Lonnie Graham’s "A Conversation with the World"

Lonnie Graham is a photographer, installation artist, and cultural activist investigating methods by which the arts may be used to achieve tangible meaning in people’s lives. Based in Philadelphia, he is a Professor of Visual Art at Pennsylvania State University and has been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Pew Charitable Trust, and the Pennsylvania Council for the Arts. For more than three decades, he has created a series of photographs titled Conversation with the World. Last year Graham generously donated seventeen prints from the series to the JSMA.

A Conversation with the World comprises work done in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Rim, Europe, and the Americas. Graham meets individuals and, through mutual trust, makes a portrait and records a conversation. Regardless of age, gender or nationality, all were asked the same eight questions pertaining to origins, family, life, death, values, tradition, and thoughts on Western Culture. Their individual portraits and responses make up the content of the project that the artist hopes will “delve beneath the superficial patina of cultural differences to explore the essential and fundamental motivations of human beings in order to clearly illustrate the bond that is inherently our humanity.”

Navigating Non-Linear Career Paths

Stepping off the traditional academic faculty pathway – that well-trodden road leading from assistant to associate to the full profession – can feel daunting, especially after most PhDs have invested over a decade of time pursuing a linear training model that leads them from an undergraduate degree to a graduate degree to the completion of a dissertation. How do professionals outside of the academy create and maintain networks, move between roles and industries, and tolerate the uncertainty that accompanies all of the above? Colette Johnson is Director of Strategy and Operations at Ithaka S+R, a New-York based research and consulting firm that studies higher education. She founded and runs the Ithaka S+R Fellowship Program. She also serves as a Professor of Practice for the Calhoun Honors Discovery Program at Virginia Tech. Colette received her PhD in English from Princeton University.

Saturday Seminars: National Identity: Forming, Sustaining and Transitioning to Modernity

The question of what defines a nation continues to be hotly disputed around the globe. The formation of a nation, and its sustainable transition to a modern entity, must involve the selection of key parts of a shared past that do not conflict with key elements of modernity but are unique enough to create a distinct identity based on cultural affinity. Framed by several assigned short readings, this seminar will examine a number of “nations”, discuss their significant elements, and assess their chances of a sustainable survival. Participants will each choose a “nation” to research and report on for class discussion (Kurds, Taiwanese, Tibetans, Navajo, Fulani, Quebecois, etc.), leading to a deeper understanding of both histories and contemporary events.

We will look at major components of identity formation (e.g., language, literature, dress, food, history, religion?) and examples of transition paths to modernity in different regions of the world. Participants will each choose a ‘national identity’ to consider its formation basis and consequences in different regions of the world including Asia (east, south and southeast), Central and Western Europe, North America, Arab and non-Arab Muslim regions, Native America, Japan, China, and Indian regional sub-nationalities. Class time will be used to report components of identity and its use to transition to (or impede) a viable modernity, share relevant readings and current events in their particular area, and culminate in class discussion.

A central reading will provide the context for this discussion, applicable at various scales from the multinational region to discrete sub-national entities. Other readings will underlie regional examples across the globe.

Session 1: Define “nation”, “state”, “national identity”, “development” and “modernity”. Discuss sources drawn upon, evolutionary paths, and consequences will be illustrated examples. Post possible case studies from which students can choose their project topic, selected by students.

Session 2: First group presents case studies. Discussion regarding similarities and differences among examples, and comparison to Session 1 basic national identity characteristics and example paths.

Session 3: Second group presents case studies. Discussion regarding similarities and differences among examples, and comparison to previous sessions’ basic national identity characteristics and example paths.

Session 4: Third group presents case studies. Discussion regarding similarities and differences among examples, and comparison to previous sessions’ basic national identity characteristics and example paths. Conclusion focuses on looking ahead to conjecture most successful/sustainable cases and anticipate troubles of other groups.

Native Studies Research Colloquium—Deepening Place Relationship: A Request for Feedback

Join Elisabeth McCumber for a discussion of her master’s thesis—a series of essays about a little valley in the Western Oregon Coast Range, and the relationships that people have with place. Drawing on archaeology, oral tradition, pioneer archives, and interviews with Native and Euroamerican participants, Elisabeth’s work calls on people not to take place for granted but to embrace it as home, reframing one's presence on the land as one among many human and other-than-human communities, and exploring our responsibility toward a shared future. Given the massive ecological and social changes we face, this work is timely for many communities and places. With plans to develop the project into a book, Elisabeth seeks feedback on ways in which it could be strengthened or expanded.

 

Biography: After working in creative services for a dozen years, Elisabeth McCumber earned a master’s of cultural anthropology with a minor in history from Oregon State University. Her research interests include mythology, oral tradition, narrative, multi-species ethnography, and place relationship. Connect with Elisabeth at https://linktr.ee/independentpen.

Climate Action: A Powerful Prescription to Improve Health and Equity

Please register at: https://sojc.link/johnston

The event is also available via livestream at https://sojc.link/johnston-livestream. 

Climate change threatens all that we care about, especially as it is already harming health and threatening our health systems. These risks impact everyone to some degree, and climate change is already contributing to disease and death—especially in those who are the most vulnerable. An equitable transition away from fossil fuels is not just about polar bears and icebergs. It’s a fundamental prescription to improve health and equity both now and in the future. We have the tools we need, but achieving this rapid transition requires engagement from across academia and society. Communication and storytelling that places health and equity at the center of climate change is a powerful way to make the crisis personal and the benefits tangible. Learn how you can be a part of the solution during this timely talk with Renee Salas, MD, MPH, MS.

The talk and Q&A will be followed by a reception with light refreshments at 6:30 p.m.

 

About the Speaker

Renee Salas, MD, MPH, MS, is a recognized expert on climate change and its implications for health and health care delivery. She holds a variety of appointments across Harvard University and is a practicing physician in emergency medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has led endeavors with the world’s top general medical journals, including spearheading work with The New England Journal of Medicine Group and founding and leading the Working Group for the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change Brief for the United States, serving as senior author in 2022. Dr. Salas was elected to the National Academy of Medicine for her work, an honorific society that is considered one of the highest honors in the field of health and medicine.

Naama Tsabar: “Artist Talk”

University of Oregon Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presented by the Department of Art and Center for Art Research

Naama Tsabar’s practice fuses elements from sculpture, music, performance, and architecture. Her interactive works expose hidden spaces and systems, reconceive gendered narratives, and shift the viewing experience to one of active participation. Tsabar draws attention to the muted and unseen by propagating sound through space and sculptural form. Between sculpture and instrument, form, and sound, Tsabar’s work lingers on the intimate, sensual and corporeal potentials within this transitional state. Collaborating with local communities of female identifying and gender non-conforming performers, Tsabar challenges the canon of mastery by writing new feminist and queer histories of mastery. In her talk, Tsabar will discuss interactivity within the exhibition realm, the conception, and the use of various performative elements in her work and a feminist approach to performance and community.

Naama Tsabar (b. 1982, Israel) lives and works in New York. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2010. Solo exhibitions and performances of Tsabar have been presented at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), Museum of Art and Design (New York), The High Line Art (New York), Nasher Museum (Durham, NC), Kunsthaus Baselland (Switzerland), Palais De Tokyo (Paris), Prospect New Orleans, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, The Herziliya Museum for Contemporary Art in Israel, MARTE-C (El Salvador), CCA Tel Aviv (Israel), Faena Buenos Aires, Frieze Projects New York, Kasmin (New York), Paramo Gallery (Guadalajara), Dvir Gallery (Israel and Brussels), Spinello Projects (Miami) Shulamit Nazarian (Los Angeles), The Bass Museum (Miami), Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (Connecticut). Her work has been featured in publications including  ArtForum, Art In America, ArtReview, ARTnews, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Frieze, Bomb Magazine, Art Asia Pacific, Wire, and Whitewall, among others.

Lectures are also live streamed and archived on YouTube.
