MURALISM & ACTIVISM
Thursday, April 7 | 12p
CCSRE Conference Room | BLDG 360 | RM 361J
Join us for a lecture by Gina Hernandez-Clarke, Director of Community Engaged Learning, Stanford Arts Institute, and Stanford Alum. Inspired by mural movements in the S.F. Bay Area and elsewhere, Stanford students alongside artists such as Juana Alicia have painted murals at sites on campus. This talk will address how these murals are a unique form of community engagement and sites for creating shared history and student learning across generations. At the heart of this form of public art is the power of muralism in furthering social justice movements.
This event is presented in partnership with the Institute for Diversity in the Arts.

The Healing Project explores the daily realities of incarceration and violence through a multidisciplinary performance and panel discussion
CCSRE Staff | April 5, 2022
Following the performance of Samora Pinderhughes' multidisciplinary work, The Healing Project, CCSRE Mellon Arts Fellow and documentary filmmaker Adamu Chan joined a panel discussion last Saturday evening at Bing Studio with other local artists and activists committed to upholding the rights and voices of formerly incarcerated persons.
Relating The Healing Project to his own creative work both within and outside of prison, Chan shared during the post-performance discussion, "Over the last couple of years there has been a collective disillusionment and reckoning about the systems and institutions in our society that they are not actually protecting us. But part of what you are hearing tonight is that there have always been communities experiencing that disillusionment. It hasn’t been a reckoning for them."
Chan furthered, "They didn’t have to see someone get killed on the nightly news or they did not have to experience COVID to know that the medical and others systems are not [equitable]. Because of that, there are communities that are creating their own safety, creating their own worlds and their own methods and processes to get to the world that they want to get to. Historically, the arts has been a way for disenfranchised communities to communicate with broader society and counter dominant discourses. And art can lead us toward more investigation and toward action. That’s why the arts are so important."

CCSRE Faculty Affiliate, Brian Lowery, Reveals How Race Influences and Amplifies Backlash Against Outspoken Women
BY Nadra Nittle | March 25, 2022
This story was first published in Insights by Stanford Business.
When Christine Blasey Ford testified in 2018 that then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were high school students, she elicited empathy and outrage. The reactions were strikingly similar to those that accompanied the testimony of Anita Hill nearly 30 years earlier, when she accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. In both cases, the women faced backlash in part because they were insisting on being heard — an exercise of agency often associated with masculinity. But did race also play a role in how they were perceived?

“Decolonizing Archives, Rethinking Historical Methods”
April 12 | 4pm
Jenny Sharpe, professor of English, Comparative Literature and Gender Studies at UCLA, will present work from a forthcoming publication that addresses the logic of racial segregation in an imperial picturesque. Sharpe problematizes ethnographic tableaus of “coolies” and Orientalizing portraits of “coolie belles" in examining a late Victorian photographic archive for its obscuring of Indo-Jamaican and Afro-Jamaican co-habitation and a plantation labor system in which Indian women were assigned the lowest-ranked tasks. Usha Iyer (Film & Media Studies, Stanford) will serve as respondent.
