SUMMARY:[Postponed until Spring 2025] Thinking Spaces: Eric Fillion\, Sean Mills\, and Désirée Rochat\, "Statesman of the Piano: A Conversation on the Politics of Archiving\, Curating\, and Music Making"
DESCRIPTION:*Postponed until Spring 2025* \nPlease join us for Thinking Spaces: “Statesman of the Piano: A Conversation on the Politics of Archiving\, Curating\, and Music Making” with Eric Fillion\, Sean Mills\, and Désirée Rochat.\n \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via IICSI’s new Twitch Stream. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \nTo attend the talk in-person or online\, RSVP via our Google Forms. \nMore About the Roundtable Discussion\nPlease join co-editors Eric Fillion\, Sean Mills\, and Désirée Rochat for a conversation around and about Statesman of the Piano: Jazz\, Race\, and History in the Life of Lou Hooper (MQUP\, 2023). The book “sparks new conversations about Hooper’s legacy while shedding light on the cross-border travels and wartime experiences of Black musicians\, the politics of archiving and curating\, and the connections between race and music in the twentieth century.” \nMore About the Presenters\nEric Fillion is director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI) and assistant professor at the School of Languages and Literatures (SOLAL) at the University of Guelph. His research explores the social and symbolic importance of music\, within countercultures and in Canadian international relations. His ongoing work on cultural diplomacy and Canadian-Brazilian relations builds on the experience he has acquired as a musician. It also informs his current research on the postwar Canadian cultural public sphere: his two main projects examine the emergence of the music festival phenomenon in Canada and the entangled sonic histories of diasporic social movements. An affiliate of the North American Cultural Diplomacy Initiative (NACDI)\, Eric Fillion is the founder of the Tenzier archival record label and co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation. He is the author of JAZZ LIBRE et la révolution québécoise: musique-action\, 1967-1975 and Distant Stage: Quebec\, Brazil\, and the Making of Canada’s Cultural Diplomacy. His latest book\, Statesman of the Piano: Jazz\, Race\, and History in the Life of Lou Hooper (co-edited with Sean Mills and Désirée Rochat)\, is now available through McGill-Queen’s University Press \nSean Mills is professor and Canada Research Chair in Canadian and Transnational History at the University of Toronto. He is the author of The Empire Within: Postcolonial Thought and Political Activism in Sixties Montreal\, and A Place in the Sun: Haiti\, Haitians\, and the Remaking of Quebec. Most recently\, Mills is the co-editor (with Eric Fillion and Désirée Rochat) of Statesman of the Piano: Jazz\, Race\, and History in the Life of Lou Hooper (2023). Mills is a Member of the College of New Scholars\, Artists\, and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada and a 2024 Fellow of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.\n \nDésirée Rochat is a community educator and transdisciplinary scholar with a PhD in Educational Studies from McGill University. Guided by an integrative approach connecting historical research\, community archival preservation and education\, her work aims to document\, theorize and transmit (hi)stories of Black communities’ activism. Rochat is a FRQSC Post-doctoral fellow at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University.
