Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985

APRIL 13–JULY 22, 2018

Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art and Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing, 4th Floor

#radicalwomenbkm

This is the first exhibition to explore the groundbreaking contributions to contemporary art of Latin American and Latina women artists during a period of extraordinary conceptual and aesthetic experimentation. Featuring more than 120 artists from 15 countries, Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985 focuses on their use of the female body for political and social critique and artistic expression. (Note: This exhibition contains mature content.)

The artists pioneer radical forms and explore a female sensibility with overt or, more often, covert links to feminist activism. Many works were realized under harsh political and social conditions, some due to U.S. interventions in Central and South America, that were oaticomplicated or compounded by the artists’ experiences as women.

Good Manners - As Boas Maneiras

Marco Dutra, Juliana Rojas

NEW YORK PREMIERE · Q&AS WITH MARCO DUTRA AND JULIANA ROJAS

• Marco Dutra, Juliana Rojas 
 
• 2017
 
• Brazil/France
 
• Portuguese with English subtitles 
 
• 135 minutes

Q&As with Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas

An immaculately stylized twist on the monster movie, Dutra and Rojas’s second collaboration (following the acclaimed Hard Labor) inventively engages matters of race, class, and desire. Set in São Paulo, the narrative initially concerns the curious relationship between rich, white, pregnant socialite Ana (Marjorie Estiano) and her new housemaid Clara (Isabél Zuaa). As the two women grow closer, their rapport turns first sexual then shockingly macabre. Good Manners evolves into a werewolf movie unlike any other, a delirious and compulsively watchable cross between Disney and Jacques Tourneur. A Distrib Films US release.

Companies that invest in social projects prefer solutions that are cost-effective, scalable, and have the potential to become public policy.  They prefer projects which are easy to execute, quickly demonstrate measurable results, and impact the largest number of beneficiaries.  These goals together can be difficult to achieve, without the right process.  The solution is Social Technologies. ST’s are proven solutions with the potential for scalability, following their development in close partnership with the community.

Please join us for an interesting discussion by internationally recognized experts in this discipline. They will present examples of Social Technologies and discuss how this innovative mindset can meet the combined needs of donor corporations, the government, and the communities impacted.

April Staycation Ideas in New Jersey For more events and fun things to do in New Jersey, visit NJNext.com. "April is the cruelest month," T.S. Eliot wrote nearly 100 years ago. Clearly he foresaw our decidedly non-springlike April of 2018. For those who cannot escape to warmer climes, don't despair! There's plenty to do and enjoy in New Jersey with the kids, even in April. Enjoy the Cherry Blossoms Skip the trip to Washington D.C. (Newark actually boasts the largest cherry blossom collection in the United States) and savor the stunning scenery ride in your own backyard.Throughout the month of April, visitors can enjoy the gorgeous grounds of Branch Brook Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the famed landscape architect and designer of Manhattan’s Central Park, as well as an array of activities that includes concerts, a bike race (April 7), and a 10K (April 8). Keep an eye on the webcam to see when the trees are blooming! More information here.  The Cherry Blossom Festival get underway in Branch Brook Park April 7. Visit a Museum While you wait for those cherry blossoms to bloom, try something indoors. New Jersey has scads of world-class art museums — from Newark Museum to Morris Museum to Grounds for Sculpture and more — and many are free or offer special pricing for kids and families. See our list here. New Jersey also has many specialty museums that won't seem stuffy to kids — such as the Liberty Science Center (catch the end of Conservation Week April 7 and 8), the Whippany Railway Museum, the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, the Aviation Hall of Fame & Museum, the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, and the Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial. Learn Some History The whole family will enjoy seeing where electricity was harnessed and filmmaking transformed at Thomas Edison Historic Park in West Orange — the site of Edison's actual laboratories. Conversely, your musical theater kids who have memorized the entire score of "Hamilton" will enjoy visiting where Washington, Hamilton and the Continental Army headquartered during the winters of 1779 and '80 at Morristown National Historic Park. Go Downashore The ocean may be too chilly to dip you toes in, but there's plenty to enjoy down the shore, from Jenkinson's Aquarium to Belmar's latest donut shop to Asbury Park's new cat café. Meanwhile, the Cape May Lighthouse is open Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Climb all 199 steps — then head into town for food and rest and the Cape May Film Festival. Catsbury Park Cafe & Lounge Cafe Area, Photo Courtesy of Catsbury Park Cafe Visit the Mountains Time for skiing may be over, but the hills are alive — with biking, trail hiking, golf and more. Check out the activities at Mountain Creek Resort here. Looking for a hike closer to NYC (and a smaller mountain)? Check out the South Mountain Reservation trail map here. Visit an Escape Room Escape rooms, in which players must solve riddles or piece together clues within a specified time frame, are popping up all over the Garden State. Read our roundup here.
