The John D. Calandra Italian American Institute, Queens College, CUNY presents the
“Documented Italians” Film and Video Series
Spring 2010
MERICA (2007), 65 min.
Federico Ferrone, Michele Manzolini, and Francesco Ragazzi, dirs.
6 p.m.
John D. Calandra Italian American Institute, Queens College, CUNY, 25 West 43rd Street, 17th Floor, New York, NY
Free and open to the public.
Seating is Limited
Please call (212) 642-2094 to pre-register with the Calandra Institute. Be prepared to show a photo ID to the building’s concierge.
Merica investigates the complexities of migration and the migrant’s desire for national belonging using the parallel stories of Italian immigration to Brazil in the 1800s and the current Italian-Brazilian migration to Italy. These “return migrants,” who have a strong attraction to Italy, face considerable challenges in a country still plagued by the difficulty of integrating outsiders. The film investigates why return migrants, while officially recognized as Italians, are not viewed as such by Italian-born citizens in everyday life. Ultimately, the film poses the question: if nationality does not create a sense of belonging, what does?
Post-screening discussion led by Guido Tintori, Fulbright-Schuman Scholar, New York University.

Caffè Lena presents
50th Annivesary Decade Concert: The 1980s
Featuring Mary McCaslin and Garnet Rogers
8 p.m.
Caffè Lena, 47 Phila St., Saratoga Springs, NY, 518-583-0022
Cost: $25 (How to get tickets)
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, Caffè Lena is presenting a five-part Decade Concert Series. Tonight we mark the 1980s with Mary McCaslin and Garent Rogers. Mary McCaslin emerged onto the folk scene in the 1970s with a new ballad style that made her one of the top folk artists of the decade. Working totally outside of the Nashville sphere, singing of prairies and the Old West in almost mythic terms, her own audience was confined to the folk circuit, yet her unique style paved the way for country-folk-pop stars such as Nanci Griffith and Mary-Chapin Carpenter. Mary was an honored name on the Caffè Lena roster in both the ‘70s and ‘80s, performing frequently with her husband Jim Ringer, and later on her own. Mary handpicked Canadian singer-songwriter Garnet Rogers to partner with her for this special celebration of the 1980s at Caffè Lena. After years of working with his brother Stan Rogers, Garnet’s first solo album was released in 1984 and was followed by another album every two years into the 1990s. He sings in cinematic detail about people who are not obvious heroes, carrying his audience from song to song with memorable stories and quips. With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post), his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet continues to be an audience favorite at Caffè Lena and other great stages across North America.

Tonight he is celebrating the release of his third full-length album, Robots and Romance, a collection of twelve “short films” in song, inspired by the dramatic stories found at drive-in movie theaters. Each song takes the perspective of a different character in a compelling personal narrative—a desperate man attempts a bank robbery, an amateur radio DJ holds his community together during Hurricane Katrina, and a group of miners struggle to survive in a cave-in. Phil will be accompanied by Gary Moon on vocals and guitar, and Jeff Kimball on mandolin and accordion.

Appropriately, the theme of the 2010 Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show & Challenge will be Circles and Wheels on the Byway. The Great Lakes Seaway Trail is one of America’s Byways, designated by the Federal Highway Administration as destinations for authentic American experiences. The nonprofit organization that promotes travel along the freshwater shoreline of the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Niagara River and Lake Erie in New York and Pennsylvania hosts an annual quilt event at its Great Lakes Seaway Trail Discovery Center in Sackets Harbor, NY. Great Lakes Seaway Trail Foundation Chair Pope Vickers says, “This quilt show is unlike any other in the region because it brings together quilting, artistry and the travel experience that is unique to the Great Lake Seaway Trail. For the 2010 show, we especially encourage new quilt artists to enter with a wallhanging or quilt as a way to engage the spirit of this show.”

The annual show fills the three floors and nine rooms of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Discovery Center that was built with native limestone in 1817 as the Union Hotel. The show also features national and international quilting artists’ creations, vendors, demonstrators, and an exhibit by the Orleans County Country Barn Quilt Trail, a 22-mile loop tour off the Great Lakes Seaway Trail byway to see more than 40 barns painted with quilt block patterns. Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show & Challenge rules and guidelines are posted online at www.seawaytrail.com. Quilts and wallhangings of all sizes are accepted. There will be Viewer’s Choice balloting for cash prizes with a special prize for the best depiction of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail travel experience as represented using the wheels and circles theme.

The An-sky Institute for Jewish Culture presents
The Tarras Legacy: Celebrating the King of American Klezmer Music
with internationally renowned clarinetist and musicologist Joel Rubin (University of Virginia)
3:00 p.m.
Center for Traditional Music and Dance, 32 Broadway, Suite 1314, New York, NY 10004. (Between Morris St. & Exchange Place), 212-571-1555
This special multi-media presentation and concert will feature live performance as well as rare video footage and photographs of Dave Tarras from CTMD’s Archive. Clarinetist Dave Tarras (1895-1989) remains the most influential and well-known American klezmer musician of all time. Through his compositions, live performances and recordings, the Ukrainian-born virtuoso was the unrivaled leader in the creation of a uniquely American klezmer sound. While the popularity of klezmer amongst American Jews declined precipitously after WWII, Tarras’s career was reborn in the late 1970s through a project conducted by the Center for Traditional Music and Dance (then called the Balkan Arts Center). The project played a major role in sparking an international revival of klezmer, and thirty years after his death, Tarras remains an indelible force in the performance and conception of klezmer.

Taller Boricua presents:
4 SOLO EXHIBITIONS BY:
Keith O. Anderson, Melissa A. Calderon, William Coronado AND Chanika Svetvilas
Curated by Marcos Dimas and Christine Licata
Opening Friday, January 22, 2010, 6-9 p.m.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 p.m.
Thursday 1-7 p.m., Closed Sunday and Monday
Taller Boricua Galleries at the Julia De Burgos Latino Cultural Center, 1680 Lexington Avenue, NYC, N.Y. 10029, 212.831.4333
For more information, contact the Taller Boricua: contact@tallerboricua.org

Keith O. Anderson creates site-specific installations and objects that transform unassuming materials such as raisins, cotton puffs, black-eyed peas, clothespins, and straight pins into an unconventional visual vocabulary of social and political critique and commentary. In “Matière Première /Raw Material,” Anderson’s work reveals the transitory relationships and nature of everyday items and symbols, offering unexpected meanings and insights into the world around us.

In “Osmosis,” Melissa A. Calderon incorporates installation, photography, and sculpture to explore the concepts of multicultural identity and gender. Her work examines the stereotypes and the controversial symbols of the transnational Latino experience. Calderon integrates the duality present in acculturation by paying homage to the significant contributions and traditions of Latino culture, as well as challenging the negative, commercialized ideologies that have become synonymous with it.

In William Coronado’s paintings, flesh becomes the medium through which the boundaries between the metaphysical and the physical aspects of human existence are explored. At once gestural and corporeal, his exhibition “Skin Deep” simultaneously embodies the psychology of existence and the biology of being. Through a combination of distortion and representation, Coronado challenges the viewer to experience separate realities as well as reexamine the broader issues of identity and gender.

Chanika Svetvilas’ site-specific installation “Import / Export,” uses familiar commercial and domestic objects and materials such as toy soldiers, rubber gloves, and plastic, plaid shopping bags as metaphors to transcribe the cultural and social challenges within migration and immigration. Her multidisciplinary work also includes layers of international corporate logos merged with global branding. These iconic, self-referential symbols reveal the paradoxical relationships between consumerism, commodities, transculturation, and ultimately, globalization.
