SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening: J.C. Abbey\, Ghana’s Puppeteer
DESCRIPTION:J.C.ABBEY documents an exceptional fifty-year artistic career\, from Accra’s streets to Ghana’s villages to international TV. In fifteen delightful puppet shows\, Mr. Abbey is joined by musicians Nii Noi Nortey and Nii Otoo Annan and filmmakers Nii Yemo Nunu and Steven Feld to chronicle Ghana's music since independence in 1957. The marionettes perform ethnic songs\, dances and stories\, but equally the sounds of highlife\, Afrojazz\, Afro-rock\, reggae\, and contemporary hiplife. The innovative soundtrack includes historical documents from radio\, TV and broadcast\, and LP\, as well as new compositions commissioned and performed to playback. This fifth feature in the “Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra” series mixes styles of historical documentary and contemporary music video. Through the pleasures of performance it reveals the cosmopolitan politics that intertwine ethnic\, traditional\, national\, and global musical styles in Ghana today.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nThe film’s director\, Steven Feld\, will take part in a post-screening discussion.\n\nSteven Feld is an anthropologist\, filmmaker\, sound artist/performer\, and distinguished professor of anthropology emeritus at the University of New Mexico. After studies in music\, film\, and photography\, he received the PhD in anthropological linguistics at Indiana University in 1979. From 1976 he began a research project in the Bosavi rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Results include the monograph “Sound and Sentiment” (republished 2012 in a 3rd and 30th anniversary edition)\, a Bosavi-English-Tok Pisin Dicitionary\, and essays\, some published in his co-edited books Music Grooves and Senses of Place. From this work he also produced audio projects including Voices of the Rainforest. Key theoretical themes developed in this work are the anthropology of sound and voice\; acoustemology\, particularly regarding eco-cosmology as relational ontology\; emotive sensuality\; and experimental\, dialogic writing\, recording\, and filmmaking. Work after 2000 has concentrated on related themes in the study of bells in Europe\, Japan\, Ghana\, and Togo\, published in CDs\, DVDs\, and books like The Time of Bells\, Skyros Carnival\, and Santi\, Animali\, e Suoni. His most recent project concerns jazz in West Africa\, published in the ten CD\, four DVD\, and book set Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra. Feld’s work has been supported and honored by MacArthur and Guggenheim fellowships as well as book and film prizes.\n\nOrganized by the African Studies Center\; co-sponsored by Center for World Performance Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: Theatre of the Eighth Day
DESCRIPTION:Theatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) was founded in 1964 and soon became one of the most significant alternative student theatre troupes in Poland. Its name derives from the Polish poet K.I. Gałczyński\, who wrote that “On the seventh day\, the Lord God rested\, and on the eighth\, He created theatre.” Influenced by the work of Grotowski\, the group developed their own acting method and approach to creating performances through group improvisation. For 25 years and despite constant surveillance by the secret police and government censorship\, Theatre of the Eighth Day managed to create some of the most important works for the Polish stage. By 1985\, most of the group had left the country and the Theatre remained in exile until 1989\, returning to Poland at the invitation of the first non-communist Minister of Culture. Since the collapse of the Communist regime\, the company\, which is based in Poznań\, continues to be recognized as a leader among Polish alternative theatres.\nEwa Wójciak is the director of the Theatre of the Eighth Day. She joined the group in the 1970s\, co-authoring its most important performances\, such as Sale for Everyone\, How We Lived in Dignity\, Wormwood\, and No Man's Land. She adheres to the philosophy that creating art is a form of empathizing with the world and being responsible for the fate of others.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:#BBUM in the Making
DESCRIPTION:In November 2013\, the Black Student Union launched the hashtag #BBUM\, asking students to share their “unique experiences of being black at Michigan”. The goal was simply to raise awareness about the black experience at Michigan and to begin a conversation about race and diversity on the UM campus. No one expected the hashtag to become a national phenomenon. Tyrell Collier was the leader of the Black Student Union when the hashtag went viral. Now a UM graduate\, he returns to campus to talk about the experience\, ongoing campus activism around race\, and the role of social media in contemporary activism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Putting the Prison in its Place
DESCRIPTION:With over 2 million people held in U.S. jails and prisons\, the United States is the world’s leading jailer. The shadow of the prison\, however\, extends far beyond the prison gates.  \n \nJoin us for a conversation on the curious place of the prison in American public life. The conversation will be led by an esteemed panel of experts.\n \nBrett Story\, documentary film maker and critical geographer with the CUNY center on Place\, Politics\, and Culture will show clips from her new film\, The Prison in 12 Landscapes\, and lead us in a discussion of the not so obvious places the prison rears its head. For a preview of the film see: https://vimeo.com/105073038\n \nJohn Eason (http://www.johneason.com/bighouse/)\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Texas A&M University will share notes from his forthcoming book\, Big House on the Prairie: Rise of the Rural Ghetto and Prison Proliferation\, a study of prison placement and an ethnography of a rural prison town.\n \nFinally\, we will hear from Walter Smith (www.walterdsmith.com)\, a formerly incarcerated community activist\, radio host\, and 5 time championship body builder who was wrongfully imprisoned for 11 years and eventually exonerated after filing a motion for DNA testing. He has since hosted the weekly radio program \"Street Soldier\,\" written a book\, and done violence prevention workshops throughout the nation.\n \nThe Event will be hosted by Reuben Jonathan Miller\, Assistant Professor of Social Work\, faculty Associate\, ISR\, and Faculty Affiliate\, DAAS http://ssw.umich.edu/faculty/profiles/tenure-track/mreuben\, and Hazelette Crosby Robinson\, a formerly incarcerated community activist\, Alumna of the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, and Research Associate on the Detroit Reentry Project. \n \nThis timely conversation with a professor\, a geographer and film maker\, and an exonerated\, formerly incarcerated activist will direct our attention away from the prison itself and help us to attend to its impact across communities\, across geographies\, and across sites of cultural representation.\n \nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Social Work\, the Critical Intersectionality Learning Community and the Residential College.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Latino Americans: 500 Years of History Series Part 6: \"Peril and Promise (1980-2000)\"
DESCRIPTION:Cristhian Espinoza-Pino\, Lecturer IV in the Spanish Department and PALMA Faculty Advisor at the University of Michigan Residential College leads this screening and discussion of the film Peril and Promise (1980–2000). In the 80s\, the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to the United States—the Mariel exodus—floods Miami. The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home\, including activist Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating crossover hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation's Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times?\n\nLatinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America's largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls The Hispanic Moment. Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century\; however\, their failure contributing to an underclass could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education.\n\nThe Ann Arbor District Library is one of 203 sites nationwide to host this series\, which has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association. The AADL series is also co-sponsored by Michigan Radio and the U-M Latina/o Studies Program and is part of an NEH initiative\, The Common Good: The Humanities In the Public Square. For more information on Latino Americans: 500 Years of History programs at AADL\, please visit aadl.org/latinoamericans.\n\nCo-sponsored by:\nMichigan Radio
