This week featuring Rachel Waite, Liam Purcell with Quinton Hughes and Phantomwise

There are more than 65 million refugees and internally displaced people in the world. The impact of this upsurge of refugees, the most the world has ever known, has only begun to be fully felt. Education, national security, humanitarian aid, social services, policies, economics, children, families and identities are being impacted in communities all over the world. This is a true global issue that may have roots in places such as Syria or Somalia but is quickly transcending the boundaries of displacement camps, receiving countries, and war-torn nations. Further, like all major global challenges, there is not one way to tackle this issue; it calls for collaborations and conversations that integrate multiple perspectives, peoples, and nations. For a university, which also has a responsibility to act as well as to educate students and communities, the response requires conversations across disciplines and across the social sciences and the humanities.
This day-long symposium will combine scholarship, performance, practice, and an art installation and will investigate the complex intersection of art and refugees. The symposium views art as a social and political agent and as an illustration of human struggles and accomplishments. Symposium participants will explore the refugee situation alongside an array of artistic expressions, as well as the artists, sociopolitical contexts, analytic frameworks, and global trends from which art about refugees is created and defined. And, in so doing, participants will explore the refugee experience through multiple lenses, from the political and cultural, to the aesthetic, economic, intimate, and historic. As the Bloomington community is also dealing with its debated refugee situation (at one point, Syrian refugees were going to be allowed to settle in Bloomington this Spring), and with the recent presidential executive order, this topic is an extremely timely one and participants will also be asked to consider this issue from a U.S. local perspective. The symposium’s overall goal is to use art as an entry point to more meaningfully and intimately understand the experience of refugees.

Fire Chief Charlie is a love story. In a Chicago suburb in 2000, Jamie first entered Jonah’s life by cartwheel from stage left as a high school freshman in Bye Bye Birdie while Jonah watched from the audience. Ten years later, they reunited in Los Angeles when Jonah’s Chicago act, Fire Chief Charlie, moved out west. Jonah’s solo act quickly became a duet that eventually grew to include two more Midwestern natives (Lucas Dunning, Eric Radoux), completing the four-piece band.
Fire Chief Charlie’s music is an eclectic mix of traditional folk/rock songwriting and genre-hopping arrangements. Their songs and concerts come alive through the performances of dancer Darren Schroader, whose avant-garde choreography and costumes surprise the band and audience alike.
