SUMMARY:NOSTALGIA/LOSTAGAIN Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Come to feel and explore nostalgia with us at the NOSTALGIA/LOSTAGAIN symposium – a student-led symposium that explores creative nostalgia through panel discussions and workshops from experts in the arts and sciences.  \nWhen? February 4th\, from 10:00-4:00 PM EST. \nWhere? Milieux Institute (EV 11.705) and online \nNostalgia reminds us of a past that was and could have been (Boym 2001). In a place of lost possibilities\, of those we’ve lost touch\, and memories of losses… What do we also lose or throw away in the present in order to be nostalgic? What if we could use these tools of forgetting the losses of a past to help us remember how to prevent more of them in the future? Digital tools can evoke a certain feeling of loss; a past that is gone. But given a message of hope\, of possibility\, this loss may inspire us to work towards a future without repeating the same losses of the past. This symposium centres around the use of CREATIVE NOSTALGIA: a kind described by Svetlana Boym (2001) as being able to reveal the “fantasies of an age” – our desires to get away from losses\, regrets\, and pain – but it is in these emotional tools capable of change and hope where “the future is born”. \nYou can check their website for the whole programming here. \nRESERVE A SPOT

SUMMARY:A Walk in LePARC with Adriana Minu
DESCRIPTION:LePARC is happy to invite you all to join A Walk in LePARC with Adriana Minu! \nAfter three years of researching affective approaches to music making\, Adriana has been reclaiming her body from deep enrapturing tensions and learning what qualities can be nurtured in spaces that welcome alterity. She is now taking a look back at the processes and artworks that have stemmed from her artistic and vocal practice. Expect an experimental format with vocal solutions\, digressions and improvisations to perceived intensities. \nWhen? January 30 th\, 2023\, 2-3pm \nWhere? Residency Room EV 10.785 \nAdriana Minu is an artist\, researcher\, and intense vocal performer. She lives hyper aware of her constant relation with the environment. Her mission is to create artworks that help herself and others escape bodily oppressions. She doesn’t always succeed. Her own dislocated body guides her in this process that vibrates victoriously outside categories.  \nAdriana is finishing her PhD in experimental music co-supervised at two prestigious British universities. She is a visiting doctoral scholar at lePARC until July 2023. In the UK she co-runs the research creation podcast Essential Blends with Kevin Leomo and the artistic experimentation platform ‘The way we blend’. At Concordia she runs a monthly series for cross-disciplinary performative encounters ‘there is space to […]’ and a sound improvisation series with Kathy Kennedy called ‘Improv-X’.

SUMMARY:Workshop with Dr. Kristina Lyons
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to invite you to a workshop with Kristina Lyons (UPenn) on January 27 th at 1:00 pm: Rivers and Reconciliation: Elaborating the Sociological Memory of War Through Science and Arts-based practices.  \nDuring this workshop\, Dr. Lyons will present an ethnographic and participatory action research project to reconstruct the “socioecological memory” of the Mandur River watershed in the Colombian Amazon. The objective of this project was to create conditions for community dialogues over the territorial ordering\, recovery\, and conservation of the watershed in the midst of ongoing socio-environmental conflicts. Dr. Lyons will discuss the proposal to engage in what grassroots organizations call “profound reconciliation” along with the ethical stakes of reconciliatory processes that tend to human and more-than-human relations damaged by the interconnected dynamics of structural violence and decades of war. She will also share the environmental humanities-based methodologies that emerged in our collective process to elaborate the memory of the Mandur\, as well as facilitate a cosmopolitical exercise to highlight the importance of fostering spaces for bettering (rather than transcending) conflict. We will also converse about the challenges posed for public engaged scholarship during times of transition that may shift toward the perpetuation of violence\, injustice\, and militarized forms of conservation. \n*For more information and questions please email EthnoLab Coordinator Maya Lamothe-Katrapani at mlamothekatrapani@gmail.com \nKristina Lyons is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and with the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. She also holds affiliations with the Center for Experimental Ethnography and the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies.  Kristina’s research is situated at the interfaces of socio-ecological conflicts and science and legal studies in Latin America.  Her manuscript\, Vital Decomposition: Soil Practitioners and Life Politics\, was published by Duke University Press in 2020 and the Spanish translation in 2021 with the Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá\, Colombia. It was awarded honorable mention by the Bryce Wood Book Award by the Latin American Studies Association. Kristina has also worked on the creation of soundscapes\, street performances\, photographic essays\, graphic novels\, community radio programs\, digital storytelling platforms\, and various forms of literary and journalistic writing. \n

