SUMMARY:We Are All Ducassians: Panel on Surrealism
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nOverview\n\n\n\n\nwith Beverly Adams\, Kevin Saliou\, Éric Walbecq\, and Caroline Weber \n\n\n\n\nPresented by ANOTHER SPACE at the Grolier Club\, We Are All Ducassians brings together scholars and curators to explore the enduring legacy of Isidore Ducasse\, better known as the Comte de Lautréamont (b. 1846 Montevideo\, Uruguay – d. 1870 Paris\, France)\, and his influential work Les Chants de Maldoror. First published in the late nineteenth century\, Maldoror shocked readers with its unsettling\, erotic and violent surrealist imagery. Published just before his untimely death at the age of twenty-four\, the text became a foundational source for Surrealist and avant-garde artists and writers\, who celebrated its rejection of convention. \nComplimenting the exhibition Echoes of Maldoror scheduled to open October 2026 at ANOTHER SPACE in Chelsea NY\, the symposium will feature short presentations followed by a conversation among well-known writers and curators in the field\, including: Beverly Adams\, MoMA’s Estrellita B. Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art and curator of the recent exhibition Wifredo Lam: When I Don’t Sleep\, I Dream; Kevin Saliou\, curator\, writer\, and publisher of Cahiers Lautréamont\, whose \nwork explores the intersections of art\, literature\, and experimental forms; Éric Walbecq\, writer and cultural interlocutor from the BnF (Bibliothèque nationale de France) focused on literature\, aesthetics\, and intellectual history; and Caroline Weber\, acclaimed scholar of French literature and modern intellectual culture. \nDrawing on their respective fields of expertise\, the speakers will consider Lautréamont’s international influence on literature\, visual art\, Surrealism\, and the broader history of modernity. Individual presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion\, moderated by Laura Bardier and Estrellita B. Brodsky\, exploring the continued relevance of Maldoror for contemporary artistic practice\, of the 21st century and offering new perspectives on a writer whose influence continues to shape cultural production more than a century after his death. \nBeverly Adams is MoMA’s Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art. Before joining the Museum\, Adams was the Curator of Latin American Art at the Blanton Museum at the University of Texas at Austin. Most recently\, Adams organized (With Natalia Majluf) the exhibition The Avant-garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina\, Mexico\, and Peru in the 1920s (2019)\, the catalogue for which was awarded the Association for Latin American Art Arvey Foundation Exhibition Catalogue Award. Adams holds a PhD in art history from the University of Texas at Austin\, focusing on Latin American art and surrealism. \nKevin Saliou is a curator and writer whose practice engages experimental artistic forms\, collaborative methodologies\, and contemporary cultural discourse. His work often focuses on the relationship between visual art\, literature\, and alternative modes of presentation. \nÉric Walbecq is a writer and cultural interlocutor whose work engages questions of literature\, aesthetics\, and contemporary intellectual history. His research and public conversations frequently explore the relationship between avant-garde artistic movements and their continued influence on contemporary cultural production. \nCaroline Weber is a scholar\, author\, and academic known for her work on French literature and intellectual history. Her writing examines the intersections of literature\, politics\, and culture\, with a particular emphasis on the legacy of French modernity and its lasting influence on contemporary thought. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-panel-we-are-all-ducassians-tickets-1993628124387?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nIf you are a Grolier Club member\, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website.

SUMMARY:Behind the Scenes with Transit Books: A California Publisher with Global Reach
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to bring a remarkable book into the world? Join the co-publishers of Transit Books for a behind-the-scenes conversation about the role of award-winning\, nonprofit publishing—from discovering singular voices and acquiring international literature to editing\, designing\, translating\, producing\, and championing books that find devoted readers around the world. \nFounded in 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Transit Books is an internationally focused publishing house that has achieved unusual reach over the last decade: most notably publishing a Nobel Prize–winning author (Jon Fosse) and turning a niche translated novel (I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman) into a half-million–copy hit. This year its founders and copublishers\, Adam Levy and Ashley Nelson Levy\, were recognized by The Washington Post’s Next 50—a list of 50 people across all industries shaping culture right now—signaling a broader shift in global literature entering mainstream conversation and publishing innovation coming from smaller players\, not just big houses. \nIn this conversation\, the publishers will share how a small\, mission-driven press has helped shape today’s literary landscape while remaining rooted in California’s vibrant independent publishing tradition. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Adam Levy and Ashley Nelson Levy\, co-founders and co-publishers\, Transit Books. \nTo register to attend the online event\, click here.

SUMMARY:California’s Diverse Food and Farming Movements
DESCRIPTION:How we grow\, harvest\, distribute\, and consume food is bound up with how we use (and abuse) environmental resources\, and how we achieve (or undermine) collective well-being. In North Stars of Emancipation\, Antonio Roman-Alcalá finds in the radical experiments of new food movements the seeds of a world liberated from old\, extractive systems\, where a more equitable way of eating and living is possible. \nThe book traces the transformation of California’s diverse food movements as Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, and other people of color have come to play a larger organizational role\, especially at a time of toxic national politics. A new vision now guides these movements\, rooted in the radical traditions of anarchism\, Black radicalism\, and Indigenous resurgence\, yet focused on pragmatic solutions to the problems of market and state. In pursuing a North Star political ideal that rejects capitalism\, colonialism\, and state violence while prioritizing survival\, California’s food movements have achieved greater collaboration among sectors\, workers\, and consumers\, pointing toward a promising future. \nNorth Stars of Emancipation takes the rare step of analyzing movements as interconnected wholes. From their collective success\, we learn how to move past an untenable present. \nAn in-person and virtual conversation with Antonio Roman-Alcalá\, author\, educator\, researcher\, organizer\, and Assistant Professor\, Cal State University\, East Bay in conversation with Sara Calvosa Olson\, editor\, writer\, and community development specialist \n** Co-presented & co-hosted by Litquake \nTo register to attend the online event\, click here.
