CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Spillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].

Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The restrictions prohibit the collection of the artichoke-like ’akkoub and za’atar (thyme), and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds caught collecting these native plants. For Palestinians, these laws constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further alienates them from their land while Israeli state representatives insist on their scientific expertise and duty to protect. Following the plants from the wild to the kitchen, from the chases between the foragers and the nature patrol, to courtroom defenses, Foragers captures the joy and knowledge embodied in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law. By reframing the terms and constraints of preservation, the film raises questions around the politics of extinction, namely who determines what is made extinct and what gets to live on.

Nicole Wallace and Lou Cornum: A Reading and Conversation
May 16, Olin Auditorium, Bard College, 3:30pm
Co-Sponsored by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck and AS 222 Indigenous Feminist Critiques and Geographies
Lou Cornum (Diné/Bilagáana) is Assistant Professor of Native American Studies in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. They hold a Ph.D. in English from the City University of New York Graduate Center, an M.A. from the University of British Columbia, and a B.A. from Columbia University. Their research interests broadly encompass Indigenous Cultural Studies with particular attention to Native American literature and Indigenous Futurism. Looking to science fiction as a form of theorizing land and the human, Cornum’s first project puts into dynamic conversation concepts and texts across Critical Indigenous Studies, Black Studies, and Geography. In 2020, they co-edited a special issue of Canadian Literature titled “Decolonial (Re)Visions of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.” An additional ongoing project is a study of what they call “the irradiated international”, the diffuse collective of peoples affected by atomic testing, atomic bombs, and uranium mining. “Radioactive Intimacies: The Making of Worldwide Wastelands in Marie Clements’s Burning Vision” was published in the Critical Ethnic Studies Journal in 2020. They are a founding editorial collective member of Pinko: A Magazine of Gay Communism.
Nicole Wallace’s first chapbook, WAASAMOWIN, was published by IMP in 2019. Most recently, Nicole was the June/July 2020 poetry micro-resident at Running Dog and a 2019 Poets House Emerging Poets Fellow. Recent work can be read in print in Survivance: Indigenous Poesis Vol. IV Zine and online at Running Dog, A Perfect Vacuum, and LitHub. They have also contributed to programs and publications celebrating the work and life of the late poet, Diane Burns, author of Riding the One-Eyed Ford (Contact II, 1981).
Through their ongoing participation in language classes and through their work as a writer and poet, Nicole is dedicated to reconnecting with and carrying forward the Ojibwe language (Ojibwemowin / Anishinaabemowin). They have participated in remote language classes with Dr. Wendy Makoons Geniusz through UW-Eau Claire, and most recently with Memegwesi Sutherland through the Minneapolis American Indian Center/Culture Language And Arts Network.
Nicole received a BA from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study (2008) and a Masters of Library Science in Archives and Preservation of Cultural Materials from Queens College, CUNY (2012). They have lived and made work as a guest on occupied Canarsee and Lenape territory (NYC) since 2005 and are currently the Managing Director of The Poetry Project. Nicole is of mixed settler/European ancestry and is a patrilineal descendent of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Ojibwe)

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Spillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CPW, 25 Dederick St, Kingston NY, 12401 The Spanish-speaking team of Radio Kingston along with community partners La Voz magazine, invites you to see a play with music in Spanish. ¡Arsenio! A tribute to the life and music of Afro-Cuban composer Arsenio Rodríguez, "the wonderful blind man", written by Toby Campion.
Free, thanks to the support of Radio Kingston, in collaboration with Best Western Kingston, CPW, iD Studio Theater, La Voz magazine, LOUD, NY Folklore, State Farm Insurance, Taquería Mi Pueblito, and Tienda Hispana Doña Maite.

Flyers for social media and more attached. Please, circulate widely!
ABOUT THE PLAY: Yenifer is a young lady who dreams of becoming a musician, and is preparing for an audition at the Bronx Conservatory of the Arts. But she is plagued by fears and insecurities, so she is suddenly transported to a shadowy world populated by monsters generated by herself. A pilgrim in this limbo comes to her aid, none other than the late Arsenio Rodríguez, the legendary innovator of Cuban son. He will try to guide Yenifer towards a new understanding of herself. The means to achieve this: the vibrant music of the heritage they share in common.
ARSENIO! A work that pays tribute to the life and music of Arsenio Rodríguez, the talented Afro-Cuban composer also known as El Ciego Maravilloso. His innovations with Cuban son initiated a radical change in tropical music of the 1950s and, throughout, gave rise to new styles including the creation of salsa in the South Bronx. The work is the third in a trilogy titled “Between Two Worlds,” which has explored cultural and spiritual themes related to Latin American music. The first is based on cumbia (Colombia), and the second on the songs of Pedro Infante (Mexico).

Introduction & Contextualization by Leil Mortada (CHRA student), sponsored by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck, as a part of HR 353: water-bodies : confluences, deltas, gulfs with Professor Juliana Steiner
Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The restrictions prohibit the collection of the artichoke-like ’akkoub and za’atar (thyme), and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds caught collecting these native plants. For Palestinians, these laws constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further alienates them from their land while Israeli state representatives insist on their scientific expertise and duty to protect. Following the plants from the wild to the kitchen, from the chases between the foragers and the nature patrol, to courtroom defenses, Foragers captures the joy and knowledge embodied in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law. By reframing the terms and constraints of preservation, the film raises questions around the politics of extinction, namely who determines what is made extinct and what gets to live on.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Dean of the Bard College Conservatory of Music Tan Dun presents the Dunhuang Academy Ancient Music Consort with five visiting Chinese musicians in a special workshop performance of music from Tang Dynasty 618-907 A.D. (Translated from the original “Library Cave” manuscripts of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang currently found in the collections of the French National Library). The instruments are replicas based on images found in the Dunhuang Mogao Cave murals with support by the Dunhuang Foundation and Tan Dun. The second part of the program features a Bard Conservatory string quartet performing new works alongside the traditional Chinese instruments.
World-renowned artist and UNESCO Global Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun has made an indelible mark on the world’s music scene with a creative repertoire that spans the boundaries of classical music, multimedia performance, and Eastern and Western traditions. A winner of many of today’s most prestigious honors and awards, Tan Dun’s music has been played throughout the world by leading orchestras, opera houses, international festivals, and on radio and television.

Choreographed by rising artists in the Bard College Dance Program, this concert of Senior Projects represents the culmination of four years of intensive choreographic inquiry and research. Their concepts have been realized with the support of a professional staff of designers.
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Spillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].

Olin Hall
Nicole Wallace and Lou Cornum: A Reading and Conversation
May 16, Olin Auditorium, Bard College, 3:30pm
Co-Sponsored by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck and AS 222 Indigenous Feminist Critiques and Geographies
Lou Cornum (Diné/Bilagáana) is Assistant Professor of Native American Studies in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. They hold a Ph.D. in English from the City University of New York Graduate Center, an M.A. from the University of British Columbia, and a B.A. from Columbia University. Their research interests broadly encompass Indigenous Cultural Studies with particular attention to Native American literature and Indigenous Futurism. Looking to science fiction as a form of theorizing land and the human, Cornum’s first project puts into dynamic conversation concepts and texts across Critical Indigenous Studies, Black Studies, and Geography. In 2020, they co-edited a special issue of Canadian Literature titled “Decolonial (Re)Visions of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.” An additional ongoing project is a study of what they call “the irradiated international”, the diffuse collective of peoples affected by atomic testing, atomic bombs, and uranium mining. “Radioactive Intimacies: The Making of Worldwide Wastelands in Marie Clements’s Burning Vision” was published in the Critical Ethnic Studies Journal in 2020. They are a founding editorial collective member of Pinko: A Magazine of Gay Communism.
Nicole Wallace’s first chapbook, WAASAMOWIN, was published by IMP in 2019. Most recently, Nicole was the June/July 2020 poetry micro-resident at Running Dog and a 2019 Poets House Emerging Poets Fellow. Recent work can be read in print in Survivance: Indigenous Poesis Vol. IV Zine and online at Running Dog, A Perfect Vacuum, and LitHub. They have also contributed to programs and publications celebrating the work and life of the late poet, Diane Burns, author of Riding the One-Eyed Ford (Contact II, 1981).
Through their ongoing participation in language classes and through their work as a writer and poet, Nicole is dedicated to reconnecting with and carrying forward the Ojibwe language (Ojibwemowin / Anishinaabemowin). They have participated in remote language classes with Dr. Wendy Makoons Geniusz through UW-Eau Claire, and most recently with Memegwesi Sutherland through the Minneapolis American Indian Center/Culture Language And Arts Network.
Nicole received a BA from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study (2008) and a Masters of Library Science in Archives and Preservation of Cultural Materials from Queens College, CUNY (2012). They have lived and made work as a guest on occupied Canarsee and Lenape territory (NYC) since 2005 and are currently the Managing Director of The Poetry Project. Nicole is of mixed settler/European ancestry and is a patrilineal descendent of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Ojibwe)

ABOUT THE PLAY: Yenifer is a young lady who dreams of becoming a musician, and is preparing for an audition at the Bronx Conservatory of the Arts. But she is plagued by fears and insecurities, so she is suddenly transported to a shadowy world populated by monsters generated by herself. A pilgrim in this limbo comes to her aid, none other than the late Arsenio Rodríguez, the legendary innovator of Cuban son. He will try to guide Yenifer towards a new understanding of herself. The means to achieve this: the vibrant music of the heritage they share in common.
ARSENIO! A work that pays tribute to the life and music of Arsenio Rodríguez, the talented Afro-Cuban composer also known as El Ciego Maravilloso. His innovations with Cuban son initiated a radical change in tropical music of the 1950s and, throughout, gave rise to new styles including the creation of salsa in the South Bronx. The work is the third in a trilogy titled “Between Two Worlds,” which has explored cultural and spiritual themes related to Latin American music. The first is based on cumbia (Colombia), and the second on the songs of Pedro Infante (Mexico).
