SUMMARY:CEREMONIES: A Selection of Short Films by Marlon Riggs
DESCRIPTION:Post-discussion to follow led by Aymar Jean Christian & zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nA filmmaker unlike any other\, Marlon Riggs was an unapologetic gay Black man who defied a culture of silence and shame. Riggs used a bold mix of documentary\, performance\, poetry\, and music to confront the legacy of racist stereotypes and the impact of AIDS on the Black community. He died in 1995 of AIDS-related illness\, leaving behind a vital\, living body of work that wrestled with the very definition of what it means to be Black. \nCEREMONIES directly references poet Essex Hemphill’s groundbreaking anthology of short stories and poetry Ceremonies: Prose and Poetry\, which won the National Library Association’s Gay\, Lesbian\, and Bisexual New Author Award when it was published in 1992. The book’s poems and essays expand on many important social issues at the time\, such as the white objectification of Black men\, as epitomized by Robert Mapplethorpe’s The Black Book; AIDS in the Black community; and the complex dynamics gay Black men experience in both the white LGBTQ+ community and in Black culture – very much in alignment with Rigg’s exploration of these topics as it appears in his film works. In addition\, Essex Hemphill’s poetry was also featured in Marlon Riggs’ documentaries Tongues Untied (1989) and Black Is … Black Ain’t (1994). \nThis program features three of Riggs’ short films: Affirmations\, Anthem\, and Regrette Rien (No Regret). \nA post-discussion will be led by SSCAC Public Programs and Engagement Manager\, and co-curatort of EMERGENCE zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal and Aymar Jean Christian\, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Northwestern University\, and co-founder of OTV | Open Television. \n  \n\n\nThis screening is presented in conjunction with EMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center\, currently on view until July 2\, 2022. \nEMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center spotlights The South Side Community Art Center’s historical role in supporting a full spectrum of Black artists through an intersectional viewpoint. The first exhibition of its kind at the South Side Community Art Center\, EMERGENCE positions the Center as an important anchor for Black LGBTQ artists who belonged to its community from its founding in 1940 to the 1980s and beyond. The exhibition features works addressing identity and community\, queer spaces and performance\, in collage\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and more. \n  \nThis program is generously supported by\, and in partnership with South Side Projections. \nFounded in 2011\, South Side Projections presents films at locations across Chicago’s south side to foster conversation about complex social and political issues. At many screenings\, we enlist scholars\, activists\, and filmmakers to lead discussions\, while other screenings offer opportunities to present seldom-seen films of historical and artistic value to the communities of Chicago’s south side.

SUMMARY:Virtual Film Screening and Discussion: Inhabitants
DESCRIPTION:Join is virtually for our Earth Week Activities!\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nIn celebration of Earth Day and Earth Week\, join us for a virtual screening of the film Inhabitants. You can view the film at your leisure anytime between April 22-29th\, 2022. Be sure to join us on Sunday\, April 24th at 7:00pm for a panel discussion with filmmakers Costa Boutsikaris and Dr. Michael Kotutwa Johnson. *All links will be emailed before April 22nd. \n  \nInhabitants: Indigenous Perspectives on Restoring Our World \nFor millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes\, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain their traditional land management practices. From deserts\, coastlines\, forests\, mountains\, and prairies\, Native communities across the US are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. The five stories include sustaining traditions of Hopi dryland farming in Arizona; restoring buffalo to the Blackfeet reservation in Montana; maintaining sustainable forestry on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin; reviving native food forests in Hawaii; and returning prescribed fire to the landscape by the Karuk Tribe of California. As the climate crisis escalates these time-tested practices of North America’s original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world. \nWebsite: www.INHABITANTSFILM.com \nInstagram: @InhabitantsFilm \nFaceBook: www.FaceBook.com/InhabitantsFilm \n  \nFilmmakers: \nCosta Boutsikaris – Co-Director/Cinematographer/Editor \nCosta is a New York-based director and cinematographer. In 2015 he released his first feature documentary entitled INHABIT: A Permaculture Perspective. In 2016 it took home the Audience Choice Award at The Environmental Film Festival At Yale and the Princeton Environmental Film Festival and won Best In Theme at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival. \nDirectors Statement \n  \nWe\, Anna Palmer and Costa Boutsikaris\, have had the immense privilege of getting the opportunity to help Native project leaders share their stories and visions of the future. In 2017 Anna Palmer was working for the USDA helping develop climate adaptation plans for Tribes in the Southwest. While attending academic conferences on Climate Change Adaptation she continued to hear a constant request for higher quality media of Native land management projects. Through conversations with Tribal project leaders and our supporting foundations we developed a plan for creating a film to help document these projects. This film was made collaboratively with our Tribal Advisory Board\, which includes representatives from each of the Tribes highlighted in the film and the Kalliopeia Foundation. These partnerships allowed the film subjects to ensure that the film is accurate\, culturally appropriate and meets the needs of their communities. \n  \nFor more information about this program\, contact info@mitchellmuseum.org

SUMMARY:The Bridge to Native Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The Bridge to Native Chicago\nMembers of RedLine\, a local Chicago Native American Drum group\, and interdisciplinary artist Ronnie Preston (San Carlos Apache)\, along with jazz musicians from France\, collectively known as The Bridge\, will be the featured musicians for this unique collaboration.\n\nThe Bridge intends to form a network for exchange\, production\, and diffusion\, to build a transatlantic bridge that will be crossed on a regular basis by French and American musicians as part of collaborative projects. And\, in addition to the scheduled projects\, encourage meetings and relationships between creative musicians and perpetuate them. In other words: to give them the times and spaces to join and rejoin on both sides of the ocean and to deepen their exchanges.\n\nRedLine is a group of intertribal singers who perform songs from the great Oklahoma Nations of the Southern Plains. RedLine formed in 2012 to address a vital need for a community-based Drum. This action was necessary as it created resurgence in arts engagement needed to mobilize and build community and introduce/reintroduce cultural practice among youth and young adults in the Native American community. Through song\, RedLine shares a small taste of southern plains culture with Chicago and the Midwest big water area\, while providing a circle for intergenerational teaching and learning.\n\nChampion grass dancer and hoop dancer\, singer\, storyteller\, and accomplished artist\, Ronnie Preston is dedicated to sharing the cultures of Native American tribes and nations through music and dance. As a performing artist and spokesperson\, Mr. Preston has toured from coast to coast\, frequently as a guest on college campuses. A descendant of the San Carlos Apache nation in Arizona\, he began dancing and attending pow wow celebrations as a young child. Now residing in Chicago\, he is a celebrated teacher\, performer throughout the Midwest\, a guest for events at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and other venues\, and performer and emcee for pow wows and many other presentations celebrating Native American culture.

SUMMARY:Amin Gulgee Performance: “Kiss of the Spider Woman”
DESCRIPTION:The South Asia Institute will host Amin Gulgee Performance “Kiss of the Spider Woman”.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis will be a collaborative performance work with 13-17 participants which will take place over a period of 77 minutes. The approach will be cross-disciplinary as Gulgee will engage actors\, dancers\, visual artists and musicians to work with him. This will be an experiential event and the audience will navigate through the space as the performances simultaneously occur around them. All the senses will be engaged in this journey of touch\, sight\, hearing\, smell and taste. Through these senses information is sent to the brain to help us understand the world around us. Installations and projections will be employed emotively. This will be an act of collective dreaming. As Yoko Ono famously said: “A dream you dream alone is only a dream; a dream you dream together is a reality.”
