Her work has appeared in various online and print publications including Poetry Magazine\, Poet Lore\, The Offing\, The Louisville Review\, and Blue Lake Review. American Happiness (2016)\, her first collection\, published by New South Books\, won the Balcones Poetry Prize. How to Survive the Apocalypse was released in August 2022. \n  \nAli Manning is a food scientist\, food educator\, author\, and founder of Umami Food Consulting. With over ten years in the food industry\, she utilizes her passion for food\, science\, and community to help food entrepreneurs tackle the issues beyond the kitchen. Ali is the Program Consultant for Project Green Fork and the creator of Food Science 4 Kids\, a program that teaches grade-school children food science. She recently published her first children’s book\, entitled Can I Play with my Food?\, a book that explores food and science through the eyes of two sisters\, Nema and Lexi. Ali is a graduate of Alabama A&M University and a Huntsville\, Alabama\, native\, but after being a transplant for nearly twelve years\, she truly considers Memphis her home. \n  \nNubia Yasin is a screenwriter\, poet\, and multidisciplinary artist born in Memphis\, Tennessee. She uses her craft to explore themes around shame\, sex\, love\, and family\, with an acute focus on the Black Femme experience. She often pulls from her family history as a first generation Somali-American living in the south to tell stories about Black womanhood and Black motherhood. Her work is imbued with a sense of spirituality\, incorporating elements of Islam and Southern American Hoodoo. The Blood and Body (2022) is her debut collection of poetry. \n  \nDr. Terrence Tucker is an associate professor and chair of African American literature in the Department of English at the University of Memphis. He is the author of Furiously Funny: Comic Rage from Ralph Ellison to Chris Rock (University Press of Florida\, 2018). He has also published essays on topics ranging from race and pedagogy to Ernest Gaines to African-American superheroes and in journals from Pedagogy\, Southern Literary Journal\, and College Language Association Journal. He is finishing work on his second book project\, The Rise of the Afristocracy: Portraits of the Black Elite in Contemporary African American Literature contracted with University Press of Florida. This book traces the representation of the Black elite in African-American literature from the lives of free Blacks during slavery to rising Black middle and upper classes in the twenty-first century. \n  \nDr. Shelby Crosby’s research spans mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century African American literature\, representations of womanhood (particularly Black womanhood)\, and critical race theory. It threads together critical race\, Black feminism\, and literary historical frameworks to interrogate an American national story. Dr. Crosby is currently working on a book manuscript that examines the pervasive derogatory ideologies of Black womanhood. Using Black feminist theory to ground the text\, she will examine such authors as Frederick Douglass\, Williams Wells Brown\, and Martin Delany\, arguing that\, through their adoption of traditional demarcations of white womanhood\, Black women are further pushed to the margins of American society.

SUMMARY:ICEBERG New Music Workshop: Sound Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:In two sessions\, participants search for sounds that meet certain criteria (i.e. “high\, short\, loud” or “low\, short\, soft”) and record them with portable recorders. The sounds will then be used to create an online “sound” map that lists the sounds’ qualities\, source\, and location\, allowing anyone to download the sounds to use in a creative project. \nLed by Drake Andersen\nMeet at the reception desk in Crosstown Concourse’s Central Atrium\nFree (register on Eventbrite) \nNew York City-based composer collective ICEBERG New Music will be in residence at Crosstown Arts for two weeks of concerts\, workshops\, and lectures. Memphis-based contemporary chamber group Blueshift Ensemble will collaborate with ICEBERG and perform the collective’s original compositions. \nSponsored by Amro Music \n\nAbout ICEBERG New Music:\nFounded by composer Alex Burtzos in 2016\, ICEBERG new music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. The mission of the organization is to promote the idea that substance – not surface – is the heart of music creation and perception. We live in an era where dogma is out of place; composers can\, and should\, draw from an unprecedentedly broad array of influences in their work – including popular music\, avant-garde techniques\, and everything in between. The ten ICEBERG composers hail from different schools and cultivate radically different sounds\, but their contrasting musical languages belie shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert\, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century. ICEBERG is committed to radical stylistic inclusiveness\, excellence of craft\, dialogue with the audience\, and a modernization of the concert-going experience. \n \n\nAbout Blueshift Ensemble:\nBlueshift is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers.

SUMMARY:ICEBERG New Music Collective\, Concert I
DESCRIPTION:New York City-based composer collective ICEBERG New Music will be in residence at Crosstown Arts for two weeks of concerts\, workshops\, and lectures. Memphis-based contemporary chamber group Blueshift Ensemble will collaborate with ICEBERG and perform the collective’s original compositions. \nConcert I program:\nAlyssa Weinberg – Parallels for string quartet\nMax Grafe – An Effulgence Fills the Southern Boughs for flute\, clarinet\, violin\, cello\, piano\, and percussion\nVictor Baez – A Doe Leaps into the Rising Sun for solo cello\nWill Healy – Mixed Feelings for clarinet\, violin\, and piano\nDerek Cooper – Guernica  for string quartet \nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Performance at 7 p.m.\nCrosstown Concourse\, Central Atrium\nFree (donations accepted)\nFacebook invite \nSponsored by Amro Music \n\nAbout ICEBERG New Music:\nFounded by composer Alex Burtzos in 2016\, ICEBERG new music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. The mission of the organization is to promote the idea that substance – not surface – is the heart of music creation and perception. We live in an era where dogma is out of place; composers can\, and should\, draw from an unprecedentedly broad array of influences in their work – including popular music\, avant-garde techniques\, and everything in between. The ten ICEBERG composers hail from different schools and cultivate radically different sounds\, but their contrasting musical languages belie shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert\, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century. ICEBERG is committed to radical stylistic inclusiveness\, excellence of craft\, dialogue with the audience\, and a modernization of the concert-going experience. \n \nAbout Blueshift Ensemble:\nBlueshift is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers.

SUMMARY:"Barrier Free" Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Yancy Villa-Calvo will discuss “Barrier Free\,” her socially engaged art installation on display in Crosstown Concourse’s Central Atrium. A Q&A will follow. The talk will take place in front of the installation. \n\nBarrier Free is a portion of a socially engaged art installation designed for the Latino Memphis Festival by Yancy Villa-Calvo. The installation is on view through June 5th. \nBuilding on the current and controversial idea of the proposed wall along the US-Mexico border\, the installation aims to create awareness and encourages viewers to pause\, reflect\, and act. \nThe installation attempts to be inclusive and open to interpretation. Symbols make reference to barriers around nationality\, race\, religion\, sexual orientation and identity\, gender\, and socioeconomic aspects. This project is less about the actual wall and more about the systematic attempts to divide individuals\, families\, and communities. \n\n  \nioby Campaign

SUMMARY:Robin Salant: Crosstown Lights
DESCRIPTION:Winning Project: Memfeast 2 \nFrom the Commercial Appeal: \nCrosstown canvas comes alive with color\nFrom Staff Reports\nTuesday\, September 20\, 2011 \n\nA large crowd on Friday night witnessed the artful lighting of the main body of the old Sears Crosstown building. \nScores of cars pulled into the parking lot on Cleveland near North Parkway for a different kind of tailgating event. \nNearly 300 windows form a large grid on the south side of the vacant building. About 40 windows in the middle were used by artist Robin Salant as a canvas for her colorful\, moving light\, all to the delight of onlookers. \nNext\, eyes will turn to the art deco tower at the front of the 1.4 million-square-foot building. \nSalant will light its windows with moving color starting at 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 22. \nShe won a Crosstown Arts commission in a MemFEAST event to create art that brings attention to the planned redevelopment of the long-vacant building. \nFlipping the switch on the tower lights will be part of another event at Cleveland at North Parkway on Oct. 22.
