SUMMARY:The Forbidden Room-Guy Maddin
DESCRIPTION:“We talk about movies being dreamlike\, but this is ridiculous. The Forbidden Room is often maddening\, occasionally beautiful\, and ultimately unforgettable\,” says Bilge Ebiri of Vulture Magazine. \nJoin us for a screening of THE FORBIDDEN ROOM\, Guy Maddin’s ultimate epic phantasmagoria. Honoring classic cinema while electrocuting it with energy\, this Russian nesting doll of a film begins (after a prologue on how to take a bath) with the crew of a doomed submarine chewing flapjacks in a desperate attempt to breathe the oxygen within. Suddenly\, impossibly\, a lost woodsman wanders into their company and tells his tale of escaping from a fearsome clan of cave dwellers. From here\, Maddin and co-director Evan Johnson take us high into the air\, around the world\, and into dreamscapes\, spinning tales of amnesia\, captivity\, deception and murder\, skeleton women and vampire bananas. Playing like some glorious meeting between Italo Calvino\, Sergei Eisenstein and a perverted six year-old child\, THE FORBIDDEN ROOM is Maddin’s grand ode to lost cinema. Created with the help of master poet John Ashbery\, the film features Mathieu Amalric\, Udo Kier\, Charlotte Rampling\, Geraldine Chaplin\, Roy Dupuis\, Clara Furey\, Louis Negin\, Maria de Medeiros\, Jacques Nolot\, Adele Haenel\, Amira Casar and Elina Lowensohn as a cavalcade of misfits\, thieves and lovers\, all joined in the joyful delirium of the kaleidoscopic viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans: Peril and Promise (1980-2000)
DESCRIPTION:In the 80s the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to United States – the Mariel exodus – floods Miami . The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home like activist\, Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration – has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture-as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating cross over hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation’s Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times? Latinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America’s largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls\, The Hispanic Moment.Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century; however their failure\, contributing to an underclass\, could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans:The New Latinos (1946-1965)
DESCRIPTION:Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. A young Juanita Sanabria arrives in New York\, works hard in the garment district\, but encounters hostility and discrimination. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness. \nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami. A child of 11 at the time\, Gustavo Perez Firmat believes like most refugees\, that it is only a matter of weeks before the American government will wrest Cuba from the Communist regime. But Castro survives. Maria de los Angeles Torres is only six years old when she leaves Havana without her parents\, one of 14\,000 children are smuggled out through an underground network. Unable to leave legally\, Manuel Capo and his two military age sons – make a dramatic journey to the US. With skills honed in the family furniture business in Cuba and support from the federal government\, the Capos build thriving business marketing to the growing Cuban population. \nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights. Julia Alvarez would take the immigrant experience – her own and that of her fellow Dominicans – to unprecedented literary heights in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. In her work\, she explores the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos\, who are now demanding their place in America. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Julianna Barwick and Mas Ysa
DESCRIPTION:May 6th sees the release of Will\, the revelatory third full-length album by Brooklyn experimental artist Julianna Barwick. Conceived and self-produced over the past year in a variety of locations\, the ominous\, compelling Will is a departure from 2013’s Alex Somers-produced Nepenthe. If that last record conjured images of gentle\, thick fog rolling over desolate mountains\, then Will is a late afternoon thunderstorm\, a cathartic collision of sharp and soft textures that sounds looming and restorative all at once.\n\n\n\nClick here to purchase tickets.\n\n\nBarwick’s life over the past several years has largely been lived in transit\, and as such the genesis of Will was not beholden to location; Barwick worked on the album in a variety of locales\, from a desolate house in upstate New York to the Moog Factory in Asheville\, North Carolina to Lisbon\, Portugal.  \n“I love touring\, but it can be a wild ride\,” Barwick reflects on this cycle of constant motion. “You’re constantly adjusting\, assimilating\, and finding yourself in life-changing situations.” Those experiences played into and helped shape Will’s charged\, unstable atmosphere: “I knew I’d be playing these songs live\, so I wanted some movement\,” she explains. “Something that had rhythm and low-end.” \nThat sense of forward propulsion is largely owed to Will’s synth-heavy textures. The electric current that runs through the album takes on various shapes of intoxicating instability. Featuring contributions from Thomas Arsenault (Mas Ysa)\, Dutch cellist Maarten Vos and percussionist\, Jamie Ingalls (Chairlift\, Tanlines\, Beverly)\, Will is largely a product of ups and downs\, a reflection of a life lived somewhere in between transience and standing still. “While making this record\, there were moments of isolation and dark currents\,” Barwick admits. “I like exploring that\, and I love when I come across songs that sound scary or ominous. I’ve always been curious about what goes into making a song that way.” The beguiling\, beautifully complicated Will is the result of that curiosity\, and proof of Barwick’s irresistibly engaging talent as a composer and vocalist. \nWill comes off of Barwick’s busiest period in her career\, following the release of Nepenthe—a spate of activity that included playing piano for Yoko Ono\, performing at Carnegie Hall at the annual Tibet House concert with the Flaming Lips and Philip Glass\, The Rosabi EP and beer created in conjunction with brewing company Dogfish Head\, and a re-imagining of Bach’s “Adagio” from Concerto In D Minor. \nWatch the Derrick Belcham-directed video for debut single\, “Nebula” which was filmed in the Philip Johnson Glass House and presents the essence of Will and Julianna Barwick’s richly complex musical fabric. \nJulianna Barwick’s music has been reviewed in Time Out New York\, Time Out Lisbon\, The New York Times\, and The Village Voice\, among other publications. Her music has also been featured as “Best New Music” on Pitchfork\, which also gave\, 2009’s “Florine” EP an honorable mention for an album of the year.  \nMas Ysa \n“Thomas Arsenault\, the person who records as Mas Ysa\, is difficult to pin down\, and that’s probably the best thing about him. He’s lived in Montreal and San Francisco and Sao Paolo and New York and wherever Oberlin is. He’s scored modern dance productions and remixed synthpop groups. He sometimes sings in an angelic\, reverby tenor and sometimes in a full\, throat-wracked howl. He makes mostly electronic records\, and he does it by itself\, but “producer” somehow doesn’t seem like the right job title for him. (I’ve also seen people describe him as a “composer\,” and that seems even more wrong.) Listening to his records\, it’s hard to tell which sounds are electronic and which are made by actual physical instruments. His music drifts freely between ambient and synthpop and oblique dance and good old-fashioned indie rock. And he’s conclusively proven that you don’t need a full band to sound vaguely like Arcade Fire. \nMas Ysa made his name on last year’s Worth EP\, which alternated between drifting\, pretty synth-drone and big\, chest-thumping psychedelic laptop-rock howlers. On Seraph\, his first proper album\, Arsenault pretty much smushes those two things together until they’re one thing\, and the result is a pleasant drift that never settles on one genre for more than a few seconds and stays appealing and interesting throughout. All the individual sounds\, like the glassy walls of keyboard on “Sick” or the happy-sigh New Order beeps of “Look Up\,” have an impressive widescreen gloss to them. Arsenault’s voice has that quavery tone that was so popular among mid-’00s indie-dude singers\, in which every word means so much that he just can’t choke it out without his throat catching. Some tracks play around with Euro-club house-thumps\, which sounds shockingly good with this sort of singing and this sort of production. Nicole Miglis from Hundred Waters shows up on “Gun\,” and her airy coo works as an absolutely lovely complement to Arsenault’s emotive gurgle. “Service” has some seriously badass Moroder-style Italo pulsing. There’s a lot to like here. \nAnd maybe\, for you\, there will be a lot to love. Arsenault’s closest peer might be Youth Lagoon’s Trevor Powers\, another indie auteur who pulls inspiration from wherever and whose songs seem to project meaning\, even if you don’t necessarily know what that meaning is. Youth Lagoon has never really gotten past the “pleasant background music” stage for me\, but that dude’s music means a lot to a lot of people. I suspect that the same will be true here. And even if you don’t end up loving this thing\, it’s still an impressive piece of work\, one that you should hear — if you can carve out the time. After all\, there is a truly unprecedented amount of great music out there. If something is merely good\, you can be forgiven for skipping it.”–Tom Breihan of Sterogum \nThis concert is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. About The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in 1987.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-The New Latinos (1946-1965)
