[Event] Media & Asian Globalization: China and India, 1977-Present
Friday, March 29, 2013 | 2:15-7:30 pm
Saturday, March 30, 2013 | 9:15 am-4:45 pm
Michelson Theater, 721 Broadway, 6th Floor
The extraordinary growth of China and India over the past three decades, involving the two most populous countries in the world, has set in motion a process of social change that, in its scale and speed, is without parallel in recorded history. The roughly contemporaneous entry of China and India into a period of rapid capitalist growth and market consumption offers important questions for humanistic inquiry. This symposium seeks to engage in productive conversations from trans-Asian and trans-media perspectives, as well as investigate the historical conditions from which the reform-era cultural productions arise and cross borders of one kind of another.
Cosponsored by Global Research Initiatives, NYU Provost; Cinema Studies, Tisch School of the Arts; The Humanities Initiative at NYU; Department of Media, Culture and Communication, NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.

Interesting Exhibit Just Opened at MoMA
A Trip From Here to There
March 15-July 30, 2013
A Trip from Here to There explores practices and works generated by walking and wandering. As members of exploratory expeditions and surveys, painters and draftsmen have long played key roles in the plotting and investigation of place. However, in the second half of the 20th century, the journey itself became both medium and subject for many artists. In some works, a walk or sojourn is precisely documented via maps and charts, dates and times, while in others, wandering's inherent detours and deviations are exploited, resulting in collages of impressions of graphs of explored terrain. For some artists, drawing is both nomadic and solitary, while for others it is a way to engage with one's environment and its inhabitants.

TONIGHT!: Gaza Kitchen
Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey
March 12, 2013 | 5:00 pm
411 Lafayette, Floor 5
Brought to you by NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development
Authors Laila El-Haddad and Maggie Schmitt present an intimate perspective never offered in the media: how conflict and siege play out in the daily lives of ordinary people, and how people--particularly women--manage to create little spaces of vitality and joy in the midst of it all.
Come celebrate the launch of an exceptional work that provides rare insight into Gaza's culture and cuisine. A cookbook and more than a cookbook, The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey brings together traditional recipes from the Gaza Strip based on extensive interviews with home cooks, and uses profiles of these cooks, as well as beautiful documentary photography to explore the history, economy and daily life of the territory.
