Latino Art Now! Re-imaging Global Intersections
Sponsored by:
The University of Illinois at Chicago & the Chicago Cultural Center
Thursday, April 7-9, 2016
The Fifth Latino Art Now!Conference in Chicago will examine the contemporary shifting contours of US Latino art and the (trans) national and global cultural forces that continuously shape it and how it in turn shapes these forces. At mid-decade we are witnessing growth of the field in American Art History as well as in Latino visual culture. Renewed visibility for artists in a wave of major exhibitions at national museums and galleries, the expansion of curatorial and academic infrastructure, and new publication and research initiatives tend to signal wider and expanding opportunities. Can we at the present moment map Latino art activity within a larger transnational, hemispheric and global context and discourse? Can we re-image a more global American art? How have Latino artists entered transnational and global art networks? Taking cities as critical spaces of globalization, what can we say of urban interventions as sites of artivism? What are the future directions? In other words, what is Latino Art Now?

Collecting & Curating Cuba: Memory, Museums and Material Cultures
An overview of Mr. Rubio's research on Cuban material culture, which examines a wide-range of artifacts, from cultural commodities to the museum archive.
Site: University of California
Date & Time:
Thursday, July 10, 2014 at 4:00 pm
Book Launch:
Handbook on Cuban History, Literature, and the Arts
Rafael Rojas - Princeton University Global Scholar
Ana Maria Hernández - LaGuardia Community College
Raúl Rubio - John Jay College, CUNY
Mauricio Font - Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies
Araceli Tinajero - The City College of New York and Graduate Center
This handbook explores key themes in the current debate about Cuba’s contemporary cultural and historical dynamics. Leading academics from Cuba, the United States, and Europe bring to light significant revisions of the artistic and literary canon and the historical archive, and they reconsider often neglected subjects and dynamics in historiography as well as contemporary affairs. The book includes new studies on contentious mobilization, leftist activism, and youth organizations in the pre-revolutionary republic. Current analyses include the relation between the Cuban state and intellectuals; institutional legitimation processes; the formation and reconstruction of national identity discourses; and new framings of gender, race, and sexual orientation. The book illuminates the growing salience of social issues and changes in music, literature, cinema, and theater, thus fostering a fuller understanding of historical and current social dynamics of a Cuba in transformation today.

Tenth Biennial MESEA Conference
The Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas
Cultural Palimpsests: Ethnic Watermarks, Surfacing Histories
June 22-24, 2016
University of Warsaw, Poland
The 2016 MESEA conference in Warsaw will focus on ethnic and minority discourses that have undergone erasure, yet keep resurfacing, on cultural traces left by groups long gone that have been forgotten and silenced, as well as on cultural inscriptions left by those who have become visible and audible more recently. Yet, in addition to engaging with the archaeological hermeneutics of recovering submerged layers of ethnic meaning, we also invite scholars to engage in the perhaps more radical act of what Sara Dillon has called a “palimpsestuous” reading: a reading that attends to the ways in which multiple inscriptions and competing narratives are intertwined and produce complex meanings.

Snippets of the lives of 10 ordinary Habaneros in one day during the Special Period,
Suite Habana (2003), directed by Fernando Pérez, offers a rich framework for interpretation and analysis. At the same time, the film is a work of art - a visual symphony. NYT critic Neil Genzlinger describes it as "an elusive but intermittently
beautiful tone poem on film." Hear how two CUNY faculty members - an economist and a literature professor interpret the film.

Collecting and Curating Cuban: Memory, Museums and Material Cultures
Speakers:
Raúl Rubio - Associate Professor of Languages and Literature at John Jay College of the City University of New York.
Christian Larsen - Curator at the Wolfsonian-Florida International University, focusing on 19th and 20th-century Latin American material.
Synopsis:
Collecting and curating are practices not only reserved for museums and cultural institutions. Individuals tend to curate their own lives, careers, work and creative spaces, in order to fashion their identity. Material ‘things’ are often appropriated—collected—in order to substantiate identity, not only for oneself but also for others. This Co-Lecture presented by Professor Raúl Rubio, John Jay College, City University of New York, and Christian Larsen, Curator at the Wolfsonian-FIU will parlay both the theory and praxis of a wide-range of topics concerning Cuban material cultures, collecting and curating Cuban things.
