SUMMARY:Quo Vadis\, Aida?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series film screening/discussion illuminating the theme “Wartime Lives: Enduring and Transcending Violence and Occupation” by analyzing the message and impact of the film Quo Vadis\, Aida? (Bosnian\, 2020). \nQuo Vadis\, Aida? (lit. Where are you going\, Aida?) is a 2020 Bosnian film written\, produced and directed by Jasmila Žbanić. An international co-production of twelve production companies\, the film was shown in the main competition section of the 77th Venice International Film Festival. It was nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards and has won the Award for Best Film at the 34th European Film Awards. \nThe film dramatizes the events of the Srebrenica massacre\, during which Serbian troops sent Bosniak men and boys to death in July 1995 led by Serbian convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić. Named for its protagonist\, Quo Vadis\, Aida? exposes the events through the eyes of a mother named Aida\, a schoolteacher who works with the United Nations as a translator. After three and a half years under siege\, the town of Srebrenica\, close to the northeastern Serbian border\, was declared a UN safety zone in 1993 and put under the protection of a Dutch battalion working for the UN. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Christopher DeRosa\, Associate Professor in the department of History and Anthropology and Marina Vujnovic\, Professor\,  in the department of Communication.

SUMMARY:The Doo Wop Project
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand – The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning: tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. In their epic shows The Doo Wop Project takes audiences on a journey featuring foundational tunes from the Crests\, Belmonts and Flamingos through the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson\, The Temptations\, and The Four Seasons all the way to DooWopified versions of modern hits from Michael Jackson\, Jason Mraz\, Maroon 5\, and Sam Smith. \nFeaturing stars from the Broadway hits Jersey Boys\, Motown: The Musical\, and A Bronx Tale\, The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate—and in some cases entirely reimagine—the greatest music in American pop and rock history. \nExact member-lineup is subject to change without notice

SUMMARY:The Night Sea Journey - An Artist Talk by Associate Professor Kimberly Callas
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Kimberly Callas will give an artist talk on the artwork she created during a two-year Monmouth Fellowship\, where she served as the artist-in-residence for the Urban Coast Institute. During the fellowship\, Callas created a series of large-scale (10′) drawings that connect images of the ocean\, ocean archetypes\, and the human body. Inspired by historical nautical charts hand-drawn and mounted on muslin\, Callas’ drawings are made of graphite\, dye\, and India ink on paper and dyed muslin. They are then mounted on canvas. In the drawings\, Callas uses latitude\, longitude lines\, and depth charts to ‘specifically place’ the work in places that follow the Right Whales’ annual migration through the Jersey Shore. The drawings include symbols like the Whale\, Fish\, Boat\, Net\, and Horizon Line\, and archetypes like ‘the night sea journey\,’ a journey navigated by stars to a new shore.\n \nKimberly Callas is a multi-media artist\, sculptor\, and the lead artist of the Social Practice project Discovering the Ecological Self. She uses digital emerging technologies with traditional hand and clay modeling techniques to create life-size figures that combine the human body with symbols and patterns from nature. The figures are drawn or cast in plaster or bronze\, 3D printed or routed out of wood with a CNC. Ground pigments\, beeswax\, and natural materials such as wasp paper or birch bark are often used to finish the work. \nHer work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums and has received national and international grants and awards. Recent awards include a Pollination Project Grant\, an Urban Coast Artist-in-Residence\, and a Monmouth University Faculty Fellowship. In 2020\, she received 1st Place Award in Sculpture at the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s Annual Exhibit in New York City. Other recent exhibits include the 2019 International New Media Exhibit at the CICA Museum in South Korea\, Summer Exhibition at Flowers Gallery in New York City\, 9×12 at Dual Galleria in Budapest\, Hungary and Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy at The Pensacola Museum of Art\, Pensacola\, FL. Her work has been published in Post Human\, New Media Art 2020 by CICA Press and has appeared in the Huffington Post and Art New England. Callas received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art and her BFA from Stamps School of Art at the University of Michigan. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Monmouth University\, in West Long Branch\, NJ and maintains a studio in both Maine and New Jersey. \n***This lecture can also be viewed virtually through Zoom – please CLICK HERE to register to receive the zoom link*** \n

