path—sometimes very far off. Chris Nicholson, author of Photographing National Parks, and Sherry Pincus, photographer and veteran backpacker, want to bring you to some of those places. In this two-hour presentation, they will discuss how to find unique photos in popular national parks and other natural spaces by driving the primitive roads and hiking the long trails, venturing far from the overlooks, the information signs and the tourists. Nicholson and Pincus will examine not only the how-to, but also the how-to-gear-up and the how-to-stay-safe. They will reveal “the 10 essentials,” how to pack a 4WD or a backpack, what kind of tent to sleep in, how to carry a camera dozens of miles into the mountains, which lenses to bring, how to eat and hydrate, and what never to leave at home. They’ll cover everything from day jaunts to overnight camping, from establishing a basecamp to trekking hut-to-hut, from extended backcountry hikes to roaming off-trail into the bush. The talk will be an introduction for photographers unfamiliar with camping and backpacking, and also an opportunity for experienced explorers to consider how they might expand their approach. Backpacking equipment will be discussed from the perspective of incorporating camera gear while dealing with choices that are affected by weight restrictions and safe travel. The presentation will not be all theory and guidelines. The aforementioned info will be couched in accounts of remote photo trips that they have personally embarked on, in locations such as Death Valley, Big Bend, Mount Rainier, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, Lassen Volcanic, Canyonlands, Glacier and Olympic national parks, as well as Wyoming’s Wind River Range, Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains, Canada’s Mount Robson and Lake O’Hara, Europe’s Tour du Mont Blanc, and Patagonia’s Torres del Paine.

Author Reading | My Life as a Spy by Katherine Verdery
Professor and author Katherine Verdery will discuss her latest book, My Life as a Spy. As Katherine Verdery observes, "There's nothing like reading your secret police file to make you wonder who you really are." In 1973 Verdery began her doctoral fieldwork in the Transylvanian region of Romania, ruled at the time by communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. She returned several times over the next twenty-five years, during which time the secret police—the Securitate—compiled a massive surveillance file on her. Reading through its 2,781 pages, she learned that she was "actually" a spy, a CIA agent, a Hungarian agitator, and a friend of dissidents: in short, an enemy of Romania. In My Life as a Spy she analyzes her file alongside her original field notes and conversations with Securitate officers.

Opening Reception | Animal Static: A Darkly Comic Interactive Exhibit Triggered by Motion Sensors
An interactive installation from multidisciplinary artist and performer Lex Brown, in which motion-sensors trigger the viewer’s own participation in a fractilinear, darkly comic landscape of language and geometry. Brown’s cast of humorous characters draw us into an evolving, self-contained narrative circuit, presenting each of us with slips in reality that we’ve already begun to build into our everyday. As we race toward a horizon—on which a climate eclipse, a fully automated future, and identity null point appear to lie—will we find that horizon to be round and ever-receding, like the ever-receding satisfaction of a Netflix Binge, or that it is in fact a sharp corner, from which we’ll enter another plane of existence? Lex Brown is an artist, musician, and writer. Her work plays with the scale of personal and emotional experience in relation to large scale systems of social and economic organization. She has performed and exhibited work at the the New Museum, the High Line, the International Center of Photography, and Deli Gallery in New York; REDCAT Theater and The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles; and at the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway.

Opening Reception | I Can’t Sleep: Homage to a Uyghur Homeland: A Photographic Installation
Women and children – posturing, gazing, playing on bed frames – become “coincidental subjects,” their vivid garments sharply accentuated against the muted earth tones of the vast Taklamakan Desert. This far west region of China (Xinjiang), home to the Uyghur people, is a place Lisa Ross has imaged and imagined for over 15 years. Recently, the Chinese state has amplified its efforts to forcibly assimilate minority populations, imbuing the artist with a sense of urgency to display these pictures.

Discussion | 'I Was, I Am, I Will Be': The Historical Legacy and Contemporary Relevance of Rosa Luxemburg
This event takes place in the context of the exhibition Rosa Luxemburg: A Thousand More Things, which marks the 100th anniversary of Rosa Luxemburg’s murder on January 15, 1919. The exhibition is a jump-off point for a discussion of her contemporary impact. The panel discussion features contributions by feminist philosopher Drucilla Cornell and artist Kai Lumumba Barrow. Highlighting Rosa Luxemburg’s writings on colonialism, they link her political ideas to burning issues concerning the colonization of the natural world—in particular environmental racism, extractivism, displacement, and other forms of structural oppression. Drucilla Cornell will demonstrate how Rosa Luxemburg’s love of the earth and all beings on it—sentient or not—goes against the notion that Marxism is a form of outdated humanism. She offers a reading of Rosa’s socialism against the much later writings on African Socialism, which argued that the human/nature divide had to be completely rethought. In her contribution, Kai Lumumba Barrow presents Fugitive Crossings: Beautifully Dehydrated (for Rosa), a queer Black feminist take on the fissures, passageways, and rites of Black fugitivity. Inspired by Rosa Luxemburg’s herbarium, this multimedia "talk" creates a dialogue with letters, journal entries, and oral statements from women prisoners, and it uses the persona of DJ Trickster for a sonic exploration of Rosa.
