Talk | Hear from Artist Jordan Nassar on His Work of Heritage & Homeland (In Person AND Online!)


Hear a talk from Jordan Nassar, whose art practice engages the material variety of craft to execute ideas centered on heritage and homeland. Through hand-embroidery, wood inlay, glass, mosaics, and expansive installations, he examines identity and diaspora. Nassar often employs “the landscape” as a thread throughout these different mediums, carefully mapping out patterns and repeatedly intercepting them, using fields of color to define rolling hills and expanses of water. Nassar created a body of embroidery work with the participation of craftswomen in Bethlehem, Ramallah, and Hebron, juxtaposing local traditions with a contemporary aesthetic.

Author Reading | Author & Illustrator Duo Share Their New Children's Book, Emily Saw a Door


Celebrate the launch of Emily Saw a Door with author Mel Rosenberg and illustrator Orit Magia. Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s me, Emily. May I come in? And so begins Emily’s search for a door that will open. The first door is blue, and the voice behind the door tells Emily that she doesn’t sound very bluish. The second door says it only opens for tigers, crocodiles, and snakes. But she is a girl named Emily– and the animals are hungry–and so she moves on. The third is only for people who speak very quietly, and the door can hear Emily. Finally, Emily comes to a place without a door. She gets out her chalk and draws one, then adds a doorknob, and goes right in. And when someone knocks on her door, she says, “The door is open!” Here is a wonderful book about inclusion, acceptance, and opening doors for others.

Screening | L.A. Rebellion Film Movement Films from Ethiopian Filmmaker Haile Gerima


This program amplifies the work of Ethiopian filmmaker Haile Gerima, whose filmography dates back to the 1970’s. By the time Gerima graduated from film school at UCLA in 1976, he had made four films and alongside his peers at UCLA, would be canonized among a generation of contemporary Black filmmakers that rejected classic Hollywood Cinema in favor of Latin American, African, and European cinematic approaches. Today, Gerima’s films and those by his peers Charles Burnett, Julie Dash, among others, are now referred to as the L.A. Rebellion Film Movement. This program will feature two films from this movement, beginning with Gerima’s 1973 short, A Child of Resistance, a film that depicts the social imprisonment of a Black woman. Next, we will screen Gerima’s 1993 feature-length film, Sankofa, which follows a model (Oyafunmike Ogunlano) who after encountering a mystic, travels into the past and becomes enslaved.

Talk | Artist & Curator Discusses Indigenous Art in Relation to Space


In conjunction with the Grey Art Museum’s current exhibition Irriṯitja Kuwarri Tjungu: Contemporary Aboriginal Painting from the Australian Desert, this talk by artist and curator Jeremy Dennis situates his practice within broader Indigenous frameworks of time, place, and persistence. As a member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Dennis foregrounds land as a living archive in his work, challenging colonial narratives that frame Indigenous presence as historical rather than ongoing. In conversation with the visual expressions of ancestral continuity in Papunya Tula paintings, Dennis examines how contemporary Indigenous artists maintain relationships to place despite centuries of dispossession and imposed erasure, as well as how their work articulates ideas of time that defy colonial occupation and linear historical models.

Book Discussion | Photographer David Katzenstein Shares His New Book, Distant Journeys


Steeped in documentary and reportage photography tradition, David Katzenstein imbues his work with immediacy, emotional engagement, and a deep respect for his subjects. Distant Journeys is a chronicle of humanity throughout the world developed over a forty-nine-year career. His photographs allow his first-hand experience of cultures and peoples to be shared with the audience as though they were present at the scene. David will present a visual presentation of some of the work and recount some of his experiences travelling the world in search of cultures and peoples. The book will be available for purchase.
