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.

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.

SUMMARY:Map of My Kingdom-Presented by University of Indianapolis
DESCRIPTION:“These stories are moving and engaging and remind us that we all share responsibility for the health of the land while we are here. Easy to mount\, accessible and timely\, Swander’s play is a catalyst to help audience members address issues of land transfer productively. This is art serving its purpose in a meaningful way.”\n– Susan Wolverton – Professor of Theatre\, Coe College \nWho’s going to get the farm? And what are they going to do with it? Will your future plans for your land create harmony or strife for your family? Or have you even started to think that far ahead? Map of My Kingdom\, a play commissioned by Practical Farmers of Iowa and written by Iowa’s Poet Laureate Mary Swander\, tackles the critical issue of land transition. In the drama\, Angela Martin\, a lawyer and mediator in land transition disputes\, shares stories of how farmers and landowners she has worked with over the years approached their land successions. Some families almost came to blows\, struggling to resolve the sale or transfer of their land\, dissolving relationships. Others found peacefully rational solutions that focused not only on the viability of the family\, but also of the land.\n\nLand is the thread that binds all of the stories together. “For most farmers I know\, owning land means everything\,” Angela Martin says. Map of My Kingdom will resonate with those who have been through or are working through challenging land transfer issues that include division of the land among siblings\, to selling out to a neighbor\, to attempts to preserve the land’s integrity against urban sprawl. The drama will inspire the hesitant and the fearful to start the conversation that cannot wait.\nToday\, a vast amount of land in the United States is owned by those over 65 years old. Some have made their wishes clear for the future of their property. Others are courting family upheaval by not planning in concrete ways. An age old problem\, evident in literature from the Bible to King Lear to Willa Cather\, land transition asks hard questions: Who really owns the land? And what is the role of the steward of a property? Can “fair” become “unfair” to one’s children?\nMap of My Kingdom is directed by Matt Foss\, Acting and Theatre history professor at The University of Idaho. Maria Vorhis will be the actor.\nPerformance Time:\nThe play runs under 1 hour. \nTrailer: http://www.maryswander.com/ \nArtist Bios:\nMary Swander | Playwright\nMary Swander is the Poet Laureate of the State of Iowa.
