SUMMARY:The City in the 21st Century: Celebrating the Reflective Practitioner
DESCRIPTION:Join the Penn IUR and Penn Press in welcoming Enrique Peñalosa Londoño\, former mayor of Bogotá\, Colombia\, to campus on January 23 .\n\n\n“An advanced city is not one where the poor own a car\,” writes Enrique Peñalosa “but one where the rich use public transport.” Former mayor of Bogotá\, Colombia\, Penalosa sees city design as projects that define human happiness\, dignity\, and equality. He worked to achieve that goal during his two terms (1998-2001 and 2016-2019) when he implemented the Transmilenio bike system and the city’s mass transit and bus rapid transit (BRT) systems\, along with several other infrastructure projects including hospitals and public schools. \nJoin the Penn Institute for Urban Research and Penn Press in welcoming Peñalosa to campus on January 23 at 12:00pm for a talk on his book\, Equality and the City: Urban Innovations for All Citizens. The book talk will be followed by with a panel discussion of reflective practitioners—urban leaders reflecting on and sharing their experiences. Panelists will include: \n· Judith Rodin\, former president of the University of Pennsylvania and author of The University and Urban Revival: Out of the Ivory Tower and Into the Streets \n· Manny Diaz\, former mayor of Miami and author of Miami Transformed: Rebuilding America One Neighborhood\, One City at a Time \n· Richard Freeland\, former president of Northeastern\, and author of Transforming the Urban University: Northeastern\, 1996-2006. \n· Eleanor Sharpe\, urban planner and former Executive Director of Philadelphia City Planning Commission \nThis event celebrates Penn IUR’s 20th anniversary and its City in the 21st Century book series published with Penn Press. This interdisciplinary series of books addresses both topical and long-range issues confronting the world’s cities\, from disaster response to cultural coexistence\, from civic engagement to urban revitalization. Learn more here. \nLunch included.

SUMMARY:Word\, Ink\, Gold\, and Paper: An Exploration of the Art of Illumination
DESCRIPTION:Illumination artist Behnaz Karjoo explores Islamic illumination – or tazhib – in a brief lecture followed by a participatory workshop.\n\n\nWolf Humanities Center • University of Pennsylvania \n2024–2025 FORUM ON KEYWORDS \nWord\, Ink\, Gold\, and Paper\nAn Exploration of the Art of Illumination\nIllumination artist Behnaz Karjoo will explore the evolution of Islamic illumination\, or tazhib\, and its role in manuscript decoration\, providing an overview of the traditional tools and materials involved. Visual images of illuminated manuscripts\, along with the tools and materials\, will illustrate the techniques involved in tazhib\, highlighting the precision and artistry. \nFollowing her lecture\, Karjoo will host a hands-on workshop\, inviting participants to delve into the basic techniques of Islamic illumination and to learn how to paint and outline with fine brushes. Using imitation gold and gouache\, they will paint a small design and bring it to life through traditional methods. By closely engaging with the artistry of tazhib in this session\, participants will deepen their understanding and appreciation of this intricate art. Space is limited for the workshop\, register early! \nPresented in collaboration with Penn’s Forum for Global Islamic Studies. Cosponsored by the Kislak Center for Special Collections\, Rare Books and Manuscripts and the Ibn Sina Fund. \nMore information: https://wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/karjoo \n––––––Before and after Behnaz Karjoo’s lecture and workshop\, view illuminated manuscripts from Kislak Center for Special Collections\, Rare Books and Manuscripts on display in the Lea Library!11:00–11:45am: Lecture1:00–3:00pm: Workshop (space is limited)–––––– \nBorn in Tehran\, Iran\, Behnaz Karjoo moved to the United States at a young age\, where she developed an interest in art. Her creative pursuits took a serious turn later in her life\, when she started to study jewelry design and photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Inspired by her early memories of Iranian mosque architecture\, illumination\, and calligraphy\, she soon pursued training in the classical Islamic arts. Under the mentorship of Mujgan Baskoylu\, a distinguished master in Turkish illumination\, miniature painting\, and paper cutting\, Behnaz began her study of illumination (tazhib) in 2011. Her dedication led her works to be exhibited worldwide\, and in 2016\, she earned her ijazet\, a certificate of mastery in illumination. Expanding her artistic repertoire\, Behnaz pursued the study of miniature painting in 2019\, followed by an exploration of square kufic calligraphy in 2021. These continuous pursuits exemplify her commitment to enriching her knowledge and skill set within the realm of Islamic arts. Behnaz is an active participant in the New York Islamic Arts collective\, founded by Baskoylu\, which is dedicated to preserving and promoting classical Islamic arts in the United States. In her artistic pursuits\, Behnaz holds the belief that while classical arts\, including illumination\, have a timeless foundation\, their potential for evolution and growth is boundless. She continually strives to present these art forms in innovative ways\, embracing experimentation with diverse materials\, colors\, compositions\, and designs. \n––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is required for both the lecture and the workshop. Space is limited for the workshop\, register early! \nThe Wolf Humanities Center values inclusivity and we aim to create a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds.

SUMMARY:Climate Anxiety Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the first ever CLIMATE ANXIETY DANCE PARTY\, where you are welcome to thrash and groove in all sorts of socially unacceptable ways. The International Panel on Climate Change has told us that we need to hit peak emissions by the year 2025. That’s this year!! Wait\, it gets better. We have 5 years left until we need to halve emissions from 2019 levels. Do these facts give you feelings?! Take a moment to notice that emotion contains the word motion. We are moved by our emotions and can also move and transform them by moving our bodies. It’s true! Stress has tangible effects. We can get stuck in a flight or fight mode. Engaging our bodies activates the parasympathetic nervous system\, allows us to complete the stress response\, and unclench the energy we need to move the world. CLIMATE ANXIETY DANCE PARTY is part experimental dance class\, part somatic therapy\, and part ceremony with a backbeat for world transformation. Come dressed comfortably\, come ready to share a messy smorgasbord of feelings\, and come ready to shake it all loose. \n\n\nLOCATION\nDiscovery Center\,
