Humanities Forum — Karla T. Vasquez in Conversation with Krystal C. Mack
Tuesday, September 24 :: 5:30-7pm
@ UMBC Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

Karla Tatiana Vasquez, food writer, recipe developer, and food stylist
In conversation with Krystal C. Mack, food designer and artist
This event is part of the Fall 2024 Humanities Forum.

In 2015, first-generation Salvadoran American, Karla T. Vasquez, began an online project to document recipes like the ones her mother made during her childhood. Over time, the project grew to include not only recipes, but also stories from the women who created them, offering a portrait of life for Salvadoran women both before the civil war and after their arrival in the United States. Vasquez will discuss The SalviSoul Cookbook and her efforts to preserve the food and stories of Salvadoran moms, aunts, grandmothers, and friends.

Karla T. Vasquez is a food writer, recipe developer, and food stylist based in Los Angeles. Her writing has been published by the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Teen Vogue, Eater LA, and KCET (PBS SoCal), among others. Her recipe development work can be seen in Food & Wine, Serious Eats, BuzzFeed Tasty, and Tastemade. She is also a food justice advocate and an active member in her community to increase healthy food accessibility in low-income communities, previously working with Hunger Action Los Angeles and Los Angeles Food Policy Council. She founded SalviSoul in an effort to preserve her family’s recipes, and since then it has expanded to focus on cultural memory and intergenerational healing for the Salvadoran diaspora.

Krystal C. Mack is a self-taught food designer and artist using her social practice to highlight food and nature’s role in collective healing, empowerment, and decolonization. Her work has been highlighted by the New York Times, NPR, Food & Wine, and MOLD Magazine. She has been named a “Woman to Watch” by the Baltimore Sun and featured on the Cherry Bombe 100 Women in Food list by Cherry Bombe Magazine as a food industry “Change Agent.” In 2023, she was awarded the United States Artist Fellowship in Architecture & Design, becoming the first artist in the history of the USA Fellowship to be honored for working with food.

Admission is free.
This event is co-sponsored by the Latinx and Hispanic Faculty Association, the Public Humanities Program, and UMBC Dining Services.

The Me Before The War No Longer Exists: Ukrainian Portraits Elena Volkova | Public Reception
Thursday, September 26 :: 4-6pm | Ongoing through December 14
@ Stevenson University

The Me Before The War No Longer Exists: Ukrainian Portraits is a participatory project that engages the community of Ukrainians displaced by war in collaborative creation of wet plate collodion portraits, with the aim to provide a platform for refugees to reclaim their sense of selfhood.

The project is framed through photography’s function to reflect society and convey truth, poetically. Utilizing it as a form social practice, I facilitate collaborative creation of portraits, using the historic wet plate collodion process, digital photography, and video. I am interested in emergent properties of collaboration and the agile process of shaping images, where the experience of making is centered. Ukrainian Portraits aims to bring visibility to people displaced by war, who are engaged in a delicate negotiation between their personal lives, communal backgrounds, and their emerging identities as displaced individuals. This project is guided by my own experiences of displacement; it addresses the themes of belonging, ambiguity, liminality, and subjectivity. The resulting images reflect a sense of transition, becoming, or, being in between, woven into the project’s narrative of reclaiming one’s selfhood. My creative role intertwines with the complexities of immigration, trauma, loss, and ambiguity that surrounds it. Through shared presence and creative collaboration, a unique artistic experience emerges, blurring the lines between the subject, creator, and audience.

Bio: Elena Volkova is a Ukrainian-born artist and educator, whose creative practice uses historic and contemporary photographic techniques to delve into the complex themes of liminality by exploring the nuances of subjective experiences. Volkova exhibited nationally and internationally, and has been a recipient of Rubys Grant, Baltimore Municipal Art Society Travel Prize, and a fellow at Hamiltonian Artists, in addition to other recognitions and awards that support her creative practice. Volkova has been a social practice resident artist at Maryland Center for History and Culture, Anacostia Arts Center, and Maker General among others, and her work is included in various private and public collections, including Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore Museum of Art, and MDHC. Volkova resides in Baltimore, MD and teaches Photography at Stevenson University.

 

 

Boshell Lecture Series: In the Ancient Artist’s Presence
Thursday, September 26 :: 6-7:30pm
@ The Walters Art Museum

This year marks the Walters Conservation Lab’s 90th anniversary. To celebrate this grand milestone, we invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Sanchita Balachandran, Director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum Conservation Institute. Balachandran will discuss how we can bring ancient artists back into full presence through the conservation of their works of art. She will explore how an interdisciplinary and experimental approach to the conservation and technical study of ancient objects offers us an opportunity to be present with these makers and even reconstruct some of their lived experiences. Discover how the artist’s presence, whimsy, and imagination come alive by examining components of pottery from ancient Athens and Italy, including a vessel attributed to the Baltimore Painter in the Walters collection.

