SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Sandra Jackson-Opoku Black Rice: A Sino-Black Diaspora Presentation & Reading
DESCRIPTION:Sinologist\, Keisha Brown originated the term “Sino-Black relations” to describe historical connections between China and people of African descent. This presentation will explore some of the global contact zones and cultural experiences where China and Africa have intersected. This slide presentation will be followed by a reading from the novel-in-progress\, Black Rice and a brief Q&A session. \nThis event is for Ossiing High School Black Culture Club & Human Rights Club \nResidency Plan:\nBLACK RICE is a historical novel exploring centuries-old connections between China and people of African descent. In this family saga sprawling across five novella-length chapters\, a chorus of voices speak in the dramatic\, interior\, and epistolary monologue as the narrators tell their life stories aloud\, in thought\, or in writing. These encounters begin with an East African woman sold into concubinage in Ming Dynasty Guangzhou. A Cantonese descendant is later transported to Cuba in the 19th-century “coolie” trade to the Americas\, where he meets and marries an African-American woman. Additional generations flow from this descent: a boxer\, a blues singer\, and a descendant teaching in modern China. I will use a Bethany Arts residency to incorporate research findings and polish final revisions to prepare Black Rice for submission. \nBio:\nSandra Jackson-Opoku is the author of the award-winning novel\, The River Where Blood is Born and Hot Johnny (and the Women Whom Loved Him)\, an Essence Magazine Bestseller in Hardcover Fiction. She also co-edited the anthology\, Revise the Psalm: Work Celebrating the Writing of Gwendolyn Brooks. Her fiction\, nonfiction\, poetry\, and dramatic works are widely published and produced\, appearing in such outlets as Secrets\, An Oddsized Coffin\, eMerge Magazine\, Both Sides: Stories from the Border\, the Anthology of Appalachian Heritage\, storySouth\, Another Chicago Magazine\, New Daughters of Africa\, Ms. Magazine\, Ocotillo Review\, Obsidian\, the Chicago Humanities Festival\, Lifeline Theatre\, and many others. \nProfessional recognition includes a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, the General Electric-Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines Award for Younger Writers\, an American Library Association Black Caucus Award for Fiction\, Ragdale Foundation US/Africa Writers Fellowship\, a William Randolph Hearst Research Visiting Fellowship at the American Antiquarian Society\, a listing in Newcity Lit50: Who Really Books in Chicago\, and an inaugural Esteemed Literary Artist Award from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize in Fiction. \nJackson-Opoku has been a resident fellow at many national and international arts communities. She teaches literature and writing at workshops\, conferences\, colleges\, and universities across the country and around the world. \n Image: © Zeng Xianfang from the Little North Road project by Daniel Traub. \n\n\n\n\n\nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Admiral Grey\, Dream Illustration Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us Saturday\, September 17th 4-5PM as Artist in Residence Admiral Grey leads this workshop.  Dream Illustration helps people to hone in on creative elements in dreams to find a way to create performative art. We will discuss simple dreams we have had\, and hone in on 3-5 key elements in that dream that we will illustrate to tell the story. Using simple repurposed objects and art supplies\, each student will create the illustrative elements to their dream\, then narrate and perform the dream in front of the class.   \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nI plan to continue my development of The Human Dream Project\, my multimedia project recording and archiving people describing dreams they have had\, and illustrating them using live puppetry\, video art\, and music. While at BAC\, I will be making new video works using dreams I am collecting with my Human Dream Project Dream Hotline\, and further developing the stage show to include new dreams\, sets puppets\, and music. \nBio:\nAdmiral Grey is an artist creating live performance and video art populated with the colorful art objects and costumes she makes from repurposed materials and other post-modern detritus. Her maximalist aesthetic adorns intimate pageantry\, weaving through the tragicomedy of existence.\nA committed multidisciplinary artist and writer from a young age\, she performed as a trumpet player\, singer and actor with regional orchestras\, theaters and competitions before studying acting with Circle Repertory Theater as part of the NYSSSA program before college. After attending the acting conservatory at Boston University’s School Of Fine Arts for a year (with a course on Nietzsche thrown in)\, she transferred to Goddard College for a broader education where she furthered her studies in philosophy\, writing\, sculpture\, film\, and video in addition to music and theater.\nAfter moving to New York and finding internships with experimental theater companies cost-prohibitive\, she was a founding member of the art-punk band Drayton Sawyer Gang\, printed zines\, threw shows and festivals\, and continued making dioramas and costume as she honed her unique aesthetic in the Brooklyn experimental and avant garde scene. Soon after she found her way back into modern theater\, and since then Admiral has created and performed original theatrical works with Robin Frohardt Company\, The Nerve Tank\, The Drunkard’s Wife\, Sister Sylvester\, Psychic Readings\, and her own Snake In The Boot Collective in various roles including: composition/ sound design\, writer\, director\, actor\, dancer\, costume/props design\, and video design\, in New York and internationally. She has also released several albums and toured with various music projects including Cellular Chaos (Skin Graft Records) and The Simple Pleasure\, and toured alongside Lydia Lunch performing spoken word in 2016 and 2017. Her video and performance art has been featured in a variety of exhibitions including a residency with Vidium at Mana Contemporary’s 777 Mall for Miami Art Week in 2019. Her current multimedia project The Human Dream Project archives and illustrates intimate recordings of people describing their dreams with puppetry\, video art and live sound design.\nAdmiral Grey has been a residency participant at NACL\, Mana Contemporary\, BUOY\, Chinatown Soup\, and Kinosaito among others. “The Maiden”\, her collaboration with The Nerve Tank\, was nominated for Outstanding Performance Art Production at the New York Innovative Theater Awards. The Human Dream Project has received funding from Artists’ Relief and Indie Theater Fund. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Instructor\, Julia Swyers
DESCRIPTION:Join us Saturday\, September 17th\, 2022 11AM-2PM and learn to make cyanotype art prints for your home\, or to create greeting cards using plants from your own garden. \nAges: 8 years old and up\nCost: $50  \nREGISTER\nThe fairly simple\, traditional blueprint process is easily accessible for anyone\, including children. No artistic skills are necessary to create one-of-a-kind botanical prints.  This workshop class will cover the photosensitive chemistry\, how to coat your own paper\, and how to expose and develop the prints.  You will leave with your own handmade prints and the skills to make more.  \nChildren 8 years old and up are welcome to work with an adult chaperone.   \nInstructor Bio: \nJulia first learned the cyanotype process while studying photography at the School of Visual Arts.  She started making botanical cyanotypes at home as an activity to do with her young daughter using commercially available coated paper.   In her own art practice\, she began coating her own paper and experimenting with homemade cameras using the cyanotype printing process.  She has taught all types of learners\, from elementary children in schools to adults in workshops.  \nhttps://www.botanicalblue.com/

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: L Feldman M13: Excerpt Sharing and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:L M Feldman will share excerpts and questions from her audacious – and timely – play-in-progress\, THE MERCURY 13 GUIDE TO GETTING OFF THE GROUND. An epic and muscular theatrical shakedown\, THE MERCURY 13 intertwines historical events\, imagined scenes\, fantastical moments\, physical feats\, and text plucked straight from the Congressional archive\, to unearth the story of thirteen female pilots who might have\, if the world had followed a different path\, been among our earliest astronauts. It asks: what does it take (as a woman\, a person of color\, a queer\, a disadvantaged citizen\, a human being) to get off the ground in this country? Even still. Join L as she shares new work and invites questions & answers\, thoughts & curiosities.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan: \nOver the last two years\, I’ve been writing a beast of a play called THE MERCURY 13 GUIDE TO GETTING OFF THE GROUND. It’s about 13 accomplished female pilots who in 1961 were being selected and tested as astronaut candidates… until NASA and the government suddenly squelched the program. And so – in the height of the Space Race\, the Cold War\, and the Civil Rights Movement – a Congressional Hearing was called to determine whether the U.S. should include women as astronauts… which suddenly pitted social progress against technological speed. Congress chose technological speed\, and promised to close the opportunity gap in time. The play braids together historical events\, imagined scenes\, fantastical moments\, physical feats\, and text plucked straight from the Congressional archive – as it follows these 13 female pilots\, who sacrifice nearly everything for an opportunity that seems within their grasp. At BAC\, I’ll finally get to dive into the significant rewrites I want to do on this play\, and to emerge with a comprehensive new draft that’s workshop-ready for actors.  \nBio:\nL M Feldman is a queer\, GNC\, feminist playwright who writes theatrically adventurous\, physically evocative\, intimate\, inquisitive\, ensemble-driven plays. Plays that are dynamic\, honest\, brave\, and the smallest bit impossible. Plays that transcend into an experience.   \nSo far\, her body of work includes THRIVE\, OR WHAT YOU WILL [AN EPIC] ~ THE MERCURY 13 GUIDE TO GETTING OFF THE GROUND ~ ANOTHER KIND OF SILENCE ~ SCRIBE\, OR THE SISTERS MILTON\, OR ELEGY FOR THE UNWRITTEN ~ THE EGG-LAYERS ~ GRACE\, OR THE ART OF CLIMBING ~ A PEOPLE [A MOSAIC PLAY] ~ TROPICAL SECRETS\, OR ALL THE FLUTES IN THE SEA ~ and 7 full-length ensemble-devised works.  \nL has been nominated for the Wendy Wasserstein Prize\, Stavis Playwright Award\, New York Innovative Theatre Award\, Doric Wilson Independent Playwright Award\, and twice for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. And she’s ongoingly grateful to have been a fellow at MacDowell\, the Playwrights Realm\, and the Dramatists Guild\, and a core writer with InterAct Theatre\, Orbiter 3\, and (currently) The Playwrights’ Center.   \nAn alum of the Yale School of Drama and the New England Center for Circus Arts\, L is also a contemporary circus artist. She has performed duo trapeze at festivals around the world\, and has dramaturged works of circus-theater for ensembles around the country. She loves theater that moves\, and circus that tells stories.   \nL has lived in seven cities and is now based in Philadelphia\, where she teaches both playwriting and circus\, writes and devises plays\, and trains handstands.  \nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Artist In Residence: Katarina Hoeger Generated Images of Ossining Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Note location: Joseph G. Caputo Community Center (95 Broadway\, Ossining\, NY 10562) — Music Room  \nKatarina Hoeger will walk participants of this workshop through the process of generating an image that looks almost painted from code. She will discuss creative coding\, pointillism\, the basics of the process\, and some of the steps she takes to manipulate the output of the process with her own images. Participants should bring their own laptop and an image of Ossining that resonates with them. Basic typing skills are necessary for the successful completion of this workshop. Images are created\, any participants who chose to will be given the opportunity to display their work with the rest of the group’s images.  \nREGISTER\nResidency Plan:\nDuring her residency\, Katarina Hoeger will continue exploring the possibilities arising from images reconstructed using pixel data. During this exploration she plans to collect stories and pictures of Ossining and use a sequence of computer-generated images depicting her collection to show her changing understanding of and relation to Ossining over the course of her residency. The technique Katarina uses to reconstitute images is relatively new\, so the end result will provide insight into the value of choosing to use this technique.  \nBio:\nKatarina Hoeger is an intermedial artist whose works often heavily use code. She is currently using her practice to investigate the relations\, physical\, social\, environmental\, and more that are part of existing in a particular body in a specific space. Katarina Hoeger has recently had work exhibited in Lord Hall Gallery in Orono\, Maine. She was an active board member and organizer at Music Community Lab / Monthly Music Hackathon NYC until 2019. Katarina Hoeger anticipates graduating from University of Maine in August 2022 with an MFA in Intermedia. She lives in White Plains\, NY.   \n  \nResidencies and programs at Bethany Arts Community are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Governor’s office and the New York State Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, Arts Westchester\, and numerous individual donors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The work will be officially unveiled as part of the highly anticipated Serious Fun Arts Fest. \nOver the next four months\, ArtsWestchester and our partners around Westchester County will be organizing Public Sewing Days\, during which groups of community volunteers will come together to organize\, pin and sew monochromatic stripes and shapes for the larger fabric installation.

SUMMARY:Show and Tell: A Work in Progress Showing by Francesca Harper
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Bethany Arts Community on July 3 @ 7pm for a Show and Tell: A Francesca Harper Work & Process \nREGISTER\nIn Francesca Harper’s new work in progress\, Harper explores how media and entertainment commodifies and profits off of the erasure and harm of others while catapulting some into celebrity culture. How does our society benefit from brutality as it relates specifically to bodies of color? The work in progress is being produced by THE OFFICE\, with a sonic tapestry created by rock star Nona Hendryx\, daring movement created by Francesca Harper and artists from the FHP Collective. Costumes are created by Elias Gurrola\, dance technology by Allison Costa and The Movement Lab @ Barnard\, with lighting design by Tuce Yasak. They collectively create a choreographic work that explores this intersection of transparency and erasure\, what it is we care to see and what we choose to disregard. The development of this work has also been supported by Works & Process’ LaunchPAD initiative in which they describe\, “Process as a Destination.” Harper is especially grateful to Duke Dang\, Caroline Cronson\, and Abigail Lewis for providing this second residency @ Bethany Arts.  \nArtist Bio:\nFrancesca Harper began her professional dance career with Dance Theater of Harlem\, after having performed at the White House as a young Presidential Scholar in the Arts\, and subsequently was a member of William Forsythe’s Ballett Frankfurt (1991–99)\, becoming a Principal Dancer in 1994.

SUMMARY:WHEN ARTISTS SHOUT: Social and Political Commentary in Western Art - A Lecture by Marcy B. Freedman
DESCRIPTION:Join us Wednesday\, June 8\, 2022 for light refreshments at 6:30pm and Lecture by Marcy B. Freedman at 7pm \nREGISTER\nFor centuries\, art has been used for a multitude of purposes\, often serving the needs of powerful religious and political institutions.  But it has also been used to express the thoughts and feelings of artists who wish to speak out against the injustices that they have witnessed or experienced. \nIn this lecture\, Marcy B. Freedman will focus upon some of the many artists who have addressed their opposition to war\, gender inequality\, and racism.  She will share images dating from antiquity to the 19th century\, in order to set the stage for the revolutionary work of Goya.  From there\, she will proceed into the 20th and 21st centuries\, highlighting the work of artists who are not content to “paint pretty pictures.”  Among the artists to be discussed are Max Beckmann\, Kathe Kollwitz\, Judy Chicago\, Barbara Kruger\, The Guerilla Girls\, David Hammons\, and Kara Walker.  For these brave and talented individuals\, art is a powerful tool\, and they wield it with conviction. \nMarcy B. Freedman is an artist and art historian.  Her academic background includes an undergraduate degree from the University of California\, Berkeley\, a master’s degree from the University of Michigan\, and master’s degree from Princeton University. \nAs an art historian\, Freedman has taught in colleges and universities\, given public lectures\, and curated exhibitions. As an artist\, she has worked with a wide range of mediums\, from painting\, drawing\, and collage to photography\, video\, and performance art.  Her works have been shown in more than 400 exhibitions\, and she has performed extensively in the tri-state area.  For decades\, Freedman explored the realms of abstraction and conceptual art.  However\, since 2016\, she has focused upon social and political issues\, addressing these topics in her solo work and in her collaborations with other artists.

SUMMARY:“An Imperial Message” work-in-progress Presented by New Rising Sun Dance Project
DESCRIPTION:“An Imperial Message” work-in-progress – Presented by New Rising Sun Dance Project (FREE EVENT) \nREGISTER\nThe piece is based on a short story by Franz Kafka\, idea conceived by New Rising Sun Dance Project director Tomiko Magario. This performance employs three actors and a dancer to further develop this multidisciplinary work and will be followed by a Q & A with the artists. This performance is free to the public. \nAn Imperial Message\nIn its final form\, the work will employ actors\, a dancer\, musicians\, a dramaturg\, a choreographer\, and a composer. Conceived by New Rising Sun Dance Project director Tomiko Magario\, the creation of this piece will be approached through various stages of development. The first stage was performed in October 2021 at the Ossining Public Library with Ted Daniel-Jazz Trumpeter/Composer and Tomiko Magario-Dancer/Choreographer. The goal of this first stage was to lay down a sketch of the idea\, employing only two bodies on stage\, and allowing the creators to envision the final larger version of the work. \nCurrently\, Tomiko is working on the second stage of the project: creating dance solos\, and further exploring Kafka’s text through the actor’s workshop. \nAbout New Rising Sun Dance Project\nEmbrace the past and create the future\, New Rising Sun Dance Project presents its work through performances and workshops to audiences and the dance community. Our focus lies in educating on our dance heritage and the creation of new works. In 2022\, NRSDP will continue to focus on multi-discipline live arts performances. NRSDP’s past presentations include a Luigi Jazz Workshop and a lecture/demonstration entitled Dance in American History-George Washington to cold war\, Women who changed the course of dance in 18th century. \nMore about New Rising Sun Dance Project \nNew Rising Sun Dance Project is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas\, a non-profit arts service organization.

May 28\, June 4\, 11\, 18\, 25\, 10am-3pm \nOpening Reception:  Friday May 20\, 6:00pm – 8:00pm\nLecture: Wednesday June 8\, 6:30pm-8:00pm (WHEN ARTISTS SHOUT: Social and Political Commentary in Western Art A Lecture by Marcy B. Freedman) Learn more and Register \nIMPACT 2022: Art that Bears Witness presents the work of a diverse group of artists working in a wide variety of media that use art to denounce and challenge racism and discrimination by gender\, class and immigration status\, and to raise awareness of reproductive rights\, public health and access\, and environmental issues. \nThrough the ages\, artists have used their creativity to call to action\, protest\, support\, attest\, and provoke lasting and meaningful change. Ranging from abstraction to more figurative work\, from personal to more universal\, from literal to more poetic\, the artwork in this exhibition invite and engage us to be aware of inequities and systemic institutionalized practices that are racist and oppressive\, and that can be abolished. \nParticipating artists in this exhibition include John Ahearn\, Lizzy Alejandro\, Laura Alvarez\, Dotty Attie\, Shahaan Azeem\, Aileen Bassis\, Edward Bear Miller\, Stacy Bogdonoff\, Michele Brody\, Suzanne Broughel\, Aleathia Brown\, Serge Bulat\, Maryanne Buschini\, Kevin Byrd\, Brett De Palma\, Nicky Enright\, Patricia Espinosa\, Jennifer Figueroa\, Coleen Fitzgibbon\, Angela Fremont\, Susan Grabel\, Alyssa Herrera\, Susan Hoeltzel\, Monique Islam-Salas\, Kyung Jeon\, Carla Rae Johnson\, David Kalal\, Anne LaFond\, Elaine Luther\, Katrina Majkut\, Cecilia Mandrile & Lynn Bechtold\, Tali Margolin\, Mary McFerran\, Fani Miller-Beard\, Marilyn Miller\, Traci Mims\, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez\, Tomo Mori\, Taeesha Muhammad\, Linda Negrin\, James Offenhartz\, Tom Otterness\, Kristi Pfister\, Carol Reed\, Nelson Santiago\, Ilse Schreiber-Noll\, Nia Simone\, Arle Sklar-Weinstein\, Jean-Marc Superville Sovak\, Lynn Tomlinson\, Keil Troisi\, Karen Viola\, Tammy Wofsey\, Marcia G. Yerman \nThe artists’ books\, collage\, drawing\, painting\, photography\, printmaking\, sculpture\, and video in this exhibition boldly\, directly\, meditatively\, and at times with humor\, ask us to participate and take on these timely conversations that are rapidly evolving in the midst of a Pandemic\, global warming\, displacement due to wars and violence\, and polarized ideologies. \n– Juanita Lanzo\, Curator\, IMPACT 2022: Art that Bears Witness \nWe began planning for this exhibition almost a year ago with a series of conversations with a small group of artists and individuals who care deeply about the challenges of our time\, and about making the communities we live in better\, more empathetic places. At that time\, the pandemic\, racism – more specifically the Black Lives Matter movement – and criminal justice were the issues consuming media attention. Today\, the war in Ukraine and the devastating loss of life weigh heavily. While the artists’ work in this show was submitted and selected before war broke out\, it is hard not to believe that artists will once again play a vital role to bear witness to the horrors playing out in Ukraine and move people to take some small action to document and address the tragedy that is unfolding. They are our clarion callers. \n Thank you to Kevin Byrd\, Bonnie Bradley\, Marilyn Miller\, Rochelle Udell\, and Henry Welt for their commitment\, passion\, and expertise in shaping this exhibition. Without their belief in Bethany and their many hours of help\, this exhibition would not be possible. Finally\, we are deeply grateful for Juanita Lanzo’s care and expertise in curating this exhibit. \n – Abigail Lewis\, Executive Director\, Bethany Arts Community \nJuanita Lanzo is a visual artist\, art director\, educator and independent curator working in the Bronx and living in East Harlem.

Freedman) Learn more and Register \nIMPACT 2022: Art that Bears Witness presents the work of a diverse group of artists working in a wide variety of media that use art to denounce and challenge racism and discrimination by gender\, class and immigration status\, and to raise awareness of reproductive rights\, public health and access\, and environmental issues. \nThrough the ages\, artists have used their creativity to call to action\, protest\, support\, attest\, and provoke lasting and meaningful change. Ranging from abstraction to more figurative work\, from personal to more universal\, from literal to more poetic\, the artwork in this exhibition invite and engage us to be aware of inequities and systemic institutionalized practices that are racist and oppressive\, and that can be abolished. \nParticipating artists in this exhibition include John Ahearn\, Lizzy Alejandro\, Laura Alvarez\, Dotty Attie\, Shahaan Azeem\, Aileen Bassis\, Edward Bear Miller\, Stacy Bogdonoff\, Michele Brody\, Suzanne Broughel\, Aleathia Brown\, Serge Bulat\, Maryanne Buschini\, Kevin Byrd\, Brett De Palma\, Nicky Enright\, Patricia Espinosa\, Jennifer Figueroa\, Coleen Fitzgibbon\, Angela Fremont\, Susan Grabel\, Alyssa Herrera\, Susan Hoeltzel\, Monique Islam-Salas\, Kyung Jeon\, Carla Rae Johnson\, David Kalal\, Anne LaFond\, Elaine Luther\, Katrina Majkut\, Cecilia Mandrile & Lynn Bechtold\, Tali Margolin\, Mary McFerran\, Fani Miller-Beard\, Marilyn Miller\, Traci Mims\, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez\, Tomo Mori\, Taeesha Muhammad\, Linda Negrin\, James Offenhartz\, Tom Otterness\, Kristi Pfister\, Carol Reed\, Nelson Santiago\, Ilse Schreiber-Noll\, Nia Simone\, Arle Sklar-Weinstein\, Jean-Marc Superville Sovak\, Lynn Tomlinson\, Keil Troisi\, Karen Viola\, Tammy Wofsey\, Marcia G. Yerman. \nThe artists’ books\, collage\, drawing\, painting\, photography\, printmaking\, sculpture\, and video in this exhibition boldly\, directly\, meditatively\, and at times with humor\, ask us to participate and take on these timely conversations that are rapidly evolving in the midst of a Pandemic\, global warming\, displacement due to wars and violence\, and polarized ideologies. \n– Juanita Lanzo\, Curator\, IMPACT 2022: Art that Bears Witness \nWe began planning for this exhibition almost a year ago with a series of conversations with a small group of artists and individuals who care deeply about the challenges of our time\, and about making the communities we live in better\, more empathetic places. At that time\, the pandemic\, racism – more specifically the Black Lives Matter movement – and criminal justice were the issues consuming media attention. Today\, the war in Ukraine and the devastating loss of life weigh heavily. While the artists’ work in this show was submitted and selected before war broke out\, it is hard not to believe that artists will once again play a vital role to bear witness to the horrors playing out in Ukraine and move people to take some small action to document and address the tragedy that is unfolding. They are our clarion callers. \n Thank you to Kevin Byrd\, Bonnie Bradley\, Marilyn Miller\, Rochelle Udell\, and Henry Welt for their commitment\, passion\, and expertise in shaping this exhibition. Without their belief in Bethany and their many hours of help\, this exhibition would not be possible. Finally\, we are deeply grateful for Juanita Lanzo’s care and expertise in curating this exhibit. \n – Abigail Lewis\, Executive Director\, Bethany Arts Community \nJuanita Lanzo is a visual artist\, art director\, educator and independent curator working in the Bronx and living in East Harlem.
