Silenciados the Voice of the Voiceless LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS A film by Maximón Monihan SYNOPSIS "Chaplin meets Eraserhead” in this magical-neo-realist, modern day silent film. LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS takes us inside the mind and heartbreak of Olga, a deaf teenager brought from Latin America to New York City, under the false promise of attending a “Christian Sign Language School”. Upon arrival we enter a world of immigrant trafficking, and life is turned upside-down as she's enslaved by an international criminal ring. Forced to beg on the subway, Olga uses courage, cunning, and even humor, to face an unimaginable nightmare-on-loop that ravages the audience. Based on a real case broken by the NYPD. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT For years I had been noticing deaf people on the subway selling I read about this in the newspapers and became obsessed with trinkets. In a New York overloaded with in-your-face, aggressive telling this story to the public. The news came and went in one busy panhandling as performance art, my interactions with the deaf week– people moved on, I didn’t. I kept coming back to the story, trinket-peddlers were eye-raising moments. The person would put consumed with sharing what I believe is the perfect allegory for the trinket down next to you, and trust that by the time they human greed. A decade later, the film is finally in front of you. returned from the other end of the train, you had read the card– the one that said, “I am deaf. Selling this for $1 to pay for my education. I wanted to make something challenging and cinematically unique. Please help. God bless you.” By then, you would have decided Of course silent films are the oldest form. But I wanted to do a whether to offer a dollar, or ignore them. Unlike other panhandlers, modern silent, not a pastiche or homage to the golden era, and not the trinket sellers did not look people in the eye, and consciously as a gimmick to signify deafness. LA VOZ is a fully integrated silent made it a point to avoid invading anyone’s personal space. movie, with a vibratory, low frequency sound design that puts the audience into Olga’s headspace. Telling this story, in her language, In 1997, the NYPD uncovered what was really going on behind this was the driving force behind LA VOZ. illicit operation, and it became public knowledge that the trinket peddlers were slaves to an international crime syndicate. They had been lured to the US under false pretenses, and forced to do this demoralizing, repetitive work. They were all indeed deaf, but that was the only part of their routine that was factual. Modern day slavery, taking place in the largest city of the 'land of the free'– right in front of us, and nobody recognized it. DIRECTOR’S BIOGRAPHY Maximón Monihan (1969, Washington) was raised in Seattle’s Central District. He was a regular installment in the city’s street kid/punk scene that served as the foundation for the classic documentary film "Streetwise" (in which he made an appearance). By the late-80s, he was sponsored by the legendary H-Street skateboard team and was featured in, and worked on, numerous landmark skate films, most notably "Shackle Me Not" and "Hokus Pokus". It was during this time Monihan earned a degree in Philosophy and Cultural Studies from University of California, Santa Cruz while concomitantly traveling throughout Europe, Asia, Central America and Africa as a professional skateboarder. Studying abroad meant that, while not skateboarding, he worked as a roaming research assistant for his renowned academic mentors, Professors Angela Davis, Akasha Hull, David Anthony, and Herman Gray. By the mid-90s he relocated to Brooklyn and stopped skating professionally to instead make skate films for his former sponsors. He also began working as a film critic for Pseudo.com, the first ever online TV network. In 2005, Monihan launched his own production company, Bricolagista!, and has shot a number of short films, online TV series and music videos for artists ranging from Prince Paul, Jean Grae, Talib Kweli, Thunderheist, Greg Nice and Kool Keith to Dead Kids, I.R.O.K., MC Paul Barman and Negroes On Ice. Monihan still lives in Brooklyn. LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS is his first feature film.

  • Lee Quiñones Black and Blue Lee Quiñones Black and Blue
    LEE QUIÑONES BLACK AND BLUE LEE QUIÑONES BLACK AND BLUE Charlie James Gallery is very proud to present Black and Blue, our second solo show with New York-based artist Lee Quiñones. The exhibition takes its name from the show’s centerpiece painting that focuses on our collective witness to the horrific murder of George Floyd on May 25th, 2020, and in a subliminal way, reminds us of the continual silencing of black and brown voices across generation and geography, figures such as Stephen Biko in room 619 and the countless souls abducted in America’s original sin of 1619. The Black and Blue piece makes clear reference to mobile phone technology and to the gravitational pull of social media that we all use in some shape or form every day of our lives. Aside from its semi hidden central figures, Black and Blue contains an array of 569 individually painted I-phone screens, one for each second of the 9 minute 29 second video that marked the murder of Floyd. The painting sets the tone for the rest of the show which features paintings and drawings dealing with historical social justice fault lines, from the desegregation of Little Rock Central High in Little Rock, AR to the ongoing displacement of Native Americans. These new works are conceived around plays on common phrases such as “Loss for words” becoming “Lost for words” and derogatory statements such as “Get Off My Lawn!” countered with “Get Off My Dawn!” Supporting the political nucleus of the show, Lee will present a suite of “bombed” canvas paintings – expressive pieces acknowledging Lee’s graffiti roots executed in a paint booth fashioned within Lee’s studio.

