SUMMARY:Joseph Bowie/Adam Rudolph Duet
DESCRIPTION:Free Jazz and electronica meet the rhythms of the world. Adam Rudolph and Joseph Bowie first performed together in 2000 at Lincoln Center with Yusef Lateef. They have collaborated in numerous projects since then\, including a trio with Omar Sosa and\, most recently\, in Adam Rudolph’s Moving Pictures. Their music is grounded in the American improvisational tradition while embracing music forms\, languages\, instrumentation\, and cosmologies of Europe\, Africa\, the Middle East\, Asia\, and the African Diaspora.   \n\n\n\nDecades of performance and research into these music cultures have given the artists the background and experience to create a unique and unprecedented improvisational art form.  \n\n\n\nJoseph Bowie: trombone\, electronics\, vocal\, harmonica\, congas\, djembe\, percussion; and Adam Rudolph: handrumset (congas\, djembe\, tarija)\, frame drum\, thumb pianos\, gongs\, percussion and multiphonic singing\, sintir\, piano  \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by iEAR Presents! and the Arts Department at RPI.

SUMMARY:Marco Calliari
DESCRIPTION:Born in Italy but raised in Quebec\, vocalist and guitarist Marco Calliari was a member of Montreal-based Anonymous for 15 years before setting out as a solo artist. Though the band had been an outlet for his love of hard rock and metal\, his parents instilled a love for both opera and Italian pop\, and he had also studied classical singing while in high school. Now he explores the music of the Italian diaspora with nods to flamenco\, klezmer\, ska and more!

SUMMARY:"Sex in an Epidemic\," with Filmmaker Jean Carlomusto
DESCRIPTION:A compelling history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and its ongoing impact\, especially on  the gay\, Afrian-American and Latino communities hardest hit. The film shows a world living with the disease for nearly 30 years\, while ignorance and prejudice about it endure.

SUMMARY:"Cultures of Resistance" with Filmmaker Iara Lee
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, on the eve of the Iraq war\, director Iara Lee embarked on a journey to better understand a world increasingly embroiled in conflict and\, as she saw it\, heading for self-destruction. After several years\, traveling over five continents\, Iara encountered growing numbers of people who committed their lives to promoting change. This is their story.  \n\n\n\nFrom Iran\, where graffiti and rap became tools in fighting government repression\, to Burma\, where monks acting in the tradition of Gandhi take on a dictatorship\, moving on to Brazil\, where musicians reach out to slum kids and transform guns into guitars\, and ending in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon\, where photography\, music\, and film have given a voice to those rarely heard\, filmmaker Iara Lee’s Cultures of Resistance (2010) explores how art and creativity can be ammunition in the battle for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Underground Gallery Exhibition: "Media Nodes" Photos by Sean Hemmerle
DESCRIPTION:Media Nodes was born of award-winning photographer Sean Hemmerle’s desire to document the news media in the midst of an historic transformation. “People throw around this word all the time\, mostly disparagingly: ‘oh\, the media\,’ and ‘media spin\,” he says. “That made me think: who is the media? And what about the media? I wanted to put a face on these media nodes\, the places where news is ‘made’ if you will.” This world-premiere exhibition of the eight-year project Media Nodes was originally published in the Columbia Journalism Review. It is a view behind the curtain\, beyond the front page\, to the interior landscape of an industry in transition.

SUMMARY:"Taking Liberties" with Author Susan Herman\, President of ACLU
DESCRIPTION:October 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the Patriot Act. In the days following 9/11\, fear and shock dominated the public and domestic security issues rose to the top of our agenda. The state of emergency that began during the Bush administration has continued into the Obama administration. But how many of actions taken to keep Americans safe are effective and worthwhile? Are we\, as Americans\, giving up too much to employ many of the antiterrorism tactics in use? In Taking Liberties: The War on Terror and the Erosion of Democracy author Susan Herman\, president of the American Civil Liberties Union\, examines the human and social costs of the War on Terror.  \n\n\n\n“This book is about us and it is about now\,” Herman writes\, “A decade is long enough time to allow us to step back and try to look at the whole picture of the costs and benefits of strategies that were forged during the panicky days right after 9/11.”  \n\n\n\nShould we be willing to tolerate the current level of surveillance\, intrusion\, and potential error because these efforts are helping to keep us safe?  \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by Market Block Books and the NYCLU Capital Region Chapter.

SUMMARY:Sidi Touré and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Our Fall 2011 season opens with music from Mail\, the hotbed of new African music\, featuring: Sidi Touré\, guitar and vocals; Jambla Maiga\, kuntigui; Domu Maiga\, kurbu. Touré made his first guitar as a child\, constructing it from his wooden writing slate in the ancient town of Gao\, Mali. Once the heart of the Songhaï empire and burial place of its Askia kings\, the town rests between the Niger and the encroaching ocean of sand known as the Sahara Desert. The Songhai empire was the last of the great empires of the Sahel\, reaching its zenith under Soni Alibert (Sunni Ali) in the mid 400’s. Sidi Touré was born here in 1959\, but to be born a Touré\, a noble family who trace their lineage directly from the Askia kings\, carried a significance and onus of a past that reaches directly into the present. Like another Malian noble turned singer\, Salif Keita\, Sidi Touré faced a conflict between the inexorable pull of music and the expectations of family and society. Touré’s family had been sung about\, and sung to\, by traditional griots for centuries\, but until a small boy challenged the rules\, the Touré’s did not sing!

SUMMARY:Underground Gallery Exhibition: Media Nodes\, Photos by Sean Hemmerle
DESCRIPTION:Media Nodes was born of award-winning photographer Sean Hemmerle’s desire to document the news media in the midst of an historic transformation. “People throw around this word all the time\, mostly disparagingly: ‘oh\, the media\,’ and ‘media spin\,” he says. “That made me think: who is the media? And what about the media? I wanted to put a face on these media nodes\, the places where news is ‘made’ if you will.” This world-premiere exhibition of the eight-year project Media Nodes was originally published in the Columbia Journalism Review. It is a view behind the curtain\, beyond the front page\, to the interior landscape of an industry in transition.  \n\n\n\nOn view 10/6/11-12/3/11.
