SUMMARY:TAJ MAHAL - Livestream
DESCRIPTION:Composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, vocalist\, multi-GRAMMY® winner\, multi-Blues Music Award winner\, Blues Hall of Fame member and Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement award recipient TAJ MAHAL streaming LIVE to the comforts of your own home from the UC Theatre stage in Berkeley\, CA.  This will be Taj’s first ever livestream performance! \nTaj is a towering musical figure — a legend who transcended the blues not by leaving them behind\, but by revealing their magnificent scope to the world. Quantifying the 77- year-old’s significance is impossible\, but people try anyway. A 2017 Grammy win for TajMo\, Taj’s collaboration with Keb’ Mo’\, brought his Grammy tally to three wins and 14 nominations\, and underscored his undiminished relevance more than 50 years after his solo debut. Blues Hall of Fame membership\, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association\, and other honors punctuate his résumé. Taj appreciates the accolades\, but his motivation lies elsewhere. “I just want to be able to make the music that I’m hearing come to me — and that’s what I did\,” Taj says. “When I say\, ‘I did\,’ I’m not coming from the ego. The music comes from somewhere. You’re just the conduit it comes through. You’re there to receive the gift.”

SUMMARY:Go Now! The Music of The Moody Blues LIVE streamed from the Harlequin Theatre
DESCRIPTION:In an endless sea of rock and pop formats\, The Moody Blues distinguished themselves through five decades as that shimmering jewel vindicating rock music as a substantial artistic contribution to Western culture.  Since the 60’s\, as a part of the historic original British invasion of Supergroups\, The Moody Blues lit up the hearts and minds of millions of rock fans with inspiring anthems like “Nights in White Satin\,” “Tuesday Afternoon” and “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock and Roll Band)\,” which express universal themes of love\, compassion and peace.  They have sold in excess of 70 million albums worldwide and have been awarded an astonishing 14 platinum and gold discs. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll hall of Fame in 2018 and ceased touring at that time. \nGordon Marshall\, drummer with The Moody Blues for over 25 years\, knew that there was a hunger in the market for Moody Blues music.  To fill the void\, he put together an amazing group of musicians and formed the band GO NOW!\, a tribute to the music of The Moody Blues. Mick Wilson\, the lead singer of GO NOW!\, was the lead singer with 10cc for over 20 years.  Gordon and Mick are joined on stage by Patrick Duffin\, Ryan Farmery and Nick Kendall\, and together recreate the magical music we all know including all the major hits.  With 25 years experience with The Moody Blues\, Gordon has created true-to-the-original arrangements\, making every performance truly magical. \nThe live streamed performance at the Harlequin Theatre in London marks the first time since early spring that the band will come together and perform\, on stage at this beautiful theatre\, with a brand new\, never before seen concert!

SUMMARY:Electo Electro 2020 - Interactive Workshop and Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:With Mike Richison \nSpecial Guest: Patrick Murray\, Monmouth University Polling Institute \nARTIST TALK:\nWednesday\, October 7\, 6:00 PM \nWORKSHOP:\nWednesday\, October 7\, 7:30 PM\nAttendees who are planning to participate in the 7:30 workshop are kindly requested to download and install a demo version of max msp jitter. This is not required. https://cycling74.com/downloads\n \nElecto Electro 2020 is an interactive installation combining audience participation\, music\, news footage\, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies\, debates\, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop. The touchscreen design is a parody of the system employed by the Accuvote\, a voting system that is difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station. There will be an artist talk at 6:00 followed by a Max MSP Jitter workshop at 7:30 pm. \nMike Richison is a multimedia artist and an Assistant Professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey where he teaches motion graphics. He employs a variety of approaches including sculpture\, graphic design\, and interactive video. His work utilizes found objects such as turntables\, voting booths\, and scavenged video clips as well as the Max MSP Jitter programming environment. Mike has exhibited at Autonomous Cultural Centre Medika (Zagreb\, Croatia); Figment NYC and Art in Odd Places (New York); and Peters Valley School of Craft and Morris Museum (New Jersey). His projects have received attention in outlets such as Leonardo\, Noisey (Music by VICE)\, FACT Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, WABC-TV Channel 7 News New York\, and The Washington Post. Before moving to New Jersey in 2007\, he lived in the Detroit\, Michigan area for several years. \nThese events are FREE and open to the public\, but please register if you plan to attend.\nThey are virtual only. A Zoom link will be provided when you register. \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Galleries and Collections and the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

