SUMMARY:Latino Americans-The New Latinos (1946-1965)
DESCRIPTION:Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. A young Juanita Sanabria arrives in New York\, works hard in the garment district\, but encounters hostility and discrimination. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness. \nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami. A child of 11 at the time\, Gustavo Perez Firmat believes like most refugees\, that it is only a matter of weeks before the American government will wrest Cuba from the Communist regime. But Castro survives. Maria de los Angeles Torres is only six years old when she leaves Havana without her parents\, one of 14\,000 children are smuggled out through an underground network. Unable to leave legally\, Manuel Capo and his two military age sons – make a dramatic journey to the US. With skills honed in the family furniture business in Cuba and support from the federal government\, the Capos build thriving business marketing to the growing Cuban population. \nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights. Julia Alvarez would take the immigrant experience – her own and that of her fellow Dominicans – to unprecedented literary heights in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. In her work\, she explores the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos\, who are now demanding their place in America. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-War and Peace (1942-1954)
DESCRIPTION:World War II is a watershed event for Latino Americans with hundreds of thousands of men and women serving in the armed forces\, most fighting side by side with Anglos. In the Pacific\, East L.A.’s Guy Gabaldon becomes a Marine Corp legend when he singlehandedly captures more enemy soldiers than anyone in US military history. But on the home front\, discrimination is not dead: in 1943\, Anglo servicemen battle hip young “Zoot suitors” in racially charged riots in southern California. \nAfter the war\, Macario Garcia becomes the first Mexican National to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for his exploits fighting in Europe\, only to be refused service in a Texas diner. The experience during the war pushes Latinos to fight for civil rights back home. A doctor from South Texas\, Hector Garcia\, organizes the American GI Forum\, transforming himself into a tireless advocate for civil rights and the friend of a future president. Although Latinos make significant gains\, the journey for equality is far from over. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-Empire of Dreams (1880-1942)
DESCRIPTION:Widespread immigration to the U.S. from Latin countries begins – first with a small group from Cuba\, then a larger one from Mexico. Both flee chaos and violence in their home country and are attracted by opportunities in the United States. In 1898\, the U.S. helps liberate Cuba and Puerto Rico from Spain but then seizes Puerto Rico as its colony. The first Puerto Rican arrivals (now U.S. citizens) establish a network in New York. \nJuan Salvador Villaseñor whose story is told by his son\, Victor\, flees the violence of the Mexican revolution of 1910\, along with his mother and two sisters. We follow Juan Salvador’s story; first through a grueling journey and poverty\, then as a bootlegger\, and finally as a successful businessman along with his wife and children in the United States. \nDuring the 1920s\, immigration is encouraged with the expanding U.S. economy. Mexicans and Mexican Americans build a thriving community in Los Angeles and look forward to a bright future. But when the economic boom of that 1920s ends with the catastrophic Depression of the thirties\, the pendulum swings. Immigrants encouraged to immigrate in the 20s are deported en masse in the 30s. Emilia Castaneda loses her home and her family when she and her father and brother are deported to Mexico\, despite the fact that Emilia and her brother are U.S. citizens. Puerto Ricans\, also caught in the depths of the Depression\, rebel against U.S. rule on the Island\, and eventually gain Commonwealth status from the U.S. Government. \n\nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-Foreigners in their Own Land (1565-1880)
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years after Columbus’ arrival in the Caribbean\, Spanish Conquistadors and Priests\, push into North America in search of gold and to spread Catholicism. With the arrival of the British in North America\, the two colonial systems produce contrasting societies that come in conflict as Manifest Destiny pushes the U.S into the Mexican territories of the South West. \nApolinaria Lorenzana provides a window to the Spanish Mission System while Mariano Vallejo personifies the era of the Californio rancheros an elite class who thrive after Mexico gains its independence from Spain. Juan Seguín\, a third generation Tejano or Texan\, is caught between two worlds; his commitment to an Independent Texas and his identity as a Mexican. Through the Mexican American War\, the U.S. takes a full half of Mexico’s territory by 1848. Over seventy thousand Mexicans are caught in a strange land and many become American citizens. \nAs the Gold Rush floods California with settlers\, complex and vital communities are overwhelmed. The elites\, including Mariano Vallejo and Apolinaria Lorenzana lose their land. Mexicans and Mexican Americans are treated as second-class citizens\, facing discrimination and racial violence. Resistance to this injustice appears in New Mexico as Las Gorras Blancas (The White Caps)\, burn Anglo ranches and cut through barbed wire to prevent Anglo encroachment. At the same time\, New Mexicans manage to transform themselves through education\, managing to preserve Hispano culture in New Mexico and their standing in the midst of an era of conquest and dispossession. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:The People's 500
