SUMMARY:Examining the Impact of Public Humanities Organizations\, a 50th Anniversary Event
DESCRIPTION:Event Recording\n \n  \n\nJoin us for an interactive conversation about how public humanities have affected New Jerseyans over the past fifty years. \nThe New Jersey Council for the Humanities has been helping grantees and program partners harness the power of the public humanities for fifty years. Over the past five decades\, NJCH: \n\nAdministered millions of dollars in grant funding as the nonprofit state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.\nHelped hundreds of New Jersey communities bring meaningful projects to their audiences\, fostering an informed and empathetic citizenry.\nEnsured access to interesting and thought-provoking discussions and presentations for tens of millions of New Jerseyans.\n\nJoin us for a dialogue about the history of the Council and how its present and future work will continue to shape our state featuring five organizations who represent the breadth and depth of NJCH’s grantees. Later in the program\, NJCH will introduce the new Stanley N. Katz Prize for Excellence in Public Humanities\, which will be awarded for the first time this year in honor of our 50th anniversary. \n\nProgram Details\nThis program will be hosted by Alexis J. Pedrick\, Director of Public Engagement at the Science History Institute in Philadelphia and current chair of NJCH’s Grants Committee. Alexis’s work focuses on making the history of science engaging and exciting for public audiences. She has a master of arts in humanities from Arcadia University\, focusing on history\, philosophy\, and religion. She is known around Philadelphia for her lively talks and tours and also serves as co-host of the Science History Institute’s podcast\, Distillations. \nFeatured Grantees\nBayshore at Bivalve\nBayshore Center at Bivalve advances the understanding of the human impact on New Jersey’s aquatic environment through education\, advocacy\, and programming. BCB operates the authentically restored 1928 oyster schooner A.J. Meerwald\, New Jersey’s official tall ship\, as a hands-on sailing classroom throughout the region. It also operates the Delaware Bay Museum and offers shore-based programs at its campus and schooner’s home port on the scenic Maurice River in Cumberland County. \nPanelist: Brian Keenan\, Executive Director \n\nNewark Museum of Art\nNewark Museum of Art is the largest art and education institution in New Jersey\, with a mission to “welcome everyone through inclusive experiences that spark curiosity and foster community.” Founded in 1909 by library and museum visionary John Cotton Dana\, the driving force of the museum was to promote the appreciation\, understanding\, and enjoyment of the arts and sciences to all members of the community. This commitment to broadening arts participation continues today\, as NMOA actively engages diverse audiences and under-represented creative voices to make its exhibitions\, programs\, facilities\, and services accessible to all. While continuing to promote cross-cultural understanding through the art objects in its global collections\, NMOA now also incorporates social justice initiatives into its programs and operations\, and partners with social service and community organizations to help address the basic needs of the community. \nPanelist: Silvia Filippini-Fantoni\, Deputy Director of Learning and Engagement \n\nPeople & Stories\nPeople & Stories / Gente y Cuentos has made literature accessible for those who lack the skill\, confidence\, or desire to read independently. For nearly 50 years\, their 8-week reading and discussion programs\, offered in English and Spanish\, have taken place in prisons\, substance-abuse recovery centers\, libraries\, shelters\, GED and adult education programs\, transitional housing and social service agencies. Participants challenge their assumptions\, communicate across differences\, and experience first-hand the transformative power of literature. \nPanelist: Cheyenne Wolf\, Executive Director \n\nRaices Cultural Center\nRaíces Cultural Center is dedicated to preserving cultural roots of through the arts\, history\, and ecology. Through their programs and initiatives\, Raíces seeks to provide a platform for the investigation\, documentation\, preservation\, dissemination\, and exchange of knowledge and ideas related to the history and evolution of cultural traditions of Latin America and the Caribbean. In everything they do\, they strive to develop meaningful interchanges and resources that pay homage to ancestral cultural traditions while exploring and building upon their evolution in an ever-changing world. \nPanelist: Nicole Wines\, Program Coordinator \n\nVietnamese Boat People\nVietnamese Boat People is a volunteer-driven organization that shares its name with the almost two million Vietnamese who risked their lives to flee oppression and hardship after the Vietnam War. VBP seeks to preserve the stories\, experiences\, and traditions of the people of the Vietnamese diaspora\, including those who fled in one of the largest mass exoduses in human history. What started as a podcast documenting the refugee experience has expanded to both in-person and digital storytelling of many different types\, all implemented by a team of volunteers in New Jersey and across the country who preserve the past for future generations and encourage empathy for the millions of refugees around the world today. \nPanelist: Tracey Nguyen Mang\, Founder

SUMMARY:Designing Hybrid Programs
DESCRIPTION:Resources from “Designing Hybrid Programs”\n \n— \nHow do you develop and plan successful hybrid programs from the ground up\, and how does this process look different from in-person or virtual program design? How do you define success for a hybrid program? You can think of this session as hybrid programming R&D. \nIndividuals who are interested in designing hybrid programs at their institution and those who have experience doing hybrid programming but want to learn more about doing it in a humanities context will benefit from this session\, which will feature case studies from the Cherry Hill Public Library and Newark Museum of Art. Colleagues from those institutions will provide real-world perspective on why they chose the program formats they did\, how they planned their programs\, and what they learned in the process of taking on this challenge. \nPanelists:\n\nBeth Cackowski\, Youth Services Supervisor\, Cherry Hill Public Library\nClaire Thomas\, Adult Services Librarian Cherry Hill Public Library\nSiliva Filippini Fantoni\, Deputy Director Learning & Engagement\, Newark Museum of Art\n\n\nThis is the first in a two-part series\, “Hybrid Humanities Programming: How to Design It\, How to Do It.” Hybrid programs—which include online and in-person participants—are a new norm in the humanities. Just because it’s a norm\, however\, doesn’t mean it’s easy! \nAt NJCH\, we see and hear about a lot of great hybrid humanities program ideas through our work across the state. So we’re creating a public space to share what we’ve learned from our community. This two-part In the Weeds series is designed to capture best practices and models and encourage networking and information sharing among organizations doing this work. \nDon’t forget to mark your calendar for July 21 for the second workshop in this series\, “Executing Hybrid Programs\,” where we will take a deep dive in to the logistical and technical elements of running successful hybrid humanities programs.

