SUMMARY:Weaving Generations Together: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Powell Library for the opening reception to Weaving Generations Together: Evolving Creativity in the Maya of Chiapas.\n\nThis exhibition explores cultural transmission and learning through children’s play weaving and apprenticeship in the Maya Highland community of Zincantán\, Chiapas\, Mexico. The exhibition sho \nws over one hundred textiles from Zincantán drawn from a research collection spanning from 1943 to the present\, including hand-woven and embroidered ponchos\, shawls\, and huipils in vibrant colors and metallic threads as well as looms and weavings made by children. Maya people wear traditional clothing today and the exhibition demonstrates both continuity and change through the expression of weaving and embroidery. \nThis exhibition is based on a book by Patricia Marks Greenfield. \nMore information on the exhibition’s run can also be found HERE. \n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nUCLA Library\nOffice of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion\nAmerican Indian Studies Center\nChicano Studies Research Center\nLatin American Institute\nCenter for Mexican Studies\nFiat Lux\nOffice of Instructional Development

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Queens of Syria
DESCRIPTION:Queens of Syria tells the story of sixty women from Syria\, all forced into exile in Jordan\, who came together in Autumn 2013 to create and perform their own version of the Trojan Women\, Euripides’s tragedy about the plight of women in war. What followed was an extraordinary moment of cross-cultural contact across millennia\, in which women born in 20th century Syria found a blazingly vivid mirror of their own experiences in the stories of a queen\, princesses and ordinary women like them\, uprooted\, enslaved\, and bereaved by the Trojan War. \nView the trailer: \n\nCo-sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Center for the Study of Women\nUCLA School of Theater\, Film and Television\nUCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies\nPromise Institute for Human Rights at UCLA Law\nUCLA First Year Experience

SUMMARY:Kathryn Dudley\, "Trusting Mustangs: Feral Ontologies\, Trans-Species Affects"
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Dudley’s research focuses on embodied knowledge and social trauma under regimes of labor that are marginalized by transformations in global capitalism. Her books The End of the Line: Lost Jobs\, New Lives in Postindustrial America and Debt and Dispossession: Farm Loss in America’s Heartland are community studies\, respectively\, of deindustrialization and the demise of family farm agriculture. Her documentary film Black Land Loss examines African American farmers’ class action lawsuit against the USDA. Guitar Makers: The Endurance of Artisanal Values in North America chronicles the rise of a countercultural lutherie movement in the United States and Canada. Her current work tracks the affects\, materialities\, and temporalities that subtend the postindustrial imaginary. Among other honors\, Dudley received the Margaret Mead Award of the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology for writing that reaches broadly concerned publics.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Silent Song of the Genjer Flowers
DESCRIPTION:This filmed stage play highlights the perspectives of women activists of Gerwani (Indonesian Women’s Movement) who were political prisoners from 1965\, suffered sexual violence\, and were stigmatized for decades as immoral women in Indonesia. During that time hundreds of thousands of members of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) or those considered close to the PKI were murdered and tens of thousands also also imprisoned. Out of this upheaval came the military backed New Order regime\, under General Suharto. \nScholars have argued that the New Order regime legitimized itself through the demonization of female sexuality used to evoke fear of communism in society. The myth of Gerwani as a monster was not only a justification for the mass slaughter and dictatorship but also the removal of women from the political realm. During the New Order era\, women’s role in public areas was allowed as long as it was within the structures defined by the state\, which positioned women as obedient to and dependent on men. Gerwani had been an organization that fought for women’s rights in all areas. The regime’s black slander has erased Gerwani’s real role from our memory. The play offers a counter-discourse by depicting the experience of the five former political prisoners. \nFaiza Mardzoeki is an Indonesian playwright\, director\, producer\, and activist. Since 2002\, she has initiated and produced fourteen theatre productions\, some of which she wrote herself. Of these dramas\, three were published as books in 2017. These are her adaptations of Ib-sen’s A Dolls House\, (Nora) and An Enemy of the People (Subversif!) published by Djaman Baroe and her original play Nyanyi Sunyi Kembang-Kembang Genjer (Silent Song of the Genjer Flowers) published by Ultimus. In addition to theatre\, Faiza is also active in women movements. Between 1997 and 2002 she worked for Solidaritas Perempuan- Women’s Solidarity for Human Rights. She has participated and presented in many international forums of art and women.
