NEA Jazz Master Sheila Jordan will conduct a Master Class on Tues, March 5, for the Jazz Vocal Workshop class hosted by Pamela Pentony at 4:30pm in Blum N211, the Jazz Room.

One of the most consistently creative of all jazz singers, Sheila Jordan has done the maximum with her instrument. She is one of the few vocalists who can improvise logical lyrics (which often rhyme), she is a superb scat singer, and is also an emotional interpreter of ballads. She is one of the few singers to lead her own Blue Note album (1962). She recorded as a leader (in addition to the Blue Note session) for East Wind, Grapevine, SteepleChase, Palo Alto, Blackhawk, and Muse, and  in 1999 with Jazz Child.

Continental Divide: Borderlands Wildlife, People, and the Wall

A photo exhibit exploring the fragile US-México border area

Runs through Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Campus Center, Gallery
“The topic of the border wall between the United States and Mexico continues to be broadly and hotly debated: on national news media, by local and state governments, and even in coffee shops and over the dinner table. By now, broad segments of the population have heard widely varying opinions about the wall’s effect on illegal immigration, international politics, and the drug war. But what about the wall’s effect on the Sonoran pronghorn antelope herds and the kit fox? On the Mexican gray wolf, the ocelot, the jaguar, and the bighorn sheep? In unforgettable images and evocative text, Continental Divide: Wildlife, People, and the Border Wall shows us what’s at stake.” — Krista SchlyerSponsored by: Bard Center for Environmental Policy; Human Rights Project; La Voz; Photography Program.

If Only I Were That Warrior 
 

Film screening and roundtable discussion

Monday, March 25, 2019
6–8 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
If Only I Were That Warrior (2015) is a feature documentary film focusing on the Italian occupation of Ethiopia in 1935. Following the recent construction of a monument dedicated to Fascist general Rodolfo Graziani, the film addresses the unpunished war crimes he and others committed in the name of Mussolini's imperial ambitions. The stories of three characters, filmed in present-day Ethiopia, Italy, and the United States, take the audience on a journey through the living memories and the tangible remains of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia—a journey that crosses generations and continents to today, where this often overlooked legacy still ties the fates of two nations and their people. 

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers, Valerio Ciriaci and Isaak Liptzin, and Bard faculty member Dinaw Mengestu.Sponsored by: Africana Studies Program; American and Indigenous Studies Program; Italian Studies Program; Literature Program.

Latin American Popular Culture and Social Justice: Argentine Tango, Art, and Activism, from Istanbul to Buenos Aires

Dr. Melissa Fitch, Distinguished Professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Arizona

Tuesday, March 26, 2019
5–6:30 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Social media and the internet have changed dramatically the field of global cultural studies in the last decades. This presentation will highlight the global diffusion of Latin American popular culture, specifically Argentine tango, and the connections that it has fostered among international activists and dancers who are using it to bring about campaigns for social justice. The presentation will underscore the efforts of a global network that has used the dance to protest, champion, or publicize creatively various causes, including social justice for LGBTQ communities, the use of urban public space, the growing global surveillance culture, elder abuse, the rights of people with disabilities, the rarely persecuted murders of trans individuals, and religious intolerance. The presentation, direct from Buenos Aires, will underscore the circulation, production, and consumption of global cultural manifestations online (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) that are related to this global subculture, using as a point of departure theories related to participatory culture on the internet.

Presented in conjunction with the Engaged Liberal Arts and Sciences course Exploring Human Connections through Argentine Tango.

Melissa A. Fitch (PhD 1995) holds the rank of University Distinguished Professor at the University of Arizona. She is a second-generation Mexican-American who was born in Los Angeles and raised in the city of San Francisco.

“Cinemizing” Fiction: Nabokov’s Lolita, Kubrick’s Lolita

Julia Trubikhina (Hunter College)

Tuesday, March 26, 2019
5:30–7 pm

RKC 103
In her usual provocative manner, Julia Trubikhina (Hunter College)  discusses Nabokov’s involvement in 1959–60 in the “cinemizing” of his famous novel Lolita. The result of Nabokov's collaboration with the director Stanley Kubrick was Kubrick’s acclaimed motion picture Lolita (1962) based on Nabokov’s original screenplay, of which very little remained in the film. Using Nabokov’s “tug of war” for “authorship” of the future movie (the correspondence between Nabokov and Kubrick, before and while Nabokov was working on the screenplay) as a springboard, Dr. Trubikhina explores film adaptation as a process of translation between media. The familiar questions that lie at the heart of any discussion of translation apply here in equal measure: Is the translation (the film adaptation) faithful? If it is, then to what? What of the original is translatable /adaptable? What is not and why? The speaker also compares Kubrick’s Lolita to Adrian Lyne’s film adaptation of 1997 and talks of what has changed today, in the #METOO era, as we are looking at texts to which sexual abuse of a child is so central.Sponsored by: Russian/Eurasian Studies Program.

Continental Divide: Borderlands Wildlife, People, and the Wall

A photo exhibit exploring the fragile US-México border area

Runs through Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Campus Center, Gallery
“The topic of the border wall between the United States and Mexico continues to be broadly and hotly debated: on national news media, by local and state governments, and even in coffee shops and over the dinner table. By now, broad segments of the population have heard widely varying opinions about the wall’s effect on illegal immigration, international politics, and the drug war. But what about the wall’s effect on the Sonoran pronghorn antelope herds and the kit fox? On the Mexican gray wolf, the ocelot, the jaguar, and the bighorn sheep? In unforgettable images and evocative text, Continental Divide: Wildlife, People, and the Border Wall shows us what’s at stake.” — Krista SchlyerSponsored by: Bard Center for Environmental Policy; Human Rights Project; La Voz; Photography Program.

The Evolving Gallery Model:
Leo Castelli to the Present (and Beyond)

Wednesday, March 27, 2019
6–7 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 102
Natasha Degen will be at Bard this Wednesday to discuss the role of the commercial gallery from the mid-twentieth century to the present, charting its evolution from Leo Castelli's influential "global cooperative model" to the mega-galleries of today. Given the consolidation of power currently taking place in the art market, the gallery model finds itself at another juncture. The talk will conclude with a discussion of how and why the most prominent art dealers are courting the public with museum-like spaces and programming, and what this means for the reception of art.

The Tree of the Cross

Gregory Bryda
Assistant Professor, Art History,
Barnard College, Columbia University

Thursday, March 28, 2019
5–6 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 102
Numerous artworks from medieval Germany ground the salvific power of Christ’s Cross not in its carpentered cruciform but rather in its apocryphal material origins in the Tree of Paradise. Long before the True Cross relic arrived in Nuremburg in 1424, areas across the Holy Roman Empire  already possessed their own idiosyncratic writings, visual culture, and traditions that paid special tribute to the Legend of the Wood of the Cross. Born of a sprig from Paradise that an angel delivers to Adam’s son Seth on earth, the tree that ultimately yielded the wood used for Christ’s cross inspired new terms with which religious writers and artists expressed the apparent paradox of divinity in nature. Localizing many of the Legend’s episodes and themes, including the marvelous finding of trees native to Germany and Flanders and the intractability of their wood, a group of miracle-working crucifixes—and the accompanying texts that record their ancestries—bear witness to the desire to direct to more stable channels the enthusiasm for sculpture made from the wood of trees, which was becoming ever more popular at the very same moment.Sponsored by: Art History and Visual Culture Program; Medieval Studies Program.
