The Consortium for Liberal Arts in Prison, in partnership with OSUN and Incarceration Nations Network, invites individuals at member institutions to the next event in the BPI Global Initiatives Virtual Lecture Series.

Moore is Professor of Law and Legal Studies, Criminology, Sociology and Social Work at Carleton University, located on the unceded and surrendered lands of the Algonquin, Anishnabek nation. Moore has published three books, including a monograph on the drug treatment court movement.  Currently, Moore is completing a project on the lived experiences of gender based violence.

The Rebolú of La Voz

Saturday, June 17, 2023
7–8 pm

Fisher Center, Spiegeltent

The Rebolu of La Voz comes with full force! Join us in celebrating the 19th anniversary of the La Voz magazine with a special fundraising event at Bard College’s beautiful Spiegeltent, including live music and dancing, delicious food for sale, and a silent auction.

Rebolu is an Afro-Colombian musical ensemble represented by some of the best Colombian musicians in the United States. From traditional songs to original compositions, Rebolu’s repertoire is charged with energy and history. Their unique reinterpretations of traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms, such as Gaita, Tambora, Chalupa, and Bullerengue, and their belief that folkloric traditions must continue to grow over time and with new ideas make Rebolu a truly unique musical and cultural experience where rich musical traditions of their ancestors; the Afro-descendants of the Caribbean coast of Colombia, are promoted.

Do you like to dance? This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a dance class taught by Elizabeth Liotta, a certified teacher of Afro-Cuban rhythms and part of the La Voz team. No previous experience is needed; just come have fun with us and learn new steps that you can use later in the evening at Rebolu’s concert!

All proceeds benefit La Voz magazine. For sponsorship opportunities and more information, email [email protected].

The Origins and Influence of Arendt’s Kant Lectures: A Conversation with Ronald Beiner

Tuesday, June 20, 2023
12 pm

Arendt Center
Lunch will be provided. Space is limited & RSVP required: email Nicholas Dunn ([email protected]).

Join us for a conversation with Ronald Beiner about the origins and influence of Arendt’s Kant Lectures. Beiner is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1982, he compiled and edited Hannah Arendt’s lecture notes on Kant’s Critique of Judgment, which she delivered in the Fall of 1970 at the New School. The publication of these lectures has given rise to a significant body of literature in philosophy, political theory, and beyond—and continues to have an enduring impact in the field of Arendt studies.

Illinois

Friday, June 23, 2023
7:30–8:30 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

Three brilliantly imaginative artists—Justin Peck, Sufjan Stevens, and Jackie Sibblies Drury—unite to create an ecstatic pageant of storytelling, theater, dance, and live music. Stevens’ 2005 concept album Illinois enjoys cult status for its lush orchestrations and wildly inventive portrayal of the state’s people, landscapes, and history, complete with UFOs, zombies, and predatory wasps.

Tony Award-winner Justin Peck (Carousel on Broadway, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, New York City Ballet) transforms the album into a full-length theatrical performance with a cast of virtuosic dancers, singers, and musicians in a narrative crafted with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury.

Featuring new arrangements of the entire album for a live band and three voices, ranging in style from DIY folk and indie rock to marching band and ambient electronics, Illinois will lead us on a mighty journey through the American heartland, from campfire storytelling to the edges of the cosmos.

Illinois

Thursday, June 29, 2023
7:30–8:30 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

Three brilliantly imaginative artists—Justin Peck, Sufjan Stevens, and Jackie Sibblies Drury—unite to create an ecstatic pageant of storytelling, theater, dance, and live music. Stevens’ 2005 concept album Illinois enjoys cult status for its lush orchestrations and wildly inventive portrayal of the state’s people, landscapes, and history, complete with UFOs, zombies, and predatory wasps.

Tony Award-winner Justin Peck (Carousel on Broadway, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, New York City Ballet) transforms the album into a full-length theatrical performance with a cast of virtuosic dancers, singers, and musicians in a narrative crafted with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury.

Featuring new arrangements of the entire album for a live band and three voices, ranging in style from DIY folk and indie rock to marching band and ambient electronics, Illinois will lead us on a mighty journey through the American heartland, from campfire storytelling to the edges of the cosmos.

8–9 pm

Fisher Center, Spiegeltent

Revolutionary art-rock, new-wave goddess Nona Hendryx (aka ‘Mama Funk’), the original ‘Mother of Funk’ and early proponent of Afrofuturism, pays tribute to the legendary Betty Davis in a musical celebration featuring a band of (mostly) women funk rockers performing Betty’s 1975 Nasty Gal album and more.

The Rebolú of La Voz

Saturday, June 17, 2023
7–8 pm

Fisher Center, Spiegeltent

The Rebolu of La Voz comes with full force! Join us in celebrating the 19th anniversary of the La Voz magazine with a special fundraising event at Bard College’s beautiful Spiegeltent, including live music and dancing, delicious food for sale, and a silent auction.

Rebolu is an Afro-Colombian musical ensemble represented by some of the best Colombian musicians in the United States. From traditional songs to original compositions, Rebolu’s repertoire is charged with energy and history. Their unique reinterpretations of traditional Afro-Colombian rhythms, such as Gaita, Tambora, Chalupa, and Bullerengue, and their belief that folkloric traditions must continue to grow over time and with new ideas make Rebolu a truly unique musical and cultural experience where rich musical traditions of their ancestors; the Afro-descendants of the Caribbean coast of Colombia, are promoted.

Do you like to dance? This is an excellent opportunity to participate in a dance class taught by Elizabeth Liotta, a certified teacher of Afro-Cuban rhythms and part of the La Voz team. No previous experience is needed; just come have fun with us and learn new steps that you can use later in the evening at Rebolu’s concert!

All proceeds benefit La Voz magazine. For sponsorship opportunities and more information, email [email protected].

Illinois

Thursday, June 29, 2023
7:30–8:30 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater

Three brilliantly imaginative artists—Justin Peck, Sufjan Stevens, and Jackie Sibblies Drury—unite to create an ecstatic pageant of storytelling, theater, dance, and live music. Stevens’ 2005 concept album Illinois enjoys cult status for its lush orchestrations and wildly inventive portrayal of the state’s people, landscapes, and history, complete with UFOs, zombies, and predatory wasps.

Tony Award-winner Justin Peck (Carousel on Broadway, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, New York City Ballet) transforms the album into a full-length theatrical performance with a cast of virtuosic dancers, singers, and musicians in a narrative crafted with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury.

Featuring new arrangements of the entire album for a live band and three voices, ranging in style from DIY folk and indie rock to marching band and ambient electronics, Illinois will lead us on a mighty journey through the American heartland, from campfire storytelling to the edges of the cosmos.

Nona Hendryx & The Nasty Gals

present a tribute to Betty Davis

Friday, June 30, 2023
8–9 pm

Fisher Center, Spiegeltent

Revolutionary art-rock, new-wave goddess Nona Hendryx (aka ‘Mama Funk’), the original ‘Mother of Funk’ and early proponent of Afrofuturism, pays tribute to the legendary Betty Davis in a musical celebration featuring a band of (mostly) women funk rockers performing Betty’s 1975 Nasty Gal album and more. Betty’s trailblazing career —an influencer ahead of her time—  bridged the old guard to the avant-garde, leaving behind a legacy that still reverberates in music today. Come funk with us! 

Featuring Felicia Collins (guitar), Camille Gainer-Jones (drums), Divinity Roxx (bass), LaFrae Sci (electronics), Kiki Hawkins and Asa Lovechild (vocals), two guys: Etienne Stadwijk and ‘Big Mouth’ Keith Fluitt.
