  • “The Earthworm and the Hawk”

    Crosstown Arts, West Gallery, Crosstown Concourse 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    The Earthworm and the Hawk is the overlap between two states of being.

    In the private and non-verbal world of Melissa Dunn’s sketchbook, she burrows deep, generating drawings intuitively from her imagination. As the pages fill up, she steps back and shifts perspective, becoming more objective. The lay of the land comes into sharp focus. Here she maps out, poses questions, and acts decisively.

  • The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents MEMPHIS 13

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    First grade can be a scary thing, even without the burden of making history. In October 1961, 13 first graders became some of the smallest pioneers of the Civil Rights Movement when they desegregated the Memphis City Schools. 'The Memphis 13' is their story. This documentary collects the stories of 13 families united by a comment moment in history, but experiences individually; stories of normal children living through an extraordinary moment. A half century later, they are proud of having broken a barrier, but many remain burdened by this difficult experience. The film uncovers a hidden story of the Movement, honors the children who lived it, and raises questions about the role of children in movements for social change. With a special guest panel discussion after the film.
