A lecture by Scott Seider and Daren Graves. DESCRIPTION:Schooling for Critical Consciousness addresses how schools can help Black and Latinx youth resist the negative effects of racial injustice and challenge its root causes. Scott Seider and Daren Graves draw on a four-year longitudinal study examining how five different mission-driven urban high schools foster critical consciousness among their students. The book presents vivid portraits of the schools as they implement various programs and practices\, and traces the impact of these approaches on the students themselves. \nGuests must register (anytime in advance) using this link in order to receive a Zoom invite: \nRegister on Zoom \nHosted by the Consortium for Excellence in Teacher Education\, Education Department\, SGA and the The Marshall Center.

Create. Curate. Care. DESCRIPTION:Pass the Mic! Create. Curate. Care.\nArtists\, curators\, scholars\, and art facilitators recognize that cultural initiatives must respond with more agility and alacrity to the realities of inequity\, in all of its forms. How those responses are effectively enacted is a more complex set of questions. This conference will focus on the political potentials of care and compassion as practiced in the arts. Participants will reflect on the differences between hearing and actively listening\, and between speaking with and speaking to\, in a variety of art-centered exchanges.\n\nHow can we amplify inclusive\, polyphonic narratives based on lived experiences\, instead of the perceived authority of academic or fine arts expertise? How might art workers conceive of their role as facilitation for collaborations and conversations about justice taking place outside cultural institutions? Over two online sessions\, we will explore creative\, curatorial and activist projects focused on toppling hierarchies\, empowering BIPOC voices\, reimagining history\, and centering the voices of historically marginalized authors and creators.  Hear more about cultural initiatives locally and internationally—making change now. \nInformation on conference program and participants. \nThis event is being presented virtually via Zoom. \nRegistration for Friday\, 10/22\nRegistration for Saturday\, 10/23\nPlease note: there are separate registration links for each day of the conference. \nThis event is sponsored by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program. \n  URL:https://wheatoncollege.edu/event/pass-the-mic-create-curate-care/2021-10-23/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Academic,Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatoncollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Pass-the-Mic_poster.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Arts at Wheaton":MAILTO:kuszaj_jessica@wheatoncollege.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211022T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211022T173000 DTSTAMP:20260406T231000 CREATED:20210902T204652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211020T013942Z UID:10004980-1634911200-1634923800@wheatoncollege.edu SUMMARY:Pass the Mic!

Presented virtually\, this exhibition includes artists whose work challenges and celebrates new media. As with past Biennials\, our definition is boundary-pushing and inclusive\, seeking a diverse range of experimental work\, collectively evoking an open-ended conversation. \nRegister Here. \nJessica Fuquay is a Colombian American interdisciplinary artist\, composer\, and DJ currently based in Pittsburgh\, PA. She makes videos\, performances\, and sound compositions that activate the embedded histories of specific sites and events through sustained observation\, listening\, and sometimes intervention. She is currently a second-year MFA Candidate at Carnegie Mellon School of Art in Pittsburgh\, PA and has participated in residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Madison\, ME and Project Row Houses in Houston\, TX. \nKara Güt‘s work investigates the new shape of human intimacy formed by internet lifestyle\, constructed detachment from reality\, and the power dynamics of the virtual. Using image and screen-based media\, she questions ownership of digital spaces and how they mirror or perpetuate oppressive systems. The resulting pieces are subversions of power: at times manifesting as imperfect relics attempting to perform a hidden and ineffable magic\, or long-form video essays haunting the devices they inhabit. Employing tropes of absurdist humor mixed with existential dread\, her work pokes at the underpinnings of internet culture by appropriating the subgenres of the post-digital patriarchal industrial complex. \njazsalyn (she/her)\, work begins where fiction and reality collide. As an anti-disciplinary artist\, she weaves together new media and activism as methodology to decolonize and re-indigenize the future of art\, design\, and social practices. \nAs the Creative Director of black beyond\, a radical platform for artists and activists to define alternate realities for Blackness\, jazsalyn collaborates with BIPOC and non-BIPOC co-liberators to reconstruct\, reclaim and reimagine Black (Indigineous) narratives. \nHer work has been featured in publications such as CULTURED Magazine\, Vogue.com\, The New Yorker\, and Huffington Post. Exhibitions and panels such as TEDx Durham and Textiles as a Second Skin at MoogFest. \n  URL:https://wheatoncollege.edu/event/2021-wheaton-biennial-artist-talk/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://wheatoncollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/biennial_jazsalyn.png ORGANIZER;CN="Arts at Wheaton":MAILTO:kuszaj_jessica@wheatoncollege.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210419 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210420 DTSTAMP:20260406T231000 CREATED:20210319T230909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210414T225911Z UID:10004192-1618790400-1618876799@wheatoncollege.edu SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition—2021 Wheaton Biennial_final_final_FINAL DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Wheaton Biennial is an open-call exhibition focused on new media and juried by author and curator\, Legacy Russell.