DESCRIPTION:The People’s 500 is a celebration of the relationship between the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the people of Indianapolis\, marking the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil. The exhibit will run through July 16.\nIn October of 2015\, Sugarmann chose 100 residents of the Indianapolis community from a pool of applicants to drive two laps in a pace car — the drivers uniting to complete the equivalent of a single running of the Indianapolis 500. Sugarmann and his crew photographed and interviewed each of the drivers\, the resulting documentation serving as the material of the exhibition. Some of the drivers are featured among the 16 large scale photos in the exhibit. There is also video\, and a sculptural piece.\n“The Indianapolis Motor Speedway serves as a cultural beacon within Indianapolis\, a location of shared history and civic identity for all strata of Indianapolis society. Members of the Indianapolis community feel ownership of the Speedway\,” says Sugarmann. “In this exhibit\, the pace car is the vehicle through which this mutual connection is furthered\, the civilian/citizen being able to immerse him or herself in the environment of a professional IndyCar driver. The People’s 500 uses pace cars to bridge the viewer and professional driver and create an even stronger sense of civic ownership.”\nThis exhibit is the first at Tube Factory\, Big Car Collaborative’s new cultural center with a contemporary art exhibition area. Located in what was a boarded-up factory building on a residential street in the Garfield Park neighborhood\, Tube Factory will host a variety of conversations\, performances\, and events — while also serving as the workshop and home base for Big Car artists.\nThe People’s 500 is curated by Shauta Marsh\, funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Creative Capital\, and coordinated by Big Car Collaborative staff in partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Framing provided by Editions Limited. \nAbout Jesse Sugarmann: Sugarmann is an interdisciplinary artist working in video\, photography\, and sculpture.

SUMMARY:Flannelly's of the Future Festival
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate their marriage and the role music played in bringing them together\, artists Brelyn Gerard and John Flannelly organized an experimental music festival. Flannellys of the Future Festival will take place April 30\, 4-10 p.m. at Tube Factory artpace\, 1125 Cruft St. Several musical acts were part the formation of their relationship so the pair wanted to share the music with Indianapolis by means of a free concert. The bands that will be featured are: Bad Psychic (Bloomington)\, DJ Littletown\, Duncan Kissinger\, Exploding Head Scene (Philadelphia\, PA)\, Glitter Brains (Bloomington)\, Oreo Jones & Sirius Blvck\, Jeron Braxton & the Tamagotchis (Bloomington)\, Rev//Rev (Lafayette)\, Rob Funkhouser\, Sedcairn Archives\, Skything (Marlboro\, Vermont)\, Teen Brigade (Lafayette). \n“Both of us are the kind of people who strive to view life from as many angles as possible\, to feel from all those angles even if it means crawling around the floor of the house to feel the space usually reserved for our knees and ankles\, or chilling in the bathroom for a shift in perspective\,” says Gerard. \nMany of the musicians in the festival were part of Gerard and Flannelly falling in love. Flannelly’s music was the first time experimental music clicked for Gerard. “Sitting in our friend’s living room\, watching John deliver the experience of his art\, I had an ethereal space to sort through my feelings. It was a space that somehow managed to be safe and challenging at the same time\,” says Gerard. “After his set at Free House\, he threw the flower he’d been wearing on his vest to the audience. I seized it. To this day\, that flower still graces my bookshelf.” \nSoon after that\, on Valentine’s Day 2015\, Gerard and Flannelly enjoyed their first date — at the Fountain Square music venue Grove Haus. Gerard sang back up for the band Memory Foam. She found out that Flannely had toured with one of her favorite bands\, Shame Thugs\, and that he was in the music video for her favorite Sirius Blvck songs. Eventually\, Flannelly moved from Bloomington to Indianapolis into Gerard’s friend’s house. After a recommendation from their mutual friend\, artist Erin K. Drew\, Flannely got a job at the same place where Gerard worked. \n“Now\, we’re getting married and we’re doing it our way. With all the art projects in the community we’re involved with\, neither of us are interested in fussing over centerpieces and flowers. We want to celebrate our love by sharing the music we love\, made by the people we love\,” says Gerard. “We can’t wait to groove with Indianapolis at the Flannellys of the Future Festival!” \nGerard has a new book\, iForgot\, out and Flanney a new album\, Peace and Quiet now available. For their honeymoon after the festival celebration\, the two will travel the country to promote their works.

