Discussion | Artist Talk: Time and Place are No Longer Singular
A virtual conversation between artist Ezra Wube and Associate Curator of Arts of Global Africa at The Newark Museum of Art, Henone Girma. Wube is a mixed-media artist living in Brooklyn, whose work explores fragmented senses of time and place to forge newly imagined realities. Wube’s own experience of navigating between different geographies—from the country of his birth, Ethiopia, to his new home in the United States—shapes his approach to storytelling through art. His work incorporates both traditional and contemporary media and references, using collage and animation to create multilayered, fluid explorations of here and there, then and now. His mixed media installation Project Junction, a site-specific commission that considers food as an expression of collective identity in its ever evolving state, is currently on view at The Africa Center. The conversation will be introduced by Alana Francis de Govia, Chief Program and Experience Officer at The Africa Center.

Lecture | Yiddish Theatre in South America (1930-1960): Transnational Networks and Artistic Exchange (online)
During the interwar period, a large population of Yiddish-speaking Jews settled in South America, escaping difficult living conditions and antisemitism in Europe. For Jewish immigrants, Yiddish theatre functioned as a meeting place where they could share their mother tongue and deal with the feeling of longing for the “alter heym.” As a result, the major cities of the region—Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago de Chile, and Montevideo—became important Yiddish theatre centers and attractive destinations for Yiddish artists. At the same time, by the 1930s, Yiddish theatre audiences in the U.S. and Europe were starting to decline, so actors increasingly toured countries where Yiddish theatre thrived, as was the case in South America. This multidirectional migratory movement of European Jews during the interwar period and the internationally used language of Yiddish contributed to the creation of an extensive transnational network of Yiddish artists, which allowed them to perform throughout the world. In this lecture, Dr. Paula Ansaldo will explore the development of the South American Yiddish theatre scene and the connections it established with the main Yiddish cultural centers of the time in the U.S. and Europe and with the larger theatrical ecosystem of South America.

Book Discussion | Ma and Me: A Memoir of Inherited Trauma (online)
When Putsata Reang was eleven months old, her family fled war-torn Cambodia, spending twenty-three days on an overcrowded navy vessel before finding sanctuary at an American naval base in the Philippines. Holding what appeared to be a lifeless baby in her arms, Ma resisted the captain’s orders to throw her bundle overboard. Instead, on landing, Ma rushed her baby into the arms of American military nurses and doctors, who saved the child's life. “I had hope, just a little, you were still alive,” Ma would tell Put in an oft-repeated story that became family legend. Over the years, Put lived to please Ma and make her proud, hustling to repay her life debt by becoming the consummate good Cambodian daughter, working steadfastly by Ma’s side in the berry fields each summer and eventually building a successful career as an award-winning journalist. But Put's adoration and efforts are no match for Ma's expectations. When she comes out to Ma in her twenties, it's just a phase. When she fails to bring home a Khmer boyfriend, it's because she's not trying hard enough. When, at the age of forty, Put tells Ma she is finally getting married—to a woman—it breaks their bond in two. In her startling memoir, Reang explores the long legacy of inherited trauma and the crushing weight of cultural and filial duty. With rare clarity and lyric wisdom, Ma and Me is a stunning, deeply moving memoir about love, debt, and duty.

Concert | Quartet Led by Exceptional Austrian Trumpeter
"The grass is greener on the other side" seems to be the artistic motto of the exceptional Austrian trumpeter from Berlin - Richard Koch. Strictly speaking, he no longer lives in Berlin, but last winter moved to a rural commune in Brandenburg.. But he is still drawn to the city to make music, where he records and plays concerts with Nils Frahm, Jimi Tenor, Peter Fox and the Beatsteaks, among others. He plays the trumpet and in many different genres and styles. The physicalness of music is most important to his work. This led to numerous projects fusing music with other forms of art (dance, fine arts, speech) but also resulted in performances on big stages in the pop- and classical sector.