SUMMARY:there is space to fall at LePARC
DESCRIPTION:‘there is space to…’ is a new monthly series for performative encounters in LePARC’s Residency Room. Practitioners from all disciplines are invited to improvise together under permeable frameworks that enable togetherness. Kickstarted by Adriana Minu\, the series leaves its doors open to practitioners to propose their own idiosyncratic approaches to improvisation or to just come and perform. \nIn December the event was called ‘there is space to feel’. Informed by Adriana’s practice of tending to the plethora of intensities that the body holds using vocal improvisation. In January\, Pati Ragazzon joins Adriana for ‘there is space to fall’ – an emergent framework that Pati and Adriana are in the process of uncovering\, informed by Pati’s own movement practice. \n*For more information and questions please email Lucy Fandel\, LePARC’s coordinator\, at leparc.milieux@gmail.com \n**The event is open to all and no registration is required

SUMMARY:Artist Talk With Barry Pottle
DESCRIPTION:Post Image presents Inuk photographer Barry Pottle\, in the third installment of Moving the Landscape to Find Ground\, a cycle of artist talks and artist residencies which takes place until May 2023. This series is built from a shared ambition to break open lens-based practices via the interrogation of the colonial prism through which photography exists. We are inviting conversation among all communities impacted by the colonial gaze.  \n\n\n\nHow can you participate? Join in person at 4thSpace or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.  \n\n\n\nBarry Pottle is an Inuk artist originally from Nunatsiavut in Labrador\, now living in Ottawa\, Ontario. He has worked with the Indigenous arts community for many years particularly in the city of Ottawa\, which has the largest urban population of Inuit outside the North. Barry has always been interested in photography as a medium of artistic expression and as a way of exploring the world around him. Through the camera’s lens\, Barry showcases the uniqueness of this community. Whether it is at a cultural gathering\, family outings or the solitude of nature that photography allows\, he captures the essence of Inuit life in Ottawa. \n\n\n\nOur programming is in collaboration with the Indigenous Futures Research Centre\, the Feminist Media Studio and the Black Perspectives Office.

SUMMARY:Ethnography Lab Film Nights|ZAGROS
DESCRIPTION:The Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to invite you to the last film night of the semester\, this Wednesday\, December 7th at 6pm! They will be screening the beautiful film Zagros (2018) by Ariane Lorrain and Shahab Mihandoust. The screening will be followed by a Q+A with the directors.  \n\n\n\nZAGROS follows the creation of carpets across the Western mountains of Iran\, the land of Bakhtiaris. Wool is the guiding thread that traverses nomadic and sedentary cultures\, revealing the worlds of weavers\, dyers and shepherds through their labour. Carpets weave the social fabric of their lives\, giving it form as well as colour. The work is hard\, and is gradually being devalued by the outside world – but their lives are redeemed through the love they feel for their traditions. \n\n\n\nREAD MORE ABOUT THE FILM HERE \n\n\n\n** The event will take place at Concordia University’s EV Building\, 1515 Sainte-Catherine O\, Montréal\, QC H3G 2W1\, Room 10.625. Once you exit the elevator\, follow the “Milieux Institute” arrows.

SUMMARY:BREATHING AESTHETICS:A Talk with Jean-Thomas Tremblay and Alice Jarry
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first installment in a series of talks planned collaboratively by CARG\, CRIE\, and SPAM: Critical Anthropocene Speakers Series\, featuring a talk with Dr. Jean-Thomas Tremblay (York) and Dr. Alice Jarry (Concordia). \n\n\n\nDr. Tremblay’s talk previews the monograph Breathing Aesthetics\, in which they argue that difficult breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary era marked by the increasing contamination\, weaponization\, and monetization of air. Tremblay shows how biopolitical and necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive capitalism\, imperialism\, and structural racism are embodied and experienced through respiration \n\n\n\nDr. Jarry’s presentation will address the material and conceptual aspects of the collaborative research-creation project capture*. Exploring how ‘membranes’ can act as porous interfaces that enable exchanges across systems and transform what is filtered in the process\, capture aims at materializing the microscopic invisibility of air pollution and the macroscopic dimension of its socio-environmental issues. \n\n\n\n// READING GROUP // \n\n\n\nIn preparation for the talk\, the group is hosting a reading group event this Friday\, November 11th\, from 3:00-4:30 PM\, to read Jean-Thomas Tremblay’s Breathing Aesthetics‘ first chapter “Breathing against Nature”! If you want to participate email priscilla.jolly@concordia.ca to be added to mailing list and receive pdf. of reading. \n\n\n\nJean-Thomas Tremblay is Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at York University. They are the author of Breathing Aesthetics (Duke University Press\, 2022) and co-editor of Avant-Gardes in Crisis: Art and Politics in the Long 1970s (State University of New York Press\, 2021). Jean-Thomas is currently working on two books: The Art of Environmental Inaction and Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction. \n\n\n\nAlice Jarry is an artist-researcher and an assistant professor of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University. She holds the Concordia University Research Chair in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality and is the director of Milieux Institute Speculative Life Biolab. Her research focuses on residual matter\, and responsive biomaterials for the built environment. Specializing in site-specific works\, socio-environmental design\, art-science practices\, and tangible media\, Jarry examines how materiality – engaged in processes of transformation with sites\, technology\, and communities – can provoke the emergence of adaptive forms and resilient socio-environmental relations.

