Showcasing manuscripts, letters, documents, books, drawings, and photographs, it celebrates the non-linear journey of research as reflected by a range of scholars throughout and beyond the University community. Demystifying the collaboration between researchers and curators, Nurturing Inquiry prompts conversation about the meaning and mechanics of research and inspires new work in the collections.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/calendar\/?event&amp;id=887908&amp;from=16January2014&amp;to=16January2014\">UofR website events calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at <strong>Staach<\/strong> (250 Cumberland St.) is <strong>Green Drinks<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>\"Green Drinks\" is a program that was started by the Center for Environmental Initiatives (CEI) as a monthly networking event where people in the environmental field and the sustainably minded meet in an informal setting to exchange ideas and make new contacts.

The place is Harlem where Black Coffee; the Poets Caf&eacute; has existed nearly 50 years under the ownership of the Black family. Poets and poetry fans have convened to celebrate Black Coffee's well-respected owner, rumored to be retiring and known to the community as Madame Black who in her parlor in 1922 established this place for Negro poets to convene, discuss issues and read poetry. Fans of poetry and jazz, and those nostalgic for the exciting movements of the past including the Harlem Renaissance and Black Arts Movement won't be disappointed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=15539\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Dune<\/strong> (David Lynch, U.S. 1984, 137 min., 35mm) tonight at 8 p.m.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>This cinematic adaptation of Frank Herbert's beloved series of science-fiction novels has a special place in Lynch's oeuvre. Despite bombing at the box office and receiving scathing criticism upon its release, Dune remains one of the most formative and visually exciting sci-fi films of the 1980s, displaying Lynch's vast, vivid imagination and directorial prowess in handling such an epic project. More recently, critics have begun to reassess the film, recognizing the difficult context of its production (Lynch was notoriously denied final cut) and the struggles of the audience to connect with the massive and complex Dune universe. Additionally, the film marks the first collaboration between Lynch and then-unknown Kyle Maclachlan, who would later star in Lynch's highly successful Blue Velvet (1986) and television series Twin Peaks (1990&mdash;91).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/dune-2\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Over at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> starting around 8:30 p.m. is <strong>The Toasters<\/strong> with fun ska from <!-- 2006-Jan-7: Krown-did some fun ska, throwing in some 1980's covers as well. --><strong>Mrs. Skannotto<\/strong>, good punk-rock from <!-- 2004-May-8: Bug Jar-better punk-rock than I think I remember (also 2001-Nov-3, Krown-decent punk band.

When creator Bill Watterson, retired the strip on New Year's Eve in 1995, devoted readers everywhere felt the void left by the departure of Calvin, Hobbes, and Watterson's other cast of characters, and many fans would never find a satisfactory replacement. Watterson has kept an extremely low profile in the nearly two decades since, living a very private life outside of Cleveland. This film is not a quest to find Watterson, or to invade his privacy, but an attempt to discover why his \"simple\" comic strip made such an impact in the 1980s and '90s, and why it still means so much to us today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/dear-mr-watterson\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hard Logic<\/strong> performs a the <strong>Lovin' Cup<\/strong> tonight starting around 9 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/lovincup.com\/happenings\/details.php?id=1771\">Lovin' Cup website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saturday, January 18<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today at 1 p.m. at the <strong>Little<\/strong> is a screening of <strong>The Genius of Marian<\/strong> (Banker White, Anna Fitch, U.S. 2013, 85 min.)<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Tackling the subject of Alzheimer's in the form a personal documentary, Banker White's The Genius of Marian examines the disease's impact on two family members: the director's mother, Pam, currently finding her own facilities diminishing, and her mother Marian, an accomplished artist who died from the disease.

With the rise of the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in the mid-1970s, this cinematic legacy was nearly eradicated&mdash;theaters forcibly closed, films destroyed, and directors, writers, and actors imprisoned, exiled, and executed. Through clips from the handful of surviving films, audio recordings of their soundtracks, visits to some of the sites where the films were shot or exhibited, and extended interviews with filmmakers, producers, performers, and devoted cinephiles, Chou reconstructs this tragically but intriguingly lost world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/golden-slumbers\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 9 p.m. at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> is <strong>Little Vikings<\/strong>, <strong>The Straw House<\/strong>, <strong>Uncertainty<\/strong>, and <strong>Eggs Benedict<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/12\/rochester-ny-little-vikings-w-the-straw-house-uncertainty-eggs-benedict\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, January 22<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is an <strong>Exhibition<\/strong> of <strong>(en) Gendered<\/strong> titled <strong>Words and Works: Dialogues in Intersectionality<\/strong> in the <strong>Rush Rhees Library<\/strong> <strong>Gallery<\/strong> at the <strong>Art and Music Library<\/strong>, on display through February 27.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>\"Words and Works: Dialogues in Intersectionality,\" is the theme for juried undergraduate art exhibit (en) Gendered 2014.

Shot with Ozu's trademark sublime simplicity, the story follows an elderly couple's visit to their middle-aged, bourgeois children's home and examines the widening gulf between the generations in modern society. Only their widowed daughter-in-law, played with touching compassion and humility by Setsuko Hara, reaches out to connect with them. Hara's tender performance as their widowed daughter-in-law, coupled with Ozu's masterfully crafted cinematography and storytelling culminate in an enduring, emotionally gripping family portrait.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/tokyo-story-2\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 9 p.m. at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> is <strong>The Reactions<\/strong>, and the <strong>Michael Vadala Trio<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2014\/01\/rochester-ny-the-reactions-final-show-w-michael-vadala-trio-tba-teenset-45-dance-party-to-follow-bands-at-midnight\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-13]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here's what's going on this week:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2091],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jayceland-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2671"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2721,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2671\/revisions\/2721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
