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:God Bless the Child: A Multimedia Presentation
DESCRIPTION:At this multimedia event in collaboration with Microscope Gallery and UnionDocs\, Fordham students taking “Connection and Context: An Introduction to Art and Engagement” will show work in a program together with internationally acclaimed experimental filmmaker Christopher Harris. A special video installation and performance by Fordham students\, featuring interviews\, field recordings\, and images of historical documents related to the destruction of the San Juan Hill neighborhood and Lincoln Square community in the 1950s\, will be followed by a presentation of God Bless the Child\, Christopher Harris’s first autobiographical work. \nIn God Bless the Child\, Harris draws directly from his experience as a foster child. Combining photos\, records\, and other materials from his personal archives with 16mm film footage he recently shot in Senegal\, Harris situates “the carcerality of the social welfare state and child services in relation to Black childhood in the U.S.” within the broader context of the transatlantic slave trade and the French Catholic Church’s colonization of West Africa and the Americas. His hometown of St. Louis\, Missouri\, is presented alongside Saint-Louis\, Senegal\, as fraternal colonized twin cities. \nThe presentation will be followed by an open conversation and Q&A with the audience. \nThis program is supported by a Fordham University Faculty Challenge Grant and Interdisciplinary Research Grant.

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!

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: ‘Knife/Paint/Words: The Art of Deborah Ugoretz’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the exhibit “Knife/Paint/Words: The Art of Deborah Ugoretz\,” followed by an artist’s talk and reception. \nThe 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. \nThis event is open to alumni\, faculty/staff\, parents\, students\, and the public.

SUMMARY:Sister Helen Prejean on Dead Man Walking: Opera\, Activism\, and Faith
DESCRIPTION:Catholic nun and death penalty opponent Helen Prejean will join both the composer and lead singer of the Metropolitan Opera’s new production for an evening of conversation. \nDead Man Walking is Sister Prejean’s bestselling 1993 memoir chronicling her ministry to death row inmates and the families of their victims. In 1995\, her book was adapted for the screen and became an Academy Award-winning film. And in 2000\, Dead Man Walking premiered as an opera—the most widely performed new opera of the last 20 years. \nThis fall\, the opera makes its premiere at the Metropolitan Opera. In anticipation of that opening\, Sister Prejean will join composer Jake Heggie and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato—who portrays Sister Prejean—at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle for a conversation about the opera and the roles art and faith play in galvanizing social action. \nThe occasion of this production is especially propitious as Pope Francis has declared the death penalty “inadmissible” under Catholic teaching. At the same time\, some states are ramping up efforts to schedule executions even as more death row inmates are exonerated or questions are raised about their convictions. This gives the campaign against capital punishment even greater urgency. \nFordham University president Tania Tetlow will introduce the evening’s guests\, and the Center on Religion and Culture’s director\, David Gibson\, will moderate the discussion. \nThis event is a partnership with the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and the Metropolitan Opera.

SUMMARY:'The Light of the Revival: Stained-Glass Design for Restituted Synagogues of Ukraine' by Eugeny Kotlyar
DESCRIPTION:An opening reception will be held on September 10 from 2 to 4 p.m. \nThe exhibition offers a broad perspective on the revival of Ukrainian synagogues after Ukraine’s independence\, showcasing three sets of stained-glass windows that were designed by Eugeny Kotlyar and partially implemented in Ukrainian synagogues from 1995 to 2005. Two early works shown here were the first samples of stained-glass designs for modern Ukrainian synagogues\, which set a new trend. \nThe first of them\, stained-glass windows for the Kharkiv Choral Synagogue (1995)\, is on the theme of Jewish holidays. The second project—an ensemble of stained-glass windows for the Kyiv synagogue in Podil (2002)—focuses on the holy places of the land of Israel and the tribes of Israel. The third work\, Jerusalem and the Tribes of Israel\, is a part of the original design of the Torah Ark itself in the Galitska synagogue in Kyiv (2005). In Kotlyar’s artistic vision\, the stained-glass window projects the light\, turns the metaphysical into the physical\, materializes the speculative image\, and\, ultimately\, fills the prayer with color and light. \nThis exhibition is made possible thanks to the generosity of Fordham Trustee Henry S. Miller\, Bruce Beal\, Eugene Shvidler\, GABELLI ’92\, and anonymous donors to the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham.
