Adamo’s MFA thesis exhibition at Queens College on the 4th Floor of Klapper Hall will be open to the public from 4/22 to 4/25\, with the opening reception April 22 from 6pm to 8pm.

SUMMARY:OUR STUDIES SHOW Session 8
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE session \nFREE/NON-MONETARY \n\nLead by SPCUNY alumni Esther Neff of PPL\, OUR STUDIES SHOW stages collective philosophy as a form of theatre. It is a play about/of/at thinking. Considering our inhabitation of our own body-minds as legitimate empirical study (e.g. “instances of human being/thinking”) and our intuitions\, experiences\, and ideas as important philosophical contributions\, we practice complex thought together through a series of in-person gatherings. We (those assembled) dig deeply into metaphysical and conceptual problems. Everyone is welcome. No assumed “knowledge\,” or intellectual “background” needed. The primary task here is simply to compose and perform complex inquiries together. This is not a reading group\, it is (a) “play.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough the first three sessions in Fall of 2024\, collective bodies composed the form of an inquiry: \n1) how are “human beings” related to “nature”?\n2) how does what actual embodied persons believe about this question “matter”?\n3) How shall we evaluate “beliefs” on grounds other than whether or not they are “true” or “scientific”?\n\nSpring 2025 sessions will involve “theoretical dramaturgies” (scores for thinking and theorizing together) which re-phrase\, re-frame\, and re-iterate such inquiries\, particularly in relation to “biological” vs. “cultural”  senses of sex and gender\, de-alienation and “settler surrender\,” and the role of doxastic logics (belief systems) in collective self-recognition. \nMasks are required for the in-person session. The space and bathroom are accessible to those using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. ASL interpretation available on request. Please e-mail eneff@gradcenter.cuny.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Choreographies of Survival: A Black Feminist Climate Conversation with Tao Leigh Goffe and Emily Raboteau
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “Choreographies of Survival” a Black feminist climate conversation between two SPCUNY alumni and authors Tao Leigh Goffe and Emily Raboteau who\, although starting from different frameworks\, both shine a light on the intersections of race and the ever-changing contours of climate risk in their new books. Whether it is through countermapping history or narrating the lived experience of Black parenting in an age of racialized pollution and policing\, these books bring forward the myriad ways humans and humanity are rearticulating their relationship to a sociopolitical and environmental climate in perpetual crisis. The conversation will be moderated by Kendra Sullivan (Director of the Center for the Humanities). \nThe event will be followed by a book signing with the authors. Registration required.

SUMMARY:A Fake News Poetry Reading to Mark the 2nd 100 Days
DESCRIPTION:In 2016-17\, SPCUNY alumni Alexandra Juhasz engaged in a daily practice for the first 100 days of a presidency\, blogging about fake news and matters of civic decency\, and as often as not sharing the page with friends and colleagues. That became a website with 100 Hard Truths about Fake News:  For many years after\, Alex ran workshops with poets around the world together thinking about those hard truths and the words of other participants: fakenews-poetry.org. Those poems became a book\, My Phone Lies to Me\, published by @punctum_books (available to download for free). \n15-20 participants in that project (writers\, poets\, teachers\, friends)\, will read old poems from that book. You are invited to come hear poems and there will be time for discussion or the reading of more poems after the one-hour reading. \nIt is good to be together with poetry at this time. The reading will also be recorded as part of punctum’s\, Encounters at the End of the Book series.

SUMMARY:What the Pandemic taught us about Technologies\, and vice-versa: Viral Missives from Hong Kong and New Delhi
DESCRIPTION:Pandemics persist. They recede\, are managed\, resurface\, mutate\, and become endemic so that what was once seen as a threat becomes a part of our viral and microbial ecosystems. Biological pandemics are managed by technologies. Long after the effects of the pandemics recede\, the technologies used to manage them become a part of our social and political organization. \nOrganized by SPCUNY Alum Alexandra Juhasz and featuring Nishant Shah\, this talk draws from collaborative community workshops in Hong Kong and New Delhi to combine storytelling\, contextualization\, and re-mediation of the global experiences of the COVID19 pandemic. In the process it invites reflection on the changing nature of technologies\, how they were shaped in the localized management of the global pandemic\, and what this means for our present and future of coming and being together. \nMore details here.

SUMMARY:Mourning Machine
DESCRIPTION:Mourning Machine is a low-stakes participatory ritual designed to honor the history and resilience of the NYC theater community/ies during a time of uncertainty and reconfiguration. The event will feature Coffin Karaoke\, open mic eulogies\, lasagna\, drinks\, clown-tears\, and more. All are welcome. \nMourning Machine is part of an ongoing research & performance project about the “practice” of mourning. It is a communal strategy for healing from the harmful aspects of our profit-driven culture. \nThursday\, December 19th 6:30pm-9:30pm\nat the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center\n1st floor of the CUNY Graduate Center\n365 Fifth Ave\, New York\, NY 10016 \n\nEdge Effect is a “think and do tank” that creates participatory experiences for individuals to share knowledge across personal\, cultural\, and disciplinary boundaries. Co-founded by dramaturg Jess Applebaum and director/scenographer Nic Benacerraf\, EE’s process is deeply rooted in the edge-blurring practices of devised theater. Each project unites a polydisciplinary community to study a transcendent issue of our time\, who then creates original multimedia performances for new communities to deepen the investigation. \n*This project is made possible in part with funds from Creative Engagement\, a regrant program funded by DCLA\, NYSCA\, and the Howard Gilman Foundation\, and administered by LMCC.

SUMMARY:Run Amok: Asian Americans in Hardcore Punk
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln Center Presents: Run Amok: Asian Americans in Hardcore Punk\nFt. Dog Breath\, Material Support\, & No Model \nFriday\, November 01\, 2024 at 7:30 pm\nLincoln Center\, David Rubenstein Atrium\n1887 Broadway\, New York\, NY 10023\nAdmission is FREE! General Admission\, first-come first-served. Just show up! \nThree Asian American-led East Coast hardcore punk bands—No Model\, Material Support\, and Dog Breath—join forces for an epic showcase. The name of the evening\, “Run Amok\,” intentionally refers to “Amok Syndrome\,” a behavioral pattern formerly once recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as a “culture-bound syndrome”—born out of the European misdiagnosis of Asian and Indigenous peoples’ spirit of defiance in the face of colonization. Lyrically\, these groups create music that addresses generational trauma\, racism\, war\, social justice\, and liberation in service of opening a conversation about the state of the punk scene and the use of the genre to assert fully empowered Asian American narratives rooted in anti-colonial resistance. Their work embraces the struggle of every person raging against oppression and inequality\, both at home and abroad. \n  \nSafety & Accessibility\nClick here for Lincoln Center Health and Safety Guidelines. \nPlease refer to the latest CDC guidelines and stay home if you do not feel well.\nFace masks are welcomed\, but not required.\nGuests are encouraged but not required to remain up to date on vaccines—based on eligibility determined by the CDC.\nPlease practice good health and be courteous to others. \nThese protocols are subject to change in accordance with any updates to city and state guidelines\, rules and regulations\, and other health and safety recommendations from our medical and public health advisors. \nAn inherent risk of exposure to and infection with COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present\, and a visit to the Lincoln Center Campus may still pose a risk to your safety.
