  • Little Richard: I Am Everything

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

    Like a quasar burning past the gaslight, director Lisa Cortés’ eye-opening documentary explodes the whitewashed canon of American pop music.

  • NOHMADS

    Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Art rockers from Chicago, NOHMADS weave layers of noir, sludge, and pop to create their unique sound, combining songs, spoken word, and visual elements to tell stories. The band's debut LP, Chartreuse, contains seven original tracks. Soaring guitars, dynamic percussion, and haunting vocal harmonies escort the listener on a ride through everyday silenced small town dramas, into murky backwoods of past lives, and along hopeful deserted dream landscapes.

  • “Entrances, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt”

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

    “Entrances, Exits and the Spaces Betwixt” presents contrasting aspects of personality, showcasing the yin and yang of pneuma. The exhibit represents a mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation within a palpable dreamscape. Works presented depict and embrace ideas of transitory spaces visually, mentally and physically. 

  • “Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line”

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

    “Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line” by Khara Woods presents a collection of paintings, sculpture and creative devices developed since 2016. The works examine the creation of movement and texture focusing on a restricted set of grids, bold colors and shapes inspired by basic geometry. Within these confines, there are arrangements that intertwine, shift and vibrate across canvas and wood.

  • “Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas”

    Crosstown Arts, Screening Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    “Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Seas” is composed of videos from McLean Fahnestock’s Stratagem series, where the sea and sky flip and merge to generate a new, seductive yet false horizon. Stratagems are plans or schemes that are designed to deceive. Usually referring to warfare, they are a well-executed artifice upon an enemy. Working with her interest in desire as it manifests in the landscape, these works present the ways that our desires can open a door to our ultimate deception.
