RECEPTION JANUARY 23rd, 6-7:30PM


New York has been a city of faith, whether it’s small devotions in unexpected nooks or bold public declarations of belief. And with a global city reshaped every few generations, traditions offer a familiar and comforting touch, if not hope itself, in every corner of the city if you look. Indeed, as the writer Oscar Hijuelos once said to me about New Yorkers who go about their days oblivious to the nuances of faith: “They are like tone-deaf. They hear a piano being played and they only hear ‘thunka-thunk.’ There is this wild jazz going on called religion and some people don’t have the chops.”
-David Gonzalez
 

EMBODYING THE RECORD at UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art ?>

EMBODYING THE RECORD at UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art

On October 12, 2023, UnionDocs collaborated with Fordham University and our Center for Community Engaged Learning and Visual Arts Program, to ask how we might embody found histories.

Fordham students and Lincoln Square community members display collages they created through a workshop with Crystal Z Campbell the day before.

Workshop participants included Helen Cahill, Luisa Coutinho Gazio, Dana Ebralidze, Nicole Estelami, Matthias Lai, Nicole Miceli, Manpreet Singh, Marie Stephen, Herbert McMillon and Michael Nelson.

Beforehand, students had read excerpts from After 1921: Notes from Tulsa’s Black Wall Street and Beyond, a collection of poems, essays, and images edited by artist Crystal Z Campbell and co-published by their Archive Acts (archiveacts.com) and VSW Press.

UnionDocs hosted Crystal Z Campbell and Catalina Alvarez to present work that approaches embodiment and performance of underknown or erased histories. Crystal Z Campbell shared and unpacked their concept of “underloved archives” while Catalina Alvarez shared sequences from Sound Spring, a film that shares resonant overlaps and methodologies.

Loops & Loops

(Intro to Art & Engagement: Protest, Participation, the Public & Other Performance Practices)

A very temporary installation

Monday December 16, 2024 | 2-3pm  
Butler Gallery | Fordham College at Lincoln Center | 113 West 60th Street New York

Through a workshop with beck haberstroh and Mira Dayal, authors of Camera of Possibilities: A Workbook Towards a Carrier Bag Theory of Photography, students taking VART 1111 “Intro to Art & Engagement” were asked to think about the ways that text can serve as an invitation for engagement. They considered how invitations might serve as an incentive for someone to join in, and indicate who is invited to participate, how they participate, and what they can expect when they do. At Loops & Loops, our very temporary installation, students used simple prompts to invite the public into challenging and abstract conversations.
