International Summit on Domestic/Family Violence During the COVID Era
The Summit will provide a platform for: victims-survivors of domestic violence to share their experiences and concerns; experts to present comparative worldwide findings; program leaders and caregivers to share best practices in responding to, treating, and preventing domestic violence; and governments and policymakers to share effective policies.
A key goal of the Summit is to re-energize the commitment of all stakeholders, including individuals, families, community institutions, such as faith-based, educational, media, cultural and other organizations, and governments on local, national, regional and international levels for a world free of domestic and all other forms of violence. The Summit will be recorded and live-streamed on social media.

¿Qué puede aportar la educación estética a una democracia? ¿Por qué podría importar?

Libertades Literarias: Afrolatinoamérica escribe
Coordinado con el seminario “Libertades literarias: Afrolatinoamérica escribe,” facilitado por la profesora Doris Sommer, este ciclo de conversaciones virtuales explora técnicas y estrategias literarias con brillantes autores. Sus creaciones inspiran a soñar, pensar, reflexionar y recordar porque, por definición, el arte es irreverente con la realidad y por eso es capaz de alentar cambios. El valor agregado de estas conversaciones a las importantes entrevistas ya realizadas sobre temas y experiencias personales, será la atención particular al arte de escribir desde la encrucijada de culturas llamada Afro Latino América.
18 de noviembre, 2:30-3:30 pm EST Conversación con Fabienne Kanor

Engine for Art, Democracy and Justice: Love Transmutation, Episode 8
Initiated by Dr. María Magdalena Campos-Pons, “Engine for Art, Democracy and Justice” (EADJ) is a platform for creative and social exploration that takes visual representation as a focus for developing new knowledge and new practices.
EADJ’s eighth and final episode will look at the viral pandemic in terms of connectivity, migration, and how internal vulnerability manifests itself externally. While public rhetoric portrays COVID-19 as a foreign invader, the virus itself is not an agent. It doesn’t invade us; we make decisions, or do not, through our human connections. With art, driven by love, we can adjust how these connections are made.
Moderator: Susan H. Edwards, Director and CEO, Frist Art Museum, Nashville, US
Speakers: María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Cornelius Vanderbilt Endowed Chair and Professor of Fine Arts, Artist, EADJ Founder, Nashville, TN, US; T.S. Harvey, Poet and Associate Professor of Global Public Health, Environmental Protection, Doctor-Patient Communication, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, US; Samar Ali, Lawyer, Entrepreneur, Founding President and CEO, Millions of Conversations, Nashville, TN, US.
Respondent: Edward Fischer, Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Anthropology
Artist interventions: Pre-Texts (Jamaal Sheats and María Magdalena Campos-Pons)
