DATE: Wednesday, November 14 TIME: 5:00pm LOCATION: Mathers Museum of World Cultures, Indiana University, Bloomington 416 North Indiana Avenue, Bloomington, www.mathers.indiana.edu Gerrie Casey (Labor Studies, IUSB) will discuss her collection of Cuban posters from the 1960s and 1970s currently on exhibit at the Mathers Museum in Bloomington. The lecture will explore the historical and artistic conditions that shaped the "hey-day" of Cuban poster art, tracing the complex and sometimes contradictory impulses that sought to integrate militant politics with exuberant and often irreverent aesthetic styles, drawing upon earlier poster traditions from the Mexican and Russian Revolutions, as well as 1960s psychedelic pop art. The exhibit and lecture are sponsored by CUBAmistad and will be free and open to the public.
Each year, for the past four years local singers have gathered to use their voices and their instruments to carry on this tradition. This year singers include Baily Williams, Jane Pellauchaud, Anival Fausto, the Groups Milk and Bread and Acoustic Justice and of course, David James, Michiana’s constant voice for labor and social justice. All are welcome! Bring your Labor Hearts and Voices. For more information contact: Paul Mishler (paulc.mishler@gmail.com) 520-4469
When: Monday April 30, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Where: Fiddler's Hearth South Bend.
On Monday April 30 Fiddler’s Hearth in South Bend will host the 4th Annual South Bend Sings for Labor at 8:00 pm. This event, honoring Workers History Month and May Day was developed by Paul Mishler, Professor of Labor Studies at IUSB to bring together the lively acoustic music community and the labor and social justice communities. In the United States, Joe Hill, Aunt Molly Jackson, Florence Reece, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger who sang songs about social justice and labor rights helped create the singer/songwriter tradition. This tradition was continued in the 1960s by Joan Baez, Phil Ochs and others, and today continues with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello, Anne Feeny and Holly Near. This tradition also developed a strong presence in Latin America as the Nueva Cancion (New Song) movement of the 1960s and 1970s with such singers as the Cubans Sylvio Rodriguez and Pablo Milanes, the Argentinian Mercedes Sosa, the Puerto Rican Roy Brown and the vocal groups Quilapayun and Inti-Illimani from Chile.
