The Heart of Desire at the Alvin Sherman Library

Valentine’s Day is for lovers. Hollywood tends to equate love and desire, but real-life love stories are so much richer, layered as they are with varying degrees of sex, commitment, connection, vulnerability, curiosity, humor, and unpredictability. Drs. Green and Flemons will share some insights regarding desire and love, drawing from 30 years of seeing couples in their clinical practice and 30 years of practice being a couple. They will explore what creates, builds, and sustains sexual attraction, desire, and intimacy in relationships over time.

Special Guests: Shelley Green, Ph.D., LMFT and Douglas G. Flemons, Ph.D., LMFT

Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market, Jan. 18 & 19

 

In conjunction with the exhibition Happy!, NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale brings Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market to Fort Lauderdale on January 18 and 19, 2020. The internationally renowned contemporary artist, who The New York Times has called one of the art world’s most popular provocateurs, has been staging his nomadic flea markets around the world since 1999 in locations from New York to London’s Tate Museum. Pruitt is inviting local artists and vendors to sell their wares during the two-day happening, which will be held at NSU Art Museum.

Taking the form of a traditional open-air bazaar, Rob Pruitt’s flea market is an opportunity to meet artists and take home an original artwork in a relaxed atmosphere. By highlighting bartering and haggling as both economic and performative, and featuring a diverse array of goods from artwork to housewares, Pruitt’s Flea Market blurs the line between art and commerce.

The Flea Market will be open Saturday, January 18, 11 AM – 5 PM and Sunday, January 19, Noon – 5 PM. Admission is free to the public.

NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) is delighted to invite you to the NSU Annual Film Series “The Reel.” The series features movies and discussion facilitated by Kate Waites, Ph.D., Aileen Farrar, Ph.D., and Yvette Fuentes, Ph.D., faculty in the Department of Literature and Modern Languages.

From the Oscar-nominated filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, Todos lo Saben (or Everybody knows) tells the story of Laura (Penélope Cruz) who travels from Argentina to her childhood village in Spain’s desolate Castilla-La Mancha region to attend a family wedding.
