March 28th, 2025 12PM | Penn Museum Rm 438  An afternoon of poetry and conversation with Fukudapero, a poet, artist, and multimodal anthropologist living in Kyoto, Japan. In this lunch gathering, we will think together about the intersections between anthropological inquiry and poetic practice specifically, and more broadly about what happens when we let our creative talents inspire and enrich our research projects.
Bio: Fukudapero is a poet, artist, and multimodal anthropologist living in Kyoto, Japan. Employing various modes of expression, viz: text, drawing, photography, film to installation, his works question reality and how they are collectively constructed. Highly commended by Forward Prize for Poetry 2020 (flowers like blue glass), his poetry has appeared in prominent magazines such as Gendaishi Techo, Bungakugaki, Australian Poetry Journal and more. fukuda is currently working on his second poetry collection, how to eat a mackerel (working title), a collection which investigates globalization and transcontinental folk imagination.

March 20th | 12pm | Room 438| Penn MuseumThis Third Thursday we will be joined by Omar and Cybille of Honeysuckle! Omar Tate and Cybille St.Aude-Tate are social entrepreneurs who believe in centering the Black experience and are fueled by the conviction that chefs have a social responsibility. Their overarching brand, Honeysuckle Projects, expands the mission of Honeysuckle Provisions into a network of community spaces centered around the values of ancestry, nourishment, and reclamation across pop-ups, dinner parties, and events.  Friday March 7 | Rainey | 6-8pmA chorus of voices from 1953 to 2024; interior subjectivities that render a spectral and meditative portrait of objects and remains – abducted, looted, and encased in centuries of deleterious colonial holding that nonetheless bear the faculty to speak back. The films in this program assert that there are as many paths to restitution as there are stolen objects and people. Millions, innumerable, unthinkable, with every person and item imbued with spiritual meaning and still worth imagining. At this screening we will be showing: Statues Also Die (1953) The Violence of a Civilization Without Secrets (2017) Dahomey (2024) YOU HIDE ME (1970)  MArch 15th 2025 | Rainey | 6PMA Story of Bones (2022, 95 min) tells the story of Annina van Neel as she works to reclaim the neglected history of St. Helena after the remains of thousands of formerly enslaved Africans are uncovered on the remote island. Following the film screening, we will host a talk back with Peggy King Jorde, the film's Impact and Consulting Producer, and a performance by the St. Thomas Kumina Collective. Kumina emerged in the parish of St. Thomas Jamaica when indentured laborers were brought from the Kongo region of Central Africa after the abolition of slavery in 1838, some of whom would likely have sojourned on St. Helena's island prior to being taken to Jamaica. The ritual builds a bridge to the ancestors through drumming, singing, and dancing, and unleashes its healing power to all who are present.
