SUMMARY:Slow Film Series: Nainsukh
DESCRIPTION:Experimental filmmaker Amit Dutta is a singular presence in Indian cinema… This debut feature\, shot on 16mm film\, is an imagined biopic of Nainsukh\, an 18th-century miniature painter from the Himalayan Kangra Valley. Taking inspiration from that age-old visual form\, which privileges traditional Indian epistemological perspectives over visual and temporal realism\, Dutta creates an unparalleled piece of cinema with a unique approach to image\, depth\, space\, time\, and storytelling.  (Summary from Museum of Modern Art) \n\n\n\nThe screening includes an introduction by Slow Film Series curator Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece\, Associate Professor of English and Film Studies\, and Director of UWM’s Film Studies Program.  \n\n\n\nThis screening is free and open to the public. See Union Cinema listing. \n\n\n\n(Amit Dutta\, India\, 2010\, Dogri w/ Eng Sub\, 90 min\, DCP) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis screening of Amit Dutta’s Nainsukh is part of C21’s Slow Film Series\, featuring movies at Union Cinema throughout the chilly months of the fall and spring academic terms that invite you to chill out\, cozy up\, and contemplate the cinematic riches of slow-paced films.

SUMMARY:Collaboratory & Working Group Applications Due
DESCRIPTION:Application deadline: Friday\, March 28\, 11:59 PM \n\n\n\nAccess complete application instructions here.\n\n\n\nVirtual information session: Friday\, February 28\, 9:00-10:00 AM | Register here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout\n\n\n\nC21 believes that the complex challenges we face in the 21st century are best met through collaborations across areas of expertise and experience\, and that the humanities are a vital part of addressing these challenges.  \n\n\n\nCollaborative project funding provides an opportunity to bring together teams of scholars across disciplines\, across university and community partnerships\, and across emerging and established scholars (students / staff / faculty) to generate new ideas and knowledge. \n\n\n\nC21 Collaboratories provide opportunities to bring new\, humanities-informed ideas and knowledge to many different audiences both on and off campus. Collaboratories are also foundational to the Center’s annual programming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFunding Tiers: Collaboratories and Working Groups\n\n\n\nC21 offers two distinct funding tiers for collaborative research projects: \n\n\n\nCollaboratories are collaborative projects developed with a specific project or public outcome in mind. These collaboratives are eligible for up to $10\,000 in funding\, though most projects receive around $5\,000. Awarded funds can be used as seed funding to establish proof-of-concept or complete research legwork to find additional funding or sustainable support structures. Or\, funds can support short-term research projects that include a specific public programming component or culminate in a public presentation of some form. Preference will be given to project proposals that 1) address the pressing issues of our time and correlate with C21’s annual theme of Slow Care1 for the granting period\, 2) include team members with expertise in disciplines outside of the humanities\, 3) experiment with new formats for presenting\, conveying\, or disseminating humanities research\, 4) demonstrate potential for longevity beyond the grant period\, and/or 5) engage the public in meaningful ways. All project proposals MUST include a public-facing component or other tangible final deliverable. Funded Collaboratories will be required to submit a brief final report at the end of the grant cycle. \n\n\n\nWorking Groups are groups that gather for ongoing discussions\, networking\, and idea generation. Theses groups are eligible for $500 in funding\, and may be newly formed or pre-existing groups with an ongoing dialogic process or collaborative project. They do not necessarily have to have a fully formed project plan with a final deliverable in mind\, nor must their proposed project cohere with C21’s annual theme. Working Group funding presents an opportunity to build momentum towards a Collaboratory project proposal or an externally funded project. For FY26\, C21 will fund a maximum of three proposals from returning Working Groups (Working Groups that have received Collaboratory funding from C21 in the past) and two proposals from new Working Groups (groups that have never before received Collaboratory funding from C21). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?\n\n\n\nC21 strongly encourages questions and inquiries in advance of proposals. Please review application details in full and contact C21 Managing Director Katie Waddell with questions at waddelke@uwm.edu.