SUMMARY:Executing Hybrid Programs
DESCRIPTION:Event Recording\n \n\nThis session will provide tips and tricks for turning those well-developed hybrid program designs into a high-quality experience for all participants—including how to manage your tech. How can you balance the needs of in-person and virtual participants simultaneously? What tools are out there to make these kinds of events easier to manage? How can you handle unexpected hiccups in real time? Whether your organization has a hybrid program coming up or if you have hosted hybrid events in the past\, this session will increase your skills and capacities for hosting these types of events. \nThis workshop features Joe Amditis\, assistant director of products and events at the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair State University\, where he is responsible for making in-person\, virtual\, and hybrid events work smoothly. \nJoe graduated from Rutgers University in 2013 and earned his B.A. with a double-major in political science and criminal justice before going on to earn his M.A. from the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in New York City. He was co-founder and former director of operations of Muckgers\, a hyperlocal\, student-focused\, investigative publication serving the Rutgers-New Brunswick community. Joe is also a seven-year veteran of the New Jersey Army National Guard. \n\nThis is the second in a two-part series\, “Hybrid Humanities Programming: How to Design It\, How to Do It.” Hybrid programs—which include online and in-person participants—are a new norm in the humanities. Just because it’s a norm\, however\, doesn’t mean it’s easy! \nAt NJCH\, we see and hear about a lot of great hybrid humanities program ideas through our work across the state.

SUMMARY:Film Focus: A Look at Documentary "Kea's Ark"
DESCRIPTION:View the discussion below: \n \n\nIn the 1980s\, artist and activist Kea Tawana built a three-story ark on the highest point of Newark\, New Jersey. It was in the devastated Central Ward\, where Kea salvaged materials from buildings being torn down after Newark’s 1967 uprising. She worked on her ark for years before city officials finally took note and demanded it gone. For a brief time\, the art world and local community united to try and save Kea’s Ark\, and their struggle became national news. But the public protests and court challenges failed\, and Kea dismantled her giant boat in 1988. Yet Kea’s Ark remains a symbol of hope in Newark and beyond. \nKea’s Ark features rare archival and contemporary interviews and footage to tell the story of Kea Tawana\, a self-taught artist\, engineer\, housing activist\, and trans woman whose visionary work continues to resonate today\, and whose ark remains a powerful symbol of hope in Newark and beyond. The film won a 2021 Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Arts Programming. PCK Media received an NJCH Action Grant in 2017 to support the creation of this film. \n\n\nYou can watch the film for free on your own time through August 7 (please RSVP to receive the link via email\, and use password “Kea” to view the video).\nWe also invite you to join us on July 27\, 2022\, from noon-1pm for a discussion featuring filmmaker Susan Wallner of PCK Media (please RSVP to receive the Zoom link via email).\n\n\nThe discussion will be facilitated by Purcell Carson\, a filmmaker and editor who has worked on many lauded documentary films featuring New Jersey stories. Purcell also teaches a seminar in urban studies and film at Princeton University\, where she is project director of a multi-year community-based documentary project\, The Trenton Project. She is a graduate of Brown and Stanford. \nRegister below to receive the link to the film and get a reminder about the discussion program. \nAbout the Filmmaker \nKea’s Ark was produced\, directed\, and written by Susan Wallner\, an award-winning producer of arts and history programming. As a principal at PCK Media\, she is a co-series producer of State of the Arts\, airing weekly on NJ PBS\, WNET/Thirteen\, and ALL ARTS.

SUMMARY:Film Focus: A Look at BLACKED OUT
DESCRIPTION:Click here to access the recording of the event discussion.\n\n\nIn 2017\, a disturbing piece of children’s art was found at Irving Primary School in the progressive town of Highland Park\, New Jersey. A group of student filmmakers from Highland Park High School tried to solve the mystery of who created it\, how it was placed on the primary school’s famous Tile Wall\, and why it was allowed to hang there for almost forty years. \nThis film was created as part of the Highland Park African American History Project (HPAAHP)\, a digital storytelling initiative by students at Highland Park High School\, under leadership and direction of John Hulme\, a local documentary filmmaker who is himself a graduate of that school. HPAAHP was supported by an NJCH Incubation Grant in 2016 and Action Grant in 2017. Blacked Out was featured in film festivals in Montclair\, Hoboken\, Harlem\, and Vero Beach\, where the film was met with considerable interest and acclaim. It was also featured in numerous community conversations about legacies of racism in Highland Park. \nJoin us on August 24\, 2022\, for a screening of the film and post-film discussion featuring John Hulme and some of the former students who created the film. The discussion will be facilitated by Purcell Carson\, a filmmaker and editor who has worked on many lauded documentary films featuring New Jersey stories. Purcell also teaches a seminar in urban studies and film at Princeton University\, where she is project director of a multi-year community-based documentary project\, The Trenton Project. \nThe post-film discussion will be recorded and posted to the NJCH website following the in-person event.
