SUMMARY:LaShawnda Crowe Storm with Maria E Hamilton Abegunde: Keeper of My Mothers’ Dreams
DESCRIPTION:November 3-January 20 \nOpen every first Friday 6-10 p.m. \n\nKeeper of My Mothers’ Dreams expands the dialogues began in Crowe Storm’s works Her Name is Laura Nelson and Be/Coming with newly commissioned pieces: Poems\, Origin and Sister Song.\n\n\n\nOn the South wall of the main gallery is Her Name Is Laura Nelson. It is Quilt I from The Lynch Quilts Project Series which explores the history and ramifications of racial violence in America\, particularly lynching\, through the textile tradition of quilting. Crowe Storm started the series 15 years ago. Her Name is Laura Nelson explores the intersection of lynching and gender violence. \n\n\n\nIn the North section of the main gallery is Be/Coming\, the first in the series Masquerade Americana\, a collaboration between Crowe Storm and Maria Eliza Hamilton Abegunde that began in 2007. This piece is rooted in the various masquerade traditions found throughout Africa\, particularly Gelede (Gail-lah-day) and Egungun (Ay-goon-goon) of the Yoruba in Nigeria. Gelede celebrates female mystical power\, while Egungun honors one’s ancestors.The Masquerade Americana series addresses historical and contemporary social ills and in/justices rooted in the American context from a Black / African-American lens.\n\n\n\nOrigin\, in the west section of the main gallery\, is a bronze casting of the pelvic bone of an unknown African American woman. \n\n\n \n\n\nOn the East wall is the poetry of Abegunde. The poems Be/Coming\, Laura Nelson Speaks\, Origin\, and Birth Song were written specifically for the ongoing collaboration with Crowe Storm. The remaining poems\, The Answer to Your Question and Supplication\, are earlier works that call attention to the historical erasure and disappearance of young Black girls and women. Supplication is also a prayer to the Yoruba deity Osun that combines elements of oriki for Osun (praise names) with a plea for guidance to find\, in this case\, Tionda and Diamond Bradley who were reported disappeared/missing on July 6\, 2001.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe writings and libation bowl add new layers to the experiences of remembering words and performances that examine how the abuse\, loss\, and commodification of one’s womanhood and humanity can be transformed through processes that lead to healing and the rebirthing and re/making of identity. \n\n\n \n\n\nIn the installation room is Sister Song\, grounded within the context of community co-creation efforts\, the bronze womb shapes were given to selected artists to complete their transformation. \n\n\n \n\n\nEach piece exhibited in Keeper of My Mothers’ Dreams was developed with the hands of many.\n\n\nAbout Lashawnda Crowe Storm \nIf life were a photo\, then Crowe Storm’s artwork would be its negative\, seeking to explore those aspects in our society that have been ignored or forgotten such as history\, lynching\, misogyny\, slavery and suicide. Her art is a form of social work and she uses it to open doorways to community dialogue\, which is the first step to healing\, which in itself leads to wider social change. Through her work\, a voice is given to the marginalized people and disregarded aspects of our society. \nAbout Maria E Hamilton Abegunde \nMaria E Hamilton Abegunde is a Memory Keeper\, poet\, ancestral priest in the Yoruba Orisa tradition\, and a Reiki Master. Her research and creative work respectfully approach the Earth and human bodies as sites of memory\, and always with the understanding that memory never dies\, is subversive\, and can be recovered to transform transgenerational trauma and pain into peace and power. She is a visiting lecturer in the department of African American and African Diaspora Studies and the founding director of The Graduate Mentoring Center at Indiana University. \nA series of events accompany the exhibition:\nDecember 3\, 3-5 p.m. \nBeComing Whole: It Takes a Village to Heal a Community \nJoin artists featured in Sister Song for a discussion about how the project developed and what it means to become whole through the process of making art that represents their own births. The artists will share why they accepted the invitation to