SUMMARY:Slow Growing in the Time of Trees: Carving Workshop with Daniel Minter
DESCRIPTION:Call & Response artist-in-residence Daniel Minter pays a visit to Lynden Sculpture Garden as part of Slow Growing in the Time of Trees\, a C21 Collaboratory.  \n\n\n\nThe Collaboratory brings together Lynden artist-in-residence Yevgeniya Kaganovich\, her collaborators—Lisa Moline\, Lane Hall\, Kate Beutner and Jim Charles—and their guests to cultivate an interdisciplinary creative space that examines the durational nature of trees\, mushrooms\, and humans\, and the symbiosis between trees and human and non-human partners.  \n\n\n\nMinter will revisit sites of importance from his two-year residency\, IN THE HEALING LANGUAGE OF TREES: a natural act of transformation restructured for curing many ills. The walk-and-talk will be followed by a wood-carving workshop suitable for carvers of all levels.  \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. Space is limited. Prior registration is required. \n\n\n\n—  \n\n\n\nDaniel Minter is an American artist known for his work in the mediums of painting and assemblage who works in varied media. His overall body of work deals with themes of displacement and diaspora\, ordinary/extraordinary blackness; spirituality in the Afro Atlantic world; and the (re)creation of meanings of home. Minter’s work has been featured in numerous institutions and galleries including the Portland Museum of Art\, Seattle Art Museum\, Tacoma Art Museum\, Bates College\, University of Southern Maine\, Center for Maine Contemporary Art\, The David C. Driskell Center\, and the Northwest African American Art Museum. As founding director of Maine Freedom Trails\, he has helped highlight the history of the Underground Railroad and the abolitionist movement in New England. In 2018\, Minter co-founded the Indigo Arts Alliance\, a creative center in the city of Portland\, Maine\, dedicated to increasing the visibility of\, and support for\, Black and Brown artists. Indigo is the manifestation of a lifelong dream to create a place where art\, ingenuity\, social justice\, and diasporic collaboration is seeded and nurtured. Minter was a Call & Response Artist-in-Residence at Lynden from 2021-2023. \n\n\n\nArtist-in-residence Yevgeniya Kaganovich is a Belarus-born\, Milwaukee-based artist\, whose hybrid practice encompasses jewelry and metalsmithing\, sculpture and installation. Yevgeniya received an MFA from the State University of New York at New Paltz and a BFA in Metal/Jewelry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Yevgeniya has been an active art practitioner since 1992\, exhibiting her work nationally and internationally. Her work has received numerous awards and has been published widely. Yevgeniya’s interest in craft scholarship and pedagogy lead her to undertake curatorial projects\, panel and symposium organizing\, and other contributions to contemporary craft discourse. Yevgeniya has worked as a Designer/Goldsmith at Peggie Robinson Designs\, Studio of Handcrafted Jewelry in Evanston\, Illinois and has taught Metalsmithing at Chicago State University\, Chicago\, Illinois\, and Lill Street Studios\, Chicago Illinois. Currently Yevgeniya is a Professor in the Department of Art and Design\, Peck School of the Arts\, at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, heading a thriving Jewelry and Metalsmithing Area with a graduate and undergraduate programs. \n\n\n\nIn 2019\, Kaganovich planted trees on the Lynden grounds for her tree intuits chair residency project. They have continued to grow in and out of the shape of chairs ever since. Slow Growing in the Time of Trees considers and contextualizes the time and materiality of the trees themselves\, as well as the trees in relation to the human and non-human species that come into contact and engage in transformations with them. It focuses on the aesthetic possibilities of intermixing human and nonhuman processes in complex webs of entanglement inherent in durational processes. Throughout the growing season\, Kaganovich and her collaborators will create speculative forms out of reused plastic bags and cardboard\, inoculate grain and straw medium with three varieties of oyster mushroom spores\, and situate the forms in and around the trees on the grounds of Lynden Sculpture Garden\, documenting the ways in which these cultivated fruiting bodies develop and distort Kaganovich’s fabricated forms. \n\n\n\nC21 is the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee College of Letters & Sciences Center for 21st Century Studies. C21 believes that the complex challenges we face in the 21st century are best met through collaborations across areas of expertise and experience\, and that the humanities are a vital part of addressing these challenges.Collaboratory funding is an opportunity to bring together teams of scholars across disciplines\, across university and community partnerships\, and across emerging and established scholars (students / staff / faculty) to inspire the generation of new ideas. \n\n\n\nPart of C21’s Slow Knowing program series.
