Exhibitions and Events 
2023 Loyola Chair Lecture
November 1 | 4-5:30 pm | O’Hare Special Collections Room, Walsh Library (Rose Hill)
Join us for the St. Ignatius Loyola Chair Lecture featuring Brian Dunkle, S.J., associate professor of historical theology at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. As Christian poets gained status and influence in the Roman Empire, they wrote out of aemulatio, that is, the desire to rival and surpass the great pagan poets of antiquity, such as Homer and Vergil. Yet when they engaged in new Christian classics, especially the Bible and the church’s creeds, any attempt at aemulatio would be equivalent to heresy. Thus, two modes of imitation inform early Christian poetry: one that rivals literary authorities and another that revels in theological authorities. This lecture will explore the interaction of these two modes not only in selected works of ambitious Christian verse but also in the celebratory hymns of the church’s worship.

It is tentatively titled Samaritanism: Moral Responsibility and Our Inner Lives. In this year’s Daniel J. Sullivan Memorial Lecture, she will expound on the central themes of this forthcoming book.

Discussion: Queer Judaism: LGBT Activism and the Remaking of Jewish Orthodoxy in Israel
November 9 | 6-7:30 p.m. | McMahon 109 (Lincoln Center)
Until fairly recently, Orthodox people in Israel could not imagine embracing their LGBT sexual or gender identity and staying within the Orthodox fold. But within the span of about a decade and a half, Orthodox LGBT people have forged social circles and communities and become much more visible. This has been a remarkable shift in a relatively short time span. Queer Judaism offers the compelling story of how Jewish LGBT persons in Israel created an effective social movement. Join Fordham’s Orit Avishai, PhD, Professor of Sociology, as she discusses her book, which traces the path of how LGBT Jews accomplished this radical change. She makes the case that it has taken multiple approaches to achieve recognition within the community, ranging from political activism to more personal interactions with religious leaders and community members, to simply creating spaces to go about their everyday lives.

Paradoxical Reformations in Latin America: Catholics, Evangelicals, and the Crisis of Democracy
November 13 | 5:30 pm | Virtual
The current political crisis in Latin America suggests that important groups of Evangelical and Catholic Christians may be faltering in their ability to successfully promote the basic ideals of Christianity and democracy. This talk focuses on the crisis of democracy in Peru, where both Evangelicals and Catholics seem to have lost the vision and leverage they once had to effect positive change. Drawing on research among religious actors in Peru, Zegarra will describe two models for understanding these shifts. In the end, historical examples of effective public democratic action on the part of both Peruvian Evangelicals and Catholics offer a powerful contrast to the broken politics of the present. Registration is required. This lecture will be virtual, and a webinar link will be sent upon registration.

Student discounted tickets are available for purchase online.

Nicholas Galanin: In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra
Through March 10 | Brooklyn Bridge Park
Nicholas Galanin is a member of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska (b.1979 Sitka; Lingít and Unangax̂). As an Indigenous person, he practices subsistence in his homeland. For him, the free movement of life is essential, and all life is deeply connected to Land. Galanin adapts aspects of pop art and minimalism, such as repetition, text, and industrial production to protest oppressive systems of division and control. The title, In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra, combines English and Spanish, two languages imposed in North America since colonization. The work reminds us that Indigenous peoples persist and permeate borders despite the forcible removal of rights, languages, and access to Land and Water. For Galanin, “barriers to Land directly reflect barriers to love, love for Land, for community and for future generations.”

Judy Chicago: Herstory
Through January 14 | New Museum; 235 Bowery New York NY 10002 
“Judy Chicago: Herstory” will span Judy Chicago’s sixty-year career to encompass the full breadth of the artist’s contributions across painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, textiles, photography, stained glass, needlework, and printmaking. Expanding the boundaries of a traditional museum survey, the exhibition will place six decades of Chicago’s work in dialogue with work by other women across centuries in a unique Fourth Floor installation. Entitled “The City of Ladies,” this exhibition-within-the-exhibition will feature artworks and archival materials from over eighty artists, writers, and thinkers, including Simone de Beauvoir, Hildegard of Bingen, Artemisia Gentileschi, Zora Neale Hurston, Frida Kahlo, Hilma af Klint, and Virginia Woolf, among many others. Student discounted tickets are available for purchase online.

Suneil Sanzgiri: Here the Earth Grows Gold
Through May 5 | Brooklyn Museum; 200 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, New York 11238-6052
Using imaging technologies to meditate on what it means to witness from afar, Suneil Sanzgiri explores the complexities of anti-colonialism, nationalism, and diasporic identity. His work is inspired by his family’s legacy of resistance in Goa, India, an area under Portuguese occupation for over 450 years until its independence in 1961. Two Refusals (Would We Recognize Ourselves Unbroken?), the artist’s newest two-channel video installation, combines archival footage, animation, interviews, and a script written by poet Sham-e-Ali Nayeem. Here the Earth Grows Gold, Sanzgiri’s first solo museum exhibition, pairs the film with a 16 mm projection and new sculptural work. Together these works present the concept of diaspora as a way to reconfigure our understanding of history and belonging. Student discounted tickets are available for purchase online.
