SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Disability\, Documentary\, and Description
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening and Discussion: Disability\, Documentary\, and Description\n\nThursday\, May 7th\, 7 to 9pm \n\nImage description: A white woman with shoulder length blonde hair covering one eye\, sits\, looking down and wearing a polka-dotted raincoat. To the side of her is a hand-held mirror that reflects her hand and some coins. A caption appears on top of her hands that reads “so I am counting coins and putting in envelopes.”\n\n\n\n\nThe film\, art\, and writing of Jordan Lord focuses on the entanglements between access and documentary\, framing and support\, familial and financial debts. Integrating audio description to refract the perspectives of the people on camera and using both captions and their own body to delimit what parts of each image are shown\, their films consider how access renders and interrupts standard aesthetic\, social\, and institutional protocols. As they observe how they and their family are caught up in various financial\, legal and medical apparatuses––and how these apparatuses get involved with practices of documentary filmmaking––they seek to reflect how disability and debt both break open and intimately contract the frames placed on dependency and care. \n  \nFollowing a screening of three of their films\, join us for a talkback and conversation on these themes and more with Jordan and artists Constantina Zavitsanos and Carolyn Lazard. Moderated by Emily Lim Rogers. \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\nThree films by Jordan Lord:\n\nI Can Hear My Mother’s Voice\, Jordan Lord and Deborah Lord\, 5 minutes\, 2018. \nThis collaboration between Jordan and their mother Deborah documents her process of learning how to use Jordan’s camera. Deborah’s audio description of what she has recorded ranges from a reflection on filmmaking and personal observations of what she sees onscreen to a meditation on how her act of recording triggers senses of both memory and loss. \n  \nAfter… After… (Access)\, Jordan Lord\, 16 minutes\, 2018 \nThis essay film follows the filmmaker’s attempt to get access to filming their open heart surgery\, while confronting the inaccessibility of film and video for disabled audiences. Lord considers what it means to give varying levels of access to their body and feelings\, while also thinking about the dependencies that make access to the film possible in the first place. \n  \nShared Resources\, Jordan Lord\, 54 minute excerpt\, 2020 \nThis feature-length documentary is about Lord’s family and their debts. Though Jordan’s father Albert was a debt collector for over 30 years\, he and Deborah are in a tremendous amount of debt––much of which stemmed from the cost of Jordan’s college education. The film spans 4 years of Deborah and Albert’s bankruptcy\, as they attempt to live under austerity. Through the process of making and watching the film together\, Jordan\, Deborah\, Albert\, and Jordan’s sister Ashley reckon with each others’ very different understandings of debt\, dependency\, and disability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe films are audio described and open captioned in English. \nThere is a strobe effect (a flickering light) about 8 minutes into the video After… After… (Access). The video also says this at the beginning.\nLive audio description of event\, provided by Alejandra Ospina.\nCART\, ASL provided. \n\nConstantina Zavitsanos is an artist who works in sculpture\, performance\, text\, and sound. Zavitsanos’s work elaborates what is invaluable in the re/production of debt\, dependency\, and means beyond measure. Zavitsanos has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum\, the New Museum\, Artists Space\, The Kitchen\, and Participant Inc. in New York; at Arika in Glasgow\, Scotland; and at Fri Art Kunsthalle in Switzerland. With Park McArthur\, they co-authored the texts “Other Forms of Conviviality” in the journal Women and Performance (Routledge\, 2013)\, and “The Guild of the Brave Poor Things” in Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility (MIT Press\, 2017). Zavitsanos lives in New York and teaches at the New School. \nCarolyn Lazard is a Philadelphia-based artist and writer. They have exhibited and screened work in various institutions including the Walker Art Center\, the New Museum\, Camden Art Centre\, the Stedelijk Museum\, Museum für Moderne Kunst\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Lazard has published writing in the Brooklyn Rail\, Mousse Magazine\, and Triple Canopy.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Screening/Discussion: Perfectly Normal for Me