participate\, why they selected the “womb” that they did\, how and why they selected the materials\, what they learned about themselves in the process\, and what was the most transformative part of this creation. \nDecember 9\, 3-5 p.m. \n\nJanuary 13\, 3-5 p.m. \nAfriye Wekandodis: Telling Our Stories to Be Free \nSongs for Laura Nelson (Performance) \nSinger\, performer and Sister Song womb-maker\, Afriye We-kandodis will present a two-part performance examining the themes present in Keeper of My Mothers’ Dreams. Sista Yo Mama U n Me Too shares the story of violation then reclamation and transformation as an enslaved woman grapples rape and how she spoke life into the spirit of a fellow tribesman who was used to violate her.   Through the performance\,I Am Laura Nelson she’ll bring voice and life to Laura Nelson. \n\nJanuary 20\, 3-5pm \nKeeping our Mothers’ Dreams Alive \nFor many of us\, our mothers never spoke their dreams out loud. Sometimes\, they did not dare dream them. We\, however\, are the ones they waited and are waiting for. We also have our own dreams. The power of dreamtime and the word are this: to remind us who we are\, to soothe our souls\, and to create futures that break away from the past but do not forget them. The exhibition will end with poetry readings\, spoken word performances\, and ritual to remember and give gratitude to all our Mothers’ Dreams. \nThis exhibit was made possible by the Herbert Simon Family Foundation\, Alan Mills and Sun King \nPictured: LaShawnda Crowe Storm\,”Untitled”(2017)\, bronze casting of pelvic bone\nImage courtesy of Polina Osherov and the artist.

SUMMARY:Audrey Barcio: Under Influence
DESCRIPTION:Heritage is a pressing concern to our generation. Should we allow the past to influence us—are we bound to ancient tools\, materials and techniques? Or should we endeavor to make work that is specific to our time\, embracing technology and its untested\, ambivalent ramifications? If we do\, are we at risk of becoming complicit in a catastrophe\, or a pale reflection of something fleeting? \nIn her solo exhibition Under Influence at Tube Factory Artspace in Indianapolis\, Audrey Barcio explores these questions in a new series of paintings that examines where the heritage of Modernism intersects with the tools of the Virtual Industrial Age. Her starting point for this body of work is the iconic grey and white checkerboard pattern recognized by contemporary digital designers as a symbol for emptiness waiting to be filled. Transforming that virtual nothingness into concrete form\, Barcio employs it to empower interpretations of the iconographic legacy of our Modernist forbearers. \nThis is a vision of an aesthetic symbology as futuristic as it is rooted in the constructed languages of the past: Suprematism\, Geometric Abstraction\, Futurism\, Orphism\, Color Field Painting\, Post-painterly Abstraction\, Minimalism. The work transcends the accepted cultural raison d’être of this century—the cult of self—to evoke instead the universal. \nUnder Influence speaks to something ancestral\, universal\, infinite\, and essential. It is a conversation arising not from coteries but from the unifying elements of a common world: shape\, color\, line\, form\, material\, surface\, and the infinite potentialities that arise from relationships. \nCommission of these new works were made possible by the Herbert Simon Family Foundation.\nRead more about Barcio in this Pattern Magazine story. \nAudrey Barcio received her BA from Herron School of Art and Design and her MFA from the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. She attended the Pont-Aven School of Contemporary Art in Brittany\, France\, and completed a residency at the Vermont Studio Center in 2017. Her work has been published in New American Paintings and has been featured in multiple group exhibitions around the U.S.\, including Art in America at the Art Miami Satellite Fair and GLAMFA at UC Long Beach. She has had solo exhibitions at Syracuse University in New York\, in the Las Vegas Government Center\, and at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. Her work is included in several private collections and in the permanent collection of the Barrick Museum of Art. She currently lives and works in Chicago. \nImage: Audrey Barcio\, Second Choice\, 2017

