SUMMARY:The Tallest Dwarf—film screening and talk with Julie Wyman
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz affiliates are invited to a screening and discussion with filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman. The Tallest Dwarf charts the filmmaker’s quest to find her place within the little people (LP) community at a moment when dwarf identity is poised to radically change. Wyman’s work engages issues of embodiment\, body image\, and the possibilities and problematics of media spectatorship—all informed by her experience of living with hypochondroplasia dwarfism. Julie Wyman will be in conversation after the screening with Pooja Rangan (Professor of English and Film and Media Studies at Amherst College and Visiting Scholar of Visualizing Abolition) and Cynthia Ling Lee (Associate Professor of Performance\, Play & Design\, UC Santa Cruz). \nCo-organized/co-sponsored by the Arts Division’s Film & Digital Media Department\,  “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice“—a collaborative initiative of five UC campuses\, including Riverside\, Irvine\, Los Angeles\, Santa Cruz\, and San Francisco\, to addresses health disparities in institutions and policy—and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to UC Santa Cruz affiliates only\n– Attend in person at Communications Studio C\n—\nPARKING\n– Parking via UCSC permit or ParkMobile\n– Core West is the lot closest to the event\n—\nABOUT THE FILM\nAs Wyman unpacks the rumors of “partial dwarfism” in her family\, she finds that hers is the last of a body type she has inherited. She joins forces with a group of dwarf artists to confront the legacy of being fetishized and put on display. Together they create films that reclaim a complicated history and speak back to the echoes of eugenics in the newly emerging pharmaceutical interventions that make little people taller. Through its personal and expanding perspective\, the film invites audiences to a new way of seeing.\n—\nABOUT THE FILMMAKER\nJulie Forrest Wyman’s 2012 documentary STRONG! premiered at AFI Silverdocs and was broadcast nationally on PBS’s Emmy award-winning series\, Independent Lens\, where it won the series’ Audience Award. Wyman’s work has been awarded support from Sundance\, Sandbox\, IDA\, SF Film Society\, Points North\, ITVS\, the Creative Capital Foundation\, The Princess Grace Foundation\, California Humanities\, and NEH. She has been a fellow at the UC Davis Feminist Research Institute and a resident of SF Film Society’s Filmhouse\, Siena Art Institute\, Logan Nonfiction and Points North. Her films\, including FatMob (2016)\, Buoyant (2005)\, and A Boy Named Sue (2000)\, have aired on Showtime\, MTV’s LOGO-TV\, and have been exhibited on five continents. She serves as Associate Professor of Cinema and Digital Media at UC Davis.\n—\nDownload and share the event flyer here.\n—\nphotographer credit: Gabriella Garcia-Pardo; image description: A group of six LP (little people) performers regard their paper body cut outs on the wall. \n

SUMMARY:Harriet: Performing Anarchive
DESCRIPTION:Through motion capture\, immersive sound\, and real-time digital systems\, CHARI (Dr. Chari Smith) performs alongside Harriet\, a life-scale avatar carrying a living archive of Black sonic and vernacular memory. Drawing from Black archival traditions rooted in call-and-response\, improvisation\, and communal stewardship\, the performance understands memory as relational and alive. Together\, our movements shape the environment as the performance unfolds\, images shift\, sound expands\, and memory surfaces in fragments. \nPerforming Anarchive turns the stage into a threshold between body and code\, memory and possibility. It imagines a future where technology is not distant or extractive\, but intimate\, attentive\, and alive. \n\nRsvp and reserve a seat via Eventbrite \n\n\n\nParking: \nPerformance Arts Lot\nPermits Accepted: A\, N\, MC\, ADA\, Medical\, Reserved\,\nParkmobile: Zone 15158\n\n\nThis performance was made possible in part through grant funding from Investing in Artists: Artistic Innovation at The Center for Cultural Innovation\, the Arts Division\, and the Arts Research Institute.

SUMMARY:Flow and Friction: Media Practices Across Global Asias
DESCRIPTION:Though flow and friction have their enmeshed problematic of combined colonial and imperial mechanisms\, we also believe that they can be useful concepts to think through the transnational and deimperial techniques that Global Asias can offer. Global Asias offer an expansive model to consider the imaginary or symbolic Asia as a series of diasporic interpolations constituted by Asian\, non-Asian\, and indigenous peoples and cultures. It demonstrates that worlds are not singular\, much like media and its practices\, and are contingent upon the labor and bodies that engage and disengage with them. It is also the subject of concern for our research cluster and symposium.\nWe are thrilled to have Professor Lisa Nakamura join our symposium as the keynote speaker. She is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Cultures at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and her seminal work Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet received the Asian American Studies Association award in Cultural Studies in 2010. Her extensive research and publications on the intersections of digital media theory\, Asian American studies\, and race and gender demonstrates that media is both racial(ized) and racist.\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to Arts Division Staff & Faculty\, Arts Division Students\, and their Invited Guests\n—\nPARKING\n– Closest lots to the event are Lots 107\, 108\, 109 and 110. All lots require an A permit which can be purchased via UCSC TAPS.\n– ParkMobile can be found at Lot 107 and 109\n– Additional parking can be found in Lot 111 or Lot 111B or East Remote Lot 104.\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. \n
