SUMMARY:Tripoli: A Tale of Three Cities—reception\, screening\, and discussion with the filmmmaker
DESCRIPTION:While living abroad\, a filmmaker returns to Tripoli\, Lebanon\, to confront a hometown that once rejected him as a queer child. With a microphone in hand\, he walks around coffee shops\, public squares\, and a park to ask the city’s inhabitants about their cultural and social beliefs and their embrace of new ideas. Gradually\, he meets a group of marginalized individuals whose eccentric life choices contradict the general lifestyle in this religiously and socially conservative city. Through intimate conversations with a communist activist\, a queer music producer\, and other unconventional characters\, Tripoli: A Tale of Three Cities explores the complicated relations one forms with a hometown in crisis. This contemplative urban symphony paints a picture of a city trapped in a self-spun web\, paralyzed by a deep economic crisis\, a faltering revolution\, and a looming doomsday.\n \nUC Santa Cruz affiliates are invited to a screening of the film\, followed by a discussion between UCSC alum\, Raed Rafei\, and Professor of Film and Digital Media\, Peter Limbrick.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Attend in person at the Communications Studio C\n– FREE and open to UCSC affiliates\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n5:30 p.m.—Reception in Communications 139\n7:00 p.m.—Film Screening and Discussion in Studio C\n—\nPARKING\n– Parking by UCSC permit or ParkMobile.\n– Baskin Engineering Lot #139A and Core West are the closest parking lots to the Communications Building.\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– More information provided by UCSC Transportation & Parking Services (TAPS)\n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law.

SUMMARY:VMCC Talk with Jaleh Mansoor—Political Agency in The Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Jaleh Mansoor will draw upon recent Italian Marxist Feminist perspectives on ecology and discourses on the Anthropocene to question how Italian feminist analyses of invisible labor came to be elided with the question of a wider\, post anthropocentric ecological horizon. Jaleh Mansoor is a writer and an associate professor of Art History at the University of British Columbia\, Vancouver\, where she teaches modern and contemporary art history with an emphasis on Post WWII European Art. Her areas of interest\, in addition to art and its histories\, include Materialist Formalism and Marxist Feminism. Mansoor’s first monographic book\, Marshall Plan Modernism: Italian Postwar Abstraction and the Beginnings of Autonomia\, was published by Duke UP in 2016.  \nHer latest primary project\, titled after Picabia’s eponymous homage to a passage in Marx’s Philosophical and Economic Manuscripts of 1844\, is Universal Prostitution: A Counter History of Modernism\, published by Duke University Press in May 2025. It traces the historical and structural entwinement of aesthetic and real (or concrete) abstraction—defined as the extraction of labor power valorized by transactional exchange on the market—over 20th-century art to offer a comprehensive account of the political-economic forces that motivated modernist abstraction and the advent of post-humanism.\n \nABOUT THE SERIES\nThe Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC) is an annual lecture series that brings cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad range of subjects related to visual and media culture. The series is co-sponsored with the graduate programs in the History of Art & Visual Culture (HAVC) and the Arts Division.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Attend online.\n– Register here to receive the Zoom link.\n– FREE and open to the public.\n—\nThis program is open to the public  consistent with state and federal law. \n
