This event will feature a screening of the Oscar-nominated live action sho rt film Anuja (2024)\, followed by a conversation with director Adam J. Gr aves and scholars Deven Patel\, Sonal Khullar\, and Jean-Michel Rabaté. Pr esented in partnership with the Center for the Advanced Study of India\, t he South Asia Studies Department\, and the Program for Gender\, Sexuality\ , and Women’s Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, and nonprofit pr oduction company Shine Global.\n\nAbout the Program\n\nThe short film Anuj a turns on a deceptively simple problem: what does it mean to choose when material\, social and economic conditions of agency have already been radi cally constrained? A gifted nine-year-old working beside her sister in a D elhi garment factory is offered a chance to return to school—but education \, work\, family obligation\, and survival pull her in different direction s. Around that intimate decision lies a much larger political economy: nea rly 138 million children remain in child labour worldwide\, while the clot hes and commodities produced by their hands move through a global supply c hain deliberately structured to distance consumers from the conditions of production—to make it difficult to track or trace who made what\, where\, and under what circumstances. Anuja invites its audiences to confront thes e realities by drawing us into the fictional world of a single child\, who se story is singular but whose circumstances are\, in many ways\, all too common.\n\nBut the film is also interested in what cinema does with such r ealities. Moving between social realism and fable\, work and play\, necess ity and imagination\, Anuja draws on the textures of South Asian life and storytelling while resisting the reduction of its young protagonists to th e status of mere victim. What happens when structural violence is given th e shape of a story? How does narrative distribute agency\, responsibility\ , and blame? Can humor\, beauty\, suspense\, and even magic make political realities more visible? And what kind of knowledge can fiction produce th at empirical reports and statistics cannot? These questions place the film within a larger conversation about political cinema: not simply what stor ies should be told\, but how the medium of film shapes the ways we see\, u nderstand\, and engage with the world.\n\nFollowing the screening\, writer and director Adam J. Graves will be joined by Deven Patel\, Sonal Khullar \, and Jean-Michel Rabaté for a conversation ranging from child labor\, gl obalization\, the structures of labor\, and the politics of education to n arrative agency\, film theory\, folklore\, and the pleasures and responsib ilities of storytelling. Their discussion will consider Anuja both as an i ntervention into a pressing social reality and as a work of cinema—asking where art and politics meet\, and what happens when a film refuses to choo se between the two.\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\nAdam J. Graves is s a philoso pher-turned-filmmaker\, who holds a B.A. in South Asian studies and a Ph.D . in the Philosophy of Religion from the University of Pennsylvania.

In Through That Which Is Seen\, Neff traces the evolution of an ongoing photo graphic project framed by the expansive conversation surrounding natural h abitat dioramas. Her research extends to the collections of Charles Willso n Peale’s natural history museum\, founded in Philadelphia more than two c enturies ago\, where art and natural history shared a single stage and whe re Neff has encountered a troubled balance between the impulses of conserv ation and exploitation. Peale\, whose legacy figures prominently in At Lib erty\, is the point of contact between the exhibition and Neff’s project. \n\nHaving formally studied literature (B.A.\, Temple University) and pain ting (B.F.A.\, Philadelphia College of Art\; M.F.A.\, Tyler School of Art) \, Eileen Neff has been working with photo-based images and installations since 1981. Her work was recently featured in A Natural Paradox\, a duo ex hibition at Frock Gallery\, Ypres\, Belgium. In Philadelphia\, it appeared in the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s exhibition New Grit: Art & Philly Now and in The Windows\, a 2021 installation at Bridgette Mayer Gallery. Neff has received numerous awards\, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship\, a Pew Fellowship in the Arts\, a National Endowme nt for the Arts Grant\, a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship\, an d a Leeway Foundation Artist Grant.

During South Kor ea’s forays into nuclear energy development early in the Cold War\, his re search contributed to understanding how radiation interacts with living sy stems. Yet unbeknownst to his scientific colleagues\, Lee spent his evenin gs translating Giorgio Vasari’s Lives (1550/1568)\, one of art history’s f oundational texts\, into Korean. After more than twenty years of work\, hi s translation was published in 1986 without much acknowledgement from the art history establishment\, either in East Asia or the West.\n\nAgainst th e backdrop of Lee’s life story\, in this talk I discuss how Lee deploys Ko rean onomatopoeia while empathizing with a shivering figure in Masaccio’s famed frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel. While Ferdinand de Saussure dispar aged onomatopoeia\, calling it “a marginal phenomenon\,” specialists in Ko rean and Japanese linguistics have pointed to the significance of mimetic words in those languages. In Lee’s translation of Vasari\, the alliteratio n of consonants in the Korean sonically mimics the movements of the mouth and tongue when the body is exposed to cold. Lee’s translation thus both e choes Vasari sonically and mimes the gesture of the freezing figure’s mout h. And in reproducing the stammering and chattering with their own mouth\, the reader is brought from the scale of epic Biblical events into the mom entary span of sensation or utterance.
