SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Happy Together" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second film in the Ackland Film Forum’s spring series on Global Queer Cinema: Happy Together (Wong Kar Wai\, 1997). The series is a collaboration with the Film Studies Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill\, and features a selection of four international films presented in connection with the Ackland’s Close Looks digital initiative. View the selected films on your own or join us for a watch party. Watch parties will be followed by a live post-film panel discussion with scholars from around the globe. \nHappy Together will be available to stream March 12-18\, 2021 with a virtual watch party on Tuesday\, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9:15 p.m. We are excited to welcome Dr. Stephen Teo (Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore) for our post-film panel\, who will be in conversation with Rick Warner (UNC-Chapel Hill) and Martin L. Johnson (UNC-Chapel Hill). Register for free tickets below to receive a link to stream the film and a link to attend the panel via Zoom on March 16. \nAbout Happy Together  \nOne of the most searing romances of the 1990s\, Wong Kar Wai’s emotionally raw\, lushly stylized portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up\, make up\, and fall apart again and again. Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong — when the country’s LGBT community suddenly faced an uncertain future — Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that’s by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color\, Happy Together is an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes. —Janus Films  \nTuesday\, March 16\, 2021\nHappy Together Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:15 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration. Streaming links will be sent at a later date. Registration is open! \nThe Ackland Film Forum is supported in part by the Laughing Gull Foundation.

SUMMARY:Virtual Family & Friends Sunday: Pottery and Postcards
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Tar Heel State through pottery and postcards! Get a closer look at works from the Ackland and Wilson Library’s Special Collections. Both pottery and postcards can be functional\, aesthetically pleasing\, and fun to make! Each can also inform us about the past-  what North Carolina used to look like or how objects have changed over time. \nEach month\, the Ackland hosts a free D.I.Y program for families\, kids\, and the young at heart featuring hands-on art activities\, live performances\, tours\, and more. \nA mix of D.I.Y. and live interactive activities await you\, inspired by central North Carolina! \nNorth Carolina’s First Peoples and Pottery\nWe start off with North Carolina’s First Peoples\, many who were potters and makers. Explore this page for information about early pottery in our area\, and thank you to the Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC-Chapel Hill for this research! \nArt-Making Activity: Coil Pots\nWatch a quick YouTube video to learn how to make a Salt Dough Coil Pot! \nMake a Coil Pot with Salt Dough Clay PDF (Accessible) \n“The Woodland people at Doerschuk who made Badin ware used manufacturing techniques similar to those in neighboring regions. They strengthened vessels for firing by adding sand and sometimes pebbles to the wet clay. Also\, like people throughout the ancient Southeast\, they used the method called coiling to make their pots. \nBasically\, coiling involves making long ropes or “coils” of clay. Starting at the base\, potters build the vessel’s walls by placing coils on top of each other. They then blend the coils together and thin the walls by hitting the sides with a wooden paddle. After the walls are built and paddled\, the pot is then fired to harden the clay. \nOften people wrapped the paddle with string\, or covered it with fabric\, or carved it with a design. Every time the paddle hit the pot (while the clay was still wet\, of course)\, it left a reverse impression of the string or design on the pot’s surface. Archaeologists call this technique paddle stamping.” – Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC \nVirtual Mini Field Trip -Seagrove\, N.C.\nThe town of Seagrove is a destination for pottery enthusiasts and makers alike! It is home to the NC Pottery Center.  \nWatch these short clips to learn more. \nVideo #1 \nVideo #2 \nRead this article about Seagrove in Artsy. \nPostcard Exploration\nNorth Carolina Postcards is a project of the North Carolina Collection\, located in historic Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives holds more than 12\,000 North Carolina postcards contained primarily in two collections: the North Carolina Postcard Collection and the Durwood Barbour Collection of North Carolina Postcards. \nThis digital project contains a selection of materials from the North Carolina Collection’s postcard collections\, including at least one image for each of North Carolina’s one hundred counties. Several counties have a close tie to pottery historically or culturally\, which we have listed below (this list is by no means complete!) \nBadin\, North Carolina \nBuncombe County\, North Carolina \nHaywood County\, North Carolina \nMoore County\, North Carolina \nCollection Connection\nCurrently\, a variety of North Carolina ceramics is on view in Object Lessons through May 14\, 2021. Explore the full exhibition virtually on Kuula. This portion of Object Lessons was curated with Professor Patricia Sawin\, who is utilizing the Ackland’s collection in her “Introduction to Folklore” class. \nYou will see several examples from Jugtown Pottery\, which is located in Seagrove\, North Carolina. \nArtist Spotlight: Mark Hewitt\nLearn more about the local artist Mark Hewitt\, whose work is featured in Object Lessons! \nArtist Website \nWorks in the Ackland’s Collection \n\n