SUMMARY:Video as Intimacy: A Talk With Ishita Tiwary
DESCRIPTION:On November 17th\, join us for the third installment of the Montreal Media History Seminar\, featuring Dr. Ishita Tiwary’s talk Video as Intimacy: Biography of the Straight to Video Erotic Thrillers.  \n\n\n\n“In this presentation\, I present a biography of the video film-making industry in India in the 1980s. I chart its rise to a successful form with the emergence of VHS technology\, and its ultimate marginalization into oblivion. I will track the journey of the video film through a case study of a specific video production house\, Hiba Films. I look at Hiba as an institutional structure that emerged broadly in response to the arrival of video\, and specifically in relation to the rise of the video nasty and straight to video genre across the world. Hiba was the audio-visual sister of India‘s best-selling tabloid film magazine\, Stardust\, which promoted films produced by Hiba in its pages. The production house concentrated on the creation of female stars in order to attract its primarily female audience. The entry of satellite television and piracy led to its decline and the company was ultimately doomed to be forgotten from popular memory. The video-film as a commodity now becomes of academic interest for us. In this lecture\, I tell the story of such an adjacent entertainment industry. The story of a new infrastructure and style located in the heart of Bombay. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, video attempts to define itself as a medium opposed to celluloid. It is this otherness and attempt to define the medium that the presentation hopes to explore through a case study of Hiba. My biographical excavation of Hiba Films will move through legal regulations\, tabloid journalism\, film equipment\, and the star system. I hope to generate through my method a complicated narrative about the unstable life of the video-film“ \n\n\n\n* Registration is required via the Eventbrite page.** For this session\, we ask you to read Dr. Tiwary’s text What is Video: Video and the Moment of Legal Disruption. \n\n\n\nIshita Tiwary is an Assistant Professor at the Mel Hoppenheim school of Cinema\, Concordia University and Canada Research Chair in Media and Migration. Her research interests include video cultures\, media infrastructures\, migration\, contraband media practices\, and media aesthetics. She has published essays in Bioscope: South Asian Screen Studies\, Post Script: Essays in Film and Humanities\, Culture Machine\, MARG: Journal of Indian Art\, and in edited collections on topics of media piracy\, video histories\, and streaming platforms.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture by Dr. Francesca Sobande
DESCRIPTION:The Digital Intimacy\, Gender\, and Sexuality Lab (DIGS) is happy to present Black Feminist Approaches to Digital Experiences\, Archiving\, and Opacity\, a guest lecture by Dr. Francesca Sobande. \n\n\nHow are Black feminist approaches to digital experiences and archiving practices shaping Black history and futures? How do these archival approaches enable Black feminists to play with forms of opacity in ways that subvert the gaze of institutions? Can Black feminist digital archiving efforts result in a redefinition of what it means to archive? Focusing on aspects of Black feminist digital archiving experiences\, and research on Black Scottish history\, this session considers the role and pursuit of forms of opacity as part of such efforts. Moving beyond a focus on questions of visibility and publicness\, this session involves an emphasis on elements of the interiority of Black feminist digital archiving work\, including the generative nature of refusing demands of “transparency”.This online guest lecture is open to all interested students and scholars. Advance registration is required at this link. Please use your institutional email address to register if possible. \n\n\nDr. Francesca Sobande is a senior lecturer\, researcher\, and writer who explores the power and politics of media and the marketplace. Her work focuses on digital remix culture\, Black diaspora and archives\, feminism\, creative work\, pop culture\, branding and crises\, and devolved nations.

SUMMARY:Ethnography Lab Film Nights
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for the first screening of our Ethnography Lab Film Nights! One of Quebec’s most iconic films\, this ethno-fiction is an emblem of the Cinéma direct movement.  \n\n\nThe Concordia Ethnography Lab is happy to launch a series of film nights starting off this month! With these screenings we are inviting you to see through the ethnographic eyes of the directors and think through cinematic images. There will be three screenings taking place before the holidays on select Wednesday evenings at 6pm in the Speculative Life Research Cluster (EV 10.625). \n\n\nThe first event is a screening of Pour la suite du monde (1963) directed by Michel Brault and Pierre Perrault. “Pour la suite du monde is the unrehearsed story of what happened when old-timers from Île-aux-Coudres\, a small island in the St. Lawrence River\, were persuaded to revive a local whale-catching practice” (NFB\, 2006). We chose this Quebec classic to introduce you to the Cinéma direct movement happening in Quebec at the end of the 50s which is characterised by a desire to directly capture reality and the voice of research subjects\, questioning the relationship between cinema and daily life. The film has been called an ethno-fiction\, but we’ll discuss all that together on Nov. 9th!It will be super cozy and we hope to have a nice discussion on the film afterwards!