REGISTER

Following the presentation, audience members can participate in a Q&A session with Balachandran moderated by Julie Lauffenburger, the Walters’ Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director of Conservation and Technical Research. Afterward, we welcome you to enjoy a light reception in our Museum Café.

This program is one of two lectures that are generously funded each year by the Boshell Foundation.

6 p.m.: Introductions
6:05 p.m.: Presentation
6:45 p.m.: Q&A Session
7 p.m.: Reception in Museum Café

ASL interpretation will be provided at this program.

About the Guest Speaker

Walk On By: Baltimore-Rotterdam Exhibition & Artist Exchange | Opening Reception
Thursday, September 26 : 6-9pm | Ongoing through November 30
@ Creative Alliance

Creative Alliance, TENT Rotterdam, and Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee, present Walk On By: an exhibition and a cultural exchange that connects Black artists, their diverse experiences, and artwork, across the Atlantic. Explore the Black Atlantic through the diverse stories of local artists in the historical port cities of Baltimore and Rotterdam, through exhibitions in both countries and an exchange program.

Featuring works by Schaun Champion (Baltimore), Charles Mason III (Baltimore), Naomi King (Rotterdam), kolpeace (Baltimore), Djon Seedorf (Rotterdam), and Tarona (Rotterdam).

Curated by Joy Davis, Visual Arts Director at Creative Alliance and founder of Waller Gallery.

The exhibition and artists exchange Walk On By explores the African diaspora in two historic industrial port cities, Baltimore and Rotterdam, through the many-layered and diverse stories that local artists can tell. In collaboration with Creative Alliance (Baltimore) and TENT (Rotterdam), Baltimore-based curator Joy Davis bridges conversations between different Black diasporic communities and art practices within their expansive mediums. The Walk On By exhibition and cultural exchange is in response to the Dionne Warwick song of the same name that parallels the necessity to commune and communicate with one’s community.

Walk On By begins its journey this September in Baltimore at Creative Alliance, and then travels to Rotterdam in the spring of 2025. Participating artists travel to each city during the exhibitions to experience the culture, engage with the community and artists, and create lasting connections across the Atlantic.

Walk On By explores the similarities between Baltimore & Rotterdam and the cities’ relationships with Black community members and artists. The project provides a unique opportunity for African American and Afro Dutch artists to travel abroad, build international networks, gain international exposure, and benefit from professional development opportunities. The organizations involved hope to build a deeper level of connection that can then be extended long beyond the project. In a world that is becoming increasingly polarized and hate-filled, we believe that in-person, cross-cultural exchanges like Walk On By help foster empathy and understanding.

The 2024 Baltimore Book Festival
Friday, September 27 | Ongoing through September 29

The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA), in partnership with the City of Baltimore, Wavery Main Street, Red Emma’s, and Peabody Heights Brewery, announced the dates for the 2024 Baltimore Book Festival at a press conference at City Hall on Monday, February 26 with Mayor Brandon M. Scott. The 2024 Baltimore Book Festival will be held Friday, September 27–Sunday, September 29, 2024, in and around Waverly Main Street. Not only will this year be the beloved Baltimore Book Festival’s return, but it will also be its 25th anniversary.

The 2023 festival created a critical platform for multiple local authors and poets of varying genres, as well as the neighborhood’s book sellers and small businesses. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of District 14 City Councilwoman Odette Ramos and the collaboration of many stakeholders and community members, this year’s festival will shine a light on the immense breadth and depth of Baltimore’s literary scene by hosting more authors, book sellers, and vendors from neighborhoods across the city.

Literature is part of the fabric of Baltimore. This city has inspired literary greats throughout the ages — famous figures like Frederick Douglass, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zora Neale Hurston, Edgar Allan Poe, D. Watkins, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Anna Deavere Smith, among many others. The Baltimore Book Festival celebrates Baltimore’s rich literary history, vibrant present, and bright future by connecting readers and authors and making the literary arts more engaging, entertaining, relevant, and accessible for all Baltimoreans. The festival will include literary salons, panel discussions, writing workshops, poetry readings, author talks, book signings, children’s activities, live podcast recordings, and more.

We hope you will join BmoreArt, GBCA / Baker, and Red Emma’s for a Literary Soiree on Saturday from 6:30 – 8:30 at Red Emma’s!!!

Art Omi: Architecture aims to nurture experimentation at the intersection of architecture, art, and landscape.

Artists

Art Omi: Artists invites artists from around the world, representing a wide diversity of artistic styles and practices, to gather in rural New York each summer to experiment, collaborate and share ideas. Concentrated time for creative work is balanced with the stimulation of cultural exchange and critical appraisal.

Land Line: Denver Botanic Gardens’ 2025 Artist Residency Program
deadline October 15

Land Line artists in residence use Denver Botanic Gardens’ collections, landscapes, and other resources to create artworks that explore nature and the relationship between humans and the natural world.

Land Line has a unique low-residency format: artists create most of their work independently in their own studio spaces during the residency timeframe (which lasts a full calendar year) but are required to visit the Gardens at least once within a predetermined two-month timeframe called a Focus Period. Time spent on-site at the Gardens during the Focus Period is geared towards meeting with staff collaborators, exploring gardens and collections, conducting research, and conceptualizing work. Artists may work on their projects before and after their Focus Period but should concentrate their engagement with Gardens staff and resources during the identified Focus Period. Artists are responsible for arranging their own travel, lodging, food, and supplies, supported by a $3,000 honorarium. Artists outside of Colorado are welcome to apply.

Artists are additionally required to attend four virtual cohort meetings during the residency year to share progress and connect with other artists, including a meeting to share their completed work at the close of the residency. At least one artwork must be completed by the end of the residency year. As part of the residency, Denver Botanic Gardens may acquire one artwork, which is proposed by the artist for consideration. Though DBG may exhibit acquired artworks in the future, the Land Line residency does not culminate in an exhibition. Land Line does not accept applications proposing onsite installations, public programming or exhibitions.

deadline October 22
posted by JHU

The Tabb Center will accept applications for our public humanities fellowship in the fall of 2024, with an application date of October 22, 2024. One fellow will be selected.

This one-year fellowship includes a stipend of up to $20,000, with an additional $5,000 available for programming or related expenses, and may potentially be renewed for a second year.

Public Humanities Fellows are non-institutionally affiliated organizers, artists, cultural workers, public historians, and knowledge-creators who research with and creatively interpret materials from the Sheridan Libraries’ rare book, manuscript, and archival collections. The fellow will create new perspectives on the archival and library collections, identifying and highlighting new connections between them and presenting them to the university community and broader Baltimore public in socially significant ways.

Fellows are expected to produce a deliverable based on research conducted within our collections. This could include interpreting materials through podcasts, audio tours, soundscapes, or oral histories, site-specific installations, virtual reality projects, interactive performances, community workshops, public talks, concerts, or other events.

Candidates will submit a timeline and budget as part of their application, including a start and end date. This fellowship may be, for example, a full-time 3-month fellowship, a part-time 12-month fellowship, or any other permutation. The spring semester (Feb to May) is an ideal time to access special collections materials, though these materials are available throughout the year.

The Young Saturday ‘Visiter’ Awards
deadline October 31
posted by Poe Baltimore

The Young Saturday ‘Visiter’ Awards (SVAs) are a new honor, presented by Poe Baltimore and the Baltimore National Heritage Area, recognizing High School students in Maryland who create artistic works inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.  The prizes honor media, art, performance and writing that adapts or is inspired by Poe’s life and works, created by a High School student (grade 9 – 12 or equivalent during the 2024-25  School Year) in the State of Maryland.

Though he was not wealthy in his lifetime, Edgar Allan Poe was the first American writer to support himself entirely by his pen. The Saturday Visiter was the name—and spelling—of a local periodical that held a contest for poetry and short stories. Poe won the award for his short story “MS Found in a Bottle” (which he wrote at Poe House.) The Saturday Visiter Awards are named after the prize a young Edgar Allan Poe won while he lived in Baltimore which helped to launch the famed writer’s career.

Works in any medium and genre (including digital or web-based works) are eligible. Entries are not limited to writing; graphical works, film, comics, music, live performance etc. may all be eligible. Only works created or performed by an individual who is a Maryland High School Student (grades 9-12 or equivalent during the 2024-25 School Year) are eligible to be entered. Works published or created in a language other than English are eligible, but at this time the work must provide English-language subtitles.

Entries may be submitted by any student artist, producer, publisher, author or any member of the creative team. Only works created by the student are eligible: ensemble teams may not include non-student members except in an advisory role; if the student contributed to a greater ensemble work, only the portion created/performed by the student will be considered. (Should you have questions about eligibility before submitting, please contact the Awards administrator [email protected])

Nominees for the Young Saturday ‘Visiter’ Awards will be announced in December and the award presented on or before Poe’s birthday, January 19, 2025. One award will be presented in each of two categories: Adaptation of Poe’s life and/or writing; Original works inspired by Poe’s life or writing.
