Staged Reading | Color Girls: Skin Tone and Early Television


In Ife Olujobi's play, in 1950s California, Marie McNamara spent hours sitting in front of a camera, holding scarves, and helped invent color television. Then it stole her soul. Color Girls is a kaleidoscopic, multimedia new play chronicling the involvement of white women and their likenesses in the creation of a universal, decades-spanning image standard, and the way visual medias have struggled to reproduce non-white skin tones ever since—from the analog technologies of the mid-twentieth century to our contemporary digital landscape.

Staged Reading | Declaration of Conscience: Facing McCarthyism


In Sharyn Rothstein's play, in 1948, Margaret Chase Smith becomes the only woman in the United States Senate, a moderate Republican determined to show she can be just as tough as any of her male colleagues. But as the Cold War reaches into America's communities, Margaret finds herself increasingly wary of a fellow Republican: Joseph McCarthy. As McCarthy grows in power, Margaret is forced to decide whether to take on the star of her own party and sacrifice her political career, or live with her silence and the ramifications to the country she loves.

Lecture | Historical Injustice, Agency, and Resentment


In societies marked by deep and enduring structural inequality—often along lines of caste, race, gender or other forms of identity—how is responsibility for such injustice assigned? How is the agency necessary to overcome historical injustice imagined? These lectures will use Bhim Rao Ambedkar's writings as a starting point to explore the moral psychology of responding to historical injustice.  Lecture by Pratap Bhanu Mehta.

Talk | Artist Talk: Brujas Theory (online)


In Arianna Gil’s practice, a gallery becomes a training facility, a residency becomes a mutual aid hub, and a skateboarding brand becomes a labor union for cultural producers, offering health insurance membership cards and cash for tricks. Most recently, World Shine was a collaboration with a neighborhood acupuncture clinic to promote wellbeing in a culture that charges urban youth for access to their own value. Their theory of deathstyle explains how sex, death, and grief are sacred material that exceed the feedback loop of lifestyle marketing. In this talk, we’ll discuss past and future projects, engage with Brujas World Syndicate curriculum, and think together about what it could mean to reclaim the outdoors in New York City in the current pandemic.

Author Reading | All the White Friends I Couldn’t Keep: Hope—and Hard Pills to Swallow—About Fighting for Black Lives (online)


When the rallying cry “Black Lives Matter” was heard across the world in 2013, award-winning musician, writer, and activist Andre Henry was one of the millions for whom the movement caused a political awakening—and a rupture in some of his closest relationships with white people. In his personal and thought-provoking book, Henry shares stories from his own path to activism and explores how the historical divides between Black people and non-Black people are expressed through our most mundane interactions, and why this struggle won’t be resolved through civil discourse, diversity hires, interracial relationships, or education.
