SYMPOSIA
Wednesday, April 20 Hofstra Cultural Center presents CAN WE TEACH CREATIVITY? CREATIVITY STUDIES IN 2016
David Jacobs, Dream, 1986 Aluminum, 64”x 64”x 10” Courtesy of the artist
Building upon a keynote address by Joseph G. Astman Distinguished Symposium Scholar Dr. Gerard Puccio, department chair and professor, International Center for Studies in Creativity, University at Buffalo, SUNY, this symposium explores the emerging field of creativity studies and some of its core questions: What is creativity? Can it be measured? Can it be taught? What environments cultivate creativity? How can creative thinking enhance the lives of individuals and success of organizations? Through research presentations, workshops and performances, this symposium investigates multiple facets of creativity.
Related Events: Tuesday, April 19, 2:30-3:45 p.m. An Inventor’s Vision of the Future: Innovation and Creativity

Performance by the New York Neo-Futurists Wednesday, April 20, 7 p.m. Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind
With its ever-changing “menu” of plays, Too Much Light … is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes — an original concept by Greg Allen and written by the New York Neo-Futurists. The audience is fully part of the act, deciding the order that these plays are performed. The single unifying element of these plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty. For more information and to register, please visit hofstra.edu/culture.
Monday, April 4 Hofstra Hillel: The Center for Jewish Life on Campus presents FROM THE ASHES: THE REBIRTH OF POLISH JEWRY
For centuries Poland represented a vibrant center of Jewish life. This world was destroyed by the Holocaust. Today, Polish Jewry is experiencing an unexpected revival thanks to the work of dedicated members of young pluralistic Jewish communities, as well as nonJewish allies and the support of the Polish government. There is a major shift occurring in how we understand the history of Polish Jewry. Instead of focusing solely on the destruction, today’s students will understand the full history of this important community. Symposium participants have the opportunity to hear from individuals, educators and scholars working in Poland to overcome all the odds and re-establish Jewish life. In addition to discussions and lectures, there will be films, art presentations, and performances designed to engage participants on different educational levels. For more information and to register, please visit hofstra.edu/culture.
Monday and Tuesday, April 11 and 12 The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication presents IMMERSIVE MEDIA AND THE FUTURE OF NONFICTION STORYTELLING: VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) HERE
The symposium provides students and faculty with the opportunity to witness and interact with cutting-edge VR technology being used by organizations such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Google and Facebook. Panels include discussions on the practice and ethics involved in teaching and creating VR content; curricular and pedagogical issues involved in teaching VR; technical and ethical challenges confronting VR as it blurs the boundary between dispassionate journalism and empathic advocacy; as well as a sandbox-style, hands-on demonstration of the latest in VR technology and projects. The Long Island Visual Professionals will co-host a recent virtual reality project and the creative team behind it. For more information and to register, please email aashish.kumar@hofstra.edu.

Tuesday, March 8, 11 a.m. Remember the Triangle Fire
On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory located one block east of Washington Square Park. Beginning on the eighth floor, the fire burned through three floors of the Asch Building, now NYU’s Brown Building. There were over 500 employees – mostly young women and recent immigrants. Because the owners had locked the doors to the stairwells and exits – a then-common practice to prevent workers from taking unauthorized breaks – many of the workers could not escape and jumped from the high windows. Fire trucks arrived, but their ladders reached only the sixth floor. The elevators ran as long as they could as workers pressed into the cars; some tumbled down the elevator shaft. In the end, 146 people died. There was a trial, but the owners – long known for their anti-union activities – were acquitted. The fire became a rallying cry for the international labor movement. Many of our fire safety laws were created in response to this tragic event and improved safety standards. Multipurpose Room, Mack Student Center
Tuesday, March 15, 2:20 p.m. Mariposa & the Saint

The performance is followed by opportunities for the audience to engage in a dialogue regarding the issue of solitary confinement and take action. Directed by Noelle Ghoussaini with performances by Ray Huth and Julia Steele Allen. Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center

