Dr. Joubin is the author of the recently published book Shakespeare in East Asia (Oxford University Press, 2021), which raises such intriguing questions as: How did Kurosawa influence George Lucas’ Star Wars? Why do critics repeatedly use the adjective Shakespearean to describe Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (2019)? How do East Asian cinema and theatre portray vocal disability and transgender figures? Dr. Joubin will illustrate through entertaining examples how Shakespeare is connected to theatre, film, and literature in East Asia. Her book identifies four themes: Japanese formalistic innovations in sound and spectacle; reparative adaptations from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; the politics of gender and reception of films and touring productions in South Korea and the UK; and multilingual works in Singapore and the UK. These adaptations are reshaping debates about the relationship between East Asia and Europe, and this book reveals deep connections among Asian and Anglophone performances. Her lecture will take place on Sunday, January 9 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. online via Zoom. Register here! For more information, please visit Dr. Joubin's website or the official lecture eventbrite page.

Sparks Gallery’s programming in 2022 will explore the theme and concept of “perspective” from exhibited and represented artists at the gallery. Following a history of strong sales and diverse subject matter, Russian-born artist Alexander Arshansky leads the programming for 2022 with new work exemplifying his artistic style, while exploring shifting perspectives in Silent Witness. Alexander Arshansky revels in the concept of personifying his art, in that it serves as an observer. As a “witness” who silently experiences multiple lives and homes, the art is handed down through generations. We may draw parallels to other common “witnesses” in our lives, such as toys, cars, clothes, jewelry, vases, or even people, such as taxi drivers or postal workers. In observing those who are typically the observer, we are briefly allowed a change of perspective, if only to understand others better. Arshansky’s works will be on view at Sparks Gallery from January 16 through March 13. We invite you to join us in the gallery on Sunday, January 16 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the opening reception. Please RSVP here! For more information, please visit sparksgallery.com/product-category/gallery-exhibitions/silent-witness or call (619) 696-1416.
