SUMMARY:Mama Gloria: In Her Honor
DESCRIPTION:A film screening and community gathering in honor of the late Mama Gloria Allen. \n\n\n\n\n\nLuchina Fisher will screen her film Mama Gloria\, in addition to honoring the life and impact of Gloria Allen\, a Black transgender icon and activist who dedicated her life to Chicago’s trans community. \nMama Gloria (2020) by Luchina Fisher. 1h 16m \nChicago’s Black transgender icon Gloria Allen (1945 – 2022) blazed a trail for trans people like few others before her. Emerging from Chicago’s South Side drag ball culture in the 1960s\, Gloria overcame traumatic violence to become a proud leader in her community. Most famously\, she pioneered a charm school for young transgender people that served as inspiration for the hit play Charm. Luchina Fisher’s empathic and engaging documentary is not only a portrait of a groundbreaking legend\, but also a celebration of unconditional love\, the love Gloria received from her own mother and that she gave to her chosen children.

SUMMARY:Amin Gulgee Performance: “Kiss of the Spider Woman”
DESCRIPTION:The South Asia Institute will host Amin Gulgee Performance “Kiss of the Spider Woman”.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis will be a collaborative performance work with 13-17 participants which will take place over a period of 77 minutes. The approach will be cross-disciplinary as Gulgee will engage actors\, dancers\, visual artists and musicians to work with him. This will be an experiential event and the audience will navigate through the space as the performances simultaneously occur around them. All the senses will be engaged in this journey of touch\, sight\, hearing\, smell and taste. Through these senses information is sent to the brain to help us understand the world around us. Installations and projections will be employed emotively. This will be an act of collective dreaming. As Yoko Ono famously said: “A dream you dream alone is only a dream; a dream you dream together is a reality.”
