SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Subject Matters: Is It Clay?
DESCRIPTION:Is it clay? Is it wood? Is it… cake? Ceramics in Asian art can be experimental\, ingenious\, and sometimes just downright surprising. From vessels that mimic fabric to sculptures that defy what clay should be able to do\, artists across Asia have spent centuries pushing this humble material into extraordinary forms. \n \nJoin UMMA Curator Dave Choberka and UMMA Curator of Asian Art Natsu Oyobe for a discussion about the history of UMMA’s Asian Art collection through the lens of clay: how it was shaped\, traded\, transformed\, and elevated into one of the most influential artistic traditions in the world. This 90-minute Subject Matters event uncovers a dazzling history of UMMA’s Asian Art collection.  ​ Featuring special guest Kara Ma\, Chinese art research specialist\, and UMMA’s program manager for the Chinese Object Study Workshops. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening:The Watermelon Woman
DESCRIPTION:The wry\, incisive debut feature by Cheryl Dunye gave cinema something bracingly new and groundbreaking: a vibrant representation of Black lesbian identity by a Black lesbian filmmaker. Dunye stars as Cheryl\, a video-store clerk and aspiring director whose interest in forgotten Black actresses leads her to investigate an obscure 1930s performer known as the Watermelon Woman\, whose story proves to have surprising resonances with Cheryl’s own life as she navigates a new relationship.\n\nThe film screening will be followed by a community conversation with professors SaraEllen Strongman (Afroamerican and African Studies)\, Lydia Kelow-Bennett (Afroamerican and African Studies)\, and graduate student Sydney Tunstall (English and Women's and Gender Studies). Moderated by Symone Campbell.\n\nFree and open to the public. No ticket necessary. *First 20 attendees receive a free popcorn!*
