In an era of deepening division and backlash, how do we fully embrace our identities as catalysts for joy and sustainable change? How do we build intersectional, cross-sector movements that amplify voices of the mainstream silences—especially from the Global South? This session goes beyond discussion—it’s about strategy, solidarity, and reshaping the future while addressing the harms of identity politics being weaponized against marginalized communities.

During the initial virtual session, we'll explore who Jews are, what antisemitism is, and how it operates. During the subsequent in-person session, we'll unpack how anti-Jewish harm shows up in the current political climate, including inside discourse around Israel & Palestine. Through small group discussion, pair shares, and Q&A there is ample time for unpacking difficult questions and challenging scenarios. Participants leave with a greater understanding of the Jewish community’s identities, lived experiences, and traumas, better prepared to be allies to the Jewish community, and how antisemitism ultimately undermines democratic, pluralistic societies and institutions

African musical arts on the continent are as vibrant and diverse as the societies and communities whose creativity and performances enliven life in both temporal and non-temporal domains. As a form of communication, African musical arts operate within a larger framework of orality where musical sounds and expressions constitute symbolic and living curricula, which consistently generate knowledge systems about the African worldview. Orality, however, does not imply lack of literacy, as songs, instrumental accompaniment, storytelling, epic poems, instrumental music, and the physical body of musical instruments indexes literacy in subtle and intricate ways. Ultimately, the International Symposium on the Musical Arts of Africa (ISMAA) will foster crucial dialogues on critical issues, including the imbalanced power dynamics between researchers and African communities, the persistent challenge for African societies to access scholarship produced in the West, and “research fatigue” among African communities, which occurs when Africans become uncomfortable and less receptive toward Western academics.

Admission/Cost: Free Event Contact Name: Sophie Cloherty Event Contact Email: sophie.cloherty@tufts.edu Please join us at the SMFA for a talk and Q&A by visiting artist Chitra Ganesh! Across a twenty-year practice, Chitra Ganesh has developed an expansive body of work rooted in drawing and painting, which has evolved to encompass animations, wall drawings, collages, computer generated imagery, video, and sculpture. Through studies in literature, semiotics, social theory, science fiction, and historical and mythic texts, Ganesh attempts to reconcile representations of femininity, sexuality, and power absent from the artistic and literary canons. She often draws on Hindu and Buddhist iconography and South Asian forms such as Kalighat and Madhubani, and is currently negotiating her relationship to these images with the rise of right wing fundamentalism in India. Open to Tufts university students, faculty, and staff.

This talk explores the evolution of Adivasi food systems as a response to political, environmental, and economic changes. It centers on the voices of Adivasi people and their perspectives and reflections on food as culture, food as self-medication, food as sustenance, food as sustainability, and importantly, food as conversation with nature. The talk advocates for recognizing and valuing Indigenous knowledge to decolonize food systems and promote sustainability, cultural identity, and resilience amidst global challenges.
