For alliances with the beaver people features an 11 meter-long embroidered tapestry that illustrates key moments in the history of beaver-human relationships, tracing how rivers evolve through collaborations between these two species. An explicit reference to the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry that depicted 58 unique scenes of battle, Husky’s work uses this tapestry form to visualize cross-species mutuality and regeneration rather than battle. The exhibition also features a documentary film about the Vermont naturalist Patti Smith, who takes us into her world of beaver friends and teachers. For the exhibition reception on February 12, Husky will be joined by a panel of researchers, writers, and naturalists (including Patti Smith) to discuss beaver ecologies and the future of their watersheds.In collaboration with Picker Art Gallery.

Kezia Page, Associate Professor of English and ALST, will share from her recently published book, Inside Tenement Time: Suss, Spirit, and Surveillance. The book looks at surveillance in Jamaica as it emerges through literary representations and cultural and political movements over a long historical arc from post-emancipation to independence and the postcolonial moment. It focuses on surveillance and the responses to surveillance, particularly in the stories of people who inhabit yards and tenements. In this talk, she will look at the famed Tivoli Gardens incursion (2010) both as catalyst and aftermath of surveillance and how denizens of Tivoli, specifically women, complicate top-down notions of surveillance.This event is part of the Center's brown bag series.Lunch will be provided. - 11:30 AM1h 30mInside Tenement Time: Suss, Spirit, and SurveillanceAcademics | Center for Women's Studies, The Lounge at East Hall

This talk examines Vassily Kandinsky’s turn to a more biomorphic mode of painterly abstraction in relation to the growing prevalence of micro- and macroscopic visual technologies in 1930s France. The notion of looking in or looking through, I argue, functioned metaphorically as a means for artists to navigate the ongoing socio-economic crisis and engage with a new mode of visuality—one deeply bound up with the contemporary tools and techniques made familiar through mass media. Rachel Boate, NEH Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History, Department of Arts. Refreshments will be provided. All are welcome. - 4:15 PM1h 45mBringing Popular Science into Focus: Vassily Kandinsky’s Biomorphic AbstractionAcademics | Lawrence Hall, The Robert Ho Lecture Room,105

Followed by a virtual Q&A with filmmakers, moderated by curator Devika GirishThe history of Indian experimental cinema is marginal, overshadowed by the dominance of commercial cinema, with even less space for women filmmakers. However, the past few years have seen a new wave of Indian experimental cinema, with women filmmakers emerging as some of its most compelling voices. This program will showcase a curated selection of their works, reflecting a contemporary South Asian feminist perspective while exploring the anti-narrative modes to relay anti-hegemonic positions, materiality of the medium, and the centrality of memory in storytelling.Co-sponsored by the Colgate Arts Council, the Office of Equity and Diversity, Asian Studies, and Core Communities - 6:30 PM1hAlternative Cinema: Women's Experimental Cinema from IndiaAcademics | Little Hall, 105 (Golden Auditorium)
