SUMMARY:The Role of Art and Journalism in Society (Hybrid inperson & virtual)
DESCRIPTION:There exists a pervasive illusion that journalism embodies truth and objectivity\, yet it is fundamentally entrenched in a Eurocentric perspective that has long exacerbated social polarization. What ideological forces underpin this medium\, enabling it to perpetuate such divisions?  \nArtists\, as individuals deeply connected to society and its multifaceted truths\, strive to reveal these truths through various forms. Positioned on the precipice of a changing world\, artists maintain a profound grasp on truth. How can artists intervene to redeem journalism from its historical complicity in supporting hegemonic ideologies? Can the creative and critical sensibilities of artists unearth and challenge the concealed biases and contradictions that journalism often obscures under the guise of objectivity? In what ways can artistic endeavors disrupt the entrenched Eurocentric narratives and foster a more inclusive and emancipatory discourse within the media landscape? How can the aesthetic and imaginative dimensions of art confront and transform the existing power structures that shape journalistic practice? What role can artists play in reimagining journalism as a medium of genuine critical reflection and societal truth?  \nRegistration opens on December 12\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Virtual Conversation with Mohammed El-Kurd and Robin D.G. Kelley
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, February 11th\, join Mohammed El-Kurd and Robin D.G. Kelley for a virtual conversation to mark the release of Perfect Victims. \n  \nPerfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal―an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. \nPalestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire\, stubborn\, fragmented\, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence\, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. \nWhy must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision\, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood\, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye\, forgoing both deference and condemnation. \nHow we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony\, history\, and reportage\, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian. \nPre-order Perfect Victims through Bookshop or wherever good books are sold: http://www.bookshop.org/a/1039/9798888903155 \n***Register through Ticket Tailor to receive a link to the live-streamed video on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and captioning will be provided.*** \nSpeakers: \nMohammed El-Kurd is a writer\, poet\, journalist\, and organizer from Jerusalem\, occupied Palestine. He is the Nation’s first-ever Palestine Correspondent and editor-at-large at Mondoweiss\, the recipient of numerous honors and awards\, and the author of the highly-acclaimed poetry collection Rifqa\, which has been translated into several languages. \nRobin D.G. Kelley is Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA. He is the author of Hammer and Hoe\, Race Rebels\, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination\, and Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original\, among other titles. His writing has been featured in the Journal of American History\, American Historical Review\, Black Music Research Journal\, African Studies Review\, New York Times\, The Crisis\, The Nation\, and Voice Literary Supplement.