DESCRIPTION:Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. A young Juanita Sanabria arrives in New York\, works hard in the garment district\, but encounters hostility and discrimination. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness. \nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami. A child of 11 at the time\, Gustavo Perez Firmat believes like most refugees\, that it is only a matter of weeks before the American government will wrest Cuba from the Communist regime. But Castro survives. Maria de los Angeles Torres is only six years old when she leaves Havana without her parents\, one of 14\,000 children are smuggled out through an underground network. Unable to leave legally\, Manuel Capo and his two military age sons – make a dramatic journey to the US. With skills honed in the family furniture business in Cuba and support from the federal government\, the Capos build thriving business marketing to the growing Cuban population. \nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights. Julia Alvarez would take the immigrant experience – her own and that of her fellow Dominicans – to unprecedented literary heights in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. In her work\, she explores the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos\, who are now demanding their place in America. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-War and Peace (1942-1954)
DESCRIPTION:World War II is a watershed event for Latino Americans with hundreds of thousands of men and women serving in the armed forces\, most fighting side by side with Anglos. In the Pacific\, East L.A.’s Guy Gabaldon becomes a Marine Corp legend when he singlehandedly captures more enemy soldiers than anyone in US military history. But on the home front\, discrimination is not dead: in 1943\, Anglo servicemen battle hip young “Zoot suitors” in racially charged riots in southern California. \nAfter the war\, Macario Garcia becomes the first Mexican National to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for his exploits fighting in Europe\, only to be refused service in a Texas diner. The experience during the war pushes Latinos to fight for civil rights back home. A doctor from South Texas\, Hector Garcia\, organizes the American GI Forum\, transforming himself into a tireless advocate for civil rights and the friend of a future president. Although Latinos make significant gains\, the journey for equality is far from over. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-Empire of Dreams (1880-1942)
DESCRIPTION:Widespread immigration to the U.S. from Latin countries begins – first with a small group from Cuba\, then a larger one from Mexico. Both flee chaos and violence in their home country and are attracted by opportunities in the United States. In 1898\, the U.S. helps liberate Cuba and Puerto Rico from Spain but then seizes Puerto Rico as its colony. The first Puerto Rican arrivals (now U.S. citizens) establish a network in New York. \nJuan Salvador Villaseñor whose story is told by his son\, Victor\, flees the violence of the Mexican revolution of 1910\, along with his mother and two sisters. We follow Juan Salvador’s story; first through a grueling journey and poverty\, then as a bootlegger\, and finally as a successful businessman along with his wife and children in the United States. \nDuring the 1920s\, immigration is encouraged with the expanding U.S. economy. Mexicans and Mexican Americans build a thriving community in Los Angeles and look forward to a bright future. But when the economic boom of that 1920s ends with the catastrophic Depression of the thirties\, the pendulum swings. Immigrants encouraged to immigrate in the 20s are deported en masse in the 30s. Emilia Castaneda loses her home and her family when she and her father and brother are deported to Mexico\, despite the fact that Emilia and her brother are U.S. citizens. Puerto Ricans\, also caught in the depths of the Depression\, rebel against U.S. rule on the Island\, and eventually gain Commonwealth status from the U.S. Government. \n\nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-Foreigners in their Own Land (1565-1880)
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years after Columbus’ arrival in the Caribbean\, Spanish Conquistadors and Priests\, push into North America in search of gold and to spread Catholicism. With the arrival of the British in North America\, the two colonial systems produce contrasting societies that come in conflict as Manifest Destiny pushes the U.S into the Mexican territories of the South West. \nApolinaria Lorenzana provides a window to the Spanish Mission System while Mariano Vallejo personifies the era of the Californio rancheros an elite class who thrive after Mexico gains its independence from Spain. Juan Seguín\, a third generation Tejano or Texan\, is caught between two worlds; his commitment to an Independent Texas and his identity as a Mexican. Through the Mexican American War\, the U.S. takes a full half of Mexico’s territory by 1848. Over seventy thousand Mexicans are caught in a strange land and many become American citizens. \nAs the Gold Rush floods California with settlers\, complex and vital communities are overwhelmed. The elites\, including Mariano Vallejo and Apolinaria Lorenzana lose their land. Mexicans and Mexican Americans are treated as second-class citizens\, facing discrimination and racial violence. Resistance to this injustice appears in New Mexico as Las Gorras Blancas (The White Caps)\, burn Anglo ranches and cut through barbed wire to prevent Anglo encroachment. At the same time\, New Mexicans manage to transform themselves through education\, managing to preserve Hispano culture in New Mexico and their standing in the midst of an era of conquest and dispossession. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.
