SUMMARY:Underground Gallery Exhibition by Nina Berman: "Evidence and Fantasy - Militarism in American Life"
DESCRIPTION:Nina Berman is an award-winning documentary photographer based in New York City\, widely publicized and exhibited\, with a primary interest in the American political and social landscape. Her work examines the influence of war and militarism on American life at this time in our history when so many resources\, both human and material\, are dedicated to military pursuit. Many of the soldiers Nina met said they thought it would be fun\, but their experiences told a different story. She became interested in how as a culture we visualize and fantasize war and what role the burgeoning homeland security state plays in the creation and dissemination of these fantasies. This exhibition featured her series Homeland\, Purple Hearts\, and Marine Weddings. The exhibition will be on view from September 26th through December 12th\, 2009.

SUMMARY:Front Lines: Words of Choice
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this creative event for reproductive rights! The evening will include an excerpted reading from the newly published and acclaimed book Front Lines: Book of Plays\, a discussion with editor Alexis Greene\, as well as a creativity workshop around reproductive rights issues led by Words of Choice creator Cindy Cooper. \n\n\n\nThe New Press has just released Front Lines: Political Plays by American Women\, edited by Alexis Greene and Shirley Lauro. From the country’s leading female playwrights\, seven brilliant plays on the hot-button issues of our time. Words of Choice — in its original version — is among the seven contemporary plays from the country’s leading female playwrights on “hot-button issues” of our time. \n\n\n\nThe New Press writes: Front Lines is a pathbreaking collection of the most important\, critically acclaimed plays written by the country’s leading con-temporary female playwrights. In the preface\, Shirley Lauro writes: Ever since this country came into being\, women have waged battles for rights in the pages of their plays\, and on the stages where those plays were performed. \n\n\n\nThe Library Journal writes: Plays tell stories\, and the best ones stay with us. Compiled by theater critic Greene (Women Who Write Plays) and playwright Lauro (Open Admissions)\, the stories in this collection of critically acclaimed works by seven leading female playwrights address some of the most contentious of contemporary issues\, and they will stick in readers’ minds for a long time. Cindy Cooper’s Words of Choice looks at the issue of reproductive choice in first-person accounts\, poems\, and satire. In Elliot\, A Soldier’s Fugue\, Quiara Alegría Hudes deftly interweaves the tales of three gener-ations of Latino men who served in Korea\, Vietnam\, and Iraq. The Exonerated\, by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen\, is based on interviews with men and women on death row for crimes they did not commit. Also included are plays by Paula Vogel\, Emily Mann\, Lauro\, and Nilaja Sun. Recommended for all academic and public drama collections. \n\n\n\nWriting in the introduction\, Alexis Greene describes Words of Choice:\n\n\n\nWords of Choice\, a compilation of first-person accounts\, satiric sketches\, and poems\, illuminates the many angles from which Americans approach the issues of reproductive choice\, especially the choice of whether or not to have an abortion. Among other things\, the play is intended as a warning about the consequences of reversing the 1973 Supreme Court decision in the case of Roe v. Wade\, which made abortion legal in the United States. A father describes how his daughter was assaulted and raped one Fourth-of-July evening\, as she walked home through Washington\, D.C. [originally from a book of interviews by Angela Bonavoglia.] There is an excerpt from entertainer Kathy Najimy’s stand-up comedy show Parallel Lives and a sprightly riff about an imaginary “morning-after burrito” from Taco Bell [originally from The Onion.] There is also nurse Emily Lyons’s account of being blown nearly apart by a bomb\, which antiabortionist Eric Rudolph exploded at a Birmingham\, Alabama\, women’s clinic in 1998. “I’ve been to war\,” Lyons says. “I’ve gone to hell\, and I’ve come back.” Greene begins her comments by saying\, “Playwrights have a responsibility to address the social and political issues of their time\,” and concludes with noting that the underlying political issue of all of the plays in the volume is the drive to preserve an individual’s freedom.” \n\n\n\nMore about Cindy Cooper: Cindy Cooper is an award-winning playwright and journalist in New York City. Her plays have been produced in New York\, regional theaters\, Canada and parts of Europe\, including at the Women’s Project\, Primary Stages\, Art and Work Ensemble\, the Women’s Project in Minneapolis\, Venus Theater\, and elsewhere. Among her works is How She Played the Game about six women in sports history. A member of the Dramatists’ Guild\, her plays are contained in eleven volumes\, including ‘Great Monologues for Women’ and ‘On The Edge.’ With a background as a lawyer\, she was communications director in the field of reproductive justice\, she first created ‘Words of Choice’ in 2000. Read a commentary by Cindy here: On the Road with Choice. \n\n\n\nThe following is a poem\, created by the audience during the Words of Choice event:\n\n\n\nSanctuary for Independent Media\, Troy NYPoem by Audience:Reproductive Freedom \n\n\n\nMY BODY. \n\n\n\nThe right of any person to choose whether or not to parent.Freedom for MY BODY\, my mind\, my spirit…for my own choice.The ability to decide when\, where and why.Rights to one’s own mind\, spirit\, life & livelihood! \n\n\n\nMY BODY. \n\n\n\nThe ability to make decisions on what birth control to use\, to enjoy MYSELF with the same consequences a man would have. \n\n\n\nFreedom to learn\, understand and exercise the right to decide when and whether to be a parent\, and to access quality care\, regardless of MY choices. \n\n\n\nMY BODY. \n\n\n\nThe freedom to choose how I love myself in the present & future; the freedom to choose the legacy I have.
