4. Dr. Jauna Suarez Events
The Visible and the Invisible: Documenting Latin American Moving Image Archives
Monday, October 14 at 12:20 PM
Miller Learning Center Room 250
Dr. Juana Suarez, Director of NYU's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program will deliver a lecture on the place of audiovisual archives in shaping cultural histories in the region, comparing similarities and differences in their constituencies in order to analyze the administrative forces that currently shape archival practices, chief among them the digital turn. Her current book project Moving Image Archives, Cultural History and the Digital Turn in Latin America intends to establish a model to approach the historiography of film archives in Latin America, including a discussion of relevant topics regarding archival holdings, collection management, current practices of digitization, digital preservation, and access. As historical repositories, film archives in Latin America are strongly linked to the movement and activity of world cinematheques and play a significant role in commercial exhibition, retrospective, film festivals, and education about the history of film as art, industry, and technology. The project makes a case for the cultural significance of what this patrimony represents for the history of world cinema by understanding how film archives and cinematic cultures are intertwined, and how these archives are evolving places, shaped by migration, domestic and foreign affairs, displacement, technology, and movement.
Training Media Archivists: The Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program (MIAP) at New York University
Monday, October 14 at 4 PM
Fine Arts Building Room 53
Program Director Juana Suarez will offer an overview of the Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program (MIAP) at NYU. MIAP is a two-year, interdisciplinary course of study that trains future professionals to manage and preserve collections of film, video, digital and multimedia works. MIAP combines humanities (the history and context of moving images) with science and engineering (the technical processes of how media are created, deteriorate, and can be restored) and ensures constant exposure to real-world experiences. This presentation will highlight the different components of the program, rapid change within the profession, and professional opportunities for media archivists.

7. Conversation and performance: DJ Lynnee Denise
Thursday, October 17 from 6 PM to Midnight
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
The event will begin with "Let the Beat Hit'em: Case Studies in DJ Scholarship," a conversation between Denise and Atlanta-based music scholar Harold Pride at 6 p.m., with a short break at 7:30 p.m. A community reception and mixer will begin at 8 p.m., followed by a DJ set by Denise beginning at 9 p.m. The event is part of DJ Summits in the Global South, an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grant-funded research project in the Global Georgia Initiative of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts.
Lynnee Denise was shaped as a DJ by her parents' record collection. She's an artist, scholar, and writer whose work reflects on underground cultural movements, the 1980s, migration studies, theories of escape, and electronic music of the African Diaspora. Denise coined the phrase "DJ Scholarship" to re-position the role of the DJ from a party purveyor to an archivist, cultural custodian and information specialist of music with critical value. Through interactive workshops, lectures and presentations at universities, conferences and performance venues, she harnesses music as a medium for vital public dialogue on how to transform the way that music of the Black Atlantic is understood in its social context and beyond entertainment.
Harold Pride is a community-based lecturer, Black music scholar, and arts enthusiast. In 2013, he presented "Sonic Visuals" at Spelman College and participated in a panel surrounding Prince's social activism, "Black Albums Matter," at California State University in Los Angeles. A lifelong Prince fan, Pride has also presented at the Purple Reign Conference at the University of Salford Manchester, the 30th Anniversary of Lovesexy Symposium at New York University, and Batman 30, again at Spelman College.

8. Lecture: Dr. Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby
Thursday, October 17 at 5:30 PM
Lamar Dodd Building Room S151
"Creole Degas (brightness and blindness)"
When Edgar Degas traveled across the sea to visit his Creole family in New Orleans in 1872, he continually expressed his anxiety about his sight and his difficulty apprehending or painting the black persons so novel to him. The artist claimed that the brevity of his visit justified his decision not to depict this foreign place so pervaded by a boldly visible racial difference. The unfamiliarity of the spectacle of blackness made Degas think about other French artists who might have attempted to meet such a challenge, for instance Manet. This talk analyzes the intersection of sight, blindness, race and Creole identity in the writings and art of Degas during this voyage to and from New Orleans.
Goldman Distinguished Professor in the Arts and Humanities, Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby specializes in 18th- through early 20th-century French and American art and visual and material culture, particularly in relation to the politics of race and colonialism. Grigsby writes on painting, sculpture, photography and engineering as well as the relationships among reproductive media and new technologies from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. Grigsby is the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the Clark Prize for Excellence in Arts Writing (2018), two Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowships (2002 and 2008), a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts (2005), a History of Art Undergraduate Association Award for Outstanding Contribution to Art Historical Education, 2003 and The Distinguished Teaching Award, UC Berkeley (2012).
