Join @studiomuseum, @nypl and author @imaniperry this Saturday at the George Bruce branch for #StudioSalon: #LookingforLorraine! ๐ This discussion and interactive workshop is inspired by her book โLooking for Lorraine: The Radiant and Radical Life of Lorraine Hansberry.โ In the book, Perry paints an empathetic portrait of an artist who lived in a community of thinkers working at the intersections of art and activism throughout New York City. In this Studio Salon, Perry will highlight Lorraine Hansberry's community activism and impact on Harlem. This program will be followed by an informal Q&A. ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ This Studio Salon is part of the Museum's ongoing partnership with George Bruce Library and is presented as part of #inHarlem, The Studio Museum in Harlem's initiative designed to explore innovative ways to work in the community while taking the Museum beyond its own walls.

What a treat it was, reviewing, โGordon Parks: The New Tide, 1940-1950โ for @brooklynrail! ๐ Parksโ images transform me, every single time.

โจ๐ฝโจ Join @studiomuseum, @visual_aids and @sugarhillmuseum #TONIGHT for โDay With(out) Art 2018 | Alternate Endings, Activist Risings!โ โ๐ฟโ๐พโ๐ฝ Location: 6:30pmโ8:30pm at Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling, 898 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, NY 10032 ๐ This film highlights the impact of art in AIDS activism and advocacy today by commissioning compelling short videos from six inspiring community organizations and collectives: ACT UP NY, Positive Women's Network, Sero Project, The SPOT, Tacoma Action Collective, and VOCAL NY. ๐๐พ The participating organizations represent a wide range of operational strategies, from direct action and grassroots service providers to nation-wide movement building. ๐ฏ Following the screening, grassroots organizers Cedric Sturdevant (The SPOT), Michelle Lopez (Just KIDS), and visual artist Frederick Weston (Visual AIDS) will join for a discussion moderated by Lauren Kelley, Director and Chief Curator of the Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art and Storytelling. Panelists will discuss the role of family and community in creative responses to AIDS in New York City and the American South. ๐ญ This program seeks to reflect the persisting urgencies of today's HIV/AIDS epidemic by pointing to pressing political concerns. In their commissioned videos, organizations address intersecting issues including anti-Black violence, HIV criminalization, homelessness, and the disproportionate effects of HIV on marginalized communities. Amid growing interest in the histories of AIDS activism, Alternate Endings, Activist Risings foregrounds contemporary engagements between activists, artists, and cultural workers on the front lines. #StudioScreen #DayWithoutArt #inHarlen (at Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq93rP8lDLM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1riaaveq90dev

๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ช๐ซ๐ฏ๐ฌ #FlashbackFriday to these whirlwind past 10 days! ๐ฆ It was an honor to engage students and colleagues at @prattinstitute in reflecting on how risk, intuition, and community have shaped my personal and professional development. ๐ (@prattfuse @yoessie @chermosa) And to later share my thoughts on โRethinking Museum Citizenship,โ and the future of museums as part of @museumnextpics and @caribmuse ๐ญ The very best parts of public speaking are: conquering your own fears and pride to open your ideas up to critique and growth; loosening your grip on all you think you know, and being transformed by new ways of thinking and working; taking pause to reflect on the ๐ฅ that drives you, and strategies for keeping that flame alive and spreading it like wildfire; and doing so in the company of such fiercely dedicated colleagues and friends. ๐๐พ Thanks to all who showed up to support, participate, share, challenge, and connectโletโs continue to hold each other up and drive this work forward, in community. ๐ @malikdlewis @niwameka @chayannemarcano @mangledsyntax @arianacurtis413 @michelleinthemix (at University Of The West Indies Cave Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9d4POFHsE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w6uv2h4tg4l4
