SUMMARY:Politics of Poetics: CAConrad
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nJoin us for a reading with poet CAConrad in celebration of the new series Politics of Poetics. \nASL and CART captioning are provided. \nAbout the Series\nPolitics of Poetics is a new quarterly program series held in the MCA’s Edlis Neeson Theater that highlights today’s leading poets whose practices traverse the political through writing\, teaching\, and activism. The series invites poets from across the globe to give readings and be in conversation with artists and other thinkers about the themes in their work. Historically\, poets and visual artists have benefitted from close collaboration and artistic exchange\, sharing in technical approaches and critical ideas of the day. Like many of the artists exhibited at the MCA\, these poets take up critical issues in their work while propelling voices\, stories\, and thoughts under-seen and under-regarded in traditional canons. \nAbout the Speaker\nCAConrad has worked with the ancient technologies of poetry and ritual since 1975. Their latest book is Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return (Wave Books / UK Penguin 2024). They received the Ruth Lily Poetry Prize\, a PEN Josephine Miles Award\, a Creative Capital grant\, a Pew Fellowship\, and a Lambda Award. They exhibit poems as art objects with recent solo shows in Spain and Portugal\, and their play The Obituary Show was made into a film in 2022 by the artist Augusto Cascales.

SUMMARY:Judith Butler: Who’s Afraid of Gender? at Music Box Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Judith Butler’s groundbreaking work\, and their theory of gender performativity\, has had a vast influence on contemporary scholarship in feminism and gender studies. In Butler’s latest work\, Who’s Afraid of Gender?\, they tackle the global rise of right-wing movements that seek to nullify reproductive justice\, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence and strip trans and queer people of their rights. Butler draws upon an array of approaches to gender to expose how authoritarian and fascist politics rely on a frightening phantasm of gender. Chicago Humanities welcomes this iconic thought leader for a timely discussion that offers rigorous analysis\, hope\, freedom and solidarity in confronting the reactionary politics that seek to intensify marginalization and inequality. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/judith-butler/

SUMMARY:The Verge AI Sessions: AI and Humans at School of the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of artificial intelligence tools has created a flood of AI-generated content online\, much of it spammy\, inaccurate\, or even abusive. In her coverage\, The Verge reporter Mia Sato documents how generative AI is being used to accelerate the production of junk online and entrench existing disparities around art and labor. She’ll offer primers on how to spot this kind of AI-generated content — but is there another way forward to harness AI? \nArtists and technologists are exploring fascinating ways to use AI that probe creative limitations and cut at the very question of what “human-made” can look like. Join The Verge journalist Mia Sato and pioneering artists and thinkers in the field to examine where AI-powered content appears today\, and how automated tools could be used in the future. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/verge-ai-human/

SUMMARY:The Verge AI Sessions: Art Creator or Thief? at School of the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:What guardrails do artists need in a new age of artificial intelligence? As artists voice concerns about AI replacing their work or using their creative intellectual property to train AI models without proper consent or compensation\, lawmakers are beginning to take notice. The essence of this debate — what artists seek and how regulations should adapt — often remains overshadowed by broader discussions on copyright law and regulation. Join The Verge AI reporter Emilia David as she leads Chicago Humanities through a crucial and timely conversation with one of the plaintiffs in the ongoing Andersen v. Stability AI case\, Kelly McKernan\, on the current legal challenges working through the courts and the impact of generative AI systems on the art world. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/verge-ai-art/

SUMMARY:Samita Sinha\, Tremor at the Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Tremor is artist and composer Samita Sinha’s latest performance work. In the piece\, Sinha explores what she describes as “the practice of attuning oneself to the raw material of vibration and its emergence in space\, as well as unfolding the possibilities that arise from encounters between this sonic material and other individuals.” Tremor is born from Sinha’s practice of decomposing\, distilling\, and transforming Indian vocal traditions through the body\, employing sound as a vessel that harnesses and liberates energy through oneself. Through this practice\, what emerges is a new language with the potential to challenge our thinking\, reconfigure our relationships\, and open new forms of collaboration. In Tremor\, Sinha asks how we might reactivate our relationship to life itself through our sense of vibration\, despite the numbing and distorting effects of coloniality and modernity. How can our voices be vessels to repair the fabric of our interconnection and open generative possibilities? How can we relearn to listen? \nPerformed in relationship to a live sonic environment created by composer Ash Fure\, and within a space designed by architect Sunil Bald\, Sinha is joined on stage each night by a rotating cast of sound-and movement-based collaborators. The casting schedule will be announced in the coming months. \nTremor was co-commissioned by Western Front (Vancouver\, CA) and Danspace Project (New York). \nThis performance is part of On Stage: Resonance\, organized by Tara Aisha Willis\, former Curator in Performance\, with Laura Paige Kyber\, Curatorial Associate. \nRun time: 60-75 min \nContent Warning: \nSeating for this performance is general admission and on stage. A limited number of cushions are available for sitting on the floor\, and provide the closest proximity to the performance. If you require a chair\, please speak with a staff member who can assist you. The performance includes the use of theatrical haze. Some loud sounds may occur throughout. There will be intervals of very low light\, including complete darkness at times. \nEar plugs are available upon request for all performances.

SUMMARY:The Swans of Harlem: Reclaiming the History of Black Ballet at Francis W. Parker School
DESCRIPTION:The legendary “Swans of Harlem” ballerinas take the stage with Brandis Friedman (co-anchor\, WTTW Chicago Tonight / host\, Black Voices) and author Karen Valby to reclaim and lift up the trailblazing contributions to the dance world by these Black artists whose stories have been marginalized\, devalued and forgotten by history. Stay after the chat for a live dance performance tribute to the Swans by the Chicago-based dance company Move Me Soul. \nAt the height of the Civil Rights Era\, Lydia Abarca was a star prima ballerina leading international performances for the Dance Theatre of Harlem\, and the first Black ballerina with a ballet company to grace the cover of Dance Magazine. Abarca formed an unbreakable bond with fellow pioneering dancers\, including Sheila Rohan\, Karlya Shelton and Marcia Sells. At a time of intense racial and gender inequality\, these remarkable women performed for the Queen of England\, at the White House and beyond. Decades later\, however\, their story was still missing from history. This groundbreaking group of friends reunite at Chicago Humanities to discuss Valby’s new book\, The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas\, Fifty Years of Sisterhood\, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History. Their enthralling saga celebrates resilient Black women\, the enduring power of female friendship\, and reveals the hidden history of Black ballet\, kept secret for far too long. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/swans-harlem/

SUMMARY:Bakari Sellers: Moving Forward from The Race Reckoning at Ramova Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Former South Carolina State Representative and CNN Political Analyst Bakari Sellers passionately asked live on-air the question that many Black Americans had in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020: “We have black children. I have a 15-year-old daughter. I mean\, what do I tell her?” Four years later\, Sellers has an answer to the question he raised on CNN. Discover his answers as Chicago Humanities grapples with this difficult question and learns about Barkari’s journey for personal and public policy solutions that impact Black families across the country. Sellers examines the inequalities in healthcare and education\, and policing gaps\, drawing from discussions with key thinkers like Rev. William Barber and attorney Ben Crump.
