SUMMARY:Tendayi Sithole: “Re-Reading Steve Biko in the Archive:  The Epistemology of the Interview”
DESCRIPTION:“Re-Reading Steve Biko in the Archive: \nThe Epistemology of the Interview” \n  \nTendayi Sithole | University of South Africa \n  \n  \nMonday\, March 5\, 2018 | 2:00 pm \n10383 Bunche Hall \nFree and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \n  \nScholar/Critic/Poet Tendayi Sithole: \n“The archive and the interview assume the place of the original because they are considered primary if not authentic texts.  Both are\, of course\, very important textual forms and more so if they are about important figures.  In this paper\, I want to re-read the archive and also the interview as important sites in understanding the knowledge practices of Biko under the context of the apartheid regime.  This will be done by engaging the interview that Gail Gerhart conducted with Biko in 1972 as the site of examination of the conception of the archive and the interview in re-reading the subjectivity of Biko.” \n  \nTendayi Sithole is an associate professor in the Department of Political Sciences\, University of South Africa.  He is the author of Steve Biko: Decolonial Meditations of Black Consciousness (2016). Professor Sithole teaches holds a doctorate in African Politics which was based on Achille Mbembe’s political thought.  Thematic areas of his research are black radical thought\, decolonial critical theory\, Africana existential phenomenology\, public intellectuals\, and literary studies. \n  \nThis lecture is part of the African Studies Center Speaker Series and is cosponsored by Professor Robin D.G. Kelley\, Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History\, UCLA Department of African American Studies and the African Activist Association. \n  \nFor questions/more information\, contact: \nUCLA African Studies Center | 10244 Bunche Hall | Los Angeles\, CA 90095-1310 | Telephone: 310-825-3686 \nWebsite: http://www.international.ucla.edu/africa | email: africa@international.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:From Zamunda to Wakanda:  Celebrating 30 years of Culturally Diverse Design and Imagination in Film
DESCRIPTION:From Zamunda to Wakanda:\nCelebrating 30 Years of Culturally Diverse Design and\nImagination in Film\nfeaturing an evening with costume designers \nDeborah Nadoolman Landis\nComing to America (1988) \nand \nRuth E. Carter\nBlack Panther (2018) \nImagination has been key to the Black Freedom Struggle and Black cultural expression. No two places best reflect this point more than the filmic chocolate cities of Zamunda (Coming To America\, 1988) and Wakanda (Black Panther 2018). In celebration of Women’s History Month\, we honor the 30th Anniversary of Coming to America bringing it into dialogue with the new global hit Black Panther. This event will bring together the marvelous Academy Award nominated costume designers for both films\, Deborah Nadoolman Landis and Ruth E. Carter\, in a dynamic revisit of each film and a discussion of their paths to and through the films. 30-years-ago the world was introduced to the African chocolate city\, Zamunda\, as the titular Prince Akeem (played by Eddie Murphy)\, went on a global search for the love of his life. A worldwide classic then and now\, Coming to America\, especially as realized through costume design has lived on\, inspiring everything from weddings\, to birthdays\, to many subsequent films. 30-years-later the world has again witnessed the magic and power of African inspired costume design in Black Panther as the protagonist King T’Challa serves and protects his people and country from outsiders and internal strife. \nPlease join us March 26\, 2018 at the James Bridges Theater at 7:00 p.m.\, as we gather to honor the genius of costume designers Deborah Nadoolman Landis and Ruth E. Carter\, exploring the people\, ideas and the research that guided their visions and helped make the African dreamscapes of Zamunda and Wakanda a rich and lasting portrait of Black possibilities\, futures\, lives and love. \n  \nRSVP NOW!\nzamundatowakanda.eventbrite.com\n  \nCo-sponsored by: \nUCLA Department of African American Studies \nUCLA African Studies Center \nUCLA School of Theater\, Film\, and Television\nThe David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design