SUMMARY:ArtNOW Art+Feminism Wikipedia-Edit-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Wikipedia is a worldwide collaborative encyclopedia project made up of a globalized network of volunteers who give their time to edit the site. Within this globalized network\, there still lacks a diversity of voices. “In a 2011 survey\, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female; more recent research puts that number at 16% globally and 23% in the United States.”  (Mandiberg\, M.\, Prajapati\, S.\, & Schrock\, R.\, 2020). Who contributes to a database matters. Especially when in 2015\, that database was “the 7th most visited website in the world” (Paling\, E.\, 2015). A 2011 study from the Pew Research Center\, shows that “the more educated someone is\, the more likely he or she is to consult Wikipedia. Almost 70 percent of Americans with college degrees read Wikipedia” (Paling\, E.\, 2015). If college-educated people and students are using Wikipedia as a main source of information\, there is an argument for students learning how to edit and contribute to the online encyclopedia that they use. \nIt is increasingly important for cis and trans women\, gender-non-conforming people\, people of color\, and Indigenous communities to be written back into history. When information systems like Wikipedia systematically exclude aspects of the human experience\, our understanding of the world is incomplete. To have access to a more accurate information system that includes representation of historically marginalized groups\, our understanding of success\, knowledge\, and of ourselves can become more whole. \nVIRTUAL EVENT SCHEDULE: Friday\, September 18th \n8:00 AM                               WIKI EDIT-A-THON BEGINS \n8:15 AM                                OPENING REMARKS \n8:30 AM                                EDITING WIKIPEDIA: TRAINING \n9:15 AM                                 LIBRARY RESEARCH: ONLINE TRAINING \n9:30 AM­–12:00 PM              EDITING WIKIPEDIA: FREE TIME \n12:00 PM                                EDITING WIKIPEDIA: TRAINING \n12:45 PM                                LIBRARY RESEARCH: ONLINE TRAINING \n1:00 PM–4:00 PM                  EDITING WIKIPEDIA: FREE TIME \n4:00 PM–5:00 PM                  CLOSING REMARKS \n  \nArtNOW Art+Feminism 2020 is a Wikipedia-Edit-a-thon hosted by ArtNOW and the IDM Research Lab. \nCo-sponsors: The Monmouth University Guggenheim Library and Program in Gender and Intersectionality Studies (PGIS) at Monmouth University. \nThis event was organized with the guidance of Art+Feminism\, “an intersectional feminist non-profit organization that directly addresses the information gap about gender\, feminism\, and the arts on the internet… ensuring that the histories of our lives and work are accessible and accurate” (Mandiberg\, M.\, Prajapati\, S.\, & Schrock\, R.\, 2020).

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club - American Dirt
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, 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 Jeanine Cummins’s American Dirt. A #1 New York Times Bestseller and an Oprah’s Book Club Pick\, American Dirt is already being hailed as “a Grapes of Wrath for our times” and “a new American classic.” Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son\, Luca\, the love of her life\, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. Forced to flee\, Lydia and eight-year-old Luca soon find themselves miles and worlds away from their comfortable middle-class existence. Instantly transformed into migrants\, Lydia and Luca ride la bestia—trains that make their way north toward the United States. Lydia soon sees that everyone is running from something. But what exactly are they running to? Jeanine Cummins’s American Dirt is a rare exploration into the inner hearts of people willing to sacrifice everything for a glimmer of hope. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. \n

DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, 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 Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future\, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead\, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these\, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead’s commanders. Deprived of her husband\, her child\, her freedom\, and even her own name\, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire\, an ominous warning\, and a tour de force of narrative suspense\, The Handmaid’s Tale is a modern classic. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. Get more information on how to use zoom

Go Tell It On The Mountain\, first published in 1953\, is James Baldwin’s first major work\, a novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision\, psychological directness\, resonating symbolic power\, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate\, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy’s discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin’s rendering of his protagonist’s spiritual\, sexual\, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. \nFree and open to the public\, but registration is required. You will be provided the Zoom link when you register.