DESCRIPTION:Thursday April 23rd\,   5-7 PM \n20 Cooper Square\, 2nd floor Commons \nCANCELLED Perfectly Normal for Me (Catherine Tambini\, 2018\, 50 min) \n Post-screening discussion: Director Catherine Tambini\, producer Elizabeth Hemmerdinger\, and dancers/protagonists Veronica Siaba and Kathleen Downes \nAlexandria\, Jake\, Caitlin and Veronica\, ages 5 to 15\, want to change the conversation. They reveal in their own words what it’s like to deal with the literal ups and downs of a challenged life. In this intimate verité documentary\, four charismatic kids strive for acceptance in a world that is often\, at best\, indifferent to them. \nTheir exceptional parents search out programs where their children are accepted and feel valued\, from clinical services to adaptive skiing. We first meet them all in a unique after-school dance program in Queens\, New York.  With a diverse group of dedicated teenage volunteers – outstanding citizens in a world where the impulse to exclude\, bully or ignore is too often the norm – dancers and helpers work together for a year toward a jubilant spring recital. Thanks to the joy they find in working together\, dancers and helpers emerge as eloquent\, energized voices for inclusion. \nCo-Sponsors: Center for Ballet and the Arts\,  Center for Media\, Culture\, & History \n

SUMMARY:CANCELLED | Reading/Book Talk: Ralph Savarese\, The Body Is a Big Sagacity
DESCRIPTION:In light of the university’s response to COVID-19\, this event has been cancelled.\n  \nThursday March 12\,4-6 PM\,  \n239 Greene Street\, 8th floor commons \nRalph Savarese (Grinnell College) \nThe Body Is a Big Sagacity: Reading Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony with Autist Jamie Burke \nFrom:  See it Feelingly: Classic Novels\, Autistic Readers and the Schooling of a No-Good English Professor \nDiscussant: Kristie Koenig  \nTalk Description \nJamie Burke\, a white\, autistic self-advocate\, learned to speak through innovative occupational therapy at the age of thirteen. At Syracuse University\, he minored in Native American Studies\, having long been interested in the nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Burke and Savarese\, who is also white\, spent several months discussing Leslie Marmon Silko’s novel Ceremony\, which relates the story of a mixed-race veteran who returns from combat to the Laguna Pueblo reservation in a state of traumatized dysfunction. Burke’s familiarity with Native American culture and his talents as a “spatial visualizer” helped to illuminate the novel’s spiritual geography\, which has perplexed some readers. As the two men explored a new emphasis in the scientific literature on motor impairments in autism—both their wide-ranging repercussions and potential amelioration—Burke connected his own improbable journey to speech with the protagonist’s improbable journey to wholeness through ceremonial movement. What emerged in their conversations was a more dynamic understanding of readerly identification and\, just as important\, a new conception of health or well-being. The very idea of allyship\, across racial\, ethnic and neurological differences\, seemed as thorny as ever yet somehow reinvigorated. A blend of ethnography\, neuroscience\, literary analysis\, and disability studies\, the talk pushes back against sweeping claims of imaginative and interpretive incapacity in autism. \nBio: Ralph James Savarese is the author of two books\, Reasonable People: A Memoir of Autism and Adoption (Other Press\, 2007) and See It Feelingly: Classic Novels\, Autistic Readers\, and the Schooling of a No-Good English Professor (Duke UP\, 2018). He is also the co-editor of three collections\, including the first on the concept of neurodiversity. A fourth\, The Futures of Neurodiversity\, is under contract with the Modern Language Association. In 2012-2013\, he was a neurohumanities fellow at Duke University’s Institute for Brain Sciences. A documentary about his son’s inclusion journey appeared on PBS in 2017 and won a Peabody Award. Titled Deej\, it follows DJ from high school to Oberlin College\, where he was that institution’s first nonspeaking student with autism. Ralph teaches American literature\, creative writing\, and disability studies at Grinnell College in Iowa. \nCo-Sponsors:   NYU Departments of Media\, Culture\, and Communication\, English\, and Occupational Therapy.

