SUMMARY:7-8:30 PM  Danielle Ricci -Borealis Dance Co. -Hmong Story   w/Talk Back  $10.00  Click for Details and Reservations
DESCRIPTION:Project Description   Danielle Ricci              Topic:  Ongoing Hmong Refuge Crisis   https://vimeo.com/275504471\nMy research examines dance with a social conscience through practice based research methodologies\, and how it develops a thematic practice which reflects events and issues that shape our society. This way of thinking brings focus to issues of “human rights and freedom”(Sethi\, 2012)\, with the body\, through research of the body and intuitive response to stimuli and events to develop a choreographic process towards artistic activism work. \nFor years\, people have been displaced from their homes and sought asylum from natural disasters\, famine\, war\, and political oppression. America as well as other countries in Europe\, the Middle East and Australia have provided opportunities for people to find safety\, freedom from oppression\, and promise for a better tomorrow as many refugees cannot return to their home countries. For America\, this has created the melting pot of race and religion that it is known for. With our current president on a mission to roll back immigration policies that have been helping populations plagued by war\, Donald Trump created an uproar by taking away the hope of thousands of people who were relying on the aid of the United States. \nThis made me reflect and examine who makes up our social fabric of the Twin Cities and how these developments in our government could affect our neighborhoods and the economy.  From my own personal connection to the St. Paul community\, I discovered that I wanted to learn more about a story specific to a peoples: The Twin Cities is home to the second largest settlement of Hmong people in the nation. But why? Who are the Hmong people and how did they end up here? Their story is not commonly known by the greater community\, yet the impact they have on the community influences the social fabric of the Twin Cities and beyond. \nThrough research of who the Hmong people are and how they came to live in the Twin Cities\, I have discovered a story of hardship\, pain\, and sorrow\, woven into a strong sense of hope and love. This is not taught in schools\, it is unknown to the community\, and has not been expressed through movement told from an outside eye before. I began to reflect on how many refugees have experienced these same stories within their own unique journey to America. This inspired me to know more and tell the refugee’s story through the lens of the Hmong people as we come together as a multi-cultural community of dancers exploring the human condition through movement. \nThreads of My Cloth is a retelling of the Hmong refugee experience in Asia before seeking asylum in other countries. This piece is deeply rooted in historical research and the body creating an honest\, moving story of the Hmong. This dance concert premiered in March of 2018 and will be reset for See. Say. Do.\nCommunity Response: \nThe following responses where from members of the Hmong community that attended the performance: \n\n“The dance is very sad and it is a true story of Hmong people because I have gone through that in my life. Besides that\, it is great way to show others why we are there.”\n“We enjoyed it very much and was very powerful.”\n“This was an incredible\, memorable and needed story to be told of our Hmong struggle. My honor and gratitude always.”\n“I loved the performance\, and it was heartwarming to see someone who looks like me be in this dance. I cried so much in the beginning part where the dancers held onto the ‘babies’.”\n“I believe seeing that performance was about the closest I have ever come to feeling the emotions our parents had during the war. I am deeply grateful toward you for sharing this experience with me!!”\n“We were greatly touched by this event.”\n“This piece evoked a lot of emotions: sadness\, anger\, frustration and even a little fear.  The performance was powerful in that it validated stories of the Hmong people and their struggle and sacrifice.  I thought that the immersive promenade style was great and hoped that this will continue with the next showing.”\n\nLink to Sun Post cover story: \nhttps://www.hometownsource.com/sun_post/community/brooklynpark/north-hennepin-community-college-to-host-premier-of-threads-of/article_92b5d85e-26ca-11e8-ab91-0334bdb7671c.html \nBiography  Danielle Ricci    Dancer \nDanielle Ricci is an educator\, choreographer\, director\, and dancer.

SUMMARY:Art-A-Whirl  Barbara Bridges Studio - Make art May 20
DESCRIPTION:What is Social Practice Art? \nBarbara has been a teacher for over 40 years and creates social practice art from fabricated components in a variety of media and rescued “power objects.” She manipulates the objects to create meaning and provoke discussions and reflection on a wide variety of social topics. See her 10 foot Recovery themed fountain Reflecting Pool  when you visit her studio.  http://bridgescreate.com/installation/reflection-pool \nVisit her studio on Sunday May 20th and make art with her and other members of Art to Change the World. https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/mission Bring a memory object of your own (optional) or make a Wranklet (can be both an ankle bracelet or a wrist bracelet). All ages. $10.00. Registration is appreciated but not required.: drb@bridgescreate.com \n               Easy Parking! 2323 Monroe St. NE  \n\nArt-A-Whirl Studio Open Friday\, May 18th – 5:00-8:00 p.m.\, Saturday\, May 19th – Noon-8:00 p.m. AND make art on Sunday\, May 20th – Noon-5:00 pm. \nSunday hot dish after party for all starting at 5:00. I will be serving my famous Elote Mexican corn in the firepit. RSVP \, please. drb@bridgescreate.com \nRead More about Barbara’s Studio Experience \nReflecting Pool   is an installation on my property in the Minneapolis Northeast Arts District.   It was created as a monument to recovery of true consciousness through self-exploration. Flowing mosaic tile and intricate ceramic decoration within the grotto provide an experience both peaceful and complex by the juxtaposition of repetitive patterns and assemblage compilation. The technique is “precious” as the viewer sits in the  pool\, the tile lines draw the eyes from object to object\, encouraging transient contemplation- noticing the various ideas without extended rumination\, as is encouraged by Zen meditation.  A meditation  on the subject of acceptance and flexibility  was written by Morgan Bridges and is installed on the back surface to aid in the experiencer’s self-discovery. The outside shell of the grotto will explore the more organic images and materials used to create spiritual edifices from all spiritual world views. \nThe purpose of this social practice work\, Reflecting Pool\, is to encourage recovery from trauma and/or addiction. \nRead More About Reflecting Pool

SUMMARY:Barbara Bridges -Fantasyland
DESCRIPTION:Fantasyland: How America  Went Haywire  Discusses our nationwide willingness to embrace a factual relativity. Kurt Anderson \nIn this sweeping\, eloquent history of America\, Kurt Andersen shows that what’s happening in our country today—this post-factual\, “fake news” moment we’re all living through—is not something new\, but rather the ultimate expression of our national character. America was founded by wishful dreamers\, magical thinkers\, and true believers\, by hucksters and their suckers. Fantasy is deeply embedded in our DNA. \nOver the course of five centuries—from the Salem witch trials to Scientology to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s\, from P. T. Barnum to Hollywood and the anything-goes\, wild-and-crazy sixties\, from conspiracy theories to our fetish for guns and obsession with extraterrestrials—our love of the fantastic has made America exceptional in a way that we’ve never fully acknowledged. From the start\, our ultra-individualism was attached to epic dreams and epic fantasies—every citizen was free to believe absolutely anything\, or to pretend to be absolutely anybody. With the gleeful erudition and tell-it-like-it-is ferocity of a Christopher Hitchens\, Andersen explores whether the great American experiment in liberty has gone off the rails.

SUMMARY:Ubuntu Inquiry Group Begins  Feb 1-March 23
DESCRIPTION:Ubuntu Book/Film Club? \nWe plan for the reading group to start in February.  We will read a book for two months and discuss the writing and the topic\, but more importantly\, reflect on how these (hopefully) new ideas inform our practice.  These book discussions will not focus on critiquing the work as a piece of literature. If there is anything that is boring\, it is a book club meeting that starts out with someone saying ”I liked it “ or “ I did not like it” and then everyone comes out swinging in defense of their position!   Please send us reading recommendations. Real time book meeting scheduled in early April 2018.  Please go and sign up for the discussion right now!  https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/discussion-form/
