SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Nostalgia for My Island
DESCRIPTION:Nostalgia for My Island: Puerto Rican Paintings from the Museo de Arte de Ponce. \nThe National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture is excited to partner with the world-renowned fine arts museum\, The Museo de Arte de Ponce (El Museo)\, to present a unique exhibit of Puerto Rican paintings on the U.S. mainland. This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition\, entitled “Nostalgia for My Island: Painting from the Museo de Arte de Ponce 1786-1809.” The curated collection of twenty paintings includes original works by prominent Puerto Rican artists Jose Campeche (1751-1809) and Francisco Oller (1833-1917). The paintings in this exhibit have never before traveled outside Puerto Rico. \nJose Campeche\, the son of a slave\, is described by the Smithsonian Museum of American Art as “the most significant Puerto Rican painter of portraits and religious imagery.” Francisco Oller has been called “a Realist-Impressionist” and is considered the only Latin American painter to play a role in the development of Impressionism. In the early 1980s\, El Museo located and restored many of his works\, which had deteriorated in the tropical climate. The exhibit will coincide with the five-year commemoration of Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico and The Museo de Arte de Ponce on September 20\, 2017. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:1922: The Smyrna Catastrophe in Context
DESCRIPTION:This 60-minute online lecture will explore the 1922 Smyrna Catastrophe within the context of the tumultuous year of 1922. \n1922 was one of the most eventful and significant years not just of the 20th century\, but of human history. Therefore\, it is impossible to completely understand the Smyrna Catastrophe without understanding the events at Smyrna within the wider context of that tumultuous year. This special NHM Discussion on the 100th anniversary of the Smyrna Catastrophe will explore the events at Smyrna as part of the year 1922. In this discussion\, we will explore questions of nationalism\, geo-politics\, identity\, and power that still effect us today.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: “CHIM: BETWEEN DEVASTATION AND RESURRECTION”
DESCRIPTION:September 22\, 2022 | 6:30pm CDT\nOn-Site & Online \n  \nDavid Seymour – better known as “Chim” — is widely remembered as the first human rights photographer. One of the cofounders of photojournalism’s famous cooperative Magnum Photos\, Chim’s work was poignant and emphatic – transcending generations\, making him one of the 20th century’s quintessential photographers. \nJoin us for a special presentation by Carole Naggar and Ben Shneiderman to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition\, Chim: Between Devastation and Resurrection\, which focuses on Seymour’s photographs of post-World War II reconstruction in Europe\, European elections\, the effect of the war on children\, and the birth of the new State of Israel. \nNaggar is an author and photography historian who has studied Chim’s life and work for decades. Her long-awaited biography\, David ‘Chim’ Seymour: Searching for the Light\, 1911-1956\, will be released this fall. Shneiderman\, a distinguished university professor\, and Chim’s nephew\, will open the program with a monologue about his uncle’s life and work. \nOn-site guests are invited to come to the Museum prior to our start time to explore the new exhibition. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening & Discussion: 80 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:The feature documentary 80 YEARS LATER explores the racial inheritance of Japanese American family incarceration during World War II through multigenerational conversations with survivors and their descendants.\nIn the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 that imprisoned 120\,000 Japanese Americans in World War II\, families still grapple with the legacy of their experience. How does one inherit traumatic history across generations?\nOur community screening in Chicago is especially meaningful as many incarcerated Japanese Americans relocated and rebuilt their lives in Chicago following their incarceration. The screening will be 50 min long and will be followed by a Q&A with cast and crew from the film.\nThe Q&A will be moderated by Karen Su\, Global Asian Studies Director of Undergraduate Studies and Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. Professor Su started teaching Introduction to Asian American Studies in 2006\, before the Asian American Studies program was formally established. She serves as the Principal Investigator and Project Director of the UIC AANAPISI Initiative.\nIn her creative work\, Prof. Su focuses on children’s picture books featuring Asian American life stories. She was chosen to participate in a mentorship program with Maya Gonzalez at Reflection Press in 2017 and was a We Need Diverse Books mentee in 2018. One of her current works-in-progress focuses on the story of Yuki Llewellyn who was incarcerated as a child at Manzanar during WWII.\nThe filmmaker Celine Parreñas Shimizu considers it incredibly important that this community impact screening amplifies existing work that supports formerly incarcerated Japanese Americans and their descendants. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Japanese American Service Committee (JASC). JASC engages people of all ages to experience Japanese American history and culture and to improve their well-being through innovative\, high quality programs and services tailored to the multicultural community.\nThis is a masked event. Masks are required indoors to keep our community safe.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Sun in the Water / Sol en el agua
DESCRIPTION:A reception will take place prior to screening with appetizers and wine provided\, and a conversation regarding the film will proceed the screening. \n6:00 PM – Dominican Rep. Appetizers and Wine \n7:00 PM – Film screening (Spanish with English subtitles) \nParking at 33 W Ontario ($10 with validation) \n\n\n\n\nSun in the Water / Sol en el agua\n\nA day at the beach with a baby; a car accident; a fight: these are some of the fragments Sol is able to remember bit by bit after she wakes up at a hospital. The doctor and the two nurses attending her refuse to answer her questions while keeping her sedated. A character by the name of Ino appears in her dreams guiding her through her lost memories. But Ino is not a figment of her imagination. “Sun in the Water” is a challenging and mind-blowing psychological thriller about consciousness\, guilt\, fate and the choices that we make. \nUn día en la playa con un bebé; un accidente de coche; una pelea: estos son algunos de los eventos que Sol es capaz de recordar poco a poco después de despertarse en un hospital. El médico y las dos enfermeras que la atienden se niegan a responder sus preguntas mientras la mantienen sedada. Un personaje con el nombre de Ino aparece en sus sueños\, guiándola a través de sus recuerdos perdidos. Pero Ino no es producto de su imaginación. “Sol en el agua” es un desafiante y alucinante thriller psicológico sobre la conciencia\, la culpa y el destino.
