The symposium assembles experts from a wide range of disciplines in the government, nonprofit, academic, community, and private sectors to examine topics at the intersection of human rights and the environment and propose solutions for the future. Keynote speakers and panelists will address regulatory responses, litigation, academic and scientific discourse, and the activist movements that have shaped the intersection between human rights and the environment.

Kerry Skarbakka – White Noise: Artist Talk and Discussion

Virtual

Kerry Skarbakka (b. 1970) is an artist working at the intersection of studio arts, performance, and constructed photography. The core of his practice examines the complexities of existence, control, and the vulnerabilities of the human condition through performative physical feats and expanded roles of identity. For this event, Skarbakka will join students in the History of Photography course in a conversation of the role of art in constructing identity. In particular, they will discuss how his various projects examine and confront notions and ideals of white masculinity in the United States. Members of the public are welcome to join in the discussion.

Lauren K. Woods Theatre

The play is set in the backyard of two adjoining houses in the working class neighborhood of South Philadelphia. They are about to celebrate the 21st birthday of Francis Geminiani, a Harvard student, when two classmate friends from Harvard and Yale, Judith and Randy, show up unexpectedly. Since there isn’t a spare bedroom in either house they pitch a tent in the backyard. Francis’ classmates, the wealthy Judith seeks romance with Francis not realizing that her brother Randy is the object of Francis’ unexpressed affection. Each of the characters in the play are dysfunctional to some degree and their celebration of Francis’ birthday brings out the best of comedy and drama. The birthday party is a series of comic incidents that provide laughter and serious realizations that lead up to the final joyous ending. The crazy fast moving celebration leaves each character a bit wiser and happier having celebrated Francis’ 21st birthday. 

Tickets: $20 (adults); $15 (seniors)

A.J. Croce – Livestream Series

Virtual

We are proud to partner with A.J. Croce  to bring you access to a special livestream series! A portion of each ticket sold benefits Monmouth University Center for the Arts. The album release show on Thursday March 18 celebrates the release of the new A.J. Croce studio album By Request available on CD and LP for pre-order today and out on February 5 via Compass Records. The album was born of memories—of favorite artists and shows, but mostly, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends, many of them fellow musicians, with Croce at the piano taking requests. On Thursday March 25 A.J. Croce brings his touring band to the stage with him to perform music from his en studio albums of roots music ranging from Blues and Jazz to Rock and Roll and Soul, including covers from the new album. This performance will include a variety of originals from albums like That’s Me in the Bar, Twelve Tales, and Just Like Medicine.

Streaming Packages start at $15 for one show and $25 for both shows (Merchandise Add-Ons Available)
