SUMMARY:White Supremacy in the Golden State: Sikh Targets\, Responses\, and Solidarities
DESCRIPTION:On August 25\, 2019\, Paramjit Singh was murdered while going for his evening stroll in an affluent area of Tracy\, CA.  The case against the alleged perpetrator\, who had affiliations with white supremacist groups\, was quickly dropped  by the judge and the Singh family has been left shocked. \nWhile specific political economic contingencies increase formations of white supremacist groups\, their presence\, power\,  and assertions of paramountcy in California has dated back to its admittance in the Union in 1850. Anti-Asian violence then and now has a particular trajectory in California\, and in this discussion we look at how power is asserted locally and which  white supremacist groups are most active in various regions of California. Using Sikh-Americans as a specific example\, we  examine how communities respond\, react\, and seek to build their own power and solidarities. \n \nNaindeep Singh Chann\nJoin Naindeep Singh Chann (Executive Director of the Jakara Movement) with Christine Hong (CRES Director & Associate Professor\, LIT/CRES ) & Talib Jabbar (Graduate Student\, History of Consciousness/CRES Designated Emphasis) as they discuss white supremacy & it’s impact on the Sikh-American community\, & how that translates more broadly into anti-Asian violence in California. Based in California’s Central Valley\, Jakara is the nation’s largest Punjabi Sikh youth organizing & base-building organization\, dedicated to educational justice\, immigrant rights\, resident empowerment & civic engagement. Naindeep also currently serves as a School Board Trustee member for Central Unified in Fresno County. \nPresented by the Center for Racial Justice.

SUMMARY:Popular Culture and the Radical Imaginary: Patrisse Cullors and Maxwell Addae
DESCRIPTION:Visualizing Abolition is pleased to present “Popular Culture and the Radical Imaginary\,” a discussion with Patrisse Cullors\, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network and artist and activist Maxwell Addae. Their conversation will focus on their collaborative project researching the media portrayals of Black women and incarceration as well the real-world impact of the narratives told about crime and punishment in the United States. \n \nVisualizing Abolition is a series of online events organized by Professor Gina Dent\, Feminist Studies and Dr. Rachel Nelson\, Director\, Institute of the Arts and Sciences. The events feature artists\, activists\, and scholars united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. Originally\, Visualizing Abolition was being planned as an in-person symposium. Due to the ongoing pandemic\, the panels\, artist talks\, film screenings\, and other events will instead take place online. The events accompany Barring Freedom\, an exhibition of contemporary art on view at San José Museum of Art October 30\, 2020-April 25\, 2021. To accompany the exhibition\, Solitary Garden\, a public art project about mass incarceration and solitary confinement is on view at UC Santa Cruz. \nArtist\, organizer\, educator\, and popular public speaker\, Patrisse Cullors is a Los Angeles native and Co-Founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network and Founder of grassroots Los Angeles based organization Dignity and Power Now. Cullors’ work for Black Lives Matter recently received recognition in TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020 list and TIME Magazine’s 2020 ‘100 Women of the Year’. Cullors is a New York Times bestselling author of When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir (2018). She is also the Faculty Director at Arizona’s Prescott College of a new Social and Environmental Arts Practice MFA program that she has developed. Cullors is a former staff writer at Freeform’s Good Trouble series as well as an actress on the show. For the last 20 years\, Cullors has been on the frontlines of criminal justice reform and led Reform LA Jails’ “Yes on R” campaign\, a ballot initiative that passed by a 73% landslide victory in March 2020. \nWith a love of cinema’s more idiosyncratic directing auteurs\, Maxwell Addae has strived to express himself as purely as possible. Most notable merging the vulnerably personal with genre flourishes. Following a small stint touring as a performance artist\, which changed how he envisioned movement within film\, he is now eager to utilize all of the new tools he’s acquired over the years. He has also been a semi-finalist or finalist in the following programs over the past year: Sundance Creative Producing Lab\, Nicholls Fellowship\, TIFF Talent Filmmaker Lab\, and the Austin Screenwriting Competition. His American Film Institute thesis short and most personal work to date is called Outdooring which has screened at over 20 international festivals. Most notably the 2019 South by Southwest\, Outfest\, shortlisted for the Iris Prize\, screened in the 2020 Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival and was acquired in a three-year deal with Revolt TV. \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. \n
