SUMMARY:AEU All-Society Platform: "W.E.B. Du Bois: Will the Truth Set You Free?" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:On February 7\, 1949\, renowned scholar and civil rights activist Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois gave a speech (the written version unearthed by our own Carolyn Parker) at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. We will be listening to a reading of this historic address as Dr. Du Bois speaks about the importance of acknowledging the hardships that African Americans have faced as well as their contributions to this country’s success. \nThis historic address is consistent with the resolution passed at the 2017 AEU Assembly titled “Toward Repairing the Harm of Racism.” There\, the AEU stated its goal of addressing racial inequality by examining the effects that racial discrimination has had and continue to have on people of color. Dr. Du Bois’ address echoes this sentiment\, a timeless reminder that we cannot create a better future without looking into the past. This event will take place virtually on Zoom on Sunday\, January 30th\, at 11am Eastern Time with Dennis D. Parker reading Dr. Du Bois’ speech. We hope to see you there! \nWe are excited to have Dennis D. Parker of the National Center for Law and Economic Justice (NCLEJ) do the verbal reenactment of Dr. Du Bois’ address. Prior to his work at the NCLEJ\, he fought for racial equality on behalf of other social justice-focused organizations like the ACLU and NAACP. Dennis has also published multiple pieces on civil rights including articles and books as well as teaching the subject as an adjunct professor at Columbia Law School/Teachers College and NYU Law School. \nSpecial thanks to the volunteer planners of the 1/30 All-Society Platform: Susan Solomon of the Ethical Society of Northern Westchester\, Carolyn Parker of the Ethical Society of Austin\, Taty Sena of the Brooklyn Society For Ethical Culture\, and Joanna Brandt of the Baltimore Ethical Society! \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nClick to Join at Start | Zoom ID 891 9333 5697 \nPresider: Leader Dr. Nori Rost \nShared Charity: Students for Justice \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Film Focus: "Parasite" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss Film Focus at Ethical\, a new monthly series exploring ethical themes in classic and contemporary cinema. Watch the film on your own beforehand\, then join our guest presenter for an in-depth discussion. At this inaugural session\, Greg Berger will lead an examination of the award winning Korean film Parasite. \nParasite is currently available for streaming and/or rental on Hulu\, Apple Movies/iTunes\, YouTube\, Amazon\, Vudu\, Google Play\, and more. \nAbout this session \nFor over a century\, cinema has been an effective means to communicate pressing ethical and social dilemmas to mass audiences. Perhaps no contemporary film has been as effective at portraying social inequality as South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” (2019)\, winner of the 2020 Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director. The film’s social message\, however\, extends far beyond its storyline. In Parasite\, Director Bong meticulously deploys visual metaphors within nearly every frame of his 132 minute film to characterize the dysfunctional relationship of the globe’s social classes. In images sometimes subtle and sometimes so transparent as to seem in-your-face\, Bong masterfully and beautifully communicates the toxic elements of global capitalism to his viewers. In this session\, we will review some of the political and cinematic traditions which have shaped the work of Bong Joon Ho\, and examine how he pointedly employs audiovisual language to drive home his social observations. \nDr. Gregory Berger is a filmmaker\, comedian\, Mexican television personality\, and Professor in the School of Humanities and Education at the Tecnológico de Monterrey\, Cuernavaca campus\, and a Research Fellow at the UAEM University in the Mexican State of Morelos. In Mexico he is known for his popular comedy journalism project “El Joe T. Hodo Show” which has been a fixture on social media since 2013. Since 2019 he has been a correspondent for the nationally broadcast comedy journalism television shows “El Almohadazo” and “Capital por Cual.” He has also produced comics for “El Chamuco\,” known as the “MAD Magazine of Mexico.” Berger’s academic research\, focusing on the intimate relationship between social movements and cinema\, has been published in numerous academic anthologies from Routledge Press and Peter Lang. His films have been exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art and El Museo del Barrio in New York City\, and Los Angeles’ Getty Center among other venues. \nClick here to join at start time | Zoom ID 814 7073 5630 | Passcode 158119 \nIf you would like to lead a discussion\, please contact jrose@nysec.org

SUMMARY:Exploring Ethical Dilemmas In: Public Art with Rose DeSiano (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Artist\, sculptor\, and photographer Rose DeSiano joins us to explore the ethical dilemmas raised by works of public art. Public Art is a service to the community\, but questions arise from aspects of its planning\, placement\, purpose\, and relevance. \nWhat is its role as a method of activism\, bringing topics of social importance to the surface? How can the physical artwork become a conduit for community concerns? Who makes the decision on what art will be installed\, and do the decision-makers represent the local residents? Can it be used to fundraise for non-profit social service organizations? \nRose DeSiano brings together photography and sculpture into a public art practice. Her artwork examines cultural symbolism\, the collective consciousness\, and is interested in bringing to the surface lost or undiscussed topics of history. Using art in public spaces to foster community\, DeSiano sees public art as an act of advocacy and activism. \nCommissioned by multiple cities\, her photo-sculptures have appeared throughout New York City (most recently in Prospect Park)\, in San Diego\, and Cleveland\, and have received multiple awards\, including the Uniqlo Parks Grant and FLOW.17 Public Art Award. Her gallery artwork has been exhibited in solo shows in the US and Europe\, featured in several group museum exhibitions; Bronx Art Museum\, Allentown Museum of Art\, Heritage Museum of Málaga\, and has been included in international art fairs; Photoville\, FOTOFOCUS\, and Orange Changsha Photo\, China. She is also currently the 2021 Artist in Residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. \nHer work appears in numerous publications including; Hyperallergic\, Vogue\, Time Out\, ArtNews\, and UK’s Aesthetica. DeSiano has her MFA from Art Center\, LA\, her BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of Arts. She currently lives in NYC and is a Professor of Art at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. Visit her online at desiano.com and on Instagram @rosedesiano. \nClick to join at start time | ID 868 4443 0081 | Passcode 600242 \n\nYou can download Zoom at https://zoom.us/download\, although it’s not necessary to do ahead of time.
