Humanity in Perspective – Winter 2024
Worlds Within Words: A Cross-Cultural Exploration of Multimedia Memoir
January 15 to March 16, 2024
3 Credits (Bard College)
online via Zoom
Instructors: Rozzell Medina, Manya Yana, Eben Pindyck, and Chelsea Querner
A memoir is a personal narrative, told from the perspective of the author, about an important part of their life. This free, for-credit course explores the vast, rewarding potential of this expressive storytelling form. Discover different approaches to creating and sharing personal narratives with guidance from experienced instructors, accomplished writers, and even a publisher. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of short memoirs from across cultures and generations to inspire your own storytelling. Uncover possibilities for crafting and publishing personal narratives, whether it be through the written word, spoken expression, or visual storytelling. Everyone who completes the course will create at least one memoir piece, regardless of whether you think you have a story to tell, and even if you think you "don't know how to write."
This course is offered in partnership with Portland State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Clemente Course in the Humanities, Bard College, and Write Around Portland.
Humanity in Perspective — Fall 2023
October 16 to December 18, 2023
3 credits (Bard College)
online via Zoom
Instructor: Rozzell Medina
During the past sixty years, many artists have moved away from treating audiences purely as spectators. Now, they use creativity to engage individuals and communities as active participants and even collaborators. In addition to revolutionizing contemporary art, this has revealed new possibilities for artists to create in ways that affect not only the art world, but education, protest, work, and other aspects of daily life.
In this free, for-credit college course, we will learn about this movement towards art and social cooperation through readings, discussions, diverse media, and creative projects. We will also examine social movements and important people who shaped these artistic advancements, exploring some very influential texts of the 20th century by MLK, Paulo Freire, Antonin Artaud, and others.
In addition to learning more about the world in which we live, we will apply what we learn by exploring possibilities and expanding definitions for working creatively in our own communities.
