SUMMARY:‘Knife/Paint/Words: The Art of Deborah Ugoretz’
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Kabbalists believed that it was possible to find meaning in the empty spaces around and within the letters of texts. The Japanese concept of Notan views the relationship between negative and positive space as reciprocal and necessary for harmony and balance. These two worldviews deeply influence the artist’s work. Deborah Ugoretz explores these by working with cut paper and painting in acrylics. “The simplicity\, flexibility\, and strength of paper enable me to transform it into multidimensional art with a limitless range of expression\,” she said. \nInspired by the written word\, Ugoretz takes texts—poems\, prayers\, and ancient writings—and translates them into a visual language that infuses those words with deeper meaning because visual language can touch on a richer emotional and intellectual level. One of Ugoretz’s works\, “The Six Days of Creation\,” based on the Genesis story\, uses her theory of color as a comment on the ravages of disposable culture. \nThe exhibit is accompanied by a display of rare books from the Special Collections. The exhibit will be on view until May 20. \nAbout the Artist\nDeborah Ugoretz is a Brooklyn-based artist\, born in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. She holds a B.S. in fine art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her expressive work deals with the exploration of feminism\, her concern for and fascination with the diversity of the natural world\, and social issues. Since 1978\, Ugoretz has been a master cut paper artist and teacher. Her work was featured in the monograph In the Tradition of Our Ancestors – Papercutting (Folklife Program of the New Jersey State Council of the Arts\, 2006) and the catalog of the exhibition “Slash! Paper Under the Knife\,” held at the Museum of Art and Design in New York from 2009 2010. She has designed stained glass windows and synagogue art for the Russ Berrie Home for Jewish Life in Rockleigh\, New Jersey\, and other houses of worship. Other commissions include the Tenement Museum\, University of Michigan\, Jewish Theological Seminary\, YIVO Institute of Jewish Research\, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. \nUgoretz’s work has been exhibited at the Milwaukee Jewish Museum\, the Monmouth Art Museum\, the Hebrew Union College Institute of Religion Museum\, the Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art\, The Museum of Biblical Art\, the UJA Federation Gallery\, and others. Ugoretz is recognized by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as a master cut-paper artist.

SUMMARY:El Niño at the Met: Opera\, Baby Jesus\, and Today’s Refugees
DESCRIPTION:The critically acclaimed opera is premiering at the Metropolitan Opera\, and director Lileana Blain-Cruz will join us for an evening of conversation on art\, faith\, and justice. There will be a special appearance by Daniela Mack\, the mezzo-soprano who will perform a selection from El Niño. \nA Christmas story at Easter time? That’s essentially what the Metropolitan Opera is doing in presenting the company premiere of John Adams’s El Niño. But the opera-oratorio’s focus on the experience of the refugee and the migrant—how they struggled to find acceptance in Biblical times—could not be more contemporary and urgent. \nThe composition incorporates sacred and secular texts in English\, Spanish\, and Latin—from biblical times to the present day—in an extraordinarily dramatic retelling of the Nativity. \nThe vivid new production also marks the Met debut of celebrated theater maker Lileana Blain-Cruz\, resident director at Lincoln Center Theater\, who joins us to talk about the opera and the importance of staging art that matters for our world today. She will be joined by Fadi Skeiker of Fordham Theatre and Fordham theology professor Leo Guardado. \nDavid Gibson\, director of the Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion with the panelists and the audience. \nBONUS: Five pairs of tickets for a performance of the opera will be drawn at random for attendees who sign up at the door\, and all Fordham students and faculty will be eligible for discounted tickets. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the Metropolitan Opera and the Church of St. Paul the Apostle.

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: Discerning the Call: Change in the American Priesthood
DESCRIPTION:When a man discovers a call to the priesthood today\, his process of discernment looks much different than it would have decades ago. In the past\, men entered seminary younger\, the application process was quicker\, and their friends and family usually celebrated the decision. Today\, the norm is much different. But why? \nIn this original documentary\, 2023–2024 Duffy Fellows Jay Doherty and Patrick Cullinan examine the cultural changes that have affected the American Catholic priesthood in the last 75 years. From the social and political upheaval of the 1960s and the clerical sex abuse crisis of the early 2000s to the modern embrace of secularism\, Discerning the Call: Change in the American Priesthood explores the many elements that have changed priestly discernment in the United States. \nThe documentary includes interviews with Cardinal Timothy Dolan\, archbishop of New York\, and Jesuit author James Martin\, SJ\, plus men ordained from the 1950s to the present day. \nAbout the Filmmakers\nPatrick Cullinan\, FCRH ‘24\, is in the Honors Program\, majoring in Latin and minoring in economics. He is deeply interested in Catholicism and its interaction with American culture\, having rediscovered the faith during his time at Fordham. \nJay Doherty\, FCRH ‘26\, is a sophomore studying digital technologies and emerging media and philosophy. He is a reporter for WFUV and serves as a University ambassador in the Rose Hill Society. Doherty is also the treasurer of Fordham’s Jesuit Network and the student representative of the University’s alumni association.
