SUMMARY:Notes from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Witness the powerful stories of 19 individuals fighting to overcome and transform America’s education and criminal justice systems.\nTHIS STRIKINGLY INTIMATE PIECE presents snapshots from a variety of real people\, documenting their intersections with the American dream and the obstacles that work to block them from it. Utilizing verbatim dialogue pulled from more than 250 accounts from students\, faculty\, prisoners\, activists\, politicians\, and victims’ families\, Notes from the Field takes audiences on an emotional journey through the faults and injustices of an American criminal justice system that seems more focused on incarceration over education. Deeply human\, profoundly moving\, and full of moments of humor\, compassion\, and resilience\, it’s a masterful work that asks you to observe\, be present\, and join the call for urgent and necessary change. \nOriginally performed by creator Anna Deavere Smith as a one-woman show\, in TimeLine’s Chicago premiere\, three actors weave together narratives of change makers\, activists\, and those caught within the system for an evening of theatre unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

SUMMARY:SAI Screenings: 'Indus Blues' (2019) by Jawad Sharif
DESCRIPTION:South Asian filmmakers like Satyajit Ray\, Deepa Mehta\, Mrinal Sen\, Mira Nair\, and Ritwik Ghatak have made significant contributions to the development of cinema using the medium to tell authentic stories of South Asian communities and their relationship to various socio-political issues. However\, their contributions have always been overshadowed by the media hype surrounding Bollywood films. \nTo showcase the diversity of South Asian films\, South Asia Institute is launching “SAI Screening”\, a bi-monthly film screening series highlighting feature films and documentaries by South Asian filmmakers whose talents transcend cultures and boundaries. Their films are not only unique but also reflect different facets of South Asian culture and society. \nFor our first event\, we are screening “Indus Blues” (2019)\, an award-winning documentary directed and produced by Jawad Sharif. The film explores the dying folk and classical musical culture of Pakistan and the challenges faced by the musicians to sustain the craft. \nJoin us for the screening of this thought-provoking film\, followed by a discussion with the director. \nEvent Details \nTicket Price: $5 \nDate: Saturday\, February 10\, 2023 \nTime: 3:30 pm \nVenue: 1925 South Michigan Ave\, Chicago\, IL (South Asia Institute) \nAbout the film \nShot in over 15 locations across Pakistan\, Indus Blues is a musical feature documentary highlighting the plight of the folk musicians and craftsmen of Pakistan and the state of their dying art. \nThe diverse cultures around Indus\, with over 70 spoken languages\, have deep roots going back centuries. Despite the richness of the various cultures flourishing along the mighty Indus river\, their sounds have faded to the background in a world dominated by modern musical instruments. Filmmaker Jawad Sharif takes us on a journey spanning a thousand miles from the Karakoram Mountains to the southern coastline\, capturing the little-known ethnic\, linguistic\, and musical diversity and humanism of the cultures of the Indus. \nAbout the filmmaker \nJawad Sharif is an award-winning filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer based in Pakistan. Exploring the themes of social change and human rights\, his projects focus on reviving the suppressed cultural and indigenous identities of Pakistan. In the past 15 years\, Jawad has pushed the boundaries of visual storytelling by documenting stories about the rights of folk musicians\, high-altitude porters\, climate migrants\, and marginalized communities.
