SUMMARY:Thinking Gender 2020: Sexual Violence as Structural Violence: Feminist Visions of Transformative Justice
DESCRIPTION:This year marks Thinking Gender’s 30th anniversary! \nFRIDAY\, MARCH 6\, 2020\nCARNESALE COMMONS\, UCLA \nGENERAL REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN \nPre-Register by Friday\, February 28\, 2020. In-person registration will also be available on the day of the event. \nDETAILED SCHEDULE \nThinking Gender 2020 will focus on feminist\, queer\, trans\, anti-carceral\, transnational\, and intersectional approaches to sexual violence.  \nRecent #MeToo mobilizations against high-profile predatory sexual abusers including Harvey Weinstein\, R. Kelly\, and Jeffrey Epstein have heightened public conversation around sexual violence. While important contributions have challenged dominant approaches to sexual violence\, much of it has remained caught in legalistic\, carceral\, or criminal justice discourses that emphasize the punishment of individual actors to the exclusion of envisioning alternative definitions of repair and justice. Such dominant approaches center evidence and proof\, and offer only the punishment of individual perpetrators as remedy\, often in ways that exacerbate existing structural inequalities. Decades of scholarship and activism have demonstrated the inefficacy of such punitive models to curb sexual violence as well as the ways in which they exacerbate the policing of already marginalized communities. \n\nKEYNOTE PANEL\nTransformational Justice: Refusing Criminalization and Sexual Violence\nFriday\, March 6\, 2020\, 3:15 PM\nThinking Gender 2020: Sexual Violence as Structural Violence: Feminist Visions of Transformative Justice will feature a keynote panel of scholars and activists\, headlined by Mariame Kaba. The panel will follow an opening presentation by Tongva artist\, Weshoyot Alvitre. \nREAD FULL BIOGRAPHIES \nKeynote Panelists:\nMariame Kaba\nFounder and Director\, Project NIA; Researcher-in-Residence\, Social Justice Institute\, Barnard Center for Research on Women \n\n  \n  \n\nMimi Kim\nAssistant Professor of Social Work\, California State University\, Long Beach \n  \n  \nEmily Thuma\nAssistant Professor of American Politics and Public Law\, University of Washington Tacoma \n\n  \n  \n\nSarah Haley (Moderator)\nChair\, CSW Advisory Committee; Director\, UCLA Black Feminism Initiative; Professor\, Gender Studies and African American Studies \n  \nKeynote Opener:\nWeshoyot Alvitre\nIllustrator and Comic Book Artist\, Tongva (Los Angeles Basin) \n  \n  \n\nCONFERENCE SCHEDULE\nView Conference Overview \nCheck back regularly and join our email list for updates. \n\nACCESSIBILITY\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:Melnitz Repertory presents: Passing Through w/ Larry Clark in person (16mm)
DESCRIPTION:One of the greatest jazz films ever made\, screening in its original format\, with director Larry Clark in person\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 13\, 2020 \n7:30 PM – 10:00 PM \nJames Bridges Theater\, UCLA Melnitz 1409 \n\n\nFree screening! \n16mm preservation print from the UCLA Film and Television Archive\, co-presented by the UCLA Department of African-American Studies and the AMIA UCLA Student Chapter \nWith director Larry Clark in person for a conversation with film curator Jheanelle Brown (LA Filmforum) \nREGISTER HERE \nThe explosion of African-American filmmakers who came out of UCLA’s film school in the 1970s—collectively referred to as the L.A. Rebellion—produced a groundbreaking body of work that is often difficult to see. Rarely screened\, Larry Clark’s expressionistic celebration of Black jazz music and its resistance to commodification is one of the great neglected independent films of the era. When a saxophonist (Nathaniel Taylor) is released from jail\, he considers and rejects a white-dominated music industry\, seeking instead to reunite with his mentor (Clarence Muse) and his former bandmates. Unavailable on home video\, we are honored to present Clark’s debut feature in its original format\, with the filmmaker in person—to reappraise a film that\, per Clark\, “wasn’t made for release\, it was made for the revolution.” Winner: Special Jury Prize\, Locarno Film Festival (1977) \n“One of the rare fiction features about the jazz world made by a black filmmaker… Original and thoughtful\, this is a very special first feature\, with a feeling for the music that’s boldly translated into film style.” -Jonathan Rosenbaum\, The Chicago Reader \n“A rarely seen but utterly remarkable graduation feature about jazz\, the Attica prison riot\, white exploitation of blacks in the music biz and revolution\, featuring toothsome footage of Horace Tapscott’s Pan-Afrikan People’s Jazz Arkestra.” -The Guardian \nJheanelle Brown is a film curator/programmer and educator based in Los Angeles whose curatorial practice creates frameworks to explore the boundlessness of Black life in experimental and non-fiction film and video. She is interested in the space between fugitivity and futurity and elevating an ethic of care. Jheanelle is a board member and an associate programmer for Los Angeles Filmforum and recently served as guest co-curator\, with Darol Olu Kae\, for Black Radical Imagination. Jheanelle was co-curator\, with Sarah Loyer\, of Time Is Running Out of Time: Experimental Film and Video from the L.A. Rebellion and Today on view at Art + Practice. She is currently Special Faculty at California Institute of the Arts and Distinguished Visiting Artist at Otis College of Art and Design. \nPlease note: this screening is first-come\, first-serve\, with priority for those on the RSVP list or with Bruin ID cards.  \nDoors open at 7:00 and the screening will begin at 7:30pm.
