SUMMARY:Nasreen Khan: Cic·a·trix
DESCRIPTION:The narrative of femininity is pain.\nCicatrix: the scar of a healed wound. In botany\, cicatrix refers to the keloid mark left on a tree after a piece of it has been removed. In this body of work\, I am exploring the personal maternal scar of being taken away from the only real parental figure I had until that point in life\, the complex scars of colonialism and immigration\, and the physical scars of my own body.\n\nI spent the first part of my life in Senegal\, West Africa. I was raised by my nanny\, a Senegalese woman named Saly. In Senegal there is a practice called diamou\, or gum tattooing and burning. A hot needle is repeatedly poked into a woman’s gums. Then a mixture of burnt oil and shea butter is rubbed into the wounds to darken the space around the teeth. This is supposed to make the woman more beautiful\, but also to train her to tolerate pain. When I was 9\, Sali began tattooing my gums to blacken them. She was never able to finish. I spent the second half of my life in Indonesia. Saly died the year after we left Africa.\n\nThe architect and urban planner\, Le Corbusier\, wrote about humanity as born in a state of insufficiency\, therefore needing “auxiliary organs.” For Le Corbusier\, our built environments\, including building architecture\, become prosthetic extensions of our insufficient human bodies. His thoughts form the basis for contemporary prosthetic theory\, often cited in the world of AI and tech innovation. For example\, a computer mouse pad becomes an extension of our internal understanding of reality\, as it is the “limb” we use to create changes in our virtual realities.\n\nImmigration is both an amputation and a taking on of prosthesis through cultural assimilation in a new built environment. The relationships we leave behind are an extension of ourselves. Their separation leaves a wound\, then a scab\, then a callous on which the new ones rest like a prosthetic limb.\n\nI draw on concepts of scarification and prosthesis in this body of work. The collections of dots and lines that form many of the backgrounds are translated from traditional African scarification patterns. I choose to work burning on wood\, mirroring the tattoos on my gums. The tree limbs and bark are functionally akin to scarred skin and flesh.\n\nThe cultural narrative of femininity I was taught as a child was –to be woman was to endure pain–and to be a good woman\, was to endure pain quietly. Once I immigrated to America\, the messaging about what it meant to be a woman changed only slightly. I am in pain. The pain I experience is often dismissed\, by the immigration and medical systems\, by male partners\, by respectability culture.These works are manifestations of the silent scaring and re-wounding that many women experience. They challenge and subvert these narratives through their size and emotionality. The use of a once living medium is a metaphor for womanhood and immigration.\nRun your fingers on the raised welts in the wood. Touch pain.\n\nAbout the Artist\nNasreen Khan (she/her) is a writer\, visual artist\, teacher\, and mother. She grew up in West Africa and Indonesia and has recently made a home in Indianapolis. Her teaching and artistic practices\, rooted in questions of equity and earth-based spirituality\, grapple with questions of belonging; celebrate cultural margins; and confront colonization\, racism\, and misogyny.\nIG: @heyitsnasreen\nWebsite: https://nasreen-khan.com/\n\nJune 2-July 23\nJeremy D. Efroymson Gallery\nWednesday -Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\nSaturday & Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.\nTube is also open until 10 p.m. each First Friday.\nClosed Holidays\nMade possible by The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, The City of Indianapolis\, Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation and more.

SUMMARY:Haykidd &Thee Black Card-Hey Black Kidd
DESCRIPTION:“Hey Black Kidd” is a collaborative body of work created by painter\, Haykidd (Greg Rose) and mixed media artist\, Thee Black Card (Sarah Jene). The exhibit is a celebration of self\, full realization and acknowledgement of who you are\, where you are and what you have– from their perspectives.\n\nPairing Thee Black Card’s rich cultural mixed media work and Haykidd’s imaginative approach to storytelling\, these artists tell a story of resilience\, joy and virtue in 14 pieces.\n\nThe exhibit is inspired by this poem written by Useni Perkins:\n“Hey Black Child\nDo you know who you are\nWho you really are\nDo you know you can be\nWhat you want to be\nIf you try to be\nWhat you can be\nHey black child\nDo you know where you are going\nWhere you’re really going\nDo you know you can learn\nWhat you want to learn\nWhat you can learn\nHey Black child\nDo you know you are strong\nI mean really strong\nDo you know you can do\nWhat you want to do\nIf you try to do\nWhat you can do\nHey Black child\nBe what you can do\nLearn what you must learn\nDo what you can do\nAnd tomorrow your nation\nWill be what you want it to be”\n\nThis exhibit opens in our Listen Hear Gallery located at 2625 Shelby St.

SUMMARY:Chicken Chapel of Love Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Conceived by Big Car co-founder\, Shauta Marsh in 2016– it’s taken 7 years to build and open this Las-Vegas style wedding chapel\, meditation space and shrine designed by artist Jason Gray in 2019. Gray also hand-carved the wooden doors and built the altar cabinet. Commissions is the form of a mural\, music and other objects will continue to be added. \nWhen you open The Chicken Chapel of Love’s hand-carved wooden doors inscribed with the latin phrase Vide cor meum (See My Heart)\, you’re greeted with stained glass windows filtering the south and west sunlight\, gilded gold candelabras\, an altar cabinet honoring the elements & divine feminine with wood burnings by Nasreen Khan\, taxidermied roosters\, warm wood church pews\, wax candles. \nLocated in our new Terri Sisson Park-a shrine for motherhood (which will formally open this fall)— the space represents the heart of humanity\, the heart of the chicken. Our destinies and fates are overlapping and intertwining like those with whom we choose to share our lives. \nFrom Danté’s La Vita Nuova\nWhile thinking of her (Beatrice)\nA sweet sleep came over me\nI am your master\nHere is your heart\nAnd on this burning heart\nYour heart\n(she) obediently fed\nThen I saw him (Amore) leaving in tears\nJoy became bitterest lament\nI am in peace\nMy heart\nI am in peace\nSee my heart \nThe Chicken Chapel of Love was made possible by IHCDA\, Patronicity and supporters like you!

SUMMARY:Marianne Glick: What Lies Beneath
DESCRIPTION:“All the paintings in this exhibit have multiple layers. The initial impression of the painting from a distance will change as you get closer-you will see more depth and dimension -things you maybe didn’t notice at first. I think this is a reflection of life. Often we make judgements based on first impressions\, but once we get closer to someone\, we realize that there is much more…beneath the surface.”– Marianne Glick\n\n\nAbout the artist\nLooking for a way to positively approach the winter months after a career in corporate training\, Marianne began painting in September of 2005. Her love of gardening inspired many of her early paintings. Most of her recent work is abstract. She often uses more than one medium in her work\, combining watercolor\, acrylic and some collage to create pieces that reflect her exuberant nature. “I have worked in a variety of media and am now focusing on acrylics. I enjoy the use of rich colors and textures in my work. Exploring the interplay between transparent & opaque\, warm & cool\, brush work and pouring fascinates me. Most recently\, I have been delving deeper by creating multiple layers and sanding back to reveal parts of early layers in the final painting.”\n\nMarianne’s paintings have been accepted in juried competitions sponsored by the Hoosier Salon\, California Art Day\, Indianapolis Art Center\, International Society of Acrylic Painters\, International Society of Experimental Artists\, Midwest Abstract National Exhibit\, Watercolor Society of Indiana\, and Women’s’ Works . Marianne likes to donate paintings to benefit some of her favorite non-profit organizations. To date she has donated paintings or profits from paintings to Women’s Fund\, Dress for Success\, Community Health Network Foundation\, Joy’s House\, Girls\, Inc.\, Planned Parenthood\, Indianapolis Symphony\, Indianapolis Library and United Way.\nMarianne now serves on the board of directors for the Glick Family Foundation\, the Gene Glick Company\, the Glick Housing Foundation\, ASCEND\, Central Indiana Community Foundation\, Ivy Tech Community College\, RISE Indy\, TeenWorks and United Way of Central Indiana.\nHer personal mission is to ignite\, inspire and direct energy for positive action. Her paintings allow her to colorfully express her mission and hopefully bring joy to those who view them.

SUMMARY:Mina Keohane- Lunch Break Live Tuesdays presented by Lake City Bank
DESCRIPTION:Join us for SPARK on the Circle with live music from Mina Keohane! Food trucks\, will be onsite starting at 11am. Music performance 12-1pm.\n\n“…full of surprises. She possesses a songbird’s voice\, a wisdom beyond her years and a delightfully smooth way of gliding across the piano keys. Everything from mournful sonic sculptures to crisp\, lightweight ballads carried the day — always in celebration of the moment\, whether it be the memory of something long gone or the freshness of something new.” –Nuvo Newsweekly\nMina Keohane is an Indianapolis based composer/performer. Her music is a piano-driven cross-pollination of singer-songwriter\, indie rock and a hint of jazz using lush chords and impulsive lines to create a distinctive sound. Her songs have been described as “if Joni Mitchell and Aimee Mann had a baby with Charles Mingus.” She spends most of her time writing music for commercials and short films\, as well as playing keyboards and accordion with Public Universal Friend\, Sarah Grain & the Billions of Stars\, Nashville-based recording artist Brandon Whyde\, The Dopacetics\, Teresa Reynolds and the Slicktones\, 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\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 in the southwest quadrant.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Asli Narin
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun\, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper\, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people\, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s.\n\nCome explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process with Indianapolis-based artist Asli Narin. Narin often incorporates cyanotype into her artistic practice. She will give a short talk about cyanotype at the beginning of each hour\, and then you will make your own cyanotypes with Narin’s assistance.\n\nWe will have some objects on hand to experiment with\, but feel free to bring your own objects. Flat items usually work best\, and cyanotype can be messy\, so precious things like family heirlooms should probably stay at home. All other necessary materials will be provided free at the workshop.\n\nThis activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nAsli Narin (1985\, Istanbul) is a visual artist and an educator based in Indianapolis\, US. Narin’s artistic practice is based on photography as well as video\, installation\, and performance\, inspired by nature and the cities. Taking inspiration from walking and wandering\, she explores the human experience through forms and abstractions. Her subjects are often the thresholds and dualities of life.\n\nImage: Anna Atkins is famous for these cyanotypes she made of British algae in the 1840s. A book she made out of her cyanotypes is considered to be the first photobook ever made.\n\nIn partnership with Aurora PhotoCenter for SPARK on the Circle
