SUMMARY:Culture Shock! ArtFront NH
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Culture Shock!” at Jupiter Hall and explore the dissonance\, diversity and cultural integration of Manchester’s lively and cosmopolitan community. Manchester’s Claudia Rippee will be showing her collection of poignant graffiti photographs. These crisp and riveting images will be juxtaposed against Patrick McCay’s vivid\, textural paintings. Added to the mix will be the haunting faces created by photographer Tim Donovan. These remarkable images are borrowed from his Phantasmagoric portfolio. Rounding out the show will be sculptural elements created by installation artist Erin Sweeney. Erin’s work will be drawn from her mixed media installation “How To Build A Community” along with her storyteller sculptures. When combined\, this work will challenge and inform preconceptions about the social\, cultural and ethnic diversity within The Queen City. \nComplimenting the art on the walls will be a steady but unexpected flow of dance and music. On the 12th and 13th\, Wisty Andres\, a classically trained contemporary dancer and Theo Marty\, a dancer/drummer trained in several West African traditions will improvise together. The results will unwind in an entirely original\, ephemeral and personal dance. Deo Mwano and Movement From Above will bring their inimitable blend of hip hop and jazz fusion to the event on the 14th Boston based Lorraine Chapman will return again with another rendition The Suit Lady character who will be a running persona in all Art Front events. She’s a surprise guest who reveals her own experience of the art and evening.

SUMMARY:2017 Black New England Conference
DESCRIPTION:2017 Black New England Conference\nThe Science and Engineering of Race: Living Through the Archives \nThe Carsey School is a proud co-sponsor of the 2017 Black New England Conference. This conference will discuss how modern medical and social sciences have made some extraordinary advances through the exploitation of Black bodies while simultaneously allowing myths of racial inferiority to continue as justification for centuries of enslavement and political disenfranchisement. \nFrom the Tuskegee syphilis experiment to the unethical use of Henrietta Lacks’ cells to engineer a polio vaccine\, to the ongoing forced sterilization of Black women in clinics and prisons\, the story of American scientific advancement carries with it a shadow story of ethical corruption\, pain\, and silencing. The insidious parallel fictions of the innate athleticism\, super strength and natural rhythm of African people are rooted in pseudo-scientific research and writings. \nIn unpacking this theme\, conference presenters will examine the historical and current impact of “race science” and pseudoscientific movements to present “race as destiny” on fields of inquiry ranging on areas of modern medicine and health care\, reproductive rights\, public policy\, criminal law\, civil rights\, athletics\, educational access\, and effects on the arts and entertainment industries. \nConference Panels Include: \n\nHidden Figures: Reintroducing Regional Black Scientists & Innovators\nIn the Name of Science: A Film Discussion\nOut of The Shadows: A Conversation with Shelly Walcott & Katherine Sanders\nTracing Genetic Ancestry & Reclaiming Black Spaces\nInventing Race: Science\, Medicine & Big Business\nSkeletons in Our Closet: Anthropology’s Role in Constructing and Deconstructing the Science of Race\nAfrofuturism: The Way Forward\n\nView the Conference Schedule Here.  \nThe Black New England Conference\, now in its 11th year\, is a regularly occurring 2-day gathering to share insights and scholarly work on Black experiences\, past and present\, in New England. Recent keynote speakers at the conferences have included comedian and activist Dick Gregory\, columnist Derrick Jackson\, actor and activist Sheryl Lee Ralph\, director John W. Franklin\, playwright Lydia Diamond\, author Lorene Carey\, and Professors James Campbell and James O. Horton\, with topical presentations by professional and independent scholars\, community researchers\, writers\, artists\, and activists. The Conference is both an academic conference and a celebration of Black life and history. \n\n\nFriday\, October 20\, 2017 – 10:00am to Saturday\, October 21\, 2017 – 5:00pm\n\n\n\n\nHuddleston Hall Ballroom\, UNH\, Durham\n\n\n

She is an award-winning journalist who has reported for Time magazine\, CBS News\, and Sports Illustrated. She edited Nieman Reports at Harvard University’s Nieman Foundation for Journalism for 13 years. To pursue her writing in social and political justice issues\, she was awarded academic fellowships from Harvard University\, Radcliffe College\, and Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. In 2010 Ludtke received the Yankee Quill Award for lifetime achievement as a journalist. \nMs. Ludtke made history while covering baseball as a reporter for Sports Illustrated. After Commissioner Bowie Kuhn denied her access to interview ballplayers in team locker rooms\, Time Inc.\, the company that owned Sports Illustrated\, filed a federal lawsuit (Ludtke v. Kuhn). The lawsuit claimed that Major League Baseball’s media policy of providing unequal access to women reporters violated her rights under the Fourteenth Amendment by depriving her of the liberty to fully pursue a career in sports reporting. In September 1978\, a federal judge agreed\, establishing equal access to locker rooms for women reporters. Her papers related to this groundbreaking suit are archived at Harvard’s Schlesinger Library\, and her oral history of this period in time is preserved as part of the Washington Press Club Foundation’s Women in Journalism oral history project.
