SUMMARY:Brenda McManus and Ned Drew: L is for Labor of Love
DESCRIPTION:Two designers share their insights on letterpress collecting and creating \n\n\nJoin Brenda and Ned as they reveal the long process of collecting\, designing\, and printing that resulted in a beautiful\, limited-edition letterpress book\, a true labor of love. \n\n  \nRSVP Here | https://bit.ly/2AqdSQ1 \nAfter their son was born in 2013\, Ned and Brenda began to conceive of a meaningful purpose for the collection of type\, woodblocks\, and line-engraved images that they have been amassing for 20+ years. They decided to create a learning tool\, a unique letterpress book of ABCs that took five years to make. The project combines many facets of their lives: family\, teaching\, letterpress printing\, design\, and collecting. \n\nThe project was born out of their shared passion for design\, a focus on typography\, an engagement with design history\, and an infatuation with letterpress artifacts. Ned and Brenda strongly believe in the preservation of a living history of letterpress\, as there is no greater tool for teaching future generations of typographers about the craft and the value of hands-on work. \nThey also believe that it is essential to intentionally make space for those projects that are labors of love\, projects that integrate play and discovery into the creative process\, on personal terms. The freedom of those experiments is essential for creative growth. \n \n  \nRegistration for this special event is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Murals: A Socially Engaged Process
DESCRIPTION:During this conversation Newark based artist Layqa Nuna Yawar will discuss how he sees murals as a socially engaged process as well as the inspiration for his mural series The Robeson Paean\, a series commemorating the life and legacy of artist-activist Paul Robeson.\n \nRSVP required. Zoom details will be sent via email 24 hours before the program. \nRSVP here | https://bit.ly/3ceMFO4 \nLayqa Nuna Yawar was born in Cuenca\, Ecuador and lives in Newark\, New Jersey. Working in the space between migrant alienation and belonging\, he makes work on paper\, canvas and sculpture as well as large–scale murals that are the result of a socially engaged process; all of which aims to amplify the silenced narratives of people of color and migrant communities across the world. His work examines the power that public and representational art have in challenging injustice\, racism and xenophobia. This form of collective artmaking is part of a liberation struggle that helps celebrate and publicly reclaim diasporic narratives as well as imagine a better and brighter future. Layqa received a B.F.A. from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and his art can be found on walls\, museums and galleries across the world. He has curated and produced mural projects with various city administrations\, art programs and private organizations in the USA and abroad.

SUMMARY:Prg Artist In Residence Khari Johnson-Ricks In Conversation With Dj Tah
DESCRIPTION:During this conversation/listening session PRG’s 5th Artist in Residence\, visual artist and DJ Khari Johnson-Ricks  will speak with New Jersey based DJ TAH. Throughout the duration of his residency\, Khari will use his studio as a living archive to preserve the history of Jersey club and Jersey club dancing; a local vernacular tradition that is 20 years old and has been a creative framework for many young Black musician and artists. Over the years\, venues that were the hubs for Jersey club culture in Newark have been shuttered and Khari’s hope is to revitalize and honor this creative subculture by inviting a host of jersey club producers\, dancers\, and community members to the studio to map the progression of dances over time and talk to people about their experience with the art form. By collecting their stories\, he would preserve the trajectory of the subculture and its correlation to Newark’s shifting arts landscape\, connecting this local tradition to a lineage of Black radical art movements such as Hip-Hop and House Music.\nRSVP required. Zoom details will be sent via email 24 hours before the program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKhari Johnson-Ricks is an artist and DJ whose work spans a range of audiovisual media and often exist in the public eye. This includes the production of zines\, works on paper\, performances\, murals\, and nightlife spaces. Through these media he explores the ways that vernacular ritual practice becomes tradition and how the body carries history through movement. By editing\, rediscovering\, juxtaposing the movement traditions of Shotokan Karate\, Jersey Club\, weightlifting and various other sports he highlights the social importance of movement as a non-verbal communication method as well as a community building and mental health tool. Khari holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Montclair State University (2016) and a Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College\, City University of New York (2019). \nTAH is a 26 year old DJ\, producer\, sound designer and engineer who has released records on Like That Records\, Thread\, and Knightwerk Records. Some notable groups he has worked with are the Black owned Halfmoon BK Radio\, Boiler Room\, and MoMA PS1.

SUMMARY:Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, is a conversation between Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood\, author and curator of MoMA PS1’s exhibition Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, and formerly incarcerated artist\, Ojore Lutalo. During this discussion\, Ojore will discuss his experience making art in solitary confinement\, working with Dr. Nicole on the exhibition and the work he does with American Friends of Service Committee. \nThis program is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Voices from Outside: Critical Resistance on view at the CJ Gallery\, located on the 5th floor of Rutgers University – Newark’s Criminal Justice Building. \nRSVP here! \nhttp://bit.ly/2PslaqX \nDr. Nicole R. Fleetwood is Professor of American Studies and Art History at Rutgers University- New Brunswick. She is a writer\, curator\, and art critic whose interests are contemporary black diasporic art and visual culture\, photography studies\, art and public practice\, performance studies\, gender and feminist studies\, black cultural history\, creative nonfiction\, prison abolition and carceral studies\, and poverty studies. She is the author of three books: Marking Time: Art in the Era of Mass Incarceration (Harvard University Press\, 2020)\, On Racial Icons: Blackness and the Public Imagination (Rutgers University Press\, 2015)\, and Troubling Vision: Performance\, Visuality\, and Blackness\, which was the recipient of the 2012 Lora Romero First Book Publication Prize of the American Studies Association. Her articles appear in African American Review\, American Quarterly\, Aperture\, Callaloo: Art and Culture in the African Diaspora\, The Conversation\, LitHub\, Public Books\, Public Culture\, Signs\, Social Text\, art catalogues\, and edited anthologies. Fleetwood received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in the Program in Modern Thought and Literature and her B.Phil. from the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Miami University (Ohio). Her upcoming exhibition\, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration\, will be on view at MoMA PS1 from April 5\, 2020 – August 23\, 2020. \nThe artist Ojore Lutalo was released from Trenton State Penitentiary August 26th\, 2009 by way of a court order. He maxed out after 28 years\, 22 of which were spent in the Management Control Unit (Solitary Confinement). In order to keep his sanity during his internment\, Ojore abided by a strict regiment of physical exercise\, mediation and study. Over the years Ojore was asked repeatedly to describe the conditions that he faced on a daily basis. These requests ranged from simple curiosity as to the physical particulars of his cell and surroundings to the profound emotional pressures and struggles associated with long term solitary confinement. Ojore began creating his political propaganda both as a way to maintain his sanity and to more adequately convey to his friends the physical and emotional reality he experienced within solitary confinement. For the last 22 years of his confinement Ojore created a wide range of art pieces offering his unique perspective. Since his release is 2008\, Ojore dedicates himself to assisting the American Friends Service Committee in its attempt to expose the true nature and extent of long term isolation\, its effect both on the prisoner individually as well as society at large. This outreach often involves speaking engagements in which he uses artwork to re-enforce his text\, finding visuals often communicate more effectively than a purely oral presentation.
