Today's Events | Dana Arts Center, Picker Art Gallery, 2nd Floor
Hundreds of bills targeting trans* individuals are currently making their way through state legislative bodies. These range from bathroom bans to expulsion from sports teams to the denial of healthcare. Amid the increasingly hostile rhetoric and attempts to erase trans* and queer lives, the artists in this exhibition use a variety of media to tell powerful counternarratives about perseverance, vulnerability, and kinship among trans* and queer communities.The exhibition opens with a new live performance connecting art and athletics by Nicki Duval (they/them) and Robbie Trocchia (he/they), featuring figure skater Milk. Films exploring themes of transgender identity, visibility, bodies, and politics by multidisciplinary artist Cassils (he/they) are joined by an installation of exquisite cut-paper portraits by Antonius-Tín Bui (they/them). The works by these leading contemporary artists are complemented by a selection from the Picker collection that underlines the past, present, and future existence and vitality of trans* and queer artists.

Today's Events | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
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 will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, following the art lecture.Curated by Lakshmi Luthra, Associate Professor of Art and Film & Media StudiesLearn more about the exhibition*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

Today's Events | Center for Women's Studies
Join the Center for Women's Studies in welcoming Dr. Stephanie Allen to campus. Dr. Allen's talk, “Writin’ is Fightin’: Black Lesbian Literary Legacies,” is drawn from an excerpt of her book project, We Must Document Ourselves Now: Black Lesbian Cultural Legacies and the Politics of Self-Representation. Here, she argues that Black lesbian literature, film, and other visual media reflects the material realities of Black lesbian lived experiences and responds to and resists the heteropatriarchal systems that contribute to the invisibility of Black lesbians in popular and literary culture. She also contends that while Black feminist care work may take a variety of forms, this project insists that Black feminist creative practice is an integral form of self and community care. That is, Black lesbian creative and cultural work creates space for Black lesbians to explore their shared and discrete experiences through their creation of and engagement with others around said work.Stephanie Andrea Allen, Ph.D. is an interdisciplinary humanities scholar, creative writer, small press publisher, and assistant professor of gender studies at Indiana University. Her scholarly writing can be found in Women, Gender, and Families of Color, Archeion: Journal of Queer Archives, Feminists Talk Whiteness, Sinister Wisdom, and in other academic spaces. Dr. Allen is also publisher and editor-in-chief at BLF Press. Her creative work can be found in various online and print publications, including The Black Femme Collective, Mom Egg Review, Star*Line, Big Echo: Critical Science Fiction Magazine, Sinister Wisdom, and in her two short story collections, A Failure to Communicate and How to Dispatch a Human: Stories and Suggestions.

The historical development of human civilization is often categorized in terms of materials that shaped that era - Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. Currently, we live in the Silicon Age where the progress of human civilization rests on our ability to process silicon, an element abundant in sand and stones, to produce hi-tech computers and devices. We will discuss the rise of silicon and the events that led to the electronic world that we live in today, as well as the geopolitical events unfolding around us as countries tussle to ensure their future security through ownership over materials and technology that tame silicon.Presenter: Ramesh Adhikari is an assistant professor of Physics and Astronomy at Colgate University. His research focuses on developing bio-based electronic materials for their application in electronics.
