SUMMARY:Reckoning\, Remembering\, Restoring: A Symposium on the History of Racial Violence in Kentucky
DESCRIPTION:Reckoning\, Remembering\, Restoring: A Symposium on the History of Racial Violence in Kentucky\nSaturday\, November 9th\, 2024\nLyric Theater & Cultural Arts Center\, 300  E. Third Street Lexington. KY 40508\nCo-Sponsors: The Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies\, Kentucky Humanities\, LexHistory\, and The Gaines Center for Humanities\n  \nThis event will explore how digital humanities—through databases\, newspapers\, census data\, legal cases\, and archives—can shine a light on the widespread racial violence that contradicts the myth of Kentucky as a racially progressive state. \nInspired by Dr. George C. Wright’s pivotal work\, Racial Violence in Kentucky\, 1865 – 1940: Lynchings\, Mob Rule and “Legal Lynchings\,” this symposium is a public\, community-focused discussion on the extralegal and legislative efforts that violently enforced Jim Crow laws in Kentucky\, often without holding the perpetrators accountable. \nA diverse group of community members\, local organizations\, library professionals\, and university academics will share ideas and research on past civil and human rights violations against African American Kentuckians. We will also explore attempts at restorative justice and how new technologies can help reimagine a more historically accurate and nuanced history of race in Kentucky. \nADMISSION IS FREE.

SUMMARY:Meander Double Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Decade (2024) Paul Rodgers \n  \n“Decade” is an experimental documentary of the animator’s upbringing\, chronicling from birth to adolescence his journeys at the intersection of a prescribed faith and a larger world. Constructed from family photos\, this animated commentary depicts the relationship between a religious mother and her son whose coached memorization and recitation of a Rosary prayer evolves from empty mimicry and absurd tedium\, to comforting ritual. “Decade” is a dream-like\, non-narrative slideshow that uses dark humor and metaphor to capture the messiness of growth and the transformation of our belief systems. \n  \nMeander (2024) Lexi Bass \n  \nAs artificial intelligence replaces workers in our increasingly elderly global population\, companies engineering AI race robots amidst human inequities and emerging problems of AI sentience. The sum spells disaster for the human race in the dystopian world of Meander\, which evokes both ancient Greek mythology and near-future science fiction. Meander finds herself destitute in the Underworld with no way to finance escape other than offering her biological potential for surrogate pregnancy up to dubious experimentation in an underground facility. Meanwhile\, filmmaker/narrator\, Lexi Bass\, recounts her experiences of pregnancy and motherhood at the precipice of age 40 and the loss of her own mother shortly after\, questioning the future of humanity at the precipice of Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Super-Intelligence.
