2. Screening and Discussion: The Band's Visit
Tuesday, January 23 at 7:30 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
The Athens Jewish Film Festival and the Willson Center will co-sponsor a special screening of "The Band's Visit," the 2007 Israeli film that is the source of the current hit Broadway musical of the same name. A public reception with hors d'oeuvres from The National will begin at 6:30 PM in the CineLab, and a panel discussion with UGA faculty members will follow the screening. The event is free and open to the public, with seats for the screening available on a first-come, first-served basis. "The Band's Visit," directed by Eran Kolirin, tells the story of the members of an Egyptian police orchestra scheduled to perform at a cultural center in Israel. Through mishandled travel arrangements, they become stranded for a day and night in a tiny Israeli desert town and find brief, poignant, and often hilarious friendship with its residents.

3. Artists's Rights Symposium
Tuesday, January 23 from 8:15 AM - 5 PM
Moore-Rooker Hall, A200 Stelling Family Study
Full schedule: https://artistsrightssymposium.wordpress.com
An examination of resources available to music creators beyond copyright infringement lawsuits. The rapid change in the digital music industry has left music creators and music industry rights holders confused, unaware of the extent of their intellectual property rights, and often unable to enforce those rights. Traditionally music creators and rights holders have resorted to federal copyright infringement lawsuits to rectify these problems. Unfortunately, these lawsuits are expensive, time consuming and inefficient. The purpose of this symposium is to examine other tools that are available to enforce music creators' rights beyond federal copyright infringement lawsuits.

4. Lecture: Amanda Ross-Ho
Wednesday, January 24 at 12:15 PM
Lamar Dodd Building Room S151
Amanda Ross-Ho received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a MFA from the University of Southern California. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Ross-Ho has had a multitude of solo exhibitions, including shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2012), Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland, OH (2014), and Praz-Delavallade, Paris (2015). She also participated in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Inspiration for Ross-Ho's work comes from objects in the studio and often tends to be autobiographical. Yet, when recreated for a gallery setting, the objects shift in scale, deliberately creating a skewed and sometimes hilarious or unsettling perspectives. Her works address everyday life in random order, as objects are installed on walls, floors, and ceiling to create an immersive experience for the viewer.

6. 5th Symposium on Integrative Conservation
Friday, January 26 from 10:30 AM - 8 PM
Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources (2-100)
http://icon.uga.edu/events/sic/
The main objective of the Symposium on Integrative Conservation (SIC) is to cultivate interactions between cohorts of Integrative Conservation Research (ICON) students from around the UGA campus in multiple departments and to promote continued dialogue throughout their tenure in the program. A second objective of SIC is to facilitate interaction with the broader academic community at UGA. The ICON program seeks to train future scholars capable of engaging with a diversity of people working both in research and practice on the most pressing social and environmental challenges. To effectively do this, it is necessary to encounter the insights, perspectives, and methodologies of multiple disciplines as part of the educational experience. SIC is intended to enhance these aspects of the ICON Ph.D. Program by providing a space for the exchange of ideas between students and faculty interested in integrative research and practice.

7. Screening and Talk: How To Rust
Friday, January 26 at 3:35 PM
Baldwin Hall, Room 264
The short film "How to Rust" is a postindustrial fable told in iron, rocks, and wood. It takes as its starting point an installation built out of repurposed materials that spans several vacant lots alongside Ford Freeway in Detroit, Michigan. The installation "Iron Teaching Rocks How to Rust" is the work of storyteller Olayami Dabls which he fashions as a metaphor for the forced assimilation of Africans to European culture and language. Here Dabls' appropriation of the postindustrial landscape becomes a commentary on the half-life of Fordism, where the relationship between cultural production, history, and place is being forged anew, revealing larger truths about how we mythologize a former glory and shape an imagined future. After a screening of the film, Julia Yezbick (University of Michigan) will speak briefly about the film, her process, and the relationality of rust.
