Screening Tongues Untied is a 1989 semi-documentary film directed by Marlon Riggs. The film seeks, in its author's words to, "...shatter the nation's brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference." The film blends documentary footage with personal account and fiction in an attempt to depict the specificity of black gay identity. The "silence" referred to throughout the film is that of black gay men, who are unable to express themselves because of the prejudices of white and black heterosexual society, as well as the white gay society. The documentary dealt with the simultaneous critique of the politics of racism, homophobia and exclusion as they are intertwined with contemporary sexual politics. The film is a part of a body of recently released films and videos, which examine central issues in the lives of lesbian and gay Blacks.

GUEST LECTURE by IRINA ARISTARKHOVA

Title: "Are You Crazy?: Unconditional Hospitality in Contemporary Art."
Summary: "Drawing on a wide range of theoretical discussions of hospitality, the talk will provide a broader framing of the various approaches contemporary artists adopt in mobilizing this notion, specifically analyzing the works of Lee Mingwei (Taiwan / USA), Kathy High (USA), Faith Wilding (USA), Ana Prvacki (Singapore / USA), Pippa Bacca (Italy), and Mithu Sen (India). The lecture opens a wider dialogue about and critical appreciation of specific works that are often regarded extreme in their provision of hospitality."

Stamps School of Art & Design of the University of Michigan, and is also a Visiting Professor of Gender Studies and Media Art Theory at the Department of Image Science, Danube University Krems (Austria).

GUEST LECTURE by KIRSTEN SWENSON Title: Agnes Denes’s Wheatfield (1982/2015): Fantasy, Critique, Speculation

In 1982, the artist Agnes Denes cultivated two acres of wheat at the edge of New York’s Financial District, briefly occupying a landfill formed during the construction of the World Trade Center and slated for development into Battery Park City later that year. Wheatfield was conceived in response to the geopolitics of hunger during the Cold War wheat embargo, designated by Denes as “a confrontation” with the global economic forces represented by its site. In 2015, Wheatfield was restaged in Milan, underwritten by a private developer as part of the renewal of the Porta Nuova district. This talk explores the spatial politics Wheatfield, both historical and recent, and questions raised by replanting an ephemeral installation conceived in specific reference to site and history.
