SUMMARY:Beyond el Barrio Documentary Premiere
DESCRIPTION:The Indiana Historical Society shares the untold history of Indianapolis’s Latino community in a groundbreaking documentary\, Beyond El Barrio: Early Cultural Contributions to the City of Indianapolis\, Seen and Unseen. The premiere event\, scheduled for May 1\, is set to be an evening of reflection\, celebration\, and discussion about the lasting impact of the city’s once-thriving Latino neighborhood—El Barrio.El Barrio\, a vibrant community in the 1960s\, made profound cultural contributions to Indianapolis before being displaced by urban development and the construction of major highways.

This thoughtful conversation will explore the importance of preserving this history and how El Barrio’s intangible cultural influence continues to resonate in the city today. Following the discussion\, guests are invited to a reception to continue the conversation\, celebrate the rich cultural history of the Latino community\, and connect with others who share a passion for preserving Indianapolis’ diverse heritage. \nFor more information\, visit www.indianahistory.org\, call 317.232.1882\, or email bhrachovec@indianahistory.org. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities INcommon Grant.

SUMMARY:Speculative Play and Just Futurities | Nico Valdivia Hennig and Dr. Isabel Pérez-Ramos
DESCRIPTION:Nico Valdivia Hennig and Dr. Isabel Pérez-Ramos will lead conversations featuring their SPJF projects: “Beyond the Gap\, A Migrant’s Journey” and “Dismantling the Wasteocene through Solidarity.”\n \n\n\nNico Valdivia Hennig (he/they) is an award-winning Chilean game designer\, ludic activist\, and cultural studies researcher with over a decade of experience in game design. Currently\, they are a PhD student in Hispanic Studies at the University of California\, Riverside\, with a designated emphasis in Speculative Fiction and Cultures of Science. Their research focuses on ludic activism\, game design\, and game production in the Global South\, particularly in Latin America. \nNico co-founded Niebla Games\, which has launched both board and video games for PC and mobile platforms. In 2022\, their studio was selected for Google’s Indie Games Accelerator program. Notable accolades include “Best Game Design” at EVA Córdoba 2019 in Argentina\, “Best Chilean Studio of 2021\,” and recent nominations for the Explorer Award at the AMaze/Berlin Festival of Experimental Game Art 2024\, as well as for Best Social Matters Game & Best Diversity Game at the BIG Festival/Gamescom Latam 2024 in São Paulo\, Brazil. Additionally\, Nico has extensive experience lecturing on game design and narrative within game development programs in Chile. They are also a co-founder of Río Junto\, a Latin American cultural exchange hub\, and a founding member of Ludocrítica\, the Chilean Critical Games Studies Network. \n“Beyond the Gap: A Migrant’s Journey” is a project that aims to explore the complex migration crises in the Americas\, particularly through the perilous Darien Gap. The game will explore the diverse reasons driving migration\, the harsh realities faced along one of the world’s most dangerous routes\, and the impact of socio-political factors on migrants. This project delves into various aspects and temporalities of migration\, including a speculative look at a post-dystopian future\, utilizing open-source tools to craft an interactive experience that encourages reflection on broader migratory narratives and the potential for more equitable futures. \nIsabel Pérez-Ramos (she/her/hers) is a Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow at the University of Oviedo (grant RYC2021-031353-I funded by MCIN/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 and by “European Union Next Generation EU/PRTR”). She is a member of the multidisciplinary research groups Intersections (University of Oviedo)\, and GIECO (Instituto Franklin\, UAH). \nIsabel’s research focuses on narrative representations of environmental injustices\, mostly in Chicanx and US Southwestern literature\, as well as in cli-fi and speculative fiction. \nShe is co-editor of Toward an Eco-Social Transition: Transatlantic Environmental Humanities (UAH\, 2021). Her research has been published in journals such as International Journal of English Studies IJES\, MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States\, Revista Canaria de Estudios Ingleses\, Ecozon@: European Journal of Literature\, Culture and Environment and Environmental Humanities\, as well as in numerous book chapters. \nShe is Book Review Editor of Ecozon@ and a member of the Advisory Board of the European Association for the Study of Literature\, Culture and Environment. \n“Dismantling the Wasteocene through Solidarity” centers on the ways in which decolonial solidarities are mobilized through narrative strategies in speculative fiction by Chicanx authors to challenge socioenvironmental injustices. \n\nThe Speculative Play and Just Futurities program leverages narrative storytelling and creative world-building in speculative writing and design\, including science fiction\, fantasy\, gaming\, and new digital media like virtual reality\, to challenge oppression and reimagine our world. It focuses on creating forums for discussing and theorizing literature to envision just futures. Central to SPJF is a residency for emerging scholars and creators\, fostering intellectual and creative growth. SPJF also hosts weekly colloquia for students and faculty\, featuring resident interactions and collaborative learning opportunities. \nSpeculative Play and Just Futurities is made possible through the generous support of the Mellon Foundation. SPJF is a collaboration between the IU Indianapolis Arts and Humanities Institute\, the Center for Africana Studies and Culture\, and the Ray Bradbury Center.

SUMMARY:RESIST!
DESCRIPTION:The Indiana Historical Society’s exhibit RESIST! explores a pivotal 1924 event and the context that surrounded it. At the height of its power\, the Ku Klux Klan planned a rally in South Bend\, Indiana\, in May 1924. The city is home to the University of Notre Dame\, a Catholic institution that in the mid-1920s had approximately 2\,500 students. This set up a major flashpoint between the Klan and a religious group it had villainized and persecuted. \nThis exhibition will seek to help visitors understand key questions and realities around the Klan’s rise to power in Indiana. It will also highlight how people resisted\, including Notre Dame students in 1924\, and how they raised questions about how to combat hate. \nThe exhibit runs from April 13\, 2024\, to August 2\, 2025\, and is open during the Indiana Historical Society’s regular hours. For more information about hours and admission\, visit the historical society’s website or call 317.232.1882. \nThis program received support through an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.

SUMMARY:Teaching Media Literacy and Empathy Through Primary Resources: Indianapolis
DESCRIPTION:Media literacy skills have become essential for young people to successfully navigate and critically assess the ever-increasing amount of information they receive throughout their day – on social media\, advertisements\, television\, and film. Therefore\, it is crucial for students to comprehend and identify how media\, both historically and in contemporary society\, can be used as a tool to incite hate and violence against certain groups. \nThis learning opportunity examines the events of the Holocaust through the lens of media\, by examining propaganda deployed by the Nazis to discriminate against Jews and other minorities. Educators will gain the tools to facilitate classroom discussions on the role and impact of Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust and support their students to critically analyze media in today’s world. \nThrough presentations and hands-on activities\, educators will also walk away with lesson plans and resources to ‘Do History’ in their classrooms and make connections to Auschwitz survivor\, Eva Kor as we take a look at the exhibit Eva Kor From Auschwitz to Indiana. \nRegistration is free of charge. Participants of this workshop are eligible for 6 hours of PGP points as well as a $40 stipend Amazon gift card. Lunch will be provided. Workshop is geared towards High School educators but can be adapted for all grades. \nPlease reach out to education@indianahistory.org with any questions. \nSponsored in part by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Midwest Region Program\, located at Illinois State University.
