SUMMARY:Story & Pictures By : A Benefit Film Screening for Santa Cruz County Public School Libraries
DESCRIPTION:With book bans skyrocketing across the country\, let’s celebrate the value of children’s books by supporting our local public school libraries together. \nChildren’s books are often one of the first moments that allow children to dive deep into their imaginations. Come celebrate the impact of children’s books with a benefit screening of a new documentary “Story & Pictures By” followed by a discussion with filmmaker Joanna Rudnick. \n100% of the proceeds of every ticket will be used to buy children’s books from Bookshop for Santa Cruz County public school libraries. \n \nThis event will feature a film screening (Run Time: 1 hour\, 24 minutes) + 20-minute conversation with filmmaker. \nABOUT “STORY & PICTURES BY” \n“Story & Pictures By” is the first feature documentary to take audiences behind the scenes to meet the authors and artists who create children’s books. Following bestselling authors Christian Robinson (Last Stop on Market Street)\, Yuyi Morales (Dreamers)\, and Mac Barnett (Sam & Dave Dig a Hole)\, as well as highlighting perennial favorites such as Goodnight Moon\, Snowy Day and Where the Wild Things Are\, the film shows how children’s books reflect the mysteries of childhood\, champion the marginalized\, and provide children with windows and mirrors into their own lives. \nFilm Trailer: https://vimeo.com/925152924 \nABOUT FILMMAKER JOANNA RUDNICK \nAfter earning a master’s degree in journalism from NYU\, Joanna worked for the American Master’s series WNET/PBS New York where she co-produced the film Robert Capa in Love and War\, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was the presenting film for the 2003 Emmy award Outstanding Nonfiction Series. She then spent a decade working for Kartemquin Films producing several titles for national public television before she made her directorial debut with In the Family\, an Emmy nominated and deeply personal story about coming to terms with having a mutation in one of the breast cancer genes which is still currently used in teaching courses on medical ethics and genetic counseling today. \n\nThis event co-sponsored by Bookshop Santa Cruz\, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, and The Santa Cruz County Office of Education.

SUMMARY:Ariella Azoulay – Crafting a Jewish Muslim World
DESCRIPTION:Crafting a potential history of the Jewish Muslim World means taking seriously the fact that we – Muslim Jews – are the living ruins of worlds that imperialism is committed to make disappear. Asking ‘who am I?’ / ‘who are we?’ means breaking apart the cohesiveness and solidity of the identities assigned by settler colonial states to children born within their borders. Azoulay will present her new book The Jewelers of the Ummah – A Potential History of the Jewish Muslim World and will focus on her methodological choices of inhabiting the ruins of this world with kin and elected kin\, and of engaging with jewelry making as part of this journey. \nAriella Aïsha Azoulay teaches at Brown political theory from an anti-colonial perspective\, using photography and material culture. Her latest books: The Jewelers of the ummah – Potential History of The Jewish Muslim World (Verso\, 2024)\, Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism (Verso Books\, 2019)\, Civil Imagination – A Political Ontology of photography (revised & augmented edition\, 2024\, Verso) and From Palestine to Israel: A Photographic Record of Destruction and State Formation\, 1947–1950 (Pluto Press\, 2011); She recently published her first children book Golden Threads (Ayin Press\, 2024). Her latest films include the trilogy Unlearning Imperial Plunder: One Thousand and One Jewels (2025)\, The world like a jewel in the hand (2023)\, Un-documented (2019); her latest exhibitions: Errata (Fundació Antoni Tàpies\, Barcelona\, 2019; HKW\, Berlin\, 2020)\, and The Natural History of Rape (Berlin Biennale\, 2022). \n\n \nSpring 2025 COLLOQUIUM SERIES \nTHE CENTER FOR CULTURAL STUDIES hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work-in-progress by faculty & visitors. We are pleased to announce our Spring 2025 Series. Sessions begin promptly at 12:15 PM and end at 1:30 PM (PST) in Humanities Building 1\, Room 210. \nThis event is presented by CCS with the Center for the Middle East and North Africa (CMENA) and the Visual Media and Culture Colloquium Series (VMCC). Staff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.