SUMMARY:From this Day Forward
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a film screening/panel discussion of the film From This Day Forward with director Sharon Shattuck and her parents Trisha and Marcia Shuttuck. \nWith her own wedding just around the corner\, filmmaker Sharon Shattuck returns home to examine the mystery at the heart of her upbringing: How her transgender father Trisha and her straight-identified mother Marcia stayed together against all odds. From This Day Forward is a moving portrayal of an American family coping with the most intimate of transformations. As the film evolves into a conversation about love and acceptance in a modern American family\, it raises questions relevant to all of us. As individuals how do we adapt to sustain long-term love and relationships? Where do sexuality and gender intersect? And how do families stay together\, when external forces are pulling them apart? \n \n  \nThis event is being held in conjunction with the juried gallery exhibition Aging and the Lived Experiences of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (T/GNC) Older Adults: Narratives through Art on view in the Pollak Gallery January 23 – March 11. Find more information about the exhibit here. \nThis event is sponsored by: Monmouth University’s LGBT+ Older Adult Project\, The Center for the Arts\, and The Intercultural Center.

SUMMARY:Questlove's Music Is History
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Questlove’s Music Is History. \nMusic Is History combines Questlove’s deep musical expertise with his curiosity about history\, examining America over the past fifty years. \nFocusing on the years 1971 to the present\, Questlove finds the hidden connections in the American tapes- try\, whether investigating how the blaxploitation era reshaped Black identity or considering the way disco took an assembly-line approach to Black genius. And these critical inquiries are complemented by his own memories as a music fan\, and the way his appetite for pop culture taught him about America. \nA history of the last half-century and an intimate conversation with one of music’s most influential and original voices\, Music Is History is a singular look at contemporary America. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Los Lobos
DESCRIPTION:The journey of Los Lobos began in 1973\, 50 years ago this year\, when David Hidalgo (vocals\, guitar\, and pretty much anything with strings)\, Louie Perez (drums\, vocals\, guitar)\, Cesar Rosas (vocals\, guitar)\, and Conrad Lozano (bass\, vocals\, guitarrón) earned their stripes playing revved-up versions of Mexican folk music in restaurants and at parties. The band evolved in the 1980s as it tapped into L.A.’s burgeoning punk and college rock scenes. They were soon sharing bills with bands like the Circle Jerks\, Public Image Ltd. and the Blasters\, whose saxophonist\, Steve Berlin\, would eventually leave the group to join Los Lobos in 1984. \nEarly on\, Los Lobos enjoyed critical success\, winning the Grammy® for Best Mexican-American Performance for “Anselma” from its 1983 EP …And a Time to Dance. A year later\, the group released its full-length\, major-label debut\, How Will the Wolf Survive? Co-produced by Berlin and T Bone Burnett\, the album was a college rock sensation that helped Los Lobos tie with Bruce Springsteen as Rolling Stone’s Artist of the Year. \nA major turning point came in 1987 with the release of the Ritchie Valens biopic\, La Bamba. The quintet’s cover of Valens’ signature song topped the charts in the U.S. and the U.K. Rather than capitalize on that massive commercial success\, Los Lobos instead chose to record La Pistola y El Corazón\, a tribute to Tejano and Mariachi music that won the 1989 Grammy® for Best Mexican-American Performance. \nThat kind of sharp artistic turn has become Los Lobos’ trademark\, serving to both fuel the band’s creativity and keep its fans engaged. In 1992\, that willingness to defy expectations led them to record Kiko\, an adventurous album produced by Mitchell Froom that’s considered by many to be one the band’s very best. \nSince then\, Los Lobos has continued to deliver daring and diverse albums such as Colossal Head (1996)\, Good Morning Aztlán (2002)\, The Town and the City (2006)\, Tin Can Trust (2010) and Gates of Gold (2015). On top of that\, the band’s live shows never disappoint\, as documented on the recent concert recordings Live at the Fillmore (2005) and Disconnected in New York City (2013). Through the years\, they’ve managed to keep things interesting with unexpected side trips like an album of Disney songs in 2009\, along with countless contributions to tribute albums and film soundtracks. One of those – “Mariachi Suite” from the 1995 film Desperado ­– earned the band a Grammy® for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Los Lobos’ love letter to the city of Los Angeles as their album Native Sons (2021)\, returned the band to the Grammy winner’s circle with Best Americana Album of 2022. In 2023\, Los Lobos celebrates its 50th anniversary as a band\, a rare and impressive feat\, as the band continues its great legacy. \nLos Lobos has sold millions of records\, won prestigious awards and made fans around the world. But perhaps its most lasting impact will be how well its music embodies the idea of America as a cultural melting pot. In it\, styles like son jarocho\, norteño\, Tejano\, folk\, country\, doo-wop\, soul\, R&B\, rock ’n’ roll and punk all come together to create a new sound that’s greater than the sum of its parts. \n \nMore at: https://www.loslobos.org
