SUMMARY:Blood On the Pavement
DESCRIPTION:Think\, Discuss\, and Disrupt! \nThe upcoming Art To Change the World art exhibit\, “Blood on the Pavement\,” aims to help Minnesota communities think\, discuss\, and disrupt! The group show is scheduled to have Opening Night activities during First Thursday\, May 5\, 2022 from 5:00 – 9:00 PM at the Northrup King Building third floor gallery (studio 332). Open Mike for poets starts at 5:00 PM with a short talk about Brothers Keeper by Nikki McComb at 6:00 PM. At 7:00\, poets TBA will read selected works. \nThe show will combine the poetry of Ashley Richardson and visual art responses to her poems. The intention is to spark conversations about violence against Black bodies\, both verbally and physically\, from micro aggressions to police brutality; as well as violence against trans bodies\, women’s bodies\, and other intersections of the Black identity. With a deep belief that Black lives\, voices\, and narratives matter\, poet and curator\, Ashley Richardson\, has organized “Blood on the Pavement” as a month-long exhibit (May 5 – May 25). \nClosing Night is May 25. At 6:30 the silent auction for noted painter\, Owen Brown’s\, response to the George Floyd murder\, called On George Floyd will end. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to a nonprofit TBA. \nThe show will feature the following local artists responding to Richardson’s poems. They will be providing remarks on May 25 at 7:00: Drew Hammond\, Azania Tripp\, Briauna Williams\, Lyle Ferguson\, Sebastian Rivera Cintron\, Ariana Carbajal\, Cory Favre with unique appearances of works by Nikki McComb and Owen Brown. It is imperative that Black stories take up space! \nDates to Know\nOpening: Thursday\, May 5th (5:00 – 9:00 PM) \nSaturday\, May 7th (Noon to 4:00 PM)\nSaturday\, May 14th (Noon to 4:00 PM) \nArt-A-Whirl: Friday\, May 20th\, (5:00 – 9:00 PM) \nSaturday\, May 21st (Noon to 8:00 PM)\nSunday\, May 22nd\, (Noon to 4:00 PM) \nClosing: Saturday\, May 28th\, (5:00 – 8:00 PM)

SUMMARY:Home: Nostalgia & Chaos - Chris Cinque (Opening)
DESCRIPTION:Home: Nostalgia & Chaos\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHome: Nostalgia and Chao \n\n\n\nNew collages and paintings by Chris Cinque\nMay 4-31\nOpening Reception – Saturday\, May 7th from 5 pm to 8 pm \nWe have known Chris Cinque for several years.  She has endured\, along with all of us\, the delay of this show due to Covid-19.  We are pleased the hiatus is over and we are able to offer her work to the community.  About her current paintings\, Chris writes: \nI had to leave my southern home when I was nineteen because I came out as a lesbian to my Catholic family. I headed to the far north where I had never been and no one in my family really knew where I was. I wrote about this in my trilogy of one-woman plays called “Growing Up Queer in America. One of the passages said this:  \n              Exiles know what I know\, what you know too\n              For when we leave our country’s borders and sweet fields\n              We are outcasts from our country\n              We are outcasts from our families\n               We are outcasts from ourselves \nI taught English for almost twenty years to immigrants and refugees and I felt a kinship with many of my students hearing their stories of being forced to leave their homelands. It is an unfortunate and all too common part of the human condition: people being uprooted from all that is familiar for whatever reason: war\, natural catastrophe\, racial violence\, domestic abuse\, poverty. \nOne of the definitions of nostalgia is “homesickness”. When my father\, at age nineteen\, went off to Bootcamp during World War II\, it was the first time he’d ever been away from home. He became physically ill but eventually recovered enough to get shipped off to Europe so he could walk across France shooting Nazis.  \nWhen my great-grandparents\, Salvatore and Rosina\, were forced to move to America because of poverty\, Rosina died at forty-two from a brain hemorrhage and\, I suspect\, domestic violence leaving behind a large family of motherless children.  \nMy family’s stories are magnified and repeated worldwide and throughout history in the endless migrations\, people have been forced into. We are so many of us refugees\, but we are resilient. And that is part of the story as well. Wherever we end up\, we create homes and families and the satisfaction that comes from overcoming hardships and creating better lives for our descendants.  \nThis show attempts to document\, reflect upon\, and honor what it means to have a home\, to lose it\, and to make another to take its place. \nWe will offer a hybrid Gallery Talk [in person and remote] beginning at 7 pm on Tuesday\, May 17th.  Nearer the date of this event\, we will post a link on our website page.\n\n\n\ns
