SUMMARY:Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
DESCRIPTION:The fourth edition of Sharjah Art Foundation’s Perform Sharjah programme of performances opens with Muhanad Kareem’s adaptation of the 2009 novel by Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk. \nIn a remote village\, surrounded by a dense forest full of wild animals\, a series of mysterious murders begins to claim the lives of hunters. As the killings escalate\, the quiet tension builds into a confrontation between humanity and nature … \nPerforming on a minimal yet striking set\, the actors draw the audience into a world suspended between illusion and reality. Through its narrative\, the play deliberates on the pervasive violence that shapes our world\, and its impact on both current and future generations. \nThe performance is in Arabic and will be preceded by an opening reception.

SUMMARY:Toni Morrison Felowship Inauguration
DESCRIPTION:Toni Morrison’s novels have reshaped American literature\, exploring themes of identity\, the human experience\, and cultural understanding with remarkable depth. The Africa Institute is inaugurating its Toni Morrison Senior Fellowship in African Diaspora Literature and Cultural Studies with a two-day symposium celebrating her life and legacy through film screenings and discussions. \nThe Fellowship is aimed at supporting established scholars and independent thinkers who have made significant contributions to African and African Diaspora literature and cultural studies. The first recipient is Philathia Bolton\, Associate Professor of English at the University of Akron\, Ohio.\, and she’ll be participating in the discussions. \nThe full programme is here. It includes two feature-length films: The Foreigner’s Home (dir Rian Brown and Geoff Pingree\, 2018) shows on 28 February and explores Toni Morrison’s artistic and intellectual vision through her 2006 exhibition at the Louvre to illuminate her insights on race\, identity\, and the transformative power of art. Day two has Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (dir Timothy Greenfield-Sanders\, 2019)\, an intimate exploration of Morrison’s life and work that features interviews with figures like Hilton Als\, Angela Davis\, and Oprah Winfrey. Screenings are followed by panel discussions. \n

SUMMARY:Colorful Threads: The Interwoven Worlds of Art and Culture in the Western Indian Ocean
DESCRIPTION:The third symposium in the Africa Institute’s four-part Colorful Threads season – co-organized by Prita Meier\, Associate Professor of Art History at NYU\, and Laura Fair\, Professor of African History at Columbia University – considers the momentous cultural interactions and microeconomies of exchange among the Eastern African coastline and the islands of the western Indian Ocean; we have come to understand that these places were also important sites for creativity and imagination. \nFrom the rich artistic traditions of music\, photography\, theatre\, dance\, ritual life\, and spirit possession performances (to mention only a few examples)\, this symposium aims to decipher the fine print of an intricately interwoven oceanic tapestry. The focus on aesthetic sensibilities and cultural logic will necessarily engage questions of power\, representation\, production\, consumption\, and “the systems of signification emerging from a panoply of cultural forms and consciousnesses”. \nThis forum will bring scholars from various academic disciplines and geographical locations to ponder both symbolic and cultural capital. The full programme is here. \nIt’s free and open to the public (pre-registration is required). It will also be livestreamed. \n  \n  \n