SUMMARY:Prince Rama
DESCRIPTION:Prince Rama is the musical duo of sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson. They have lived in ashrams\, worked for utopian architects\, written manifestos\, delivered lectures from pools of fake blood\, conducted group exorcisms disguised as VHS workouts\, installed art installations at The Whitney\, Art Basel and various galleries across the U.S. And now they return to Big Car April 9\, 8 p.m. at the Tube Factory artspace\, 1125 Cruft St. in the Garfield Park neighborhood on the south end of downtown. \nThey will perform Xtreme Now\, an album about extreme sports with Indianapolis-based The Icks opening for them. The cost of the performance is $10 and tickets can be purchased on-line (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/prince-rama-indianapolis-us-tour-the-icks-tickets-21012549100) or at the door. \nXtreme Now is the most extreme album Prince Rama has ever made. Writing for Xtreme Now began while the Larson sisters were living on a black metal utopian commune on Vȫrmsi\, a remote island off the coast of Estonia during the summer of 2012. There\, Taraka had a near death experience inside an ancient Viking ruin\, which sparked a recurring sense of time-schizophrenia\, or the physical sensation of existing in multiple time periods simultaneously. \nIn this case\, she experienced a joint-existence in both the medieval ages and the year 2067. In one of her prophetic visions she describes\, “In the year 2067\, I witnessed an aesthetic landscape where art museums are sponsored by energy drink beverages and beauty is determined by speed. I saw a vision of ancient tapestries stretched across half-pipes and people base-jumping off planes with the Mona Lisa smiling up from their parachutes. I saw art merge with extreme sports to form a new aesthetic language of ‘Speed Art.’ I realized that time travel was possible via the gateway of extreme sports\, and I wanted to make music that would provide the score.” \nPerceiving a great void in the world of extreme sports for music that could match the metaphysical intensity of these death-defying feats\, Prince Rama set forth to make Xtreme Now\, the first real foray by any musician to create a new “extreme sports genre.” For inspiration\, the sisters looked to their own flirtations with death and time-dilation\, along with countless hours of obsessively watching extreme sports videos and consuming dangerous quantities of Monster Energy drink. \nWorking with acclaimed dance producer Alex Epton of XXXChange (Gang Gang Dance\, Björk\, Spank Rock\, Panda Bear\, The Kills)\, the new songs take on a more powerful\, confident\, fierce\, infectious\, all-encompassing\, and accessible dance-club feeling than any other Prince Rama record – a fearless\, visionary pop tour de force for the ghost-modern era that celebrates the ephemerality of life\, dancing just at the edge of death’s gilded smile. \nAbout The Icks \nThe Icks utilize electricity to power their instruments. What if John Hughes directed Blade Runner? \nJohn Caldwell-guitar and vocals \nCameron Holloway-farfisa \nJoe Ferguson-bass \nAmanda Case-vocals \n$10 \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/prince-rama-indianapolis-us-tour-the-icks-tickets-21012549100 \nThis concert is made possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. About The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was established in 1987.

SUMMARY:White River Snow Stomp
DESCRIPTION:ALL DETAILS ARE TENTATIVE DEPENDING ON SNOWFALL \nFor up to date official information\, visit the Snow Stompers’ facebook page! \nIt’s looking like there may be snow on the ground tomorrow! Details from White River Artist\, Lisa Elliot: \nIf Snow\, then…\npark and meet at Westside Bait & Tackle Store along White River Parkway between New York St. and Michigan St. We will gather Sunday\, January 10th\, at 2:00 and finish around 4:00. Late joiners are welcome.\nBring your own boots! We will be stamping out designs in the snow. Each of us will start at a lamppost and make our own tracks flow southeast as the river flows. Each person should take their own path to show how the water flows meandering down the bank. Whirlpools and eddies may dot the land. Be creative!\nA word of caution…the riverbank has a steep incline and it should be considered a rigorous hike. So\, be careful!\nWe look forward to seeing other Hoosiers who love to play in the snow and celebrate our city. Let’s hope that this can be the first of many snow stomps.
