America’s Voices Against Apartheid
Ongoing through August
@ Baltimore City Hall

America’s Voices Against Apartheid is an exploration of the remarkable contributions made by U.S. citizens to the international movement that dismantled the apartheid system in South Africa, which persisted from 1948 to the early 1990s.

Co-curated by Kennedy Center Vice President of International Programming, Alicia Adams, the exhibition’s U.S. premiere holds significant meaning for the institution. Adams notes, “This exhibit holds a special place in our hearts at the Kennedy Center, given our longstanding relationship with artists from South Africa, which began with the African Odyssey festival in the late ’90s and continues through our World Stages programming and international festivals. Partnering with the South African Embassy and Ambassador Barbara Masekela for the 10th-anniversary concert celebrating the end of apartheid, featuring the late Hugh Masekela, further reinforced our commitment to this enduring connection.”

Themed “Confronting Injustice at Home and Abroad,” America’s Voices Against Apartheid delves into the development of the U.S. anti-apartheid movement, showcasing the pivotal role American citizens and organizations played in the global fight against apartheid. The exhibit illuminates the roots of the enduring relationship between Americans, particularly African Americans, and South Africans, dating back to the 1880s.

Project Director, Dr. Jean Bailey, emphasizes the significance of the exhibition in fostering cultural and academic collaborations between South Africans and Americans, with a special focus on empowering the African American community. Dr. Bailey shares, “The AVAA project provides an exceptional opportunity to build upon historical relationships and cultivate new partnerships between Americans and South Africans. This exhibition is not only a celebration of our shared history but also a testament to our renewed commitment to mutual engagement and cooperation, extending to the broader African continent.”

America’s Voices Against Apartheid will spotlight well-known celebrity activists such as Harry Belafonte, Arthur Ashe, Steven Van Zandt, and Debbie Allen, alongside ordinary American citizens and organizations that courageously challenged both the South African apartheid regime and their own government’s “constructive engagement” with discrimination. Their united voices resonated across America, transcending race, age, wealth, and political affiliations, as they marched on the streets, campuses, institutions, and government centers, unequivocally denouncing apartheid and their government’s anti-democratic policies. They stood firm against oppression.

The exhibition will not only honor the heroic anti-apartheid activism of the 1980s and ’90s but also shine a light on the trailblazing social justice pioneers of the late 1800s and early 1900s, who recognized that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” America’s Voices Against Apartheid will also spotlight the vital contributions of Black churches, Black press, and Black colleges and universities in this movement, while forging connections to contemporary social justice movements in the U.S., South Africa, and the African Diaspora.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the Kennedy Center will host panel discussions, a film screening on October 15, and a captivating Millennium Stage performance by the Ndlovu Youth Choir on November 15.

AVAA Curatorial Team: Jean Bailey, PhD,  Alicia Adams, Khephra Burns, Camille Dantzler, PhD, Tara Hammons, Veronica Jackson, Charles Johnson, PhD, Emilia Potenza, Sonja Woods, M.A.

Friday, June 21 :: 6pm

The book is a creative assemblage of her writings and art commissioned by the Museum along with new and earlier works from her residency at the home of legendary textile artist Aminah Robinson.

American Music: Ellington at 125 Live Album Recording
Friday, June 21 :: 7pm
@ Creative Alliance

Be part of history! Tonight’s concert will be recorded live for an album release. Join us for an enchanting evening as we pay homage to the unparalleled Duke Ellington, an iconic figure whose musical genius transcended boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the fabric of modern music. A true pioneer in the realm of jazz, Ellington’s compositions surpassed mere entertainment—they emerged as a compelling voice against racial inequality. Through his innovative and emotive arrangements, Ellington not only highlighted the struggles and triumphs of African Americans but also mesmerized diverse audiences with his unique ability to weave intricate stories through sound. His influence reverberates through time, traversing the infectious rhythms of the Harlem Renaissance to the soul-stirring melodies of the Civil Rights era and beyond, encompassing Jazz, swing, fusion, pop, and theatre.

In commemoration of his 125th Anniversary, we are honored to be joined by four world-class solo pianists. Baltimore-based Lafayette Gilchrist and Marc Cary, along with Philadelphia-based Orrin Evans and James Hurt, will interpret and expound on Ellington’s legacy. Together, they will guide us through the rich tapestry of Ellington’s musical journey, bringing to life the enduring power of music to inspire change.

Step into the rhythm of history, celebrating the everlasting impact of Duke Ellington’s artistry. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness the convergence of talent and tribute, as we collectively honor a legend whose influence continues to resonate in the melodies that shape our world.

A Special Message from Festival Founder, Nia Hampton
Black Femme Supremacy Festival  Newsletter :: June 13

I founded Black Femme Supremacy Festival in 2018 and after 7 years of prioritizing the festival I’m doing a new scary thing. I’m making a movie! It’s a comedy short based on my actual life, called “My Mother the Clown” starring my actual mother Sheila Gaskins and my younger sister Nekia Hampton.

