SUMMARY:Folk-arts for peace: HemisFair '68 and the Cultural Olympics in México’s 1968 Olympiad during the Global Cold War
DESCRIPTION:A public talk on craft and globalism by Dr. Deborah Dorotinsky Alperstein\, Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas of the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM). \nThis lecture will center on folk art (handcraft / arte-popular) as a cultural agent during the Global Cold War in 1968. It will highlight the place of handcraft in the cultural diplomacy between Mexico and the United States during the sixties and bring to the fore two international exhibitions. \nDr. Dorotinsky currently serves as the project leader for Popular Arts\, an effort to create a network of scholars both in Latin American and elsewhere whose work deals with contemporary Latin American art and specifically “popular” art objects\, i.e. crafts and diseño artisanal. The purpose of the project is to critique and revise accepted categories (as well as definitions\, terms\, etc.) of these objects. Dr. Dorotinsky and her colleagues argue that these categories are politically contingent\, often exploitative\, and troublingly institutionalized.

SUMMARY:Dangerous Women\, Effective Changemakers - Film and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Women changemakers have been often labeled “dangerous\,” but their voices and actions have been essential in creating positive change and remain so today. A public forum\, sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County and UWM Women’s & Gender Studies\, presents the pilot episode of a documentary series on this topic\, along with a diverse panel of younger “dangerous women” changemakers. \nPanelists include: Lauren Feaster\, the CEO of Professional Dimensions\, the leading women’s professional association in the Milwaukee area; Arvina Martin\, the first Native person ever elected to Madison’s Common Council\, and now the Executive Director of Emerge Wisconsin\, which recruits and trains women to run for public office; Marcelia Nicholson\, the first Black woman and Latina elected as Chairwoman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors\, recently re-elected for her second term.  \nAn audience Q&A will follow the panel\, along with refreshments and the opportunity for informal interaction with the panelists. Continuing the League of Women Voters’ century-long efforts to ensure voting rights\, League of Women Voters members will staff a voter registration table. \nThe Most Dangerous Women series of documentary shorts is a project of Milwaukee-based New Moon Productions\, under the direction of Janet Fitch. It presents the stories of women changemakers\, and invites viewers to discover and document women in their own families\, communities\, and regions working towards a more just and equitable world. The pilot episode begins in 1869\, when Wyoming becomes the only territory in the world to specifically recognize women’s right to vote and to hold elected office\, a full 50 years before passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.
