SUMMARY:Artist Salon: Sultana Harris and Gary L. White
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 4 at 6:30pm with Self as Universe Residents and Sultana Harris and Gary White as they discuss their work and their Self as Universe Residency projects. \nDinner and refreshments will be served. You can RSVP here! \nSultana Harris is a social practice artist and the Interim Executive Director of The Descendants Project’s Woodland Plantation Museum. Sultana has worked with organizations such as Holistic Resistance\, Grief to Action\, Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine\, Xavier University of New Orleans’ Department of Psychology\, the Gulf Coast Fellowship for Community Transformation\, and the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs. She serves as board Vice-President of the Seattle-based nonprofit Color of Sound\, which supports artists of color filmmakers creating film projects with an emphasis on social and environmental justice. Sultana stands in solidarity with the land\, its travelers\, and all earth-others. Her focus during her residency is the somatics phase of an ethnographic art project nuancing the effects of land discrimination and the erasure of home and community while also exploring the tensions and negotiated intimacies that accompany it. \nGary L. White\, a Native of Nashville\, received his Bachelors of Fine Arts at Watkins College of Art and Design in 2011. He obtained a Masters Degree in Ceramics from University Tennessee Knoxville. Since then\, his works have been included in solo shows and group exhibitions throughout the country. White conducts a cross-cultural visual investigation\, which explores folkways\, identity\, and the experiences of the “Southern Other.” White currently teaches Ceramics at Belmont University in Nashville\, Tennessee\, and maintains his studio practice. His project will utilize clay from both the Mississippi River to create a series of ceramic pots. The pieces will be built on site and fired in the traditional method of pitfiring\, which has ties not only to his home region\, but also to southern Louisiana. The ceramic pieces will be effigies of local animals\, incised with imagery of flora and fauna of the woods. Through this process old stories of the land will emerge\, as place holds memory\, and the clay holds place.

SUMMARY:Artist Performance: Testimony: from the Mother River & Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:Spring will be in full bloom as A Studio in the Woods hosts a Performance and Open Studio by two Self As Universe Residents: interdisciplinary artist and dancer Rochelle Jamila and traditional clay artist Gary L. White\, respectively.  \nJamila will perform Testimony: from the Mother River on the levee of the Mississippi River\, accompanied by Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes. White will then open his studio doors for attendees to learn about traditional clay harvesting\, processing\, shaping\, and burn techniques.  \nThe event will begin at 3pm. Snacks will be provided. \nIn Testimony: from the Mother\, River Rochelle draws from the blues\, hoodoo\, folktales\, and her family’s history in the Mississippi River’s delta to process climate grief and treat the blues as oracle. Rochelle blends experimental movement\, sound\, and animist prayer to channel the wisdom of a land where culture emerged alongside river flooding. Offered from atop a New Orleans’ levee on the Mother River of the North American continent\, Testimony: from the Mother River invites us to consider the patriarchal hubris of restricting the flow of the Mississippi River and the ecological and spiritual implications of levee creation and destruction. Toni Morrison posits\, “water has perfect memory… they straightened out the Mississippi River in places\, to make room for houses and livable acreage. Occasionally\, the river floods these places. ‘Floods’ is the word they use\, but in fact it is not flooding: it is remembering.” Accompanied by New Orleans musician Bruce Sunpie Barnes\, Rochelle’s performance invites us to contemplate flooding as remembering\, reclamation\, and (re)evolution with water and land. \nRSVP here!
