SUMMARY:Ramps\, Steps and Rails
DESCRIPTION:Ramps\, steps\, and rails are important things for homeowners and skateboarders alike to know how to make. At Bottom Level Tool Shop you can learn how to make these over a series of classes and be part of a small crew who’ll help neighbors in need. \nDuring the class you’ll build small skate and home items for Tube and elsewhere. By taking the class\, offered free in exchange for your help\, we’ll supply wood and hardware needed so you can also take what you make home for your own mini skate park or maybe to help around your house or the house of a neighbor of your choosing. \nThis class requires the prerequeisite Shop Safety class offered in the morning before this class. Shop safety usually has a cost but this is waived\, also\, with your commitment to help with this summer community home repair project we’re piloting at Big Car Collaborative with support from INHP.

SUMMARY:Belladonna of Sadness
DESCRIPTION:One of the great lost masterpieces of Japanese animation\, never before officially released in the U.S.\, BELLADONNA OF SADNESS is a mad\, swirling\, psychedelic light-show of medieval tarot-card imagery with horned demons\, haunted forests and La Belle Dame Sans Merci with J.R.R. Tolkien influences. \nWe will be discussing this film\, the role witchcraft and superstition have played in gender roles throughout history\, all in relation to our exhibit Larissa Hammond: the/ a mind the b mind. \nThe last film in the Animerama trilogy produced by the godfather of Japanese anime & manga\, Osamu Tezuka and directed by his longtime collaborator Eiichi Yamamoto (ASTRO BOY and KIMBA THE WHITE LION)\, BELLADONNA unfolds as a series of spectacular still watercolor paintings that bleed and twist together. A young woman\, Jeanne (voiced by Aiko Nagayama) is assaulted by the local lord on her wedding night. To take revenge\, she makes a pact with the Devil himself (voiced by Tatsuya Nakadai\, from Akira Kurosawa’s RAN) who appears as a sprite and transforms her into a black-robed vision of madness and desire. \nExtremely transgressive\, BELLADONNA is fueled by a mind-blowing Japanese psych rock soundtrack by noted avant-garde jazz composer Masahiko Satoh. The film has been newly restored by Cinelicious Pics using the original 35 mm camera negative and sound elements and including over 8 minutes of surreal footage cut from the negative. On par with Rene Laloux’s FANTASTIC PLANET and Ralph Bakshi’s WIZARDS as an LSD-stoked 1970s head trip\, BELLADONNA marks a major rediscovery for animation fans. If Led Zeppelin had a favorite film\, this would be it. In other words\, Stairway to Hell.

SUMMARY:Danielle Graves:Days In
DESCRIPTION:We all grow up dreaming of what we want to be when we grow up\, I never wanted to be anything womanly. I was insecure\, insulted and in the footsteps of my brother—I wanted to be just like him. I wanted to be a dirty\, tree-whizzing-on boy\, but life has since changed. \nOver two years ago\, I drew my first saggy breasted and bumpy legged burger—this burger babe helped me love my body and be secure with the woman that I am and the woman that I am becoming. She\, amongst many other women I created\, was crafted by the words that make up today’s pop culture. 50 Cent once told us that “she’s beautiful\, she’s edible\,” Adam Levine\, amongst many other artists\, call us “sugar\,” “honey” and various other sweeteners or sweets\, Instagram gives us a lengthy thread of “#foodporn” posts\, while many other hot shots and online sites follow suit in dehumanizing and objectifying women. \nMy work personifies and reclaims these objectifications and has become a form of self-empowerment. It has shown me how to overcome and embrace the world and turn on the radiance that I never knew I had. It’s shown me the beauty in being a woman—the beauty in my mother—the beauty in the radical—the beauty in the breaking of preconceived femininity and the beauty of owning femininity. I want to celebrate my womanhood; thus\, I present to you a show of my girls just being girls\, Days In.

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:Working Together to Undo Racism-Part of Spirit & Place
DESCRIPTION:Child Advocates Undoing Racism is a documentary exploring the disproportionality of African American children in the child welfare system and how one non-profit agency in Indianapolis is fighting to reverse that legacy for children of color. This is the story of people who experience life changing reversals of attitude and cultural racial bias.\nChild Advocates has launched this 60 minute documentary on “Undoing Racism” and what it might take to do so.\nThe film follows individuals in the Indianapolis community through undoing racism workshops held at Child Advocates. Over 50 workshops have been held at Child Advocates’ office with over 2\,000 of individuals trained.\nAs tensions in the US continue to rise with issues around race\, it is imperative to allow individuals to talk about race in a constructive environment. Child Advocates hopes this film will inspire individuals to participate in a workshop and help inspire change in their own communities. \nDiscussion will follow. \nAbout Child Advocates\nChild Advocates: Child Advocates is the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) chosen by the courts in Marion County to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children. We fulfill our mission through advocacy\, monitoring\, evaluation\, fact-finding and mediation. Volunteers assist staff professionals in each child’s case to make sure those children do not get lost in the system\, that their needs are met during their court cases\, and that a safe\, permanent home is found for them as soon as possible. \nAbout Spirit & Place\nSpirit & Place opens minds\, touches hearts\, builds bridges and helps citizens move forward in new ways individually and collectively. It’s all in our name: Spirit & Place. Through growth of the human spirit\, Central Indiana becomes a better place.\nWinner of the NUVO Cultural Vision Award and the Indiana Achievement Award\, the Spirit & Place Festival reaches 20\,000 people annually through dozens of “never-seen-before” programs. Artists and authors\, entrepreneurs and neighborhood organizers\, storytellers and scholars come together with singles and couples\, families and friends in a true community conversation. Think: TED lecture\, but interactive and on steroids. \nTheir mission is to be a catalyst for civic engagement through creative collaborations among the arts\, humanities\, and religion. Through the arts\, the festival uses the language of metaphor to explore sometimes difficult ideas. Through the humanities\, the festival illuminates the distinct and common narratives of the human condition. Through religion\, the festival embraces the values of compassion\, fairness\, hospitality\, and service that fuel our life in community. \nSpirit & Place is a community project managed by The Polis Center\, part of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. The Polis Center works collaboratively to provide community-based research\, analysis\, information\, and access to advanced information technologies. Spirit & Place is an example of Polis’s commitment to creating collaborative\, practical\, and effective solutions for the communities in which we live.
