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.

He grew up in Poland\, near the Baltic sea\,  where farm-to-table was the way of life. Peter was influenced by his godmother\, the head chef of the iconic restaurant Maxim and by his grandfather\, a lifelong fish monger.\nHe came to the U.S. to hone his skills in fine dining\, pastry and event design. Under the training of top Michelin-starred chefs\, Peter developed his own style of sweet and savory delicacies. He developed his skills in visual merchandising and presented artistic edibles for discriminating taste-buds. \nAs a native New Yorker\, Tie Mei developed a sophisticated palate at a very young age. \nSince she trained with some of the top chefs in the city\, Tie Mei can be found testing and perfecting recipes with a high level of scrutiny.
