SUMMARY:Author Event: Ruha Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:Author Event: Ruha Benjamin\n\nSun Dec 8th 5:00pm  – 7:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUncle Bobbie’s welcomes Professor and Author Ruha Benjamin for an author talk for her book “Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code”. This discussion will be moderated by Professor Dorothy E. Roberts. \nAbout the book:\nFrom everyday apps to complex algorithms\, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. \nBenjamin argues that automation\, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web\, has the potential to hide\, speed up\, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the “New Jim Code\,” she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover\, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of technology\, designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life. \nThis illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so\, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold but also the ones we ourselves manufacture.

SUMMARY:Author event: Michael Eric Dyson "Jay-Z:Made in America"
DESCRIPTION:Uncle Bobbie’s Welcomes Author Michael Eric Dyson for an author talk on his new book “JAY-Z: Made in America”. The discussion will be moderated by Marc Lamont Hill. \nAbout the Book: JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson’s decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced\, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman\, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper\, he’s sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he’s been for so long. \nThis book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z’s career\, including hustling\, and it recognizes the way that he’s always weaved politics into his music\, making important statements about race\, criminal justice\, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties\, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist\, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z’s career and his role in making this nation what it is today.

SUMMARY:Diane Monroe: Violin Woman\, African Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Diane Monroe: Violin Woman\, African Dreams at Cliveden\n\nSunday\, November 24 @ 3pm\n$20 – $25\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nComposer and violinist Diane Monroe draws on her decades-long\, genre-defying career to craft a musical memoir that bridges jazz\, classical and traditional African music\, revealing an African-American violinist’s trials and triumphs. This story of personal and collective histories will be told through a collage of original music\, visual art and spoken word. The evening-length suite will be performed by an ensemble that includes violin\, banjo\, west African kora and Western String quartet. \nWith musical boundaries lessening\, artists are ever-more challenged to define our own identities and voices. With this work I am challenging myself to not only disrupt musical classifications and hierarchies\, but also to examine what it means for me to be an African-American woman.\nFor this new piece\, Monroe has worked with visual artist and scholar Curlee Raven Holton\, drawing inspiration from his paintings and prints\, using that inspiration to reflect on her life journey and to write music fueled by her experience as an African-American woman—Monroe employs a quintessentially Western instrument to collapse boundaries between musical styles that often occupy distinct silos. Holton’s artwork will be incorporated into the scenic design for the premiere performances at Cliveden. \nMonroe’s other collaborators on the project include renowned string quartet PubliQuartet\, internationally recognized master of West African kora and storytelling Yacouba Sissoko\, and Ayodele Maakheru\, who has played banjo\, guitar\, and multiple other stringed instruments on Broadway and across the world for over three decades. A rhythm section composed of bassist Lee Smith\, hand percussionist Leonard “Doc” Gibbs and drummer Harry “Butch” Reed completes the eclectic ensemble. \nPerformances will run 85 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. \nViolin Woman\, African Dreams has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Monroe \n\nDiane Monroe is a violinist whose versatility and expressive artistry consistently brings audiences to their feet. Her visibility as a jazz artist began with her long-standing membership as first violinist of the Uptown String Quartet and the Max Roach Double Quartet. These critically acclaimed groups have appeared on The Cosby Show\, CBS News Sunday Morning and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Monroe is more\, however\, than simply a fine performer. Her original compositions and arrangements have been highlighted on TV shows and in performances with the two ensembles at major concert halls and festivals throughout the world. Monroe has also been leading her own ensembles for more than 15 years. The Diane Monroe Quartet appeared at the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival and continues to play at venues across the country. \nMonroe is a Philadelphia native and graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and University of the Arts. She has taught at Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, Swarthmore College\, Lehigh University and Temple University. In 2002\, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Monroe is a 2018 recipient of both a Fellowship and a Project grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. \n\n\n\n\nNovember 22-24\nPerformances at 8:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays\,\n\n3:00pm on Sundays \nWhere?