JOSEPH G. ASTMAN CULTURAL EVENTS LATIN AMERICAN and CARIBBEAN STUDIES PROGRAM (LACS) and AFRICAN STUDIES PROGRAM Thursday, February 4, 11:10 a.m.-12:05 p.m. Irene Silverblatt
Irene Silverblatt is professor of cultural anthropology and a member of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Duke University. She studies how “race-thinking” and gender relations were integral to the making of the modern world as well as how historical memory has shaped feelings of national belonging and demands for universal rights. Professor Silverblatt’s research in Central and Eastern Europe explores the ways in which historical memory, particularly of the Holocaust, is playing a role in the transformation of national ideologies as well as in the conceptualization of transnational human rights. Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center
Thursday, February 18, 4:30-5:50 p.m. Lewis R. Gordon
Lewis R. Gordon is professor of philosophy and Africana studies, with affiliations in Asian and Asian American studies, Caribbean and Latino studies, and Judaic studies, at the University of Connecticut-Storrs. He is the author of several influential monographs, including his most recent book, What Fanon Said: A Philosophical Introduction to His Life and Thought. He is a co-editor of the book series Global Critical Caribbean Thought and participates in a variety of public forums, including Truth-out.org. Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library
Wednesday, March 9, 11:15 a.m.-12:40 p.m. (Common Hour) Edward E. Baptist
Edward E. Baptist is associate professor of history at Cornell University with a focus on the history of 19th-century United States, and in particular the history of the enslavement of African Americans in the South. The expansion of slavery in the United States between the writing of the Constitution in 1787 and the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 had enormous consequences for all Americans. Indeed, the expansion shaped many elements of the modern world, both inside and outside the borders of the United States. His recent book, The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism, explores that process: the experience of the slave trades and forced migrations that drove expansion; the systems of labor that emerged; and the economic, political and cultural consequences for women, men and children. Co-sponsored by the Hofstra Cultural Center Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library For more information, please visit hofstra.edu/LACS.

Over a feverish day and a half, this already poor, working class community managed to come up with the 50 kilos of gold in order to save one another. Oro Macht Frei reveals the sad delusion of a community that – believing they had paid their ransom and would be left alone – did not go into hiding. Speaker: Catherine Campbell, Writer and Producer

DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA AND DANCE February 18, 7 p.m.* February 19 and 20, 26 and 27, 8 p.m. February 21 and 28, 2 p.m. 67th Annual Hofstra Shakespeare Festival As You Like It
by William Shakespeare directed by Kara-Lynn Vaeni Join us for a performance of one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedies, in which “All the world’s a stage/And all the men and women merely players.” Set mostly in the Forest of Arden and featuring Rosalind, one of his greatest female heroines, the play explores the human and social condition, in which actors and audience alike seek true love and make attempts to learn the roles that will help them most to succeed. *Reception at 6 p.m. This performance will be followed by a talkback with cast and crew. Black Box Theater, New Academic Building
Wednesday, February 10, 11:30 a.m. As You Like It Symposium Black Box Theater, New Academic Building
Wednesday, February 24, 11:15 a.m. Acting Shakespeare Lecture Series The Robben Island Bible
A staged reading of the verbatim theater piece The Robben Island Bible, followed by a talkback with the playwright, Matthew Hahn. The Robben Island Bible centers around South African Sonny Venkatrathnam, a political prisoner on Robben Island from 1972 to 1978. Venkatrathnam asked his wife to send him The Complete Works of William Shakespeare during a time when prisoners were briefly allowed to have one book other than a religious text. The book’s “fame” resides in the fact that Venkatrathnam passed the book to a number of his fellow political prisoners in the single cells. Each prisoner marked his favorite passage in the book and signed it with the date. It contains 32 signatures, including those of Walter Sisulu, Nelson Mandela, Govan Mbeki, Ahmed Kathrada and Mac Maharaj, all luminaries in the struggle for a democratic South Africa. The selection of text provides fascinating insight into the minds, thinking and soul of those political prisoners who fought for the transformation of South Africa. It also speaks to the impact of Shakespeare on the human spirit regardless of place or time. Co-sponsored by the Hofstra Cultural Center Fortunoff Theater, Monroe Lecture Center Related Event: Monday, February 22, 7 p.m. Reading of The Robben Island Bible at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, 405 West 55th Street (at Ninth Ave.), New York City.
