We're not letting summer slip away without bringing events and moments to challenge you, move you, and entertain you.
We’re going to MOVE your brain with an open panel discussion on systemic racism with SCA Visiting Artist, Sandra Antongiorgi and special guests on Thursday, September 9th.
Then join us on Friday, September 10th to MOVE your body to the swingin’ sounds of Kalamazoo-based Kanola Band!
Voices Beyond the Canvas: Amplifying a New Narrative
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH | 7:00 PM
An open panel discussion on systemic racism
Join us for an evening of discussion, insight, questions and more as we hear from the voices beyond the canvas. You will hear from artist Sandra Antongiorgi and trauma-informed specialist Elena Quintana and special guests, Orlando Mayorga and Joseph Mapp, as they unpack the racial complexities and narratives behind the portraits of the Cages Rooster series. This series highlights the injustices, trauma and often silent suffering inflicted on incarcerated youth and invites us all to reflect on these injustices and learn new ways to amplify new narratives.
All open minds are welcome, no registration is required.