SUMMARY:Radical Visibility: Sky Cubacub of Rebirth Garments
DESCRIPTION:**Venue update: 16 Cooper Square\, Studio\, Center for Ballet and the Arts** \nPERFORMANCE followed by DISCUSSION facilitated by Prof. Kevin Gotkin\, NYU MCC & DANT \nInstead of a typical stoic runway\, Rebirth Garments hosts fashion performances that feature local models of all sizes and ages who identify as Queer and/ or Crip including apparent and non-apparent disabilities/ disorders all dancing in custom garments designed specifically to serve their physical and social needs. Through dancing\, models show how the garments help them move in a way that shows off their true selves. At the end of the performance we invite the audience to come join us\, changing the landscape of what we think of as a fashion show and transforming the event from a spectacle to an academic event\, club event\, and lesson on radical inclusion. \nAfter the fashion performance Sky will give verbal descriptions of each of the outfits. They will then have a conversation with Kevin Gotkin on stage. Questions from the audience are highly encouraged! The audience should feel free to come and go as they want. \nCART provided. \n— \nSky Cubacub is a non-binary queer and disabled Filipinx human from Chicago\, IL. Their clothing line\, Rebirth Garments\, challenges mainstream beauty standards through centering queer and disabled people of all sizes\, ethnicities and ages. They maintain the notion of Radical Visibility\,  a celebratory resistance\, highlighting the parts of us that society typically shuns\, a movement based on claiming our bodies; through the use of bright colors\, exuberant fabrics and innovative designs\, they refuse to assimilate and are spearheading a Queer and Disabled dress reform movement. \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Discussion: Bodyminds Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebration of Dr. Sami Schalk’s (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Bodyminds Reimagined: (Dis)ability\, Race\, and Gender in Black Women’s Speculative Fiction. The book traces how black women’s speculative fiction complicates the understanding of bodyminds—the intertwinement of the mental and the physical—in the context of race\, gender\, and (dis)ability. Bridging black feminist theory with disability studies\, Schalk demonstrates that this genre’s political potential lies in the authors’ creation of bodyminds that transcend reality’s limitations. \nA reception will follow. \nModerator: Mara Mills (C0-Chair NYU CDS) \nCo-sponsored by: The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality\, NYU; and NYU Africana Studies.

SUMMARY:Screening and Discussion: TALKING HANDS
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture: \nTALKING HANDS (dir. Emanuel Almborg\, 2016)\, 48 min – screening + director in conversation with Mara Mills\n  \nWHEN: Monday 22 April 2019\, 6:30pm\nWHERE: Kriser Room\, 25 Waverly Place [corner of Greene Street]\nFree and open to the public\n\n\n“We see and hear through the eyes and ears of our friends\, all people\, the entire human race.”\n\nTALKING HANDS is a film about a pioneering school for deaf-blind children. Established in 1963 in Zaborsk\, north of Moscow\, it was known as the “synchrophasotron of the social sciences”. Its founder\, Marxist philosopher Evald Ilyenkov\, claimed\, “By studying the brain you will Iearn little of the mind – just as little as you will learn of the nature of money by studying the material properties of the material (gold\, silver\, or paper) in which the money form is embodied.” Or\, as one of his deaf-blind students Alexander Suvorov exclaimed: “Who told you we see nothing and hear nothing? We see and hear through the eyes and ears of our friends\, all people\, the entire human race.”\n\nTalking Hands focuses on Sovorov who went on to attain a PhD in psychology and now lives in a Moscow suburb. His fragmented conversation with Almborg is interwoven with 16mm footage of teaching and activities around the Zagorsk school shot some time in the late 1960s or early 1970s. Its filmmaker and exact date are unknown; the only information attached to the film when Almborg found it in a Moscow archive was a title – ‘Talking Hands’.\n\n—\n\nEMANUEL ALMBORG is an artist based in Stockholm and London. He works in a wide range of media\, primarily moving image. He graduated from the Whitney Independent Study program in 2015\, and is currently a PhD candidate at the Royal Institute of Art\, Stockholm. His work has been shown at Moderna Museet\, Stockholm\, London’s Whitechapel Gallery\, and e-flux in New York.\n\nMARA MILLS is Associate Professor of Media\, Culture\, and Communication at New York University where she co-directs the Center for Disability Studies. Her book On The Phone: Hearing Loss and Communication Engineering (forthcoming from Duke) examines the history of speech and hearing research in the Bell System. She is currently working on the history of optical character recognition and\, with Jonathan Sterne\, the history of audio time stretching technology.\n\n\nQUERIES: ss162@nyu.edu\n\nSponsored by Center for Media\, Culture and History\, NYU and The NYU Center for Disability Studies\n

SUMMARY:Labor and Disability: No Right to Be Idle
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Skirball Center’s On Your Marx festival \nCo-Sponsor: NYU Department of Social and Cultural Analysis \n\n\n\nJoin us for a book talk and celebration of No Right to Be Idle (2017) with author Sarah Rose (UTexas\, Arlington)\, winner of the 2018 Philip Taft Labor History Prize. \n\n\n\nStarting in the late 19th century\, Americans with disabilities came to be labeled “unproductive citizens.” Before that\, disabled people had contributed to homes\, farms\, and the wage labor market. Rose analyzes the social transformations that barred workers with disabilities from mainstream workplaces\, casting them as morally questionable dependents in need of rehabilitation to achieve “self-care” and “self-support.” \n\n\n\n\nAll events are free and open to the public but seating is limited. The spaces are wheelchair accessible. \nTo RSVP and for other accommodations: please email: emily.rogers [at] nyu.edu \n\n\n\n\n*Book available for purchase \n
