SUMMARY:Voices of the Proud: LGBT+ Composers
DESCRIPTION:On the Sunday before Transgender Day of Visibility\, join us to celebrate LGBT+ culture with “Voices of the Proud: LGBT+ Composers”! The program features the beauty\, love\, grief\, playfulness\, creativity\, and pride of music by LGBT+ artists chosen from a call for submissions.\nThis event will be broadcast live on the Crossing Borders Music Facebook and YouTube channels.\nEnjoy Xenia St. Charles Gilbert’s “How to Spot a Trans Woman According to My Neurosurgeon\,” performed brilliantly by violist Seth Van Embden\, along with the clever wordplay of a voiceover by the composer herself!\nTony Doubek’s “Mind Over Matter” is his own\, brand new arrangement of the final movement what he calls his “3 movement piece depicting my experience living with Bipolar II” from his “collection of intensely personal pieces.” It is stunning\, intensely beautiful\, and hopeful.\nFrida V. de la Sota’s “elegía de una pandemia” captures the stillness\, mourning\, and grief of the almost universal sense of loss during the pandemic.\nThe livestream will share the world premiere of Rylan Gleave’s “biomimicry” for piano quintet. Rylan took the idea of biomimicry\, which he calls “the emulation of natural elements\, for the purpose of solving complex human problems” and asks\, “What if we apply this idea to music?”\nEthan Soledad’s lush and romantic “In effect it is this: that I love you” was “inspired by a love letter written by renowned WWI poet Wilfred Owen to his colonel\, mentor\, and fellow poet Siegfried Sassoon. Both literary legends were known for their raw depictions of the war in their poetry with Sassoon serving as a major influence to Owen’s own work. Both were also closeted homosexuals in a time and place where it was criminalized. Even so\, the incredible bond the two formed during their time together is so evident in the unrelenting love and admiration that Owen exemplifies in this letter.”\nMiguel del Aguila’s exciting and wild “Tamboreño” is a pandemic creation inspired by carnival parades in Miguel’s home town in Uruguay\, with electric musical energy!\nLeland Harris’s “In the Outside: Queer Dances” finds authentic joy in its playful rhythms!\nFeaturing Marianne Parker; piano; Jennifer Leckie and Rasa Mahmoudian\, violins; Seth Van Embden\, viola; and Tom Clowes\, cello; Aidan Kranz\, cinematography; with special thanks to Thavary Krouch for her technical support.\nThis program is made possible in part by the Paul M Angell Family Foundation and City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.\nCrossing Borders Music acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.\nPictured: composer Ethan Gonzalez Soledad\, sitting outside on a bench in a white button-down shirt and dark pants\, posing with a hand behind his head.

SUMMARY:Kozmopoliz Kampopoliz: A Tour of Cosmo Campoli's Hyde Park
DESCRIPTION:Take a trolley tour through the Kozmopoliz\, also known as Cosmo Campoli’s Hyde Park\, as we celebrate the 100th birthday of the late artist.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nMany know Campoli’s Bird of Peace sculpture in Nichols Park\, but he lived in the neighborhood for over 40 years\, leaving his mark on everything from what was eaten at certain restaurants (Spaghetti A La Gargoyle anyone?) to what got shown at the 57th St. Art Fair. On this tour\, we’ll retrace his steps\, searching out the bits of Hyde Park’s past that survive to this day. \nTour Guide: Paul Durica is the Director of Exhibitions at the Newberry Library. He has a PhD in English from the University of Chicago\, where he developed a series of free and interactive walks\, talks\, and reenactments dealing with Chicago’s past. These public history experiences have received local and national media attention and led to collaborations with cultural institutions from across the city. This is his fifth Hyde Park tour. Find out more at https://pocketguidetohell.com/ \nAdvance RSVP’s are required. Space is very limited. Masks and proof of vaccination required. \nThe trolley will load and unload passengers outside the Logan Center for the Arts\, 915 E 60th St. \n\n\nThis event is part of a day-long series of events\, Cosmo’s Cosmos: 100 Years of Birth\, Death\, and Rebirth. \nMarch 21\, 2022 will be the centenary of the birth of sculptor and Hyde Park resident Cosmo Campoli. Campoli (1922-1997) was part of the “Monster Roster” group associated with the Chicago Imagists in the 1950s\, including Leon Golub and H.C. Westermann. His work\, which frequently centered on themes of birth and death\, was exhibited as part of the Chicago Imagists at the Hyde Park Art Center. His sculpture\, “Bird of Peace\,” known colloquially as “The Egg\,” is a well-known piece of public art in Nichols Park. \n\nThis event is part of the Chicago Lost & Found series of events focused on Chicago art history created by Media Burn Archive. It is being held in partnership with the Smart Museum of Art and the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago.  It is presented as part of Art Design Chicago Now\, an initiative funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art that amplifies the voices of Chicago’s diverse creatives\, past and present\, and explores the essential role they play in shaping the now.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Say My Name
DESCRIPTION:A look at female lyricists in hip-hop and R&B.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nDiscussion led by hip-hop artist Amina Norman-Hawkins. \nIn a hip hop and R&B world dominated by men and noted for misogyny\, the unstoppable female lyricists of Say My Name speak candidly about class\, race\, and gender in pursuing their passions as female MCs. This worldwide documentary takes viewers on a vibrant tour of urban culture and musical movement\, from hip hop’s birthplace in the Bronx\, to grime on London’s Eastside\, to Philly\, Detroit\, Chicago\, Atlanta\, and L.A.\, and points in between. Featuring interviews and musical performances from a diverse cast of women that includes Remy Ma\, Rah Digga\, Jean Grae\, Erykah Badu\, Estelle\, as well as newcomers Chocolate Thai\, Invincible and Miz Korona\, this powerful documentary delves into the amazing personal stories of women balancing professional dreams with the stark realities of poor urban communities\, race\, sexism\, and motherhood. The more than 18 artists featured in SAY MY NAME battle for a place in a society that creates few chances for women. From emerging artists filled with new creativity\, to true pioneers like MC Lyte\, Roxxanne Shante\, and Monie Love\, these are women turning adversity into art.

SUMMARY:Greek Independence Day: The Struggle for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:On March 25th\, we commemorate Greek Independence Day. Two hundred and one years ago\, the Greek struggle for independence from the Ottoman Empire began. The Greek fight to end four hundred years of Ottoman Turkish oppression attracted the attention and support of people around the world. Consequently\, the Greek War of Independence became the first in line of “freedom struggles\,” in which a national or civil war for independence or sovereignty attracted would-be freedom fighters from around the world. \nIn this special NHM Discussion\, we will explore why the Greek War of Independence ignited such passion in non-Greeks and how the legacy of “Greek Freedom” served to create the idea of a universal “cause of freedom” that transcends national and ethnic borders. \nThis event will be recorded.

SUMMARY:PROMPT/ DREAM/ BUILD: Andrea Yarbrough & ebere agwuncha
DESCRIPTION:A virtual conversation from South Side Community Art Center’s 3831/Voices Series. \n3831/VOICES is a new program series of conversations and lectures featuring Black artists\, scholars\, curators\, historians\, and arts workers that invite our community into their creative practices\, research\, and conceptual processes\, and more! 3831 takes after SSCAC’s exact numerical address in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood. Although we recognize ourselves as an iconic historical site for Black artistic and cultural advancement\, we continue to evolve as a contemporary hub for new thought practices\, creative practices\, and innovative frameworks being developed by a diverse array of amazing folks here in our city\, and beyond. \nAndrea and ebere’s multidisciplinary practices are informed by acts of care and storytelling\, that ultimately become actualized within the objects and projects they build out- individually and collectively. Engaging in practices of co-thinking\, designing\, and building\, they both expand on alternative modes for solidarity amongst Black women\, restorative design approaches\, and a socially informed process of creating.Andrea and ebere will lead us in to a live call and response\, directed by their relationships to dreaming\, thought processes\, and “the work”. \n\nZOOM REGISTRATION: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqcuirqTooE9VNHGJRbDjKaWG2dG5FpvoP \nImage courtesy: Andrea Yarbrough

SUMMARY:What Cutting Edge Research Tells Us About How Arts and Culture Donors Are Behaving\, Presented by Neon One - Mar 23 @ 1pm
DESCRIPTION:This session will present an overview of critical research occurring throughout our sector on the transitioning behavior of donors. Utilizing data from the Fundraising Effectiveness Project\, Visa’s Global Analytics and Insights Payment Panel Data on Charitable Giving\, and philanthropic psychology research we will look to understand the reality of how donors are behaving\, why they are giving\, and what arts and cultural nonprofit fundraisers can do to not react how donors have behaved in the past but instead anticipate behavioral trends for the future.\n \nSpeaker:\nTim Sarrantonio (he/his) is a team member at Neon One and has more than 10 years of experience working for and volunteering with nonprofits. Tim has raised over $3 million for various causes\, engaged and enhanced databases of all sizes\, procured multiple successful grants\, and formulated engaging communications and fundraising campaigns for several nonprofits. He has presented at international conferences and is a TEDx speaker on technology and philanthropy. He volunteers heavily in his community around Niskayuna\, NY.\n \nSponsored by Neon One