  • ON the RECORD: a Conversation with Directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering
    ON THE RECORD Directed by Kirby Dick & Amy Ziering USA / 2020 / 97 mins Press Contacts Sales Contact - UTA Ryan Mazie, 609-410-2067 Rena Ronson, [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS With their groundbreaking films on sexual assault in the military (The Invisible War) and on college campuses (The Hunting Ground), directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering shook the established view of sexual assault in America, moving it from an isolated “he said-she said” narrative to a sweeping indictment of systemic violence and rape culture. Now, in the #MeToo era that their films helped to usher in, comes ON THE RECORD, their third documentary in the trilogy. A searing examination of the costs of coming forward, the film follows Drew Dixon as she wrestles with the decision to go public and share her story with the NYTimes. ON THE RECORD takes you into the world of Def Jam Records in the ‘90s, where Dixon was a rising star in an industry rife with misogyny and sexual harassment. As Dixon recounts in the film, from her first day on the job, she managed to deflect and move past ongoing harassment, until she was wholly caught off guard one fateful night and brutally accosted by Simmons. More than two decades later, ON THE RECORD documents the devastating toll this recounted act exacted not only on Drew’s life but on the lives of several other women who describe having been assaulted by Simmons. Deeply illuminating and packed with powerful and revelatory insights, ON THE RECORD’s narrative tale is punctuated by interviews with prominent black thought leaders, activists, journalists and academics, who speak about the unique binds African-American women face when dealing with sexual violence in a society still plagued by racism.

Scholars working in a number of disciplines are increasingly recognizing hip-hop culture and rap music as subjects wor- thy of attention. Consequently, a great deal of scholarly study and writing on hip-hop and rap is being carried out, drawing from fields including African American studies, history, linguistics, literature, musicology, soci- ology, and women's studies.

  • Visual Literacy (Images and Photographs) Every Day, We See and Are Exposed to Hundreds, Perhaps Thousands, of Images That Pass Through Our Radar Screens
    Visual Literacy (Images and Photographs) Every day, we see and are exposed to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of images that pass through our radar screens. Everyone, it seems, is vying for our attention. Unfortunately, not many of us know how to "read images.’ One of the ways to teach critical thinking and "media literacy" is to start with the still image. In many arts classrooms, “visual literacy” is introduced: the methods and techniques artists use to create meaning in paintings: that knowledge can now be applied to photographs as well. SC State Department of Education Visual & Performing Arts Standards (link to 2010 revision) 2010 Media Arts Standard Standard 3 (Media Literacy): The student will demonstrate the ability to access, analyze, interpret and create media (communications) in all forms. Teachers will recognize “analyze,” “interpret” and “create” as three of the verbs belonging to the Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning higher order thinking skills. Analyze (or analysis) is defined as: “breaking down objects or ideas into simpler parts and seeing how the parts relate and are organized” (source) Interpret is defined as: “to bring out the meaning of” whatever is seen (source) Creating is defined as: “putting the elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganising elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning or producing” (Source) Creating sits at the top a new Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy.

  • Theard-Thesis-Final April 7 2010
    FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY Miami, Florida BACK IN THE DAYS AND INTO THE FUTURE: DIASPORA AESTHETICS IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF JAMEL SHABAZZ A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in AFRICAN AND AFRICAN DIASPORA STUDIES by Noelle Theard 2010 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION At age nine, Jamel Shabazz was introduced to photography by his father, who kept a signed copy of Leonard Freed's Black in White America on the family's coffee table. Intrigued by Freed's provocative images of both Southern and urban life, Shabazz knew then it was his calling to document his community and the people who gave it life. Photography has given Shabazz a sense of purpose, allowing him to connect with the people he encounters on a daily basis. By connecting with his subjects, complimenting their style, and recognizing their potential-and then in turn publishing these images for the world at large to celebrate in a small but meaningful way Shabazz has been able to counteract the damage society can wreak on self-esteem. Having worked as a corrections officer in New York City for twenty years, Shabazz has witnessed the worst in humanity, yet he remains a humanist dedicated to preserving the legacy of our time, shooting with an eye for the future while preserving the present as a document of our collective past.1 This thesis engages the multidisciplinary field of African diaspora studies to contextualize the photography of Jamel Shabazz in light of four major concepts drawn from black cultural history: the black aesthetic, the black arts movement, hip-hop culture, and diaspora aesthetics.
