SUMMARY:BLACK ARTSTORY MONTH KICKOFF: MEET ME AT THE GYM
DESCRIPTION:This event is limited capacity. Please arrive early. Lineup is subject to change. RSVP is on our Eventbrite link: http://blackartstorykickoff.eventbrite.com/ \nBLACK ARTSTORY MONTH KICKOFF:\nMEET ME AT THE GYM\nA Night of Performance\, Engagement & Art \nDuring the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s & 1960s\, movement leaders\, organizers\, protesters and community members gathered in churches\, community centers and private dwellings to plan actions\, to heal\, to be motivated. At the same time\, experimental artists began congregating for improvisational\, ephemeral happenings. \nThe intention for these gatherings was to break down the traditional conventions of art making– removing the need to create a tangible object\, moving art into everyday spaces\, where the performance and the experience of viewing and engaging with the artists was the art. \nMeet Me at the Gym\, is a merger of the two. A night of equal parts artistic expression and community building. Tonight we aim to spark a flame–to assemble as a community to create and to be inspired. \nCome open to engage\, to participate\, to speak\, and to paint! \nLIVE PERFORMANCES from 7:30-8:30 featuring (lineup times TBC):\n1.Manifest\nManifest is a group of men from all walks of life who love\, provide and protect their families\, are stand-up individuals in their communities\, and most of all who love and honor God. Manifest was originally assembled in 2006 by late founder Jonathan Hicks at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Clinton Hill. Since then Manifest has successfully completed 2 bodies of work\, Highest Praise and A Manifest Christmas. Over the past 3 years\, Manifest has sang in churches and different establishments in Compton California\, St. Louis Missouri\, Cleveland Ohio\, and Washington D.C. Manifest is currently working on new material expected to release this year.\n2. Sophia Dawson & her Roller Skating Crew\n3. Victorious Dance Company (also performing during the Glass Eye/February 26th)\n4. Open Mic for Attendees \nART ENGAGEMENTS All Night\n(Workshops subject to change)\n1. Live Painting throughout the night by Black Artstory Month Artist in Residence at Ingersoll\, Ashton Agbomenou.\n2. SONYA (South of the Navy Yard Artists) Collaborative Painting Session Join SONYA in the fabrication of murals featuring the faces of community members.\n3. DIY Photo Booth – Take a photo to remember the night!\n4.The Writing’s On the Wall- Write your thoughts\, poems\, words\, songs in response to the performances and conversations you’ve experienced on banners around the gym.\n5. Personal Motto/Anthem (Sign making) – During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s\, the song\, “We Shall Overcome” became an anthem of the movement. In the 1970s\, Marvin Gaye created his anthem\, “What’s Going On” in response to the Vietman War. In 2013\, Janelle Monae and Wondaland Records released the song “Hell You Talmbout” in reaction to the rampant cases of police brutality across the United States. These songs and titles were used as rally cries\, unifiers of people\, and a way to release society’s frustrations and confusion about the world around them. If you could create a motto or title for your personal anthem that motivates you to push forward\, to inspire you to act\, what would it be?\n6. FILM SCREENING – Soundtrack for a Revolution (Hallway) 1hr 22min “SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION tells the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music -the freedom songs protesters sang on picket lines\, in mass meetings\, in paddy wagons\, and in jail cells as they fought for justice and equality. \nPresented by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership in collaboration with Ingersoll Community Center\, MEET ME AT THE GYM is part of Black Artstory Month 2016 titled\, SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. The series of FREE performances\, talks\, film screenings\, and public art experiences celebrate the enduring influences and contributions that African Americans have made and are making within the visual and performing arts worlds. Coinciding with Black History Month\, SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED will transform Myrtle Avenue into a cultural destination with window murals\, art exhibits and events featuring the work of 50 artists.\nhttp://www.myrtleavenue.org/blackartstory

The sculpture was built from wood\, foam\, cardboard\, and covered in collaged images of the car itself. The Ford Galaxy functioned as a set for a monologue comprised solely of quotes taken from speeches delivered by Martin Luther King Jr.\, Nelson Mandela\, and Mahatma Gandhi. The monologue rearranged exact quotes to create a script that resembled one side of a heated dialogue\, resulting in a narrative involving love\, betrayal\, violence\, and murder. The scene unfolds over the span of a simulated car ride down Martin Luther King Kr. Boulevard in New York\, and was performed by del Valle while wearing mask composed of the faces of all three historical figures combined.\nwww.estebandelvalle.com/illustrations \nMore info on the Filmmakers can be found at:\nLindsay Catherine\nwww.lindsaycatherine.com / @sirrahyasdnil \nYisa Fermin\n@fermincreeps \nEsteban del Valle\nwww.estebandelvalle.com / @estebandelvalle112 \nPresented by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership FILM: re-work/re-frame\, A Night of Short Films & Documentaries to spotlight voices under heard or unseen is part of Black Artstory Month 2016 titled\, SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.

SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: The Glass Eye Featuring Hot Hands & members of Victorious Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:This event is limited capacity. Please arrive early. Lineup is subject to change. \nPERFORMANCE: The Glass Eye\nFeaturing Hot Hands & members of Victorious Dance Company\nFriday\, Feb 26\, 7-9pm\nBLDG 92 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard\, 63 Flushing Ave\nRunning Time: Approx. 1 hour\nSome material may not be suitable for children. \nPart 1: Opening Piece by Victorious Dance Company\nPart 2: The Glass Eye featuring Hot Hands & Victorious Dance Company\n\nThe Glass Eye\nThe placement of a camera on a body of authority as a deterrent of violence to another has created new forms of perception and symbolism concerning race relations and the growing paranoia for “the other” from both citizens and those sworn to protect them. The Glass Eye is a multi-disciplinary performance piece for voice\, music\, dance and film concerning the disembodiment of the black body through police violence; and the subsequent protests in reaction to these incidents—witnessed through the camera eye. \nAbout the Performers:\nHOT HANDS is the performance art moniker of Kiowa Hammons and Daonne Huff. Influenced by improvisation and electro-acoustic experimentation\, the group encourages an open door policy of musicians and artists for collaboration; focusing on the incorporation of sound\, film\, dance\, and visual art to create multi-disciplinary performance pieces. Optimists at heart\, the group follows the ethos that music is a transcendental form of communication with the power to connect performers and listeners to a higher level of consciousness and harmony. \nVictorious Dance Company featuring Ferrin Coleman & Whitney G. McIntosh:\nVictorious Dance Company is a contemporary movement company working to build social awareness\, community engagement and cultural empowerment through the art of dance. Serving as the non-profit arts education program Victory Music & Dance\, Inc.’s senior dance company\, Victorious Dance Co. has had the great opportunity to train\, facilitate workshops and perform for youth in the Brooklyn community for over five years. Through these community engagements Victorious Dance Co. has developed a model that empowers young people to be committed to education\, the arts and making a difference in the community. \nPresented by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership in collaboration with BLDG 92 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard PERFORMANCE:The Glass Eye is part of Black Artstory Month 2016 titled\, SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. The series of FREE performances\, talks\, film screenings\, and public art experiences celebrate the enduring influences and contributions that African Americans have made and are making within the visual and performing arts worlds.
