SUMMARY:Book Launch · The Walls of Santiago
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in October 2019\, Chile was marked by protests and political upheaval\, as what began as civil disobedience transformed into a vast resistance movement. Throughout\, one of the most striking aspects of the protests was the murals\, graffiti\, and other political graphics that became ubiquitous in Chilean cities. \nIn this fascinating\, beautifully illustrated book\, Terri Gordon-Zolov and Eric Zolov—who were in Santiago to witness and document the protests from their very beginnings—offer a vivid catalog of Chilean wall art\, along with reflections on its artistic antecedents\, the context of global protest movements\, and the long shadow cast by Chile’s authoritarian past. \nAs a result of the uprising\, Chile is now in the process of writing a new constitution\, and previous student leader Gabriel Boric has been elected as president. The Walls of Santiago provides a window into the origins of this profoundly democratic yet revolutionary process. \nIntroduction and welcoming remarks:\nMichael Cohen\, Director\, OLA\nMary Watson\, Executive Dean\, NSPE \nPanelists:\nTerri Gordon-Zolov\, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs; Associate Professor of Comparative Literature\, The New School\nEric Zolov\, Professor of History\, Stony Brook University\nMarcial Godoy-Anativia\, Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics\, New York University\nJulia Foulkes\, Professor of History\, The New School\nNidhi Srinivas\, Associate Professor of Management\, The New School \nPresented by the Observatory on Latin America\, the Schools of Public Engagement\, and the School of Undergraduate Studies. \nDate and Time:\nThursday 5 May 2022\n6:00-8:00 pm (EST)\nAmphitheater 404\, Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall\n66 W. 12th street\nNew York\nNY\, 10011 \nThis is an in person event.\nAudience members must register for the event\, show proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination series (and booster if eligible)\, ID\, and remain masked at all times. \nPlease contact ola@newschool.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:It's not $30.00 pesos\, it's 30 years
DESCRIPTION:An analysis of protest graphics and graffiti in Santiago\, Chile\, as a way to understand the country’s current crisis. \nPUBLIC LECTURE \nIn October 2019\, a minor subway fare hike of 30 pesos triggered a social revolution\, one marked by massive protests\, organized strikes\, and widespread violence and vandalism. The month-long wave of unrest shook Latin America’s “most stable” democracy to its core. \nIn this talk\, the speakers will discuss and show the protest graphics and graffiti covering the walls of Santiago in Chile as a way to understand the roots\, social configurations and demands of Chile’s contemporary crisis. Their analysis traces the neoliberalism born in the Pinochet era and the struggles over memory and memorial sites that continue to this day. \n  \nSpeakers \nTerri Gordon – Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at The New School. Her work explores the intersections of transitional justice\, post-authoritarian literature\, memory studies\, and gender studies. She is currently writing a book on the literature of memory in post-dictatorial Chile. \nEric Zolov – Associate Professor of Latin American history at Stony Brook University. In fall 2019 he was a Fulbright Scholar teaching at the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Santiago\, Chile. His most recent book is The Last Good Neighbor: Mexico in the Global Sixties (Duke\, 2020). \n  \nThursday\, March 5\, 2020\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST\n66 W 12th St\nRoom A712\, Orozco Room\nNew York\, NY 10011\nUnited States\nView Map

SUMMARY:"Calle K"\, documentary screening and discussion with filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:Discussion with filmmakers:\nTitus Fossgard-Moser (Director)\nCaroline Moser (Social Anthropologist) \n‘Calle K’ (2019) is a documentary film that looks at the transformation over time of an illegal squatter settlement. In 1978 Titus Fossgard-Moser lived with his brother and filmmaker/anthropologist parents in the community of Indio Guayas\, then on the mangrove outskirts of Guayaquil\, Ecuador. The outcome\, the 1980 film ‘People of the Barrio’ portrayed the struggles of the community –– to survive and to get out of poverty. Led by a community leader Emma Torres they fought and negotiated with the state and other institutions to obtain basic physical and social infrastructure. \nIn May 2018\, forty years later\, Titus returned to Indio Guayas\, along with his mother\, to explore the changes in the community and to see what had happened to his old neighbors and their children. The resulting film ‘Calle K’ provides a unique visual narrative\, cross-cutting footage from ‘People of the Barrio’ with present day material to show the physical transformation of the barrio from a peripheral slum to a consolidated settlement. The film also recounts the remarkable inter-generational stories of three of the original families\, who share the stories of their present day lives and the challenges and opportunities of living in a changing 21st century city. \nFriday\, November 22nd\, 2019\n5pm – 7pm\nUniversity Center | The New School\n63 West 5th Avenue\, Room L105\nNew York\, NY\nMap of the event \nThe event will be in English\nAdmission is free\, but seating is limited.\nReservations are required\, please RSVP here.
