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:5th Annual MLK Distinguished Lecture in Social Justice featuring Anthony Abraham Jack\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Elite colleges are accepting diverse and disadvantaged students more than ever before—but to Anthony Jack\, access does not equal acceptance. An assistant professor at Harvard and author of The Privileged Poor\, Jack—once a low-income\, first-generation college student himself—studies how poor students are often failed by the top schools that admit them. In talks\, he details how class divides on campus create barriers to academic success—and shares what schools can do to truly level the playing field.  \nThis program is presented annually by the President’s Advisory Council for Diversity and Inclusion and will be moderated by Professor Claude Taylor.

All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is NATIONAL BESTSELLER Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven. \n\n\nAn audacious\, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse—the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star\, his would-be savior\, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region\, risking everything for art and humanity. Now an original series on HBO Max. \nKirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander\, the famous Hollywood actor\, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city\, and within weeks\, civilization as we know it came to an end. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Budrus
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 Budrus (Israeli/Palestinian/American\, 2009). \nBudrus is an award-winning feature documentary film about Palestinian community organizer\, Ayed Morrar\, who unites Palestinian political factions and invites Israeli supporters to join an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter\, Iltezam\, launches a women’s contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side\, father and daughter unleash an inspiring\, yet little-known\, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today. \nIn an action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy\, Budrus shines a light on people who choose nonviolent strategies to confront a threat. The movie is directed by award-winning filmmaker Julia Bacha (co-writer and editor of Control Room and co-director Encounter Point)\, and produced by Bacha\, Palestinian journalist Rula Salameh\, and filmmaker and human rights advocate Ronit Avni (formerly of WITNESS\, Director of Encounter Point). \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Claude Taylor\, Director For Academic Transition And Inclusion and Saliba Sarsar\, Professor in the department of Political Science and Sociology.

SUMMARY:The Clay Bird
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 The Clay Bird (Bengali\, 2002). \nThe Clay Bird is a 2002 Bengali War-drama film was written and directed by Tareque Masud. It was his debut feature film. Based on Tareque’s story the screenplay was co-written by Tareque and Catherine Masud. \nSet against a 1960’s backdrop leading up to Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan\, THE CLAY BIRD tells the story of Anu\, a boy sent away by his father to an Islamic school. Far from his family and the warmth of his region’s Hindu festivities\, Anu struggles to break out of his shell and adapt to the school’s harsh monastic life. As the political divisions in the country intensify\, an increasing split develops between the school’s students\, just as Anu’s parents find themselves growing apart. Rather than be torn in half\, Anu must decide which side he falls upon in this complex tale of tolerance\, diversity\, and the practice of Islam in a crises-ridden world. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Dr. Rekha Datta\, Professor in the department of Political Science and Sociology and Dr. Golam M. Mathbor\, Professor in the School of Social Work

SUMMARY:“Classical Realism” with master painter - Scott Nickerson
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features work by painter Scott Nickerson and his core group of advanced students\, and is a great example of the powerful influence one master painter can have on a school of artists. \nScott Nickerson was born in Jersey City\, New Jersey in the fall of 1970. His passion for the art world evolved as he matured and he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts\, New York City in 1996. Scott studied under many extremely talented instructors at SVA\, including renowned figure painter and draftsman\, Steven Assael. He continued his studies after graduation at the Art Students League\, New York City and Studio Incamminati\, Philadelphia with distinguished artist and teacher\, Nelson Shanks. \nIn 1997\, Scott began to share his knowledge and love of painting with his own students\, teaching classes at several locations across Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Many of his courses work directly from live models\, allowing the students an extensive study of each pose. When not teaching\, Scott can be found working at his Ocean Township Studio on commissioned portraits. His work is displayed worldwide in private and public collections\, including universities and government agencies. \nClassical Realism is an artistic movement in the late-20th and early 21st century in which drawing and painting place a high value upon skill and beauty\, combining elements of 19th-century neoclassicism and realism. \nOpening Reception: October 28 from 5 pm to 7 pm. RSVP for the reception here \n**Please note the gallery will be closed November 24-November 27 for the holiday weekend.***

SUMMARY:Korkoro
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 Korkoro (France\, 2009). \nIn this passionate WWII drama\, a tightly-knit family of Gypsies journeys through occupied France\, trying to avoid the violent Vichy patrols. Directed with wit and vigor by Tony Gatlif (Latcho Drom)\, Korkoro unearths the hidden story of the Romany people’s joys and struggles during the war. \nAlong the way a young French orphan named Claude (Mathias Laliberté) joins their ranks\, and is initiated into their culture. Under the tutelage of acrobatic wild man Taloche (James Thiérrée)\, Claude learns to love his adoptive family. As the Vichy government passes a law restricting their movement\, they avoid capture with the help of a local mayor and schoolteacher\, who also have ties to the Resistance. But the longer they avoid arrest\, the more dangerous their lives become. \nWith free-spirited humor and soaring emotion\, Korkoro is a revelatory movie about a little known chapter in WWII history. The phenomenal performances\, especially Thiérrée’s intensely physical efforts\, truly make history come alive. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Christopher DeRosa\, Associate Professor in the department of History and Anthropology and Mihaela Moscaliuc\, Associate Professor in the department of English

SUMMARY:Jeanine Pennell: Stepping Off the Page: Stories in Clay
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of work by artist Jeanine Pennell \nArtist Statement:\nI began this year journeying away from the studio. I left behind my bags of clay and my work tools. Bringing with me only a sketchbook and watercolors. It was the first time since the pandemic that I was away from clay. \nI was in search of a new creative process. All of my early sculptures were created in short spurts of time\, capturing the fleeting magic of a creative idea\, much like gesture drawing. But this process did not serve when I began to push the boundaries. As the sculptures grew and I was creating without a clear end in mind\, I found myself stuck. Clay figures draped in plastic shrouds collected in the corners of my studio. \nDuring this time away I turned the process around. I began drawing small intuitive drawings. The sketches were quick\, with no purpose or expectation. Capturing the essence of ideas that would float up. Later I would return to color them in and to excavate the meaning behind the art. What did the masks mean? The sharp teeth…faces and more faces? What did it all mean? \nI then developed the ideas from my sketchbook in 3-D or clay by creating small maquettes. Once the sculptures were completed early mornings found me sitting with the art to write what I saw. The stories came out. Slowly at first\, but with practice more steadily. \nThis collection is a record of that journey. In the main gallery is a collection of the largest\, finished sculptures. As you descend to the lower gallery you will encounter the beginning of the journey. On display are the original drawings\, maquettes and early sculptures as well as the stories behind the art. \nOpening Reception September 30\, 2022   7 PM – 9 PM | Ice House Gallery