SUMMARY:Yoga at Lockerbie Marketplace
DESCRIPTION:Join us every Tuesday evening in August for FREE YOGA at Lockerbie Marketplace provided by The Hot Room Downtown! Step away from the hustle and bustle of Indianapolis for a relaxing experience in one of the city’s hidden green spaces. Take a moment to find your calm with instructor Joel Wayman and continue your week feeling relaxed and refreshed. \nAbout Wayman \nI have been in a relationship with fitness for over ten years. I am always finding ways to stay flexible\, lean\, strong and in the end transform my body to be healthier and my mind to become happier. My love for yoga started young with my mom\, who learned from her mom\, showing us children how to do stretches she used before the start of her days. It was not until 2016 that I started practicing yoga consistently. I was introduced to hot yoga by my best friend and cousin Bria. We decided on taking Bikram yoga class at The Hot Room. It felt incredible and my body and mind were feeling things I’d never felt before. I immediately signed up and started coming regularly as much as I could. It was transformative. I continued with my practice daily and tried not just Bikram\, but Vinyasa and Pilates as well. I found it to be incredibly important to practice as many different styles as I could and found my body to start changing and my mind to start healing. \nWithin 6 months of practicing I became an instructor at The Hot Room by going through an Inferno Hot Pilates training in Chicago. Two months later I started my 200 RYT at The Hot Room. \nI love teaching Inferno Hot Pilates because it’s like a workout party. Results are also noticeable within a short period of time as long as you commit to the practice. \nI love teaching Hot Power Vinyasa because the continuous flow of the class connects you to your breath and movements at the same time. As a dancer it makes it feel like doing a beautiful choreographed dance and my heart creates that connection with my mind and body. \nAs long as you’re doing the work you will create strength and find healing. Every style is different and every teacher brings something different to the table and I am honored to be apart of the team at The Hot Room. \nThis program is brought to you by Spark Placemaking and The Hot Room Downtown in partnership with Citimark\, Gershman Partners\, and Big Car Collaborative.

SUMMARY:Wagon of Wonders at The Feast of Lanterns
DESCRIPTION:Join us for one of Indianapolis’s most beautiful evenings in one of our most beautiful neighborhoods\, Windsor Park. Big Car will be there with our mobile museum and activities\,The Wagon of Wonders. \nAbout the Feast of Lanterns \nThe Feast of Lanterns is a historic festival based on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis. Its earliest incarnations in the late 1800s were of small gatherings and decorated front porches in nearby neighborhoods like Woodruff Place. By 1909 these neighborhood events had morphed in to a single\, larger festival that took place in Spades Park. Neighbors came out to hang paper lanterns—lit first by candles and later by electric lights. The park\, historic bandstand\, and numerous bridges were illuminated by the colorful lantern lights. Nearby homes would  participate by decorating their porches. As time passed—through World War I\, the Roaring 20s\, and Prohibition—the event continued to be celebrated. But by the 1940s the event was held only sporadically and eventually not at all. \nIn the early 2000s local neighbors from Windsor Park and Springdale were looking to begin an outdoor music festival and re-discovered the historic Feast of Lanterns festival. The theme of colorful lanterns lit throughout the park was incorporated with local music\,  craft vendors\, and neighborhood booths. Eventually the event was hosted by Near Eastside Community Organization (NESCO) for more than a decade. In 2015\, NESCO announced they would not be hosting Feast as part of their efforts to reorganize and refocus as an organization. This year’s Feast of Lanterns\, hosted by Lanterns Foundation\, brings a refocus on the origins of the event\, local neighbors and neighborhoods working together to not only put on a festival but also to build community.

SUMMARY:Walking Wednesday-Indianapolis Oddities with Kipp Normand
DESCRIPTION:Believe it or not\, Indy is full of oddities. Explore what’s weird with artist Kipp Normand on this themed walk. \nFree and open to the public // All ages \nBrought to you by Spark Placemaking and Indianapolis City Market with support from Southwest Airlines and Project for Public Spaces through the Heart of the Community program. \nAbout Normand\nNormand has no formal training in art. His grandfather taught him to paint\, and his father taught him to build things. Normand is a scavenger and an obsessive collector\, searching streets and alleys\, junk stores and abandoned buildings looking for clues to explain the mystery of our world. He finds stories in discarded things: stories about himself and stories about all of us; our cities and our shared history. He first began making assemblage\, shadow boxes and collage images as a way to justify his relentless collecting. They soon became much more. They are Normand’s way to dig deep into the vast museum of this world and share his finds with anyone who cares to look. He works out of his studio at The Harrison Center for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Artists Talk-Osamu James Nakagawa and Conner Green
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the closing reception of Fences/Imperia and a discussion with Nakagawa and Green. \nAbout the artists: \nOsamu James Nakagawa was born in New York City in 1962 and raised in Tokyo. He returned to the United States\, moving to Houston\, Texas\, at the age of 15. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of St. Thomas\, Houston in 1986 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Houston in 1993. Currently\, Mr. Nakagawa is the Ruth N. Halls Distinguished Professor of Photography at Indiana University\, where he directs the Center for Integrative Photographic Studies. He lives and works in Bloomington\, Indiana. \nNakagawa is a recipient of the 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship\, the 2010 Higashikawa New Photographer of the Year\, and 2015 Sagamihara Photographer of the Year in Japan. Nakagawa’s work has been exhibited internationally\, solo exhibitions include: Eclipse\, PGI\, Tokyo (2018); Kai\, sepia EYE\, New York (2018); OKINAWA TRILOGY: Osamu James Nakagawa\, Kyoto University of Art and Design (2013);GAMA Caves\, PGI\, Tokyo; Banta: Stained Memory\, Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa\, Japan (2009); Kai: Osamu James Nakagawa\, SEPIA International Inc.\, New York (2003). \nHis work is included in numerous public collections\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; George Eastman Museum; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; Sakima Art Museum\, Okinawa; The Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago\, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art\, Indianapolis Museum of Art\, Grand Rapid Museum of Art and others. Nakagawa’s monograph GAMA Cavesis available from Akaaka Art Publisher in Tokyo\, Japan. \nConner Green (born 1984) is an artist from Indianapolis\, IN. He studied art and literature at Indiana University and received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. Much of his work combines disciplines\, incorporating found sculptural and print-based elements. His work explores concepts of institutional critique\, myth\, desire\, and master narratives. He finds all of these concepts rife for excavation in the consumer-based material world and the built environment. His process allows for a certain degree of chance or disorder to come into play\, which he believes enables the phenomenal world to speak for itself. \nMade possible by the Arts Council of Indianapolis.

SUMMARY:Mass Ave Histories + Oddities Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we journey through the little-known histories and oddities of Mass Ave. Discover what makes Massachusetts Avenue one of the most well-liked streets in Indianapolis. This is the first walking tour of the season at that starts and ends at Lockerbie Marketplace! Led by creative writer Colin Dullaghan. \nFree and open to the public // All ages\nMEET at Lockerbie Marketplace (the green space next to Needler’s Fresh Market). We don’t walk if the weather is terrible. \nAbout Colin Dullaghan\nAn Indianapolis native\, Colin attended Ball State University\, earning a degree in Philosophy and then graduating without much idea what to do with it. His first job\, partially landed because a principal at Young & Laramore advertising liked his t-shirt\, was at 310 East Vermont. After intervening gigs in both Carolinas and contributing to NUVO and the Indianapolis Star\, Colin now works as Senior Writer at Borshoff\, just above Needler’s Fresh Market. From his desk he can just make out the top of the head of a 38-foot-tall mural of Kurt Vonnegut\, constantly reminding him to “Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.” \nBrought to you in partnership with Citimark Management and Gershman Partners\, Spark Placemaking and Big Car Collaborative. \nTo learn more about events at Lockerbie Marketplace\, visit https://www.bigcar.org/lockerbie/
