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:Joy-Ann Reid at First United Methodist Church
DESCRIPTION:Joy-Ann Reid\, host of MSNBC’s The ReidOut and best-selling author\, chronicles the lives of civil rights icons Medgar and Myrlie Evers. Myrlie Louise Beasley met Medgar Evers in college\, forging an instant connection that culminated in marriage a year later\, prompting her to leave school to prioritize their growing family. Medgar\, an NAACP field secretary\, alongside Myrlie\, focused their energy on fighting against segregation and discrimination. Despite relentless threats and Medgar’s assassination in 1963\, Myrlie carried on their work\, writing about Medgar’s activism and assuming a leadership role in the NAACP. Join Reid in conversation with veteran reporter April Ryan (MSNBC\, The Grio) at Chicago Humanities as they discuss these towering figures in the civil rights movement\, their relationship\, and the crucial groundwork they laid for Black Americans\, which still reverberates to this day. \nThis event will have Assistive Listening Devices and Open Captions. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/joy-ann-reid/

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:Michael Ondaatje: Memory and the Act of Looking Back at First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple
DESCRIPTION:Michael Ondaatje is one of the most influential writers of his generation.

Critically respected for testing the limits of the genre of poetry with playful experimentation\, Ondaatje makes a long-awaited return to the medium with his latest A Year of Last Things\, an exploration of memory\, history\, and the act of looking back. At Chicago Humanities\, Ondaatje presents a reading and then sits down with Srikanth Reddy\, Professor of English at the University of Chicago\, for a conversation about his sometimes witty\, or moving\, but always brilliant poetry. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/michael-ondaantje/
