Discussion | What’s the Status of 'Raise the Age' and Is It What Reformers Intended?
New York’s Raise the Age law went into effect on October 1. The law ended the State’s practice of automatically treating people as young as 16 as adults in the criminal justice system. It also required the City to move all 16- and 17-year-olds out of the Rikers Island jail. Advocates who fought for Raise the Age believed it would lead to a more humane system. But now, many fear that the brutal conditions of Rikers are being recreated in the facilities where young people are being held. Representatives of the City, credible messenger service providers, and advocates gather to discuss the status of early implementation, challenges, and opportunities for restorative justice and support for young people. Speakers: Antoinette Kennedy, Man Up Inc. Cincere Wilson, Institute for Transformative Mentoring at the Center for New York City Affairs Dana Kaplan, Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice Felipe Franco, Administration for Children’s Services Kate Rubin, Youth Represent Marcus Campbell, Raise the Age Implementation Board Shanduke McPhatter, Gangstas Making Astronomical Community Changes Inc.

We live in uncertain times of serious deterioration of solidarity for human diversity, a widening of economic inequalities and intensification of racial and religious hatred, and alarming tides of authoritarian populism spreading in the West.

Book Club | John Williams' Stoner
William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, so different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude. John Williams (1922-1994) was an American author, editor and professor. He was best known for his novels Stoner (1965) and Augustus (1972). The latter won a U.S. National Book Award. Please read the book before arriving at the book discussion.

Opening Reception | At Home: In the American West
Where do you feel most at home? In a year when thousands of migrant children have been sent to live in tent cities, rents for a San Francisco apartment average $3,750, and wildfires have destroyed entire communities, the question of how people define “home” has never felt more urgent. Some feel nostalgic about where they came from, some never left the towns they grew up in, and others couldn’t wait to leave. At Home features a variety of emerging and established photographers who traveled through ten states in the American West and spoke to people about what, and where, home is. The series includes a formerly homeless woman who finally feels settled in her tiny house in Seattle, a single mother who found her sanctuary living off the grid in the New Mexico desert, a couple who built their dream mansion in the mountains, a DACA recipient who has proudly purchased his first home in Utah, and a Los Angeles native who feels at peace by the ocean.

Slide Lecture | Footlights on Stereotypes: Race, Class & Ethnic Identity in 19th Century Theater
Surrounded by a multi-cultural mix of race, class and ethnicity, the Bowery’s working-class theaters were an incubator for American popular culture, including tap dance, vaudeville, and the troubling theatrical genre of minstrelsy. While much has been written about minstrelsy’s harmful impact on African Americans, less known is that other minorities were also ridiculed on stage, and performers from all these groups had to jostle for elbow room. With a particular focus on African Americans and Irish Americans, this illustrated talk explores how this complex performing arts landscape nonetheless witnessed the emergence of American music, dance and song. Speakers: Mick Moloney is an Irish-born musician, musicologist, folklorist Leni Sloan is an African American artist, humanist, educator

Screening | Mono XI Expanded Cinema Festival: Short Films
Featuring: Lung-ta of Film began with a vision: a film strip exposed with ethical awareness and reverence carries the spiritual valence as one of those strings of fabrics found on high mountains, embedded with prayers that are received only in constant motion. “Lung-ta,” the Tibetan word meaning “wind horse,” is the symbolic name of prayer flags and the flowing spirit in the movement of the wind. The Face of the Other began its making in the heat of the immigration crisis and was initially influenced by Emmanuel Levinas’s writings of ethical metaphysics. Stung by the situation and the mass reactions that eerily carry a danger of reductiveness, the creation of the piece started with the contemplation on alterity – the irreducibility of an other human (autrui), and thus the other’s infinity – and responsibility, which to Levinas is the command of a face-to-face relation to the other that is the most primordial datum of human experience. In Beauty May You Walk completes The Face of the Other both structurally and metaphorically, reevaluating “native” and “immigrant,” “ownership” and “otherness.” It is a visual reflection of the poetry and music of Manoshi Chitra Neogy titled “Beauty” (from album “Wood Orchid,” produced by Scott Endsley), originating from a Navajo night prayer. “Beauty” – “Hozho” in the Navajo language – refers to a state of humanity and a state of the universe. The screening will be concluded and expanded with a multi-projection installation and live performance of Manoshi Chitra Neogy (vocal), Xuezi Zhang and Scott Endsley (percussion).
