SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Yearning to Breathe: The Art of Siona Benjamin”
DESCRIPTION:Fordham Libraries and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies present the art of Siona Benjamin. \nAs a Bene Israel Jewish woman from India now living in the United States\, Siona Benjamin is a Jewish artist creating cross-cultural and transcultural art. Her perspective bridges the traditional and the modern and sparks discourse across cultures. Having grown up in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim society in India\, where she was educated in Catholic and Zoroastrian schools and raised Jewish\, Benjamin always has been reflecting on cultural boundary zones. \nHer perspective remains transcultural and multicultural at heart\, combining the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today. Her art is a kaleidoscope of images inspired by illuminated manuscripts and multicultural mythology. The blue-skinned characters are a signature feature of Benjamin’s paintings. She sees them as self-portraits of sorts through which she explores ancient and contemporary dilemmas. These characters become symbols of a timeless global identity free of prejudices and boundaries. \nBenjamin is originally from Mumbai and currently lives and works in Montclair\, New Jersey. Her work reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. In her paintings\, she combines the imagery of her past with the role she plays in America today\, making a mosaic inspired by both Indian miniature paintings and Jewish and Christian illuminated manuscripts. \nThe art is on view at the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Room at the Walsh Family Library on the Rose Hill campus and at Quinn Library on the Lincoln Center campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Citizenship\, Inclusion\, and the Struggle to Belong
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores the ways that exclusion affects minority groups in Western-dominant societies. It explores the ways in which Jews were excluded from European Christian-dominated society based on Christian notions of Jewish inferiority and the way Black people were excluded and marginalized in the United States and Europe based on race and association with slavery. We contemplate the idea of citizenship and belonging not only from the perspective of inclusion but also from the perspective of legal and social exclusion. We examine mechanisms of marginalization and exclusion: marking people and spaces\, use of language\, law\, and also violence. We also examine the way these marginalized groups navigated exclusion\, highlighting their coping mechanisms\, resilience\, and resistance to oppression and their unabashed demands of full equality and inclusion. We confront here this critical chapter in the history of the U.S.\, Europe\, and the Western Hemisphere to better reflect on its enduring impact on the ongoing struggle for justice in “Citizenship\, Inclusion\, and the Right to Belong.” \nThe exhibit was curated by Wes Alcenat\, Corinne Gibson\, FCRH ’24\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Fordham’s Babel: An Exploration of World Languages in the Special Collections”
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, featuring centuries-old books and manuscripts\, explores Western interest in languages. At first\, we try to situate the story of Babel in a non-Western context\, highlighting non-European languages. The exhibit then traces the Renaissance study of languages through the lens of the Bible and its translations and of ancient material relics\, such as obelisks\, coins\, and other remains. We also showcase the tools scholars produced to study languages—for example\, medieval and Renaissance-era grammar books and lexicons. The exhibit ends with a reflection on the impact of language study and classification on the formation of identities and prejudices in the Western world. How did early 20th-century Westerners classify languages and peoples? What does it say about their understanding of nationalities and cultures and their place within a society of their own? \nThe exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio\, Miriam Krakowski\, FCRH ’27\, and Magda Teter.

SUMMARY:Aid Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Aid Yoga© is an all-levels yoga class designed to teach students about stretching and relaxation poses\, and how to use these skills on and off the mat. Yoga is a physical practice that goes beyond teaching students how to move according to their comfort zones. This kind of workout teaches students how to regain control of their breathing\, how to trust themselves\, how to create a safe space\, and how to cope with a stressful event. The purpose of hosting Aid Yoga© at the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs (IIHA) is two fold: to provide a free\, community event that benefits the mind and body of the students while also giving them tools to take with them into the humanitarian field or in life. The class structure will build onto itself and have a theme so that the more classes a student joins\, the more they will advance\, learn\, and improve their practice. No class will be the same. \nDate and time: Thursday\, November 14\, 5 pm – 6 pm \nLocation: IIHA Refuge Gallery located on the second floor in Canisius Hall. 2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, NY 10458 \nMaximum capacity: Ten (10) people \nPlease bring: yoga mat\, water bottle\, notepad and pen\, and appropriate work-out clothing. \nInstructor: Lily Egan\, Communications Officer\, IIHA

SUMMARY:Center on Asian Americans and the Law Third Annual Fall Symposium  From Tokyo Rose to the China Initiative:  Espionage and AAPIs
DESCRIPTION:Third Annual Fall Symposium \nFrom Tokyo Rose to the China Initiative: \nEspionage and AAPIs \nThursday\, November 14\, 2024 \nIn-Person and Online \nCostantino Room\nFordham Law School \nAgenda\n5:30 – 6 p.m. Check-in\n6 – 7:30 p.m. Program\n7:30 – 8:30 p.m. Reception \nAsian Americans have long been accused of spying for foreign countries and engaging in acts of treason. In 1949\, for example\, Iva Toguri D’Aquino was tried for treason in San Francisco—as the infamous “Tokyo Rose.” Years later\, she was pardoned. \nHalf a century later\, Dr. Wen Ho Lee\, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, was accused of stealing U.S. nuclear secrets for China. Although he eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor\, the sentencing judge apologized to him on behalf of the United States. \nAnd more recently\, the U.S. Government’s “China Initiative” targeted academics and scientists\, bringing indictments with great fanfare\, only to see many of the charges dropped\, dismissed\, or drastically reduced. \nThe Third Annual Fall Symposium of the Center on Asian Americans and the Law at Fordham Law School will explore issues presented by the Government’s prosecution over the years of Asian Americans for espionage and treason. We will first examine several historic cases and follow with a panel discussion on the Government’s more recent actions.

SUMMARY:Fordham Theatre MainStage 2025-26: Kentucky
DESCRIPTION:Come see Kentucky\, opening on Thursday\, November 14 at Pope Auditorium at Fordham’s Lincoln Center campus! \nLeah Nanako Winkler’s wry\, refreshing\, and playfully theatrical Kentucky is the second production of the MainStage 2025-26 season.

Directed by Kat Yen\, this is a poignant\, uproarious\, coming–of–age story about the radically different paths one must take to recover and heal from trauma. \nShow performances include: \nThursday\, November 14: 8 p.m.\nFriday\, November 15: 8 p.m.\nSaturday\, November 16: 8 p.m.\nThursday\, November 21: 8 p.m.\nFriday\, November 22: 8 p.m.\nSaturday\, November 23: 2 p.m. (Following the 2 p.m. show\, the director\, cast\, and crew will host a talkback for the audience)\nSaturday\, November 23: 8 p.m. \nTo reach Fordham Theatre Box Office\, email us at fclcboxoffice@gmail.com or call 212.636.6340.
