Foster's writing and research focus on ideas of place and emplacement,
on intersections between the visual and the written, and on mapping
the 20th- and 21st-century African Americas. In this lecture, Foster
will talk about her book-length manuscript of poetry, "AHotB," that
takes up Fanny Lou Hamer's idea that "a black women's body is never
hers alone." Register online. Tonya M. Foster is the author of the
poetry collection A Swarm of Bees in High Court and the bilingual
poetry chapbook La grammaire des os. She is coeditor of the essay
collection Third Mind: Creative Writing through Visual Art.
Forthcoming are a poetry chapbook, A History of the Bitch (AHOTB), and
the full-length collection Thingification. With the support of a
Creative Capital Award, Foster is also developing a multimedia,
multi-genre project titled Monkey Talk.

Pharos of Chaos

Event Date as Display String: Sunday, November 24, 2019, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Location: Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge URL: https://harvardfilmarchive.org/calendar/pharos-of-chaos-2019-11 Event Description: Wolf-Eckart Bühler was at work on a different film about the adventurous, seafaring Sterling Hayden (Der Havarist/The Shipwrecker) when he finally tracked down the man in person to make this frank, fascinating document.

HILR Intersession: Mollie Crawford-Volk: Velazquez' "Las Meninas" and its Modern Progeny

Its scale, technical virtuosity, complex subject, and inclusion of the only uncontested self-portrait of the Spanish artist we have contributed decisively to its special stature. But this stature has been enormously enhanced by the number and quality of responses to the painting made by important later artists, a phenomenon that continues up to the present. Very few, if any, paintings in western art have inspired such an illustrious progeny. UID: http://uid.trumba.com/event/141501611 ...
