Friday 1/30 – Thursday 2/5
31 SATURDAY A drawing of a small, horizontal female stick figure and a large male stick figure on top of her, with the title Daddy Fucking Me scrawled across the page, is one of the items in Raised by Wolves: Photographs and Documents of Runaways, a multimedia exhibit assembled by San Francisco photographer Jim Goldberg. It was drawn by one of the many teens Goldberg befriended be-tween 1968 and 1993 while working on a book about young runaways in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Among the 170 photos in the show is one of a boy’s torso, scarred where his father shot him; in another a well-dressed couple walks by an emaciated boy lying on a piece of newspaper on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The exhibit opens today at noon and runs through March 21; Goldberg will give a lecture on March 12. It’s free, at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, 600 S. Michigan. Call 312-663-5554 for more.

3 TUESDAY U.S. foreign policy has gotten a lot more complicated since we lost our favorite whipping boy, the big, bad Soviet Union. Sure, we still have the stock Middle Eastern villains and our NATO pals in Europe to deal with, but according to Northwestern University professor and World Trade Center Chicago president Arthur I. Cyr, migration, tourism, and the media are just as important in today’s foreign relations as diplomacy and military power. His new book, After the Cold War: American Foreign Policy, Europe, and Asia, examines the economic and other forces behind our current approach. He’ll discuss his work tonight at 6 at the Newberry Library Bookstore, 60 W. Walton. It’s free. Call 312-255-3520 for more.
