Carlos Reads Book Club: Spiral to the Stars

Event Location: Board Room Department / Organization: Carlos Museum Membership Link: https://carlos.emory.edu/join “We constantly urge the nation-state to honor grievance claims. However, if we imagine our relatives not as subjects of the state but as the protagonists of a star story, or of a modern-day migration from the country to the city, to the in-between places, it changes the energy of the experiences that fill the spaces of our lives. They fill with love, energy, power, and self-determination. That is este-cate sovereignty, and it is a form of sovereignty that those who labor for freedom can embrace.” - Laura Harjo All communities are teeming with energy, spirit, and knowledge. In Spiral to the Stars, geographer Laura Harjo activates this dynamism to discuss Indigenous community planning from a Mvskoke (Muscogee) perspective. Harjo weaves Mvskoke narratives throughout the text, vividly demonstrating that theories come from lived and felt experiences, and that Mvskoke communities have what they need to dream, imagine, speculate, and activate the wishes of ancestors, contemporary kin, and future relatives. Through these narratives the author questions what community is, how to reclaim it, and how to embark on the process of envisioning what and where the community can be. Miranda Kyle, curator of the Indigenous Arts of the Americas, will lead a discussion of Spiral to the Stars, exploring Harjo’s four methodologies—radical sovereignty, community knowledge, collective power, and emergence geographies— designed to build genuine community relationships, knowledge, and power. Space is limited and registration is required. Fee: $35 for members, $45 for nonmembers. The cost of the program includes a copy of the book. “When Laura Harjo defines futurity as ‘the act of living out the futures we wish for in a contemporary moment’ she refines and extends understandings of the timelessness of our common dreams.... but what’s most amazing and beautiful is how they are moved to stay with her where she has always stayed in movement—on the path of a tradition as agile as it is rooted, as essentially radical in its transformative memories and commitments as in the way it lifts off into the depths of what it can be, which is what it is.” —Fred Moten, New York University

Entangled Histories: Photography and Textile in Africa

Event Location: Ackerman Hall Department / Organization: Carlos Museum Membership Link: https://carlos.emory.edu/join Photography has since its inception been defined in relation to other media. In 1834, five years before the public announcement of the invention of the daguerreotype, Henry Fox Talbot was experimenting with what he called "photogenic drawings," literally sketches produced by light. From the 19th century onward, photography was regularly compared to painting. In 1981, Peter Galassi famously sought to settle the debate with his MoMA exhibition arguing that photography was "the legitimate child of the Western pictorial tradition." Scholars have discussed photography's affinity to sculpture in their shared desire to visualize three-dimensionality, and enable reproducibility. What if photography’s history was entangled with that of textile? Which artists, techniques, and aesthetics would become visible? Expanding from previous research on portraiture and photography in Senegal, Giulia Paoletti, associate professor in the Department of Art at the University of Virginia and visiting associate professor in the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University, will explore photography’s—historical, material and theoretical—entanglements with textile taking the African continent as its nexus. Examples will include the earliest portraits featuring indigo cloths from Senegal in the 1850s; Seydou Keïta’s hand-tinted vintage prints inspired by abstracted patterns and “off-beat” phrasings of strip-woven fabrics; and contemporary artists such as Sasha Huber (b.1975), Monica de Miranda (b. 1976) and Ibrahima Thiam (b. 1976), whose intermedial practice is anchored in the mechanics and poetics of textile. By centering Africa as a privileged site with exceptional photographic and textile histories, this talk seeks to propose new frames to rethink both. This program is free and open to the public, and registration is required. This lecture is offered in conjunction with the exhibition Insistent Presence: Contemporary African Art from the Chazen Collection, on view until December 14, 2025. The galleries will be open for viewing prior to the program from 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Image: Unidentified photographer, Portrait of a Toucouleur woman from Saint Louis of Senegal, c. 1850s.
