It is among the most basic human truths: Every one of us, some day, will be brought to our knees. By a diagnosis we didn't expect, a phone call we can't imagine, or a loss we cannot endure. That common humanity inspires our mercy. It fortifies our compassion. It drives us to look out for the sick, the elderly, the poor, and the most vulnerable among us. Yesterday's bill -- yesterday's devastating bill -- does the opposite. The bill is more than premiums and tax cuts. It is a cold and calculated world view: One that scapegoats the struggling, and sees fault in suffering. One dead set on dividing us based on who we love, where we come from, the direction of our faith and the size of our fortunes. We see it in their tax plan, their budget cuts, their immigration policy, their civil rights assaults -- and yesterday, in their cruel health care plan. We must reject it. We must decide, instead, to take care of each other -- because, but for the grace of God, we will all one day wake up in need of a little mercy. This nation's character has never been defined by the power we give the already strong -- but by the strength we give the weak. This is our ultimate test. And it starts right now.

Description
This initiative investigates Brazilian modernist photography, its relationship to race, and its place within a dynamic international network of images and ideas. From experimental work that resonates with broader postwar trends of creative photographic expression to modern forms with local and sometimes ethnic inflections, photographers were instrumental in formulating new visual languages in Brazil. Since 1939, the São Paulo-based Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB) nurtured a wide range of avant-garde practices that anticipated many elements of Concrete Art in Brazil featured at the first São Paulo Biennial in 1951. This diverse group included photographers from immigrant communities such as São Paulo’s growing German, Hungarian, Jewish, Italian, and Japanese populations. These artists participated in international networks of exchange around the globe that increased their visibility and expanded their approach.
Taking FCCB as a starting point, the conference stretches the boundaries of what we understand as experimental art in Brazil in the mid-twentieth century. Photography has been largely excluded from current scholarship about Brazilian modernism and abstraction, and Brazilian photographers of this era are overlooked in narratives around modern photography. The aims of the conference are thus threefold: first, we will examine the distinctive nature of Brazilian modernist photography. Second, we hope to explore photography within the context of modernist and abstract art in Brazil, probing the relationship of modernist photography to other marginalized media and art forms such as mail art and Afro-Brazilian art. Third, we encourage an international perspective that investigates networks of modernist photography through transnational photo clubs, salons, exhibitions, and the many magazines that flourished domestically and across Latin America, the United States and Europe.

Please join us on Tuesday, May 9th for the latest edition in our Fulbright NY Open Salon series. Our Open Salons are opportunities to hear about Fulbrighters' work by doing presentations in a cross-disciplinary, informal atmosphere, for feedback, critique or to instigate thought.
Our palette of Fulbright presenters for May's salon includes:
Juliane Bazzo is currently a Fulbright scholar at CUNY (Queens College and The Graduate Center) who will be speaking on the agency of the bullying concept in contemporary Brazil. The concept has permeated with intensity in Brazilian debates about race, gender and class and thus has impacted the exercise of citizenship in the contemporary Brazilian scenario. Juliane's research reflects on how the notion of bullying has informed subjects' daily actions at schools, public policies, media coverage, and more. Her recent publications include “Memories Revisited: On the Retroactive Testimonies of Victims of Bullying in the Brazilian Context” and “The weave of kinship and the ever-mobile fishing village of Barra de Ararapira - Superagüi Island, Guaraqueçaba, Paraná, Brazil."
Christine Garvey is a Fulbright alumna to Italy and an artist whose work often incorporates mixed media and collage. She explores the link between technological advancement and artistic representation of the body: "the yawning gap between what it feels like to have a body and what 21st-century technology allows us to know about how the human body looks and operates." (Brooklyn Magazine) Christine has exhibited internationally, including solo exhibitions with Galerie Circulaire (Montreal), Sur La Montagne Galerie (Berlin), Phra Nakorn Gallery (Bangkok) and SACI Jules Maidoff Gallery (Italy).
Ishita Tiwary is currently a Fulbright scholar at Columbia University. She is also a research associate with the Sarai Programme at the Centre for the Study of Developing Society (CSDS). Her work has been published in Post Script and Bioscope: South Asian Screen Studies amongst others. She was the publicist for the award winning documentary Cities of Sleep. Ishita's research interests include the role of informal media economies, technology and media cultures. She will be presenting her research on the history of the VHS in India, including its role in the development of the political video news magazine and thepopularity of the wedding video.
Come join us for an evening of captivating presentations and conversation!

KIBO is a new way for children ages 4–7 to gain sequential learning skills, introducing them to the world of robotics and computer programming in an accessible and fun environment. Based on over 15 years of research in learning technologies and child development at Tufts University, this workshop is designed for educators, after school programs, summer camps, and parents who home school their young children. KIBO builds students' STEAM skills through play!
Workshop participants will experience KIBO hands-on and receive instruction on creating learning experiences for students 4–7 years, with lessons that are creative, fun, and closely linked with activities found in these learning environments. KIBO gives children the chance to make their ideas physical and tangible — exactly what their young minds and bodies need. And KIBO does all this without requiring screen time from PCs, tablets or smartphones.
During this workshop, participants will learn about:
- • How to introduce coding to youth through sequential learning
- • Theory and development of KIBO, and how it works
- • Enhancing educational programming with KIBO for STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math)
- • Other programs using coding for youth
