SUMMARY:Complicated Labors: Feminism\, Maternity\, and Creative Practice (Symposium & Gallery Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:The Complicated Labor Research Cluster is an interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together artists\, writers\, and scholars around questions of feminism\, maternity\, and creative process. It seeks to center questions of care in our research and art whether they are explicit sites of inspiration and study or simply important to the conditions in which we undertake expressive practices. Through film\, visual art and photography\, performance\, writing\, and scholarship we will explore the complexities of contemporary motherhood. \nThis symposium\, with keynote address by foundational feminist artist Mary Kelly\, will create a space for critical interdisciplinary dialogue around issues of maternity\, feminism\, art-making\, and writing\, explicitly putting the 1970s in conversation with the current moment and putting writers in conversation with visual artists. The symposium is on Feb 5th from 10am-5pm at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab and will be followed by a gallery exhibition and reception from 5-7pm at the Sesnon Art Gallery. \nSymposium – Feb 5 @ 10:00am-5:00pm\nDigital Arts Research Center (DARC) Light Lab\, UCSC\nFree and Open to the Public \nNearly forty years after Mary Kelly’s germinal 1976 exhibition of Post-Partum Document\, the work of women artists who explicitly engage with images\, processes\, and experiences of maternity remains marginalized and relatively misrecognized in the art world.  Despite a notable resurgence of attention to the maternal in 21st Century art theory and practice\, such work is more often than not\, read inside a discourse of indulgence\, sentimentality\, and identity rather than as representative of larger concerns with ecological systems\, ethics\, care\, or labor.  Complicated Labors investigates this problem\, bringing together historical and contemporary work addressing maternal labor to ask questions about the status of feminism — and feminist art — today. \nGallery Reception – Feb 5 @ 5:00-7:00pm\nSesnon Art Gallery\, UCSC\nComplicated Labors Gallery Exhibition runs from February 5 – March 15\, 2014 \nComplicated Labors builds on recent group exhibitions on the topic\, including Myrel Chernick’s and Jennie Klein’s 2004 and 2006 Maternal Metaphors and Maternal Metaphors II and Natalie Loveless’s 2010 New Maternalisms.  This exhibition addresses recent books such as Andrea Liss’s 2009 Feminist Art and the Maternal\, new journals such as Studies in the Maternal\, and new collectives such as Broodwork. \nSymposium Schedule:\n\n10:00 AM – Welcome (Micah Perks and Irene Lusztig) \n10:30 AM – Mary Kelly Keynote (opening remarks) \n11AM: Maternal Interventions (artist panel and discussion) \n12:30 – LUNCH \n2:30 PM – Maternal Secrets (writer panel and discussion) \n4:15 PM Closing Remarks by Megan Moodie \n5:00 – 7:00 PM Opening reception\, Sesnon Gallery (with performance by Alejandra Herrera Silva) \nAll events are free and open to the public. \nSymposium & Gallery Participants:\nKeynote:\nMary Kelly is an American conceptual artist\, feminist\, writer\, and professor of art and critical theory in the School of Art and Architecture at UCLA. \nWriters:\nAmra Brooks was born and raised in California.

SUMMARY:"Unfixed Itineraries: Film and Visual Culture from Arab Worlds"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_column width=”1/3″ el_position=”first”] [rb_section_title title=”Organizers” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nPeter Limbrick\, Associate Professor\, Film and Digital Media\, UCSC\nOmnia El Shakry\, Associate Professor\, History\, UC Davis \n[/vc_column_text] [rb_blank_divider height=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [rb_section_title title=”Steering Committee” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nShelby Graham\, Director/Curator\, Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery\, UCSC\nSoraya Murray\, Assistant Professor\, Film and Digital Media\, UCSC\nIrene Lusztig\, Assistant Professor\, Film and Digital Media\, UCSC\nNeda Atanasoski\, Associate Professor\, Feminist Studies\, UCSC\nJennifer Derr\, Assistant Professor\, History\, UCSC \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column] [vc_column width=”2/3″ el_position=”last”] [rb_section_title title=”Unfixed Itineraries” icon=”con-none” border=”true” margin=”35″ width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] [vc_column_text width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”] \nUnfixed Itineraries has two components: \na symposium\, free and open to the public\, that will take place October 25-26 2013 at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\, bringing scholars and artists together for two days of screenings\, presentations\, and conversations. \na concurrent exhibition at UCSC’s Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery that runs from October 25-December 10. \nBoth events coincide with the series “Moumen Smihi\, Poet of Tangier\,” curated by UCSC film and digital media professor Peter Limbrick\, which takes place at the Pacific Film Archive\, Berkeley\, between October 10 and 27. Smihi will also be a participant at the symposium. http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/filmseries/smihi \nThe Unfixed Itineraries symposium will encourage innovative perspectives on Arab film and visual culture\, emphasizing their multifaceted and plural nature. Rather than homogenize “the Arab world\,” for example\, we stress the multiple worlds that have been made by diverse histories. Instead of taking for granted the meaning of the word “Arab\,” our event continually questions fixed narratives that produce rigid identities. And by refusing the common tendency to reduce Arab art to the realm of the political or the religious\, we also affirm the inspiring\, arresting pleasures of the aesthetic\, the sensory\, the intellectual\, and the social aspects of film and media from the region. \nParticipants will focus on the production and circulation of Arab visual cultures across multiple temporal and spatial boundaries: from the historical to the recent\, at “home” and in diaspora. The symposium includes opportunities for seeing film and media and for engaging in scholarly\, critical debates with cultural producers (rather than just “about” them). \nArtists and scholars will visit from Lebanon\, Morocco\, Egypt\, Syria\, Canada\, Europe\, and the US and the work presented will cover a wide area of forms\, styles\, and thematic concerns. \nSymposium screenings\, panels\, and presentations will address topics such as: Movement and Extra-territoriality; Itineraries of Intertextuality; Past\, Present\, and Future Itineraries; Narrative and non-Narrative Itineraries; Archives\, Images\, Memory. \n[/vc_column_text] [/vc_column]

SUMMARY:Graduate Seminar with Visiting Artist Carrie Mae Weems
DESCRIPTION:The recipient of a 2013 MacArthur Foundation grant\, Carrie Mae Weems is a photographer and video installation artist examining the complex and contradictory legacy of African American identity\, class\, and culture in the United States. On October 21st\, she will meet with graduate students in a seminar setting for a conversation about how artists talk about their work to the public and to the critics\, scholars\, and journalists who write about it. Ms. Weems’ art practices intricately document and participate in the ongoing and centuries-old struggle for racial equality\, human rights\, and social inclusion in America. Through photography\, installation\, and video\, Weems addresses an array of issues and demonstrates an overarching commitment to understanding the present by closely examining history. We hope you will join us in a conversation with Ms. Weems about communicating politically and emotionally charged practices to different audiences. \nPlease join us October 21st at 2:30 P.M. in the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC) 230. This will be a participatory conversation so please come with questions and prepared to discuss and present aspects of your work. A public lecture will take place later the same day at 7 P.M. in the Media Theater. \nInformation on Ms. Weems work can be found at http://carriemaeweems.net/ \nSponsored by UC Santa Cruz Arts Division\, Art Department\, UC Presidential Chair in Feminist Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, Film & Digital Media\, Visual and Media Cultures Colloquia\, The Office for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, and Institute of the Arts & Sciences.
