SUMMARY:Outside the Wire: Writing Grief — Public Panel
DESCRIPTION:The Writers House at Rutgers University-Camden will host an in-person panel for veterans\, family members\, and the public highlighting the narratives and experiences of American veterans throughout the country’s history of conflict. The event is supported by an NJCH grant. \nABOUT THE PANEL \nOutside the Wire is a multi-format humanities project that highlights the narratives and experiences of American veterans throughout the country’s history of conflict. This year’s panel—featuring veterans\, writers\, and scholars whose work intersects with issues of concern to veterans and service members—will explore the diverse ways veterans\, active duty service members\, and their families have responded to and been impacted by grief. How have veterans written about grief throughout history? How has the pandemic shifted the ways veterans write or discuss grief? What does it mean to write about one’s grief or trauma with an audience in mind? In this panel\, we’ll be discussing the ways grief appears in and shapes each panelist’s work. From the violence of the battlefield\, to the aftermath of war\, to the outcome disparities of the G.I. Bill\, to grieving the person one used to be before their service\, the patterns of individualized and structural loss and grief in the armed forces have sometimes echoed and sometimes diverged from the conversation about grief in American society as a whole. \nABOUT THE PANELISTS \nCharlotte Kiechel is a historian of modern Europe and decolonization. She is a Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies (2024-2025) and Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously\, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Williams College. Kiechel is currently finishing her first book\, Genocide’s Shadow: Holocaust Memory at the End of Empire. Her research has appeared in Humanity\, Journal of Genocide Research\, and the Journal of the History of International Law. She received her PhD in history from Yale University. \nDr. Juanita Kirton is published in several anthologies\, including AVOW (American Veteran Association for Women Magazine)\, A Journal of Hope and Healing\, Caribbean Writer\, Chester H. Jones Literary Journal\, Narrative\, Veterans Voices\, and elsewhere. Juanita’s poetry manuscript\, Letters to my Father\, was accepted for publication by Finishing Line Press\, 2020\, and her work can also be found in Inner Journey. Her poem Fall Skates won second prize in the Dream Quest One Writing Contest\, 2020. She is the recipient of the Baker Veterans Writing Scholarship\, 2018 to attend the Longleaf Writers Conference in Seaside Florida. She won the Sisters in Script self-publishing grant\, 1999 and her Peace Haiku was selected for Peace Mural in Philadelphia. Juanita is a member of Women Who Write\, Inc.\, International Women’s Writing Guild and Women Reading Aloud workshop series. She served on editorial staff for Clockhouse Literary Journal and as a teaching artist with Crossing Point Arts (Arts for survivors of human trafficking).

SUMMARY:Vietnamese Boat People Film Screening: 'New Wave' Documentary + Director Q&A
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to sponsor an event held by grantees Vietnamese Boat People and AAPI Montclair. They will host a screening and Q&A of an award-winning documentary that captures the reinvention and resilience of the Vietnamese diaspora.\n\nClick here for full information and tickets »\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHonoring 50 Years: Join Us for a Powerful Journey Through Vietnamese-American Stories\nMile-high hair. Synthesized sounds. Teenage rebellion. Elizabeth Ai was on a mission to excavate an untold story of rebellious punks in the chaotic world of 80s Vietnamese New Wave until she uncovers a hidden past. \nHosted by Vietnamese Boat People & AAPI New Jersey\n \n\n\n\nAbout NEW WAVE: This award-winning documentary (Tribeca 2024\, Albert Maysles Special Jury Award) captures the reinvention and resilience of the Vietnamese diaspora\, exploring identity\, belonging\, and the power of storytelling. \nFilmmaker Elizabeth Ai embarks on a journey to capture the vibrant spirit of a musical phenomenon that electrified Vietnamese American teens in the 1980s: New Wave. What begins as an exploration of the rebellion and freedom within this subculture evolves into a profound narrative of identity\, loss\, and healing. In Orange County\, California\, the synth beats and punk/goth aesthetics provided a sanctuary for a generation of youth grappling with the weight of their parents’ unspoken traumas. \n\n4:10 – Doors Open\n4:30 – Screening\n6:00 – Director’s Q&A\n6:20 – Bonus! Book Signing\n\nGrab a copy of New Wave: Rebellion and Reinvention in the Vietnamese Diaspora by Elizabeth Ai (Angel City Press ) and get it signed after the show! \nThis event kicks off a storytelling series leading up to Vietnamese Boat People’s Our Journeys\, a traveling exhibition debuting in NYC this September. \n\n\n“My favorite Tribeca music documentary was a homespun affair: Elizabeth Ai’s ‘New Wave\,’ a soft scream of a film about ’80s Vietnamese diaspora culture and style.”\n—Natalia Winkelman\, New York Times \n“Revealing a subculture little known to outsiders\, the film soars in its glimpses of the past\, most notably the archival performances and photo montages; the period’s outrageous hair must be seen to be believed.” —Lisa Wong Macabasco\, Vogue \n“a documentary love letter to her community and how its consumption of pop culture shaped defiant attitudes that still resonate today.” —Ryan Lattanzio\, IndieWire \n“New Wave” shows that while breaking the silence is a good first step\, breaking the cycle is even more important.” —Todd Inoue\, San Francisco Chronicle
