SUMMARY:ArtRevival Showcase: Intersectionality Project
DESCRIPTION:Nine rising artists will display their work and share the motivation behind their pieces. \nThis semester\, the students created work addressing the topic of intersectionality — a term used to describe the overlapping or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression\, domination\, or discrimination. Students were asked to embrace their differences or question their oppression. Issues they face vary from racism to islamophobia to cyberbullying and so many others. \nThe students in ArtRevival went through a series of workshops to develop their art skills and expand their awareness on community issues. Additionally\, work along a similar theme by other community artists will be on display. \nEnjoy the art\, listen to the voiceless\, donate to the organization\, eat great food\, and have fun! It’s free! \nFor more information\, email ArtRevival at artrevival.memphis@gmail.com or call 901.264.9440. Additional information may also be found on the ArtRevival website.  \nOrganized by ArtRevival

SUMMARY:Frame Traps: Street Fighter Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Show of artwork by Kenneth Alexander inspired by the video game\, Street Fighter. Jazz fusion band Reach will perform remixes of Street Fighter background music. Cosplay models will accent the room. Walk-in cosplay models are welcome. \nFrom the artist\, Kenneth Alexander:\n“Imagination is another reality that molds us. Frame Traps is an art show that depicts the growth of decision-making through the concentration of fighting games. If I needed ways to figure out how to deal with certain life situations on my own\, I would play out scenarios through the matches I fought. As I used this practice more often\, I found myself retaining information and coming up with more creative ideas in normal life. I want to show that gaming is a great source to grow and build a strong mind and to help one become a better person.”

SUMMARY:Memphis Women in Film: Equal Means Equal

SUMMARY:Inaugurate the Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Inaugurate the Resistance​ is an exhibition on Memphians’ experiences of the Women’s Marches that happened on January 21\, 2017 in Washington\, DC\, and Memphis. \n\nOn view: May 4-5\, 3-9 p.m.; May 6-8\, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.\nOpening reception: May 5\, 6-9 p.m. \n\nThrough photographs\, audio recordings\, video footage\, and mixed media\, the exhibit creates a immersive and participatory experience for audiences. \nCollaborating artists include photographer and photojournalist Yalonda M. James\, Joann Self Selvidge (True Story Pictures)\, and Sara Kaye Larson (Maps & Weather Productions)\, with support from co-curators Leah Keys (Spillit)\, and Jamie Harmon (Amurica). \nThe immersive\, artist-driven elements of the exhibit include a visual tunnel of march footage that audiences can walk through as if they were march participants\, a portrait wall of photographs\, and audio buttons that play excerpts of participants’ personal stories. \nCommunity voices and perspectives are reflected in the exhibit via the “storytelling wall\,” which engages audiences through their photos and stories to include their experiences in the show. \nPrior to the show\, the artists are inviting Memphians who attended a women’s march to submit photos of themselves via www.InaugurateTheResistance.com for a “community photo grid” that is integrated into the storytelling portion of the exhibition. Then\, on opening and closing nights\, the artists will offer interactive opportunities for audiences to bring their protest signs and to record their stories onsite at the Spillit Storybooth. \nAfter the exhibit\, these audio recordings will be shared online via the Storycorps.Me archive and donated to the Crossroads to Freedom Digital Archive at Rhodes College and the Library of Congress.

SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: Concept to Camera
DESCRIPTION:Monthly filmmmaking forum presented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts. May topic: Concept to Camera with Ryan Earl Parker. \n\nThe cinematographer is not only one of the key creative minds on a film\, but also the craftsperson whose work is most directly impactful to that film’s visual experience. Join esteemed cinematographer Ryan Earl Parker (Sweet\, Sweet Lonely Girl\, Feral) as he guides you through his creative process\, which is less focused on the camera and lighting tools as it is on how to communicate with a director\, and\, ultimately\, connect with and execute their unique vision. Cinematography is much more than the type of camera you use or simply creating beautiful images; it’s about shooting in a way that is relevant to the film itself\, as well as turning a director’s abstract ideas into a purposeful and visually engaging work. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m./panel discussion at 7 p.m. Free and open to the public. Complimentary beverages will be available.
