He will discuss the work of Chantal Akerman, a Brussels-born and now Paris-based filmmaker, world famous for her deconstructive style, pessimistic humor and corrosive observations of identity, sexuality, and politics. Akerman’s films have been called the single most important and coherent body of work by a women director, and her film “Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles” (1975) was praised by the New York Times as ”the first masterpiece of the feminine in the history of cinema”. In addition to her many short and feature films, Chantal Akerman has produced documentaries and video installations.
J. Hoberman of the The Village Voice has described Ackerman as, “Comparable in force and originality to Godard or Fassbinder, Chantal Akerman is arguably the most important European director of her generation.”

Conversations on Creative Practice with Holly Ewald, Tomorrow Wednesday March 5 from 5-7pm
Conversations on Creative Practice with Holly Ewald, Tomorrow Wednesday March 5 from 5-7pm
How do you nurture creativity in the little corners of your world? How do you cultivate your creative practice? Join us for a Conversation with Holly Ewald, a studio and community artist who works in a variety of media, including artist books, collage, monoprints, mail art and installation.
Holly has been an artist in residence at the Millay Colony in upstate New York and the Skowhegan School of Art in Maine. She was an artist in residence at New Urban Arts from 2002-03, where she initiated a mail art exchange between New Urban Arts artists and established artists in Rhode Island. Holly now serves on New Urban Arts Board of Directors. A graduate of University of Oregon and Brooklyn College, Holly has been awarded grants from the Rhode Island State Council for the Arts, the Rhode Island Council on the Humanities and a New Works grant from The Rhode Island Foundation, among others. Holly's collaborative work has been published in River Styx 56, The Visual Word, Resurgence Magazine (Spr. 04), A Moving Journal, and The Penland School of Handmade Books and Community Performance, an Introduction by Petra Kuppers.
Recently, Holly has been working with folklorist Michael Bell, in Pawtuxet Village where they both live, developing hands-on community arts and humanities projects that can be seen at www.voicesandvisions.org. Awards for this collaborative work include an education award from the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission and a Clearwater Award from The Waterfront Center in Washington D.C.
This spring, New Urban Arts is hosting a new series of five public Conversations in which unique individuals share how they integrate creativity into their personal and professional lives. We'll have guests talking about drawing, writing, cooking, gardening, list-making, and the other personal rituals that we carve out to transcend everyday lives.
Conversations is located at 743 Westminster Street in Providence and is free and open to the public. This new program is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts and organized by the Arts Mentoring Fellows at New Urban Arts, Andrew Oesch and Peter Hocking. Visit www.newurbanarts.org for an updated schedule and listen to podcasts of New Urban Arts Conversations Series.
