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:Enterprise Applications of AI: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Tired of the GenAI hype? So are many businesses! While they will commit to spending more than a trillion dollars on AI applications in the coming years\, new and truly transformative applications have yet to emerge. In contrast\, the potential risks and concerns regarding AI—from unethical use\, to invasion of privacy\, to the possibility of industrial or military catastrophes—are increasingly becoming part of social and political debate. \nWhere will businesses find true AI-led transformation? What capabilities beyond foundation models do we need to build in-house in order to exploit the full potential of AI? Will AI lead to further inequalities within and across countries? What are some challenges businesses will face as AI legislation takes shape\, and how can we avert risk and potential disaster? \nJoin us for a provocative and enlightening panel discussion with industry experts. This event is presented by the Center for Digitial Transformation at the Fordham University Gabelli School of Business. \nA reception will follow.

SUMMARY:Undocumenting Abuse: Migration\, Power\, and the Production of Invisible Victims
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Susan B. Reynolds\, Ph.D.\, Winner of the 2024 New Scholar Essay Prize for Catholic Studies in the Americas. \nClergy sexual violence in immigrant communities is an understudied dimension of the abuse crisis in the Catholic Church. Yet records reveal how immigrant-serving parishes were regularly treated as dumping grounds for serially abusive clergy. There\, abusers targeted children from poor\, vulnerable\, and undocumented families\, silencing victims with threats of deportation and further violence. This lecture will call for a reorientation in the study of clergy sexual abuse toward these peripheries. Drawing on archival records from the 1960s to 1980s\, it will interrogate the complex politics of documentation at work in migrant abuse cases. It will further examine how a post-Vatican II theological and pastoral imagination of intimacy with the poor\, refracted through prisms of state\, ecclesial\, and clerical dominance\, helped to create conditions for the production of invisible victims.
