SUMMARY:Geographies of Extraction: Loss\, Power\, and Cultural Rematriation
DESCRIPTION:It was on a tour of the British Museum years ago that Mohegan theater artist Madeline Sayet (Where We Belong) discovered a collection of Native American skulls—objects the museum classified as artifacts\, but which she understood as ancestors\, alive with the yearning to return home. In Gabriela Wiener’s irreverently witty novel\, Undiscovered (tr. Julia Sanches)\, the Peruvian writer is confronted by her complicated family colonial heritage in a museum in Paris when she discovers the man responsible for pillaging these pre-Columbian artifacts was her own great-great-grandfather. In Who Owns Beauty? (tr. Andrew Brown)\, French art historian Bénédicte Savoy\, whose work has fundamentally reshaped debates on provenance\, museums\, and cultural restitution\, asks us to examine how great works of art collected in Western museums came to be there. \nIn a conversation moderated by PEN America’s Executive Director of Artists at Risk Connection\, Julie Trébault\, these writers ask: what do the journeys of human remains\, cultural artifacts\, and iconic artworks reveal about our history? What makes the violence and asymmetries that have shaped their extraction\, preservation\, and return both collective and deeply personal experiences?

SUMMARY:Closing Night – Under Siege: The Perils of Journalism in an Age of State Repression
DESCRIPTION:Around the world\, journalists are facing unprecedented attacks as governments crack down on press freedoms. From outright censorship to threats and arrests\, reporters are increasingly at risk for doing the vital work of informing the public. \nJoin Indian journalist Rana Ayyub of The Washington Post\, George Packer of the Atlantic\, and Filipina trauma journalist Patricia Evangelista of Rappler as they sit down with PEN America’s interim Co-CEO and Chief Program Officer\, Free Expression\, Summer Lopez\, for an urgent conversation about the escalating dangers journalists face when governments target the press. This discussion will explore how government repression not only silences and endangers the media\, but also emboldens other dangerous actors who feel that they too have the license to threaten\, harass and attack journalists with impunity. \nThis event will have CART Captioning. Patricia Evangelista will be joining virtually.
