War, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937–1948: The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese WoodcutsThis exhibition, an in-depth examination of the modern woodcut movement in the decades leading up to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, will be the first time that one of Picker Art Gallery’s most singular and important collections will be shown in its entirety.The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese Woodcuts contains over 200 works made in China between 1937 and 1948. They were given to The Picker Art Gallery by Professor Emeritus Theodore Herman, who lived in the country during this period, and his wife, Evelyn Mary Chen Shiying Herman. Professor Herman taught at Colgate from 1954 to 1981 in the Geography Department and was the founding director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the exhibition of the Herman collection is an extraordinary resource for the study of Chinese art and of pre-Liberation history. The prints in the exhibition can be seen as direct links to the historical events taking place in China in the years leading up to Liberation. Images made between 1937 and 1945 in areas controlled by the Chinese Nationalist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War chronicle the progress of the war and promoted good relations between the army and the people; others, produced in the areas controlled by the Communist Red Army, encourage resistance against the Japanese but also illustrate how Chinese society could be transformed through socialism; those prints produced during the Civil War expose many injustices amid the post-war social and political upheavals. Finally, many of the images in the exhibition explore wide-ranging subjects and a variety of techniques that offer glimpses into quotidian Chinese life during this period.This exhibition is curated by Leslie Ann Eliet. - Tue 110:30 AMAllan Hacklin - Then to Now: 30 Years of RoamingAcademics | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)

Kaffee und Kuchen, Conversation and Community, sponsored by the Dept. of German - Wed 24:30 PMArt Department Lecture: Mary Ann Calo: Opportunity and AccessAcademics | Little Hall, 105 (Golden Auditorium)
Opportunity and Access: African American Artists and the Federal Art Project The New Deal art projects were created to provide financial relief to artists in the form of employment during the Depression. Eligible artists were paid by the federal government to utilize their expertise, often in the public sphere. This represents an unprecedented moment in American cultural history. By design the Federal Art Project (FAP) was “race blind;” many Black artists hoped these programs would redress their chronic disadvantages and professional isolation. But historians struggle to reconcile optimism about expanded opportunity and non-discrimination with the fact of low participation numbers. The structure and requirements of the FAP ultimately shaped choices open to Black artists, many of whom were assigned to educational projects established to serve racially segregated populations. These community art centers combined technical instruction and art appreciation with a social service mentality. Although FAP administrators sought to address the needs of the Black artistic community, they were unwilling to challenge existing norms or address the consequences of institutional discrimination. The revolutionary vision of the New Deal art projects, and their legacy with respect to African American artists, must thus be understood in the context of access to opportunity mediated by the realities of segregation and systemic racism.Mary Ann Calo is Batza Professor of Art and Art History, Emerita, at Colgate University. During her 25 years at Colgate, Professor Calo taught courses on modern and contemporary art history, the arts and public policy, and the art of the United States. She also served as Chair of the Art and Art History Department, Associate Dean of the Faculty, and Director of the Division of Arts and Humanities. Calo is the author of three books and numerous articles. Her most recent book, African American Artists and the New Deal Art Programs (2023), focuses on the experiences of Black artists on the federally funded art initiatives of the 1930s. - Thu 3All dayWatch PartyAcademics | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio

dir. Vivek Bald and Alaudin Ullah, 2022, 84 min, with Alaudin Ullah in personAs a teenager in 1980s Harlem, Alaudin Ullah was swept up in the revolutionary energy of early hip-hop. He rejected his working-class Bangladeshi parents and turned his back on everything South Asian and Muslim. Now, as an actor and playwright in post-9/11 America, Alaudin wants to tell his parents’ stories, but has no idea of the lives they led as Muslim immigrants of an earlier era. In Search of Bengali Harlem follows Ullah from the streets of New York City to the villages of Bangladesh to uncover the pasts of his father, Habib, and mother, Mohima. Alaudin discovers that Habib was part of a rich lost history of mid-20th century Harlem, in which Bengali Muslim men, dodging racist Asian Exclusion laws, married into New York’s African American and Puerto Rican communities – and in which the likes of Malcolm X and Miles Davis shared space and broke bread with immigrants from the subcontinent. He also unearths the hardships and trauma that his mother overcame to become one of the first women to immigrate to the U.S. from rural Bangladesh. In Search of Bengali Harlem is a transformative journey, not just for Alaudin Ullah, but for our understanding of the complex histories of South Asians and Muslims in the United States.Co-sponsored by Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, the Department of History, the Office of Equity and Diversity, Asian Studies, Africana and Latin American Studies, Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, the Department of Geography, and University Studies - Fri 4All dayWatch PartyAcademics | Bernstein Hall, Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio

On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse transited across central New York - its path of totality falling only a few miles from Colgate's campus. Spectating this astronomical phenomenon became a mass social event: nearly a million people flocked to the region.Watch Party, an immersive multi-channel video installation, recreates this event, capturing the scene on the ground rather than the skies.Co-sponsored by Alternative Cinema and Film and Media Studies - Sun 611:30 AMEntangled Intimacies: Tradition, Motion and MemoryAcademics | Alumni Hall, 2nd floor

War, Revolution, and the Heart of China, 1937–1948: The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese WoodcutsThis exhibition, an in-depth examination of the modern woodcut movement in the decades leading up to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, will be the first time that one of Picker Art Gallery’s most singular and important collections will be shown in its entirety.The Herman Collection of Modern Chinese Woodcuts contains over 200 works made in China between 1937 and 1948. They were given to The Picker Art Gallery by Professor Emeritus Theodore Herman, who lived in the country during this period, and his wife, Evelyn Mary Chen Shiying Herman. Professor Herman taught at Colgate from 1954 to 1981 in the Geography Department and was the founding director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program.Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the exhibition of the Herman collection is an extraordinary resource for the study of Chinese art and of pre-Liberation history. The prints in the exhibition can be seen as direct links to the historical events taking place in China in the years leading up to Liberation. Images made between 1937 and 1945 in areas controlled by the Chinese Nationalist forces during the Second Sino-Japanese War chronicle the progress of the war and promoted good relations between the army and the people; others, produced in the areas controlled by the Communist Red Army, encourage resistance against the Japanese but also illustrate how Chinese society could be transformed through socialism; those prints produced during the Civil War expose many injustices amid the post-war social and political upheavals. Finally, many of the images in the exhibition explore wide-ranging subjects and a variety of techniques that offer glimpses into quotidian Chinese life during this period.This exhibition is curated by Leslie Ann Eliet. - Sun 61:00 PMAllan Hacklin - Then to Now: 30 Years of RoamingAcademics | Little Hall, Clifford Gallery (101 Little Hall)
