SUMMARY:The Crip/Mad Archive Dances: Embodied Histories
DESCRIPTION:How do disabled and mad people survive\, dance\, insert their differences in a world full of stigma? How do we live through bodymindspirit experiences of alienation and pain? \nThis experimental documentary charts disability culture archives and embodied gestures of survival and creative expression. It draws on community with human and non-human others: media clips as performance gifts\, archival footage from dance archives\, environmental embedment and grounding in trees\, water\, desert and lakes. Together\, we dance\, and spring our binds. Petra’s Q&A opens up using various creative methods to approach archival finds. \nPlease note: This experimental documentary shares instances of medical incarceration including insulin violence. It offers survivor testimonies of artful and agency-full reclamation. The film is fully subtitled in English. The documentary uses ‘crip’ and ‘mad’ as in-group signifiers\, aware of stigma and histories. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nPetra Kuppers is a disability culture activist and a community performance artist. She grounds herself in disability culture methods\, and uses somatics\, performance\, media work\, and speculative writing to engage audiences toward more socially just and enjoyable futures. Her latest academic study is the award-winning Eco Soma: Pain and Joy in Speculative Performance Encounters (UoMinnesota Press\, 2022\, open access). Her fourth poetry collection\, Diver Beneath the Street\, uses a psychogeographic lens to investigate true crime and ecopoetry at the level of the soil\, bringing together life and death (Wayne State University Press\, 2024). \nShe teaches at the University of Michigan\, was a 2022 Dance/USA Fellow\, and a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow. She is currently at work on Planting Disabled Futures\, a virtual reality/community performance project\, as a Social Science Research Council Just Tech Fellow (2024-2026). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n📅: November 4\, 2024 | 10:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m \n📍: 4TH Space \n🔗 To participate online you can register on Zoom or watch live on YouTube. \n

SUMMARY:Anthropocene: The Human Epoch screening with Director Jennifer Baichwal
DESCRIPTION:Join the Concordia Ethnography Lab for the screening of ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch\, a film by Jennifer Baichwal\, Edward Burtynsky and Nicholas de Pencier. The vent is co-organized with the McGill Centre for Innovation in Storage and Conversion of Energy. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Director Jennifer Baichwal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet\, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a four years in the making feature documentary film from the multiple-award winning team of Jennifer Baichwal\, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky. Third in a trilogy that includes Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark (2013)\, the film follows the research of an international body of scientists\, the Anthropocene Working Group who\, after nearly 10 years of research\, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century\, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast\, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany\, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains\, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk\, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama desert\, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document evidence and experience of human planetary domination.\nAt the intersection of art and science\, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch witnesses in an experiential and non-didactic sense a critical moment in geological history — bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📅 November 28\, 2024 | 6 pm\n📍 VA-114\n🔗 Please register here for the event as spots are limited!
