Subject: GAHDT Roundtable Series: On Power, Trauma and Representation (Friday, April 1)

Please share widely!!

The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme is pleased to announce our 2022 series of Post-MFA/Postdoctoral Researcher roundtable webinars<https://globalartsandhumanities.osu.edu/news/2022-roundtables>, which features presentations and moderated conversations that foster cross-disciplinary exchange.

The second roundtable, On Power, Trauma and Representation, (Friday, April 1, 11:00 am-12:00 pm) features:

Sona Hill Kazemi

Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of English
Hill's upcoming book investigates if and how the embodied experiences of violence (state-sanctioned, ableist and gender-based) could become a point of departure for the survivors to develop political consciousness and transform themselves and society. Hill Kazemi attends to the experiences of acquired-disability as radical possibilities rather than “limiting tragedies” that need to be “fixed” by medicalization. They engage with intersectional paradigms for exploring disability’s meanings in relation to material conditions, under which people are forced to function in the Middle East.

Dionne Lee
Post-MFA Researcher in Creative Arts, Departments of Art and WGSS
Lee's recent exhibition, Castings, is a continuation of their interest in place, ancestral memory, and survival. Moving away from the use of found images sourced from wilderness manuals and how-to’s, Lee looks to the body, and the land itself, as primary sources. Through the camera, a tool that affirms the experience of witnessing, Lee engages with how the body holds and carves through its memories, such as the resilience of generations to thrive despite systematic barriers and harm inflicted on them. Following the shadow of a fallen tree branch turned divining rod, rotating the sedimentary joints of the body, and gazing into the eye of a dandelion or the black hole of a rock overturned: are all modes of research to consider the relationship between the self, the past and the landscape in which they meet.

The roundtable will be moderated by Professor Carmen Winant (Roy Lichtenstein Chair of Studio Art, Department of Art)
