DESCRIPTION:A Professor of African American studies at Princeton University\, Ruha Benjamin brings a unique and interdisciplinary perspective to social justice and technology.

SUMMARY:Ali Velshi: Small Acts of Courage Endure at Illinois Tech - Hermann Hall
DESCRIPTION:Over a century ago\, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his son to live at Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. That tough decision forever changed his family story. Velshi’s grandfather became focused on public service\, social justice and the equality of all people. These beliefs evolved through generations as his family escaped apartheid\, emigrated to Kenya and ultimately settled in Canada and the United States. In Velshi’s most recent book\, Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy\, he explores his family legacy and takes notes from social justice warriors Mahatma Gandhi\, Nelson Mandela and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a guide to how small actions of those who fought for democracy and freedom have profound political impacts. Chicago Humanities welcomes the famed author as he explores 125 years of family history and how social justice is a living\, breathing experience―a way of life more than an ideology. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/ali-velshi/

SUMMARY:Disorderly Conduct - Queer Short Films w/ Open Captions at FACETS
DESCRIPTION:In these short films from the queer underground\, unruly rebels trespass\, shoplift\, scheme\, skate\, surf\, fuck\, and joyfully plot their revenge on a society which seeks to punish deviance. Featuring a live DJ set by easygoingtech at 9pm. \nAmerica loves outlaws. Curious paradox: a police state which valorizes those who don’t fall in line\, provided they have the right combination of individualism and normative appeal. Our ideal outlaws can transgress for themselves\, for family\, maybe for a love interest—but never for a group. Never for a community. Above all\, our mythic outlaw\, whatever his motivations\, works alone. The valorized American outlaw-hero could either be a criminal living in bold defiance of the law or an upright citizen forced to tragically buck the rules of society due to unusual circumstances. But what about those who can neither disregard the law nor take temporary hiatus from its approval? Those for whom adhering to the rules of society means destruction? \nStealing testosterone to redistribute to trans men\, trespassing to dance\, shoplifting to feed your friends\, defiling a colonizer’s grave\, assassinating a billionaire: these short films find in criminality the potential for new social forms\, beautiful acts of love\, and collective liberation. The rules are fucked up. Why not break them? \n7:30pm show will be followed by a Q&A with “The Beach Boys” writer/director Milo Talwani\, moderated by program curator Henry Hanson with Live CART captioning. \nTHE FILMS \nHormonal (Maz Murray\, 2023) 12:22\, UK\nYoung trans guy Gary catches eyes with brooding trans geezer Ian across the square of their Essex hometown\, and unwittingly walks into a testosterone heist plot… (Instagram: @maz_murray @chazzamnazza_makesstuf) \nCicada (FRANK/ie CONSENT\, 2021) 6:30\, USA\nA single-take dance video shot in an abandoned industrial lot\, set to a radio broadcast switching between music and Trump-era punditry.

SUMMARY:Dance Residency Open Studio Series with Amalia Raye Wiatr Lewis at Chicago Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:Soak is a dance-based performance project that emerges from a study of public bathing. This work considers how both dance and bathing practices carve out space to imagine new ways of relating to our bodies and each other. This piece explores the movements of pleasure and leisure\, collectively created social space\, and the relationship between body\, sound\, and environment. \nAmalia Raye Wiatr Lewis (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist working with living beings\, experiences\, and objects. Rooted in ecological wonder and an exploration of the sacred\, she works with dancers\, non-dancers and sound artists to create site-specific performances and public interventions.
