Colloquium | Explore the Intersection of Democracy & Psychiatry (In Person AND Online!)
In what ways can the critics of psychiatry and psychiatric institutions teach us new ways of thinking about democracy today? This colloquium will attempt to answer this question by reflecting on both historical and contemporary approaches to the psychiatric institution. Speakers will discuss in particular the figure of Franco Basaglia, the prominent Italian psychiatrist who sought to revolutionize his own discipline and practice, and who inspired the so-called Legge Basaglia (1978), which ultimately led to the closure of psychiatric hospitals in Italy, long regarded as sites of socio-economic oppression. Basaglia also founded an association of psychiatrists— Psichiatria Democratica (Democratic Psychiatry)—whose very name signals the deep interconnection he envisioned between psychiatry and democracy. The colloquium will approach these complex issues from both inside and outside psychiatry: the parentheses around “(Anti)” in the title are meant to suggest precisely this ambiguity. Speakers: Mario Colucci, Psychiatrist - Dipartimento di salute mentale di Udine - Pierangelo Di Vittorio, Philosopher and writer - Fabian Freyenhagen, University of Essex - Silvia Lippi, Psychoanalyst - François Noudelmann, NYU Professor of French Literature, Thought, and Culture

Musical | Pre-Broadway Run! Glory Ride (Concert Version)
The musical Glory Ride unveils the true, untold story of a secret network to rescue children from the grip of Italy's fascist regime. The Blackshirts had tanks and guns--Gino Bartali had only a bicycle. How did a Tour de France-winning cyclist and a rogue Cardinal from Tuscany team up to pull off one of the most daring heists of World War II? How did he outwit the Blackshirts and save so many lives? And why did he never speak of it again? This musical brings to life this uplifting tale of courage, resistance, and the quiet strength of the human spirit.

Lecture | Communications Tech Expert Talks about Environmental Impact of Media
For this talk, Small File Media Festival founder Laura U. Marks will explain some of the reasons for information and communication technologies' environmental impact. Further, she’ll argue that the large files of streaming established the infrastructure of data centers, networks, and devices that machine learning applications later came to exploit. Marks founded the Small File Media Festival to draw attention to the alarming and quickly growing environmental impact of information and communication technologies (ICT). The festival invites makers to submit works of a tiny bitrate of max. 1.44 megabytes per minute, demonstrating that moving-image medium can be absorbing and provocative without a high carbon footprint. Marks argues that he solution to this disastrous environmental impact can only be degrowth. Small files contribute to the graceful decline in which humans begin to make do with sparser infrastructure, on the model of countries in the global South.

Opening Reception | Photograph Exhibition Centering Women, Performance, & Gesture: Holding Water
Experience Holding Water, an exhibition of photographs by Genesis Báez. For Báez, the images on view anchor Blue Sun / Sol Azul, her first monograph. These pictures and experiences center women, performance, and gesture. Báez’s pictures give delicate form to the intertwined experiences of migration, placemaking, and kinship. Born in the United States to Puerto Rican parents, Báez stages, improvises, and performs scenes for the camera that conjure the bonds, both profound and at times elusive, between the artist, her mother, and the two places they both call home. Poignant gestures—a hand gently cupping a shoulder, thumbs just breaking the water’s surface—and intangible forms—light beams, vapor, shadow, night sky—travel across the images, connecting one to the other to the other and giving shape to the slipperiness, unfixedness, and permeability of the diasporic experience.

Book Discussion | The Extraordinary Life of Colonel Charles Young (In Person AND Online!)
Join military historian and author Brian G. Shellum for an in-depth look at the life and legacy of Colonel Charles Young, one of the most groundbreaking figures in U.S. military history. Young was the third Black graduate of West Point, the first African American national park superintendent, the first Black U.S. military attache, the first African American officer to command a Regular Army regiment, and, until his death, the highest-ranking Black officer in the Regular Army. Shellum's extensive research illuminates Young's extraordinary achievements and the barriers he faced in an era of profound racial prejudice that ultimately denied him the chance to become the first African American general.
