Emergent Storytelling | 2023-2024 Theme
CEE #45
On behalf of the CEE, I want to welcome you to our theme year “Emergent Storytelling!” I greet you from the Andean-Amazonian foothills of Colombia where a festival was recently organized that included a carnival march, poetic conversations, music concerts, film screenings, photographic installations, and graphic design to accompany the collective struggle to defend the territory from the incursion of multinational industrial mining.

Upcoming events
We welcome anthropologist Andrea Ballestero for the International Research Cluster/CLALS lecture series "Elemental Thinking: Troubling States of Matter in the Americas".

At the second virtual Third Thursday of the academic year, we will meet with the author of "A Country You Can Leave," Asale Angel-Ajani, who will be joined in conversation with Keisha Khan Perry. We have purchased five copies of the book to give to interested audience members. Get in touch if you are interested!

BE HOLDING // DIR. BY BROOKE O'hARRA
We are excited to share "Be Holding," the Philadelphia-based collaboration between Brooke O'Harra (CEE Affiliated Faculty), Ross Gay, Tyshawn Sorey, Yarn/Wire, and the students of Girard College. This original performance transforms Ross Gay's award-winning poem of the same name into a multidisciplinary, site-specific experience that combines poetry, music, choreography, and video.
WATCH & LISTEN
On May 1, we celebrated our first five years with a 12-hour program themed “Carnival” at the Penn Museum from 10:00 am to midnight. CEE’s Carnival featured academic workshops, panel discussions, screenings, and performances, and installations. Check out this video recap of our event!
