SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition: Bryan Stevenson - Memory and Justice
DESCRIPTION:Founder/executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) Bryan Stevenson is the featured speaker for the second event in Visualizing Abolition\, joining Gina Dent for a conversation about art\, culture\, and activism. \n \nBryan Stevenson is a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer who has\, over the last two decades\, tirelessly worked to challenge the racial and economic injustices of mass incarceration in the United States. Stevenson has also been at the forefront of the creation of two cultural sites\, The Legacy Museum and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice. For Visualizing Abolition\, Stevenson will discuss how those institutions relate to his legal social justice initiatives. The wide-ranging conversation with Professor Dent will focus on the role images\, art\, and culture can have in how people see and understand the legacies of history\, as well as how re-envisioning history can enliven contemporary struggles against racial inequality and the criminal justice system. \nThis event is part of The Humanities Institute’s yearlong series on Memory. \nFor the 2020/21 academic year\, UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, in collaboration with Professor Dent\, feminist studies\, has organized a year-long series of online events featuring artists\, activists\, scholars\, and others united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. \nThe events of Visualizing Abolition accompany Barring Freedom\, a bi-coastal exhibition of art featuring Sonya Clark\, American Artist\, Dread Scott\, Deana Lawson\, Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun\, Sharon Daniel\, Sanford Biggers\, and other artists whose practices creatively confront the failure of many to see the racist biases within the criminal justice system or to comprehend the economic and social problems that the system serves to obscure. Barring Freedom will be on view at San José Museum of Art late October 2020-March 21\, 2021. \nVisualizing Abolition is organized by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences in collaboration with San José Museum of Art and Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery. The series has been generously funded by the Nion McEvoy Family Trust\, Ford Foundation\, Future Justice Fund\, Wanda Kownacki\, Peter Coha\, James L. Gunderson\, Rowland and Pat Rebele\, Porter College\, UCSC Foundation\, and annual donors to the Institute of the Arts and Sciences. \nPartners include: Howard University School of Law\, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts\, Jessica Silverman Gallery\, Indexical\, The Humanities Institute\, University Library\, University Relations\, Institute for Social Transformation\, Eloise Pickard Smith Gallery\, Porter College\, the Center for Cultural Studies\, the Center for Creative Ecologies\, and Media and Society\, Kresge College.

SUMMARY:Anna Tsing - Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene

Stretching the concept of the map\, the atlas shows how imperial and industrial infrastructures have had world-ripping effects on the ways humans and nonhumans live together. A diversity of observers\, from Indigenous elders to research scientists\, bring us beyond transcendent terror and hope into the present. \nRSVP by 11 AM on Wednesday\, October 28th to receive Zoom link and password. \n \nAnna Tsing is Professor of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz.
