Inspired By Claudette & Rosa (Opening Night)
2023-02-10 12:30 - 15:00
By Laura Mann-Hill
ACW Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator
I hope you can join me in lifting up the voices of youth in the upcoming performance of the play I wrote. We have a cast of amazing youth performers. The play is based on real-life experiences I had working with Twin Cities youth over the past two years.
Inspired by Claudette and Rosa
Sonia and some of her classmates struggle navigating issues of race in their everyday life. After learning about Civil Rights Activists Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin, Sonia is inspired to take a stand in her own life and move them to action. In 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks became known as a civil rights icon, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on a racially segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Claudette’s story of resistance and her relationship with Rosa reveals the role she played in sparking a movement for racial justice.
The show runs February 10-February 26, 2023. More info and tickets available at https://www.youthperformanceco.org

Finding Healing and Inspiration from Black History
2023-02-01 08:00 - 17:00
Finding Healing and Inspiration from Black History by Laura Mann Hill -DEI Coordinator
“This is our national truth: America would not be America without the wealth from Black labor, without Black striving, Black ingenuity, Black resistance.”
― Nikole Hannah-Jones, The 1619 Project: Born on the Water

As we begin Black History month, we continue to fight for change in the world in a way that is sustainable, inclusive, equitable, just and makes space for healing. Making art with the community has been my space for healing. I have learned that while I cannot make systems change in isolation, I can educate myself everyday. The more I learn about how my ancestors resisted and made change in America, it gives me strength and affirmation to move forward. We should all look to learn more, celebrate, and center Black History today and every day.

Here are just a few ways to get started:

ACW Climate Action Group Forming - Zoom Call
2023-01-09 18:00 - 20:00
Climate Change Action Group Forming
For those who feel that individual footprint-minimizing actions aren’t enough to keep the world from burning up and clean water from disappearing, Art to Change the World offers an affinity group directed at figuring out how art can be employed in manageable larger-scale actions. Corporate interests, individual investments, political will, environmental justice – let’s consolidate our knowledge, help each other progress in our climate action awareness, and land on a fund-able project or projects.
To express interest contact Margo@MyNortheaster.com A Zoom meeting is planned for Monday, January 9 at 6 p.m.

Bill Cottman - "I am Here" - Homewood Studios Show (Opening Reception)
2023-01-06 17:00 - 20:00
JANUARY HOMEWOOD GALLERY SHOW
BILL COTTMAN: I Am Here
Curated by Seitu Jones, George Slade, Davu Seru, Miko Simmons & Beverly Cottman
January 6 through 31. Opening Reception: Friday, January 6th from 5 pm to 8 pm

Homewood Studios, 2400 Plymouth Avenue
KFAI-FM Remote Broadcast from the Galley: Saturday, January 7 from 9 am to 11 am
In-person &/or call-in memories and stories about Bill hosted by Kenna Cottman (Bill’s daughter) and Yonci Peaceful Jameson (Bill’s granddaughter)
Gallery Talk with curators: Tuesday, January 17. beginning at 7 pm (How this show came together; what we were trying to do. )
The passing, all too soon, of Bill Cottman, one of our community’s most active, connected, and important artists, a little more than a year ago, has left us all pulsing with memories and believing he is still with us in so many ways. Thus, our gallery show to remember him as a photographer, video artist, writer, poet, and bookmaker.
To do his lifetime of work justice, we would have to hire a huge hall. Instead, we have at Beverly Cottman’s suggestion, invited four artist friends of Bill and Beverly to curate a show touching on several aspects of Bill’s artistic life. The show includes many of his photographs and photo series, (of course), video work, his various published books, and ephemera collected by the curators. Like all of Bill’s shows in our gallery over the past twenty years, it will be unpredictable, surprising, informative, revelatory, and professionally superb.
In addition, anyone with a good Bill Cottman story or memory is invited to attend our gallery in person or call in during the Mostly Jazz program on KFAI-FM, Saturday, January 7th from 9 am to 11 am.
