Dear Colleagues

This cross-pollinating conversation will highlight how communities are navigating the climate crisis and amplify efforts and experiences in NYC, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico that focus on water, food and wellness. Join these activists Ysanet Batista (Woke Foods), Jacqueline Pilati (Reclaim Seed NYC) Olatokunboh Obasi (Omaroti, from the Well of Indigenous Wisdom), and Amara Abdal Figueroa (Tierrafiltra) who will discuss their projects meant to inform, inspire and incite student-led and community-based efforts organized at and adjacent to LaGuardia College.

Dear College Community,
We want to share news of the New York Forum of Amazigh Film (NYFAF) which normally would have held its 6th film festival in the Little Theater. Following our successful spring streaming in May 2020, we would like to continue our “Streaming for a Purpose” initiative. We are thrilled to announce that LPAC and NYFAF will be streaming Mounia Meddour’s “vibrant and touching” (NY Times) film Papicha on November 18th and 19th.
A live discussion will take place via Zoom on Friday November 20th at 1 pm. To RSVP and watch the film: https://lpac.nyc. To attend the live discussion:
Please let us know as soon as possible if you’re planning to watch the film with your class. Here’s a description of the film:
Papicha. Drama – France, Algeria – 2019
In French and Arabic with English Subtitles
Synopsis Algeria, 1990s. Nedjma (Lyna Khoudri), an 18 year-old student passionate about fashion design refuses to let the tragic events of the Algerian Civil War to keep her from experiencing a normal life and going out at night with her friend Wassila. As the social climate becomes more conservative, she rejects the new bans set by the radicals and decides to fight for her freedom and independence by putting on a fashion show.
Mounia Meddour was born and raised in Algeria. At the age of 18, she moved to France with her family as a result of death threats they received during the Algerian Civil War. She studied journalism before joining the summer directing program at La Fémis in Paris. Her first short film, Edwige (2011) won the Ciné+ Award at the Saint-Jean-de- Luz Festival, the UniFrance Short Film Award and was featured in several festivals.
We hope you join us!
Best,
Habiba, Caron, Lucy, and the rest of the NYFAF team
Hi All,
***Please see the very important instructions about how to access our next reading in the “Upcoming Work” section below.***
Two announcements came across my email that I think some of you might be interested in: a list of opportunities and events sponsored by the Center for Career and Professional Development and a paid internship opportunity
This week you focused on your first papers.
Next week we begin reading Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno. We will be using a version of this text prepared by myself and two professors at Hostos Community College, Dr. Craig Bernardini and Dr. Krystyna Michael. We used Manifold to create this version.
***Please follow these directions to set up an account on Manifold***
After you register for Manifold, you should join the class reading group by clicking on this link: https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/my/groups?join=VW3M37OJ
Annotating this story works very similarly to what you were doing on the course site. Please make sure you are posting your annotation in our reading group. Here is how to do that.
