Author Reading | Muserref Yetim discusses her book Negotiating International Water Rights: Resource Conflict in Turkey, Syria and Iraq


Transboundary watercourses account for an estimated 60 percent of global freshwater flow and support the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Yet the indeterminate status of water rights in many international watercourses presents a continuing problem and many attempts to resolve water rights issues have failed. Knowing how and where negotiations fail is essential if successful resolution is to be achieved. Müserref Yetim’s important book seeks to illustrate a means to the peaceful resolution of natural resource-based conflicts. Through a detailed study of the Tigris-Euphrates water conflict, the author clarifies the collective action dilemmas confronting Middle Eastern watercourses and reveals the bargaining bottlenecks where negotiations fail. She develops an original framework that explains bargaining failures and proposes conditions for creating a new property rights regime among watercourse states that offers a route to governing their shared water resources in ways that are politically, economically and environmentally sound.

Opening Reception | Group Show: Re/collection


This show explores questions of form, feeling, memory, and perception. This group exhibition is interested in refusals of inclusion within hegemonic structures, imaginaries and languages of belonging, and reorients us towards other common grounds. The idea for this show arose out of debates over neoliberalism’s rhetoric of diversity and inclusion that does not transform the structures of institutions fundamentally premised upon exclusion. Through works that take many forms, including performance, painting, photography, print, sculpture and installation, artists in this exhibition explore what we see and how we feel, what we perceive as real and imaginary, and how memories are not just remembered but carried in our bodies. The works in this show dissolve the boundaries between waking and sleeping, seeing and feeling, and offer alternatives to static figurations of singular being and belonging. The exhibition features works by Kevin Bonilla, Babs Byrd, James Hsieh, Luma Jasim, Paulina Kim, Alexander Papakonstadinou, Alex Salerno and Scynge Yunxin Xing.

Lecture | Retrofitting the Theory of the Novel


A lecture by Priya Joshi, Professor of English, Temple University. Mainstream theories of the novel have relied on a relatively small corpus of texts written in Europe during a past moment, largely ignoring the transnational marketplace in which the novel circulates or the publishing ecosystem in which it thrives. From this narrow empirical base, claims about the “global” novel have emerged. The paper focuses on commercial publishing and the informal circuits of popular reading and book culture in contemporary India in an effort to retrofit the theory of the novel in fundamental ways. The story of the novel that emerges from this ignored archive is one that both reframes the narrative inherited from the European novel as well as corrects fundamental elements of novel theory that have largely neglected markets, readers, and circulation.

Workshop | The Space Between Things: A Conversation with Artist Waltercio Caldas


Brazilian artist Waltercio Caldas and the Venezuelan writer, curator and art historian Ariel Jiménez share their reflections. Waltercio Caldas occupies a key role in the generation that bridges the innovations of the Concrete and Neo-Concrete artists of the 1950s/60s and today’s contemporary artists. Often simple in composition, the art of Waltercio Caldas invites a host of complex questions about perception and space. The conversation between Jiménez, Caldas, and Pérez-Barreiro will cover more than five decades of artistic production of one of Brazil’s most recognized contemporary artists. One of the issues discussed will be the challenges involved in representing the visual arts through photography and the printed page.

In her work, she engages history, or better yet histories: the history of her country, Poland, in its transition away from Soviet occupation; the history of women, and women artists specifically; the history of fashion and style.

Opening Reception | Photography: Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques's Eden


French artist Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques purchased a little red school house in the town of Eden, North Carolina (population 15,527), which he used a site for an immersive exploration of the ideas of property, community, and image-making. The resultant output is eclectic, incorporating Polaroids, video, traditional photographic film, found objects, historical documents, and sculptural elements—the better to articulate and grapple with the often contradictory themes of utopia and home, the inevitable gaps between representation and reality, and the work of art as a means of re-enchantment.

Play | New Visions Directing Festival presents Vinegar Tom by Caryl Churchill


In a village in 17th century England, two women are threatened with death for the practice of witchcraft. What is a witch? And is it you? This haunting, subversive play-with-music examines gender, sexuality, and power through a feminist Brechtian lens. Vinegar Tom is a rock concert about hanging witches – with no witches.
