2:00 PM to 6:00 PM - Huddleston Hall Huddleston Ballroom: Full-size museum replicas of the ancient Chinese warriors, chariots and bamboo slips found in the third century BCE Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor will be exhibited at the University of New Hampshire Jan. 21, 2 to 6 p.m., and Jan. 22 through 30, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibition will take place in Huddleston Hall Ballroom. It is free and open to the public.The Terracotta Army site was discovered in 1974 by local farmers in the Lintong District in Shaanxi, China. It turned out to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of modern times. Near the unexcavated tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi lay an army of life-sized terra cotta soldiers and horses, interred for more than 2,000 years. More than 8,800 life-size terra cotta figures of warriors, chariots and horses have been unearthed. The warriors were intended to protect the emperor’s tomb and support him as he reigned over an empire in the afterlife. The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized, varying in height, uniform and hairstyle according to their rank. They were painted with a colored lacquer finish and equipped with real weapons and armor. Each warrior has distinctive facial features and expressions. The site was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. The UNH exhibition will feature replicas of 17 warriors, 2 half sized bronze chariots, one horse and 36 bamboo slips, a medium the ancient Chinese used for writing before paper. The slips cover a variety of topics, including law cases from the period. Students and schools may sign up for hands-on workshops and lectures to learn more about the history of the Site by contacting Confucius.institute@unh.edu. This event is sponsored by the Confucius Institute and the College of Liberal Arts at UNH.

12:00 PM to 4:00 PM - Paul Creative Arts Center Johnson Theatre: Audition information for the main stage productions produced by the Theatre and Department.

5:00 PM to 7:00 PM - Memorial Union Building Theater II: College Behind Bars, a four-part documentary film series directed by award-winning filmmaker Lynn Novick, produced by Sarah Botstein, and executive produced by Ken Burns, tells the story of a small group of incarcerated men and women struggling to earn college degrees and turn their lives around in one of the most rigorous and effective prison education programs in the United States, the Bard Prison Initiative. We will be showing a one-hour condensed version of the series, followed by a discussion with an alumnus of the program. Featured Speaker: Giovannie Hernandez (Bard College ’17) In his own words: “I was incarcerated for 11 years and 6 months. While in prison, I earned a GED, completed vocational training and satisfied other mandatory programs. None of this was as meaningful or as transformative as my pursuit of higher education. "For most, prison is an experience without purpose. It is traumatic, exhausting and emotionally and physically damaging. Because our criminal justice system prioritizes punishment over genuine rehabilitation, prison often does not adequately prepare people to return to society. But I got lucky. While incarcerated at New York’s Eastern correctional facility, I was able to attend college through the Bard Prison Initiative (BPI). It was one of the hardest challenges of my life. I took the same classes as students at Bard College — a private, liberal arts school in Hudson, New York. "My educational experience before then had been almost entirely prescriptive. I knew school as a place where educators told me what to memorize, what to think, what to know. It did little more than make me a passive learner, a receptacle for information.”[1] Mr. Hernandez now works as an Operations Manager for the Code Cooperative, a community of people who learn, use, and build technology to create life changing possibilities for individuals and communities impacted by incarceration.

12:40 PM to 2:00 PM - Hamilton Smith Hall 240: Community Discussion on P.E. Moskowitz’ The Case Against Free Speech: The First Amendment, Fascism, and the Future of Dissent. Given material barriers to free speech in an unequal world, Moskowitz argues, there can be no meaningful definition of free speech. Instead, there is a history of the ways in which the concept of free speech has been deployed in the United States, from the country’s founding moments, to Charlottesville and Standing Rock. Moskowitz illustrates the ways in which the concept has been used to silence critics of racism and capitalism. Ultimately, Moskowtiz proposes that activists seek to move the line between action and expression in order to advance equality and true civil liberty. P.E. Moskowitz is a journalist whose work has appeared in The Nation, Wired, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New Republic, VICE, OUT Magazine and others. They are author of a book about gentrification entitled How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality and the Future of the Neighborhood. The Case Against Free Speech was published by Bold Type Books in 2019. Books are available at The Durham Book Exchange. This event is sponsored by the Department of English and the Department of Women's and Gender Studies.
