Forum | The Deepening Confrontation Between Russia and the West


The forum will offer a unique opportunity to gain insight into the underlying trends of a deepening confrontation between Russia and the West that extends into the realms of ideas, information and values. Russia in 2014 has moved aggressively to reassert its authority across Eurasia, and challenge the European order established by the 1975 Helsinki Final Act. Unlike the Cold War, when nuclear warheads were the dominant factor, the chief instrument in the Kremlin’s arsenal these days is mass media. Moscow has harnessed the power of television and the Internet to mobilize domestic public opinion behind Kremlin efforts to destabilize Ukraine, and to extend Russia’s sway in Central Asia and the Caucasus.

Symposium | Improvisation in the Arts


Romare Bearden constantly made the color he constantly looked for. His collages mirrored and enacted what critic Laura Harris calls the aesthetics of black social life, moving against the brutalities of removal and enclosure that structure global black experience and, therefore, the modern world. A Black Odyssey refers, though, not only to Afro-diasporic travel and travail but also to an anoriginary movement of in the art of the West that blackness has come to signifythe polyrhythmic, oral-formulaic, insurgent innovation that was also Homers home away from home. In this panel, a multi-disciplinary group of artists and scholars will sit in with Bearden, gathering with and around his Odyssean practice, his restless, wandering devotion to the scrap, the fragment, the musical moment, and his abiding in and with the imagination, whose enduring philosophical racialization renders it both disposable and appropriable. The intensity of Beardens commitment to the aesthetic contact and content of black social life in its broadest dimensions will serve as an impetus for a wide-ranging discussion of the protocols and implications of improvisation in music, literature, theology, cinema, dance and critical theory. Along with Bearden and, most importantly, the audience, the panel hopes to form a new experimental band.
