SUMMARY:Longing for Sea-Change
UID:events_stanford_edu_21023
DESCRIPTION:Presenting a series of video works by contemporary artists li
 ving and working in Africa and its diasporas continuing through June 26\
 , 2011. The video installations are on continuous view in the Center’s e
 xpanded gallery for African art.\nEach video in the “Longing for Sea-Cha
 nge” series of installations contemplates the impact that memory\, migra
 tion\, and exile have had on the human landscape — both within and away 
 from the African continent. Emotionally stirring and symbolic\, the visu
 al narratives address broader issues of humanity in moments of upheaval\
 , fragmentation\, and transition. They especially consider the impact th
 at colonial\, settler\, and migration histories have had on localized po
 pulations and the links between peoples and places across the world. Yet
 \, the works are also deeply personal in presenting individual perspecti
 ves and recollections that float between a sense of nostalgia\, a longin
 g for transformation\, and the desire to belong.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Autumn Gem"  (approx. running time 60 min.)
UID:events_stanford_edu_20537
DESCRIPTION:With Introduction by Thomas Mullaney\, Assistant Professor\, 
 History\, Stanford University\, and Q & A with the producers following t
 he screening.\n\nAUTUMN GEM explores the extraordinary life of the Chine
 se revolutionary heroine and women's rights activist Qiu Jin (1875 - 190
 7). During the reign of the last dynasty in China\, Qiu Jin boldly chall
 enged traditional gender roles and demanded equal rights and opportuniti
 es for women. At a time when women's lives were often marked by repressi
 ve practices such as footbinding\, arranged marriages\, and denial of ed
 ucation\, she envisioned a future where women would free themselves from
  the confines of tradition and emerge as strong and active citizens of a
  new and modern nation.\n\nThis project brings the story of Qiu Jin to t
 he screen in the form of a biographical documentary produced in HD video
 . It offers a fresh perspective on women in China by sharing the story o
 f a figure known as the country's first feminist. In exploring the life 
 and work of Qiu Jin\, the project unveils a remarkable chapter in the hi
 story of modern China and provides a deeper understanding of the lives o
 f Chinese women today.\n
