- Mon 27:00 PMDay With(out) Art Film Screening: Red Reminds Me...Academics | Olin Hall, Love Auditorium
Visual AIDS and University Museums present a program of seven videos reflecting the emotional spectrum of living with HIV today. Through the red ribbon and other visuals, HIV and AIDS has been long associated with the color red and its connotations—blood, pain, tragedy, and anger. Red Reminds Me… invites viewers to consider a complex range of images and feelings surrounding HIV, from eroticism and intimacy, mothering and kinship, luck and chance, memory and haunting. The commissioned artists deploy parody, melodrama, theater, irony, and horror to build a new vocabulary for representing HIV today. - Tue 39:30 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. - Tue 311:30 AMBiology seminar: Uncovering The Role of the Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and DiseaseAcademics | Lathrop Hall, 207
Uncovering The Role of the Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease, presented by Scott Amon, Assistant Professor, Le Moyne College.My lab works with a small nematode, C. elegans, model organism to study how environmentimpacts health and development. The environmental factors we focus on are diet and gut microbiota. We askseveral fundamental questions, such as what makes a gut microbiome ‘healthy’? What are good or bad microbes?Can microbiomes harm the intestine and the nervous system? We address these questions using interdisciplinaryapproaches at the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. Furthermore, my lab is alsointerested in using the human microbiome to identify factor(s) that reduce virulence of P. aeruginosa. P.aeruginosa including the lung, ventilator-associated pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, andcystic fibrosis. Together, my research is purposefully designed to shed some light on the function of the humanmicrobiota on health. - Tue 311:30 AMCenter for Women's Studies: Brown Bag with Amy GordonAcademics | Center for Women's Studies, The Lounge at East Hall

dir. Jonathan Glazer, 2023, 105 minBased loosely on the novel of the same name by the British author Martin Amis, The Zone of Interest represents the everyday lives of the Auschwitz concentration camp commandant Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel), his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hüller), and their five young children as they live a seemingly idyllic life in their meticulously maintained villa and grounds located directly alongside the walls of the camp’s gas chambers and crematoria where Jews, Roma, and other victims of the Nazis were brutally sent to their deaths. Directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Under the Skin), The Zone of Interest has been met with widespread praise, having not only won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Feature Film in 2024, but also receiving multiple accolades and attention regarding its use of sound design to help evoke the spaces of Auschwitz. It has also sparked intense public and scholarly debates concerning the connections between the Holocaust and our contemporary moment.Screening will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Colgate faculty Daniella Doron (Jewish Studies), Rachel Moss (Theater), and Noah Shenker (Jewish Studies & Film and Media Studies).Co-sponsored by Jewish Studies and University Studies - Fri 69:30 AMEntangled Intimacies: Tradition, Motion and MemoryAcademics | Alumni Hall, 2nd floor
