SUMMARY:LaShawnda Crowe Storm-Sister Song:The Requiem
DESCRIPTION:Sister Song: The Requiem is a community-based project that examines how art and community co-creation processes can be used to heal the intergenerational trauma associated with enslavement and its aftermaths. The project\, led by artist LaShawnda Crowe Storm\, blurs the lines between the public and private by transforming mundane places into sacred spaces through public rituals.  \n A requiem is an act of remembrance for the dead. How does honoring the dead give life to the living? How do the living remember their histories while creating new futures? How does embracing  history help us release specific traumas and move toward a future where healing is possible? We explore these questions through the community co-creation process that is at the heart of Requiem: womb making. \n Each womb is handcrafted and designed in wax by Crowe Storm\, then cast in aluminum. After casting is completed\, Crowe Storm invites artists and community members to choose a womb. Womb makers then adapt and modify the womb by following these simple directions: Make this into a talisman or spiritual object to heal your/our histories\, be willing to allow what needs to emerge to emerge\, and transform the womb to reflect a vision of healing. Each womb maker must also be willing to continuously ask themselves the question\, “How do I reclaim the ‘spirit of the womb’ when that spirit has been stolen\, harmed\, wounded?”  \n Requiem is the second iteration of Sister Song. The first included 8 wombs that were installed as part of the exhibit Keeper of My Mothers’ Dream (2017\, Indianapolis).   Requiem incudes nearly 50 vessels on exhibition: the wombs by the original 8 participants along with 40 others\, some invited by the original womb makers and others identified by Crowe Storm. In addition\,  some of the original 8 womb makers created new wombs. The exhibit also includes newly commissioned poems by Maria Hamilton Abegunde. \nParticipating womb makers include: Abegunde\, Afriye We-Kandodis\, Alice Berry\, Ariana Beedie\, Bambi Aldridge\, Breon Tyler\, Clare Wildhack-Nolan and Ezmae Wildhack-Cain\, D. Olivia Jones\,  Joyce Moore\, Juaquita Callaway\, Julia Rodreguiz \, Keesha Dixon\, Kianga Jinaki\, LaToya Marlin\, Lillis Taylor\, Malaika Baxa\,  Marilyn Kunkle\, Melissa Larimer\, Monica Johnson\, N’dieye Gray Danavall\, Phyllis Boyd\, Ronda Chapman\, Samantha Horton\,  Sharon Clark\, Shauta Marsh\, Stacia Murphy\, Stephanie Roberston\, Trish Williams\, Tysha Ahmad\, Uzuri Asad\, Val Tate\, Veronica Schwartz DeFazio\, Viola Moten Ratcliffe\, Yolanda Echols and Yvette Upton. \nLaShawnda Crowe Storm is a mixed media and community-based artist\, activist\, community builder and occasionally an urban farmer. Whether making artwork or sowing seeds\, she uses her creative power as a vehicle for dialogue around topics such as racial and gender violence\, social change and justice. At the core of her practice is a desire to create community; any community in which the process of making art creates a space for difficult discussions with an eye towards community healing. She has received numerous awards for art and community activism. Crowe Storm received an M.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004. \nImage: LaShawnda Crowe Storm\, “Mother At The Crossroads\,” bronze\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Pyrography with Nasreen Khan
DESCRIPTION:Pyrography\, commonly known as wood burning\, is the art of drawing and writing using a burning tool for etching designs onto different surfaces\, usually wood.\nYou can use pyrography to add drawings or writings to wood\, gourds\, leather\, and any other material that wouldn’t be destroyed by the heat from the burning tool.\n\nKhan will talk about the process\, give examples and allow attendees to try it out (must sign a waiver).\n\nIndianapolis-based artist Nasreen Khan grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and moved to the gritty American Midwest by way of New York City. She and her toddler son live in their bungalow on Indianapolis’ Near Westside. On a Friday night she can be found cooking various organ meats or chasing down a stellar mint julep.\nHer Indianapolis art is all a tribute to Haughville. Since moving to Indianapolis and putting down roots\, walking the streets of Haughville and becoming part of the fabric here has kept her grounded. Haughville has been the tableau for building community\, exploring her queer identity\, motherhood\, and teaching her son about race.\n\n\nWhat’s This?\nWe at Big Car are teaming up with Downtown Indy and the City of Indianapolis — with support from the Capital Improvement Board and the Indiana War Memorials Commission— to spark Monument Circle with human-scale activities like games\, live music\, artmaking\, and socializing in a comfortable place. We’re based from the southwest quadrant in front of the Emmis.

SUMMARY:After Work Happy Hour - Energy Readings\, Performance\, Artisan Vendors and more...
DESCRIPTION:Join us after work for Happy Hour at Lockerbie Marketplace — a lovely greenspace next to Needler’s Fresh Market.  Purchase goods from local artisans and food vendors\, enjoy live music by Mina Keohane (composer and vocalist) and visit our Sun King beer garden located right off the Cultural Trail on Alabama Street. All ages welcome. Featured vendors include Jovan Art and Vintage Kat and Mom. Numerology Readings by Ellen Robinson (Art of You) will also be available. \n\nAbout Mina Keohane \nMina Keohane is a composer\, instrumentalist\, and vocalist. Her songs can lean as jazz-influenced progressive pop\, and have been described as “if Joni Mitchell and Aimee Mann had a baby with Charles Mingus.” \nAs a performer\, she can be found singing at her monthly residency at the Chatterbox Jazz Club every 3rd Tuesday of the month\, as well as playing keyboards and accordion with Jeff Kelly & the Graveyard Shift\, Sarah Grain & the Billions of Stars\, Nashville-based recording artist Brandon Whyde\, The Dopacetics\, Hip-Hop Artist TJ Reynolds & the Freehand Orchestra\, and her own band Mina & the Wondrous Flying Machine. She has had the opportunity and privilege of opening for many wonderful artists including Becca Stevens\, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats\, Blues Traveler\, Dwight Yoakam\, Esme Patterson & Robby Krieger. \n\nAbout Ellen Robinson \nEach human is uniquely coded with their own energy blueprint. Within each human’s coding\, which Ellen calls one’s organic formula\, lies all that is needed to break out of habitual patterning. Using one’s birthday and name given at birth\, the language of numerology is one way to read this distinct coding. Ellen Robinson has been reading number energy since 2012. Each number or energy is aligned with a theme or archetype and exists along a spectrum. In your reading\, Ellen will share the themes your soul has chosen to experience in this lifetime\, in service to the evolution of your consciousness and freeing of your soul. A numerology experience with Ellen is truly an opening into your own Self – a portal to one’s truest expression.
