SUMMARY:Up in Arms Collective presents Response 2
DESCRIPTION:So what now? Nine months after the inaugural RESPONSE show\, it has become apparent that America’s new reality is here to stay. Even the nicest guy on late night TV\, Jimmy Fallon\, cannot escape it. So what now? \nResilience. We connect\, organize\, and keep going. Twenty-five artists converge at Crosstown Arts to create original works that explore today’s America. Up in Arms Collective was born out of the need for the dance community to respond to what is happening in America in an open and affirming environment. What originally began as a community of diverse Memphis dance artists has since grown to include local filmmakers\, musicians\, and artists. \nPerforming artists include Sheri Bancroft\, Orixa Bowers\, Travis Bradley\, Burton Bridges\, Katie Bug\, Marie Dennan\, EmiLy Dison\, Jill Guyton-Nee\, Stephanie Mei Hom\, J Tbj Jones\, Jenn King\, Louisa Koeppel\, Kristen Osborne Lucas\, Daniel Stuart Nelson\, Jade Primicias\, Wayne Smith\, Lauren Stallings\, and Noelia Warnette along with musicians SJ Bennett\, Steve Fox\, and Kyle Statham\, filmmakers Joel Rose and Laura Jean Hocking\, and photographers Yasmine Omari and Stephanie Wexler. \n“We are stronger when we come together—united\,” says dancer and artist Marie Dennan. “Up in Arms provides an environment for artists of all kinds to share ideas and support one another.” \nThrough community collaboration\, artists are empowered\, and through RESPONSE 2\, Up in Arms Collective hopes to leave others empowered. Art has the power to change us all and transform the world. \nOur responses are candid\, personal\, and as diverse as the artists themselves and explore power\, fear\, truth\, boldness\, self-determination\, activism\, love\, support\, protection\, humor\, and revolution. \nUp in Arms Collective presents RESPONSE 2 on Friday-Sunday\, December 1-3\, 2017\, at Crosstown Arts\, 430 N. Cleveland\, in Memphis\, TN. All performances begin at 7:00 pm. Each evening’s performance will be one-of-a kind and feature different performances.

SUMMARY:Art/Race/Violence: Artist+Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Conversation with artist teams Yancy Villa-Calvo and Lawrence Matthews\, Cat Pena and Jamond Bullock\, as well as community activist Tami Sawyer. \n\nArt/Race/Violence: A Collaborative Response is a multidisciplinary project organized by visual culture historian Dr. Earnestine Jenkins and artist Richard Lou in collaboration with Crosstown Arts. Through this project\, local artists collectively explore intersections of race and systemic violence through the lens of cultural expression. Conceived to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ell Persons’ very public murder by members of the Memphis community through the act of lynching\, the project was further inspired by recent events to memorialize lynching sites in the broader Memphis community in an effort to bring about greater understanding of racial oppression and violence in the South. \nThe organizers aim for more challenging\, candid and unvarnished representations of our city’s history through a range of educational programming\, including panel discussions which began last spring\, a collaborative exhibition (with performances and talks by the artists) opening this November\, community conversations\, and film screenings. \nThe exhibition features work by artist teams:\nJamin Carter and Mary Jo Karimnia (with Special Design Work for American Heritage Lotto by Christian Westphal)\nAndrea Morales and Terry Lynn\nLisa Williamson and Lurlynn Franklin\nYancy Villa-Calvo and Lawrence Matthews\nJamond Bullock and Cat Pena (video work by local artist Perry Kirkland and survivor profiles from #SurvivedAndPunished)\nKarina Alvarez and Carl Moore\nJin Powell and Jesse Butcher\nAgustin Diaz\, Brittney Bullock and Brenda Joysmith

SUMMARY:Art/Race/Violence: Artist + Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Conversation with artist teams Lisa Williamson and Lurlynn Franklin; Carl Moore and Karina Alvarez; Brittney Bullock\, Agustin Diaz\, and Brenda Joysmith; co-curator Richard Lou\, and Professor Holly Yu. Moderated by Dr. Earnestine Jenkins. \nArt/Race/Violence: A Collaborative Response is a multidisciplinary project organized by visual culture historian Dr. Earnestine Jenkins and artist Richard Lou in collaboration with Crosstown Arts.
