SUMMARY:Nonny de la Peña\, "Immersive Journalism\, Breaking the Frame\, and the Gender Struggle in Virtual Reality"
DESCRIPTION:CSW is thrilled to feature Nonny de la Peña as part of Feminism and the Senses.\nRSVP for the Talk (Nov. 13\, 4pm\, Faculty Center): https://csw.ucla.edu/VR\nREQUEST an Individual Virtual Reality Appointment (Nov. 13\, 10am-3:30pm): https://csw.ucla.edu/VR-Request\nNonny de la Peña\, named “The Godmother of Virtual Reality” by The Guardian and Engadget and one of the 20 most influential Latina/os in tech by CNET\, is a pioneer of virtual reality and immersive journalism. As the founder and CEO of Emblematic Group she has collaborated with PBS Frontline\, Wall Street Journal\, Planned Parenthood\, the True Colors Fund\, the New York Times\, and other organizations to create impactful virtual reality experiences depicting real-life events. Her VR projects include “Across the Line\,” which helps viewers understand what some women go through to access abortion services\, “After Solitary\,” which takes viewers inside the Maine State Prison to experience a harrowing story of solitary confinement\, and “Out of Exile\,” which uses VR to draw attention to the plight of homeless LGBTQ youth. Other projects have explored Guantanamo Bay Prison\, then experiences of refugees\, and\, most recently\, the impact of climate change on the landscape of Greenland. \nDe la Peña’s talk will explore how immersive journalism can function as a vehicle for change by “breaking the frame” and by engaging the senses of viewers. She will discuss how this approach is informed by feminism\, and how gender inequity in the tech sector—and in VR in particular—shapes her work. \n\nExperience Immersive Journalism First-Hand: Sign up for a Virtual Reality Appointment prior to the talk\nCSW is thrilled to be partnering with Emblematic Group and the UCLA Transient Media Lab in order to offer members of our community a chance to experience Nonny de la Peña’s immersive journalism through the use of Virtual Reality technology and equipment. We will offer the opportunity to view one of the following virtual reality experiences: \nAcross the Line\n \nProduced in partnership with the Planned Parenthood Foundation of America\, Across the Line helps viewers understand what some women go through to access abortion services. The experience places viewers in the shoes of a patient entering a health center. Using real audio gathered at protests\, scripted scenes\, and documentary footage\, the film is a powerful multimedia depiction of the toxic environment that many health care providers\, health center staff\, and patients must endure to provide or access care on a daily basis. \nOut of Exile: Daniel’s Story\n \nOut of Exile is a powerful reminder of the kind of hostility faced by so many in the LGBTQ community. The piece shines a light on a terrible statistic: forty per cent of homeless youth in America identify as LGBTQ\, with the majority coming from communities of color. When Daniel Ashley Pierce is confronted about his sexual orientation by his family in a “religious intervention\,” the scene turns dramatic and violent. This piece\, created in partnership with the True Colors Foundation\, recreates the event using video captured by Daniel at the time. \nGreenland Melting\n \nOn the heels of the United State’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate agreement\, Emblematic’s Greenland Melting – created in collaboration with FRONTLINE and NOVA – provides a rare\, up-close view of icy Arctic scenery that’s disappearing faster than predicted. \n  \nPlease be aware that these experiences address sensitive topics and depict situations which viewers may find triggering\, upsetting\, or difficult to watch.  \nAppointments to view these pieces will take place on November 13th between 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM. \nWhile Nonny de la Peña’s talk is open to all\, limited spots will be available for individual experiences of her virtual reality work. \nTo learn more and request an appointment\, visit https://csw.ucla.edu/VR-request\n\nTHIS IS A FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of all attendees\, please refrain from wearing products that contain fragrances when attending CSW events.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dolores
DESCRIPTION:A special screening of Dolores\, the new documentary film about activist Dolores Huerta. \nHistory tells us Cesar Chavez transformed the U.S. labor movement by leading the first farm workers’ union. But missing from this narrative is his equally influential co-founder\, Dolores Huerta\, who fought tirelessly alongside Chavez for racial and labor justice and became one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century. \nLike so many powerful women advocates\, Dolores and her sweeping reforms were – and still are – sidelined and diminished. Even as she empowered a generation of immigrants to stand up for their rights\, her relentless work ethic was constantly under attack. False accusations from foes and friends alike\, of child neglect and immoral behavior—she married three times and raised 11 children – pushed Dolores out of the very union she helped create. \nPeter Bratt’s provocative and energizing documentary challenges an incomplete history. Through beautifully woven archival footage and interviews from contemporaries and from Dolores herself\, now an octogenarian\, the film sets the record straight on one of the most effective and undervalued civil and labor rights leaders in modern U.S. history. \nView the trailer: \n\nOrganized by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \n
