This exhibition expands on the forthcoming issue of the artist-run journal Effects, organized around the motif of the hole. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. Through rips and shadows, enclosures and erasures, the included artworks address transience, destructive violence, and lost histories, while also evoking the nascent formation of as-yet-unknown patterns for meeting the problems of living — with ourselves, with one another, and with absence.Featuring work by Noel Anderson, Milano Chow, Mary Helena Clark, Clementine Keith-Roach, Lakshmi Luthra, Eric N. Mack, Nour Mobarak & Jeffrey Stuker, Christopher Page, Paul Pfeiffer, Adam Putnam, Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind, Paul Sietsema, and Patricia Treib.Opening reception Wednesday, September 24, following the 4:30pm Art Lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesMore information at https://www.cliffordgallery.org/holes/*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

The dropping of the atomic bomb by the United States on two Japanese cities remains, eighty years later, one--or two--of the most controversial events in human history. This talk will consider the decisions to build and use the bombs, the evolution of wartime doctrine that permitted the mass killing of civilians from the air, the role of the bombings in ending the Pacific War, and the legacy of the attacks.Presenter: Andrew Rotter is Charles A. Dana Professor of History Emeritus, at Colgate University. He has written on US policy toward Asia, including the book Hiroshima: The World's Bomb, published by Oxford University Press in 2008.

Join us for the Shirley Graham and W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture Series with Deborah Thomas, who will be discussing The Question of Bodily Sovereignty.What does the body know? What can bodies tell us about the forms of collective world-building that exist outside of but in relation to the juridical structures of sovereignty that govern modern Western political and social life? What might sovereignty look like, and feel like, if we approached it not primarily in terms of its foundational violences (conquest, imperialism, settler colonialism, capitalist extraction, and so on) but in relation to the forms of self-determination and autonomy people have attempted to create in the realm of everyday life? This discussion will explore these questions in order to claim that we are heir not only to colonial logics, but also to the means to refuse or retool them, and that both of these inheritances are inscribed in and on the body. Thinking through and with the space of kumina in Jamaica, and particularly through a kumina festival Thomas has co-organized for the past seven years and reflects on the ways community-based spaces of care, creativity, and spirituality can help us to think beyond linearity, to create channels for accountability, and to discern mobilizations of personhood and political life on post-but-still-colonial terrain. Thomas argues that being attuned to the body’s inheritances can provide inroads into genealogies of sovereignty alternative to those that are tethered to the foundational frames of property, accumulation, and dispossession.
