Revisions: Celebrating 50 Years of the UMBC Photography Collections

Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Revisions: Celebrating Fifty Years of the UMBC Photography Collections, featuring highlights and lesser-known gems from UMBC’s considerable photography holdings. Looking back at a half-century of collecting, the exhibition offers thematic groupings and visual juxtapositions of photographs from the nineteenth century to the present. The display asks viewers to approach the history of photography with fresh eyes. Among the artists featured are Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Cary Beth Cryor, Darryl Curran, Judy Dater, Robert Frank, Roland Freeman, Ralph Gibson, Lewis Hine, Lisette Model, and Alfred Stieglitz.

Stupid F*cking Bird

Proscenium Theatre

UMBC Theatre presents Stupid F*cking Bird by Aaron Posner, sort of adapted from The Seagull by Anton Chekhov, with songs by Aaron Posner and James Sugg, directed by Gerrad Alex Taylor. In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, art and life. Stupid F*cking Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.

Humanities Forum — Adrian De Leon

Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

In this Humanities Forum talk, Adrian De Leon, Assistant Professor, History, New York University, discusses Diaspora’s Boondocks: Hinterlands in Filipino American History. How were the native people from the margins of empire, from Christianized lowlands peasants to sovereign indigenous people in the mountainous highlands, thrust into the center of late Spanish and American imperial projects of race-making across the Pacific? In this talk, Adrian De Leon re-routes the history of Filipino American migration to its indigenous roots in the bundok (Tagalog: the hinterland) of Northern Luzon.
