DESCRIPTION:What leads someone to take another’s life? What do we owe those whom we incarcerate? What is\, or what should be\, the purpose of the United States carceral system? How can the impulses that lead to violence be transformed\, and what role can art play in that transformation? Are there limits to redemption? \n“Rap and Redemption on Death Row: Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose Behind Bars” seeks to explore the answers to these difficult questions through the testimony of Alim Braxton (a.k.a. Rrome Alone)—a writer\, rapper\, and activist living on North Carolina’s Death Row. Join COMPACT and BEJI as we welcome Alim and author Mark Katz\, the John P. Barker Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, to Brandeis University for a community book release and discussion. \nThis event is hosted by The Vic ’63 and Bobbi Samuels ’63 Center for Community Partnerships and Civic Transformation (COMPACT) and the Brandeis Educational Justice Initiative (BEJI) and co-sponsored by the Brandeis University Library\, Brandeis University Center for Spiritual Life\, Basement Records\, C.A.R.E\, and the Muslim Student Association. It will take place during DEIS Impact 2025 and Civic Learning Week. \nThanks to generous funding from our sponsors\, “Rap and Redemption on Death Row” is  available digitally for free through the Brandeis Library for faculty\, staff\, and students and two copies are now available through the Waltham Public Library.

SUMMARY:Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver
DESCRIPTION:Rose Art Museum\, Gerald S. and Sandra Fineberg Gallery \n“Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver\,” the artist’s first-ever museum exhibition in New England\, brings together over 30 works of art\, some rarely seen\, that span over six decades of Carrington’s prolific career. Born into an Anglo-Irish family\, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) strove to free herself from the gendered strictures imposed on her by society. Her rebellious spirit found refuge in art and literature\, leading her to join the surrealist movement in Europe and\, later\, immigrate to Mexico\, where she developed her visionary art.\nThe show explores Carrington’s creative and technical versatility\, working in a variety of mediums\, such as tempera\, gouache\, acrylic\, oil\, pencil\, pen\, and fiber while offering insight into her artistic process of conjuring fantastical worlds rich in magic and symbolism.

DESCRIPTION:Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University \nIn Conversation: Catherine Opie \nCelebrated for her powerful and dynamic photographs documenting members of vibrant subcultures\, Catherine Opie has long been searching for what she describes as “that fine art Americana image.” This search led to collaboration with Ron Athey and the creation of her “Trojan Whore” series. This series of monumental large-format Polaroid portraits captured Athey’s performance work\, which explored desire\, sexuality\, and trauma through BDSM and extreme body art\, bringing Los Angeles’ underground queer scene to the mainstream.\nJoin Opie\, in conversation with Tom King\, Associate Professor of English at Brandeis University\, for a discussion of her collaboration with Athey\, her interest in probing Americans’ culturally constructed identities\, her artistic practice\, and explorations of queer communities.\nRegister now.