Synopsis

Perpetually embarrassed and unemployed millennial Nina Hamilton needs money to save her family home. But her mother, Silly Sheila, a clown, her current roommate and a major source of shame in Nina’s psyche, is in the way.

We shot the film this past March and have less than 30 days to raise $12,500 to complete post production. So far we’ve raised 20 percent. Please pledge your support to this campaign so that I can finish my film. You’ll get cool perks like a script,  look book, original portraiture (limited availability) storytelling workshops and even a clown class!

We’re so grateful for our initial supporters. Please consider donating to this campaign and sharing our Seed&Spark page to anyone who supports Black Femme Filmmakers.

Sincerely,

Nia Hampton

Elizabeth Murray Artist Family Residency
deadline July 15
posted by Collar Works

The Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency (EMAR) program by Collar Works is designed to provide emerging, underrepresented, and established artists an immersive, supportive, productive, and communal atmosphere for art-making and dialogue on a bucolic 77-acre farm in Granville, NY. The summer residency offers 2 and 4-week residencies for individual artists and 1-week residencies for families.

In 2017, the Murray- Holman family partnered with Collar Works to design a summer residency program for visual artists, with unique opportunities for individuals and families. Dedicated to supporting the legacy of Elizabeth Murray, Collar Works believes there is a kindred connection between its mission and what Murray’s story symbolizes to emerging artists, to those who are artists as well as parents, and to individuals who overcome adversity to achieve their vision.

EMAR aims to create opportunities for artists to take risks and develop new contemporary works across many art forms, primarily visual and literary arts while engaging in meaningful dialogue with fellow residents and arts professionals.

Our goal is to create a residency program that responds to the critical needs of emerging and underrepresented artists and artists as parents while offering a program that reflects the rich cultural environment of today through an active commitment to diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion. Since its inception, creating an environment that stands out as a safe space for creative risk-taking, personal growth and respite has been the core goal of the Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency.

The late, visionary artist Elizabeth Murray believed that each person deserves an opportunity to make their art and for their art to be visible on equal platforms. With that in mind, our goal is to provide space and access for all, regardless of differences of race, age, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, national origin, migratory status, disability/abilities, political affiliation, veteran status and/or socioeconomic background.

For more than two decades, Elizabeth Murray and her husband Bob Holman, together with their children, split their time between a TriBeCa loft and a classic farmhouse in Washington County, New York. Murray, who passed away in 2007, was a groundbreaking artist. Her many honors include a Skowhegan Medal in Painting in 1986, a MacArthur “genius” grant in 1999, and a career retrospective at MoMA in 2005. Holman, a poet and arts activist, founded the Bowery Poetry Club in 2002 and produced the PBS series The United States of Poetry (1996) and Language Matters (2019). In 2017, the Murray-Holman family partnered with Collar Works to design a summer residency program for artists.

For many years, the farm served as both a summer home for the Murray-Holmans and a creative retreat for Elizabeth Murray, whose studio was located in the large, cathedral-like dairy barn. Given the history, location, and amenities, the family felt that the creative use of the property and its natural surroundings would carry on Elizabeth Murray’s legacy.

For more information about the residency, please visit www.collarworks.org/murrayresidency

 

 

Loghaven Artist Residency
deadline July 15

Loghaven Artist Residency’s mission is to serve artists by providing them with a transformative residency experience and continued post-residency support. The residency is located on ninety acres of woodland in Knoxville, Tennessee. Artists live in five historic log cabins that have been both rehabilitated and modernized to create an ideal setting for reflection and work, and they have access to new, purpose-built studio space. All Loghaven Fellows are awarded stipends to support the creation of new work during the residency.

Eligibility
Practicing artists of all backgrounds and at any stage of their career are eligible to apply for a Loghaven residency. Artists currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program are not eligible. Due to the living stipend and other support Loghaven provides, artists applying for a residency must already have the ability to work in the United States and receive income per US tax law. International artists are not eligible unless they have a previously established way to work and receive income. Artists must be at least twenty-one years old and live more than 120 miles away from Knoxville. This distance requirement is designed to ensure that artists are able to be fully immersed in their residency experience and can take advantage of the retreat-style environment. Please note that all eligibility requirements must be met at the time of application.

We invite applicants in the creation stage of their specified project or work cycle to apply in the following disciplines:

Writing (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, screenwriting, and journalism)
Visual Arts
Dance
Theater
Music Composition
Architecture
Interdisciplinary Work

deadline July 15

The vast spaciousness of our Wyoming location has a powerful and life-changing impact on artists, writers, composers, choreographers, and collaborative groups.

For more than 40 years, Ucross has been giving space and time to artists who come from all disciplines, including literature, visual arts, music, choreography, film, performance, and multidisciplinary art.
