SUMMARY:Node Mulch
DESCRIPTION:Node Mulch is a free\, public exhibition of new work from London-based artist John Walter created during his tenure as inaugural QBI artist-in-residence. For this work\, Walter partnered with QBI scientist Antoine Forget\, and the exhibition is curated by Glen Helfand\, critic and chair of Graduate Curatorial Practice at California College of the Arts. Node Mulch will be open from July 26-30 at the SOMArts Cultural Center. The exhibition consists of multiple events\, so make sure to check out the full agenda on Eventbrite and register for the times/events you want to attend. \nWalter\, whose previous work has addressed HIV in sexual health and bioscience\, eschews existing notions of “Sci-Art”\, weaving scientific narratives\, imagery and ideas together within a broader cultural milieu. Starting in the fall of 2022\, he worked alongside scientists at UCSF undertaking research into viruses\, cancers and the interactions between small molecules. This is an exciting new initiative that brings together the Bay Area’s scientific and art communities. The gallery presentation\, at SOMArts Cultural Center\, showcases the vast and vibrant range of his playfully incisive work. His new body of work comprises painting\, drawing\, artist’s books\, sculpture\, costume\, and video. \nThe title Node Mulch refers on one hand to the nodes in network diagrams created by QBI scientists\, and on another hand to Walter’s analogy that art-making is analogous to farming\, involving the breeding and decomposition of images (mulching). Walter’s art mulches a diversity of artistic references from Hieronymus Bosch to Keith Haring. The work created during the residency draws inspiration from alchemical emblems – allegorical images that illustrate early science. \nSpecial Events\nPlease make sure to select tickets for the special event time slots to attend \nWalkthrough and Discussion with the Artist\nJuly 26\, 5-6:30 PM\n \nExperience Node Mulch as the artist John Walter leads you on a tour of the exhibit and through his vision. \nPublic Reception\nJuly 27\, 5-8 PM\n \nJoin us for a reception and learn more about the inspiration behind Node Mulch. \nRSVP today!This exhibition is produced through SOMArts’ Event Rental Program. Every year\, SOMArts’ Event Rental Program provides below-market rentals to over 100 events.\n \nTo learn more about hosting your next exhibition\, program\, or event at SOMArts\, please visit: https://somarts.org/eventrentals/

I’m grateful to call this my home and honored to be in a community with some of the most incredible people. I was raised in a family separated across continents\, so photographs have served as a critical piece of emotional connection despite the distance between us all. It is what inspired me to pick up a camera early in life\, creating and documenting images of and for my loved ones and community — as a way to find our way back to each other.”

SUMMARY:Reclaiming Our Image through Muralism and Photograpahy
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, February 9\, 6–9 PM\, join Palestinian artists Lara Aburamadan\, Chris Gazaleh\, and Roula Seikaly for a free\, all ages film screening\, conversation\, and artwork presentation. \nReclaiming Our Image through Muralism and Photography is presented by SOMArts in collaboration with Bay Area Palestinian artists. This program is intended to affirm the role of the arts in collective liberation. \nReel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People (Sut Jhally\, 2006) serves as a starting point to understand how mainstream media stereotypes Arabs\, normalizes racial prejudice\, and influences domestic and international policy. Lara Aburamadan’s Remains a Memory (2024)\, combines video clips of Palestinian expression\, creativity\, play\, and rest amidst the Israeli occupation. \nArtists \nLara Aburamadan \nChris Gazaleh\nRoula Seikaly \nLara\, Chris\, and Roula discuss the power of imagery and the ways their creative practices are rooted in humanizing Palestinian people. How do we tell our own stories? How do we tell people who we are? \nRSVP Today!SOMArts was established in 1979 as an outgrowth of the Third World Liberation Front. TWLF was an activist group and movement formed by students advocating for campus reform at SFSU and UC\, Berkeley. Their goals included addressing issues of racial injustice\, promoting ethnic studies programs\, and advocating for the rights and representation of marginalized groups\, including Black\, Latinx\, Filipinx\, and Asian American students. \nFor 40+ years SOMArts has centered and amplified the voices of historically marginalized creatives\, and fiercely defended the rights of artists of all disciplines. Continuing this legacy\, Reclaiming Our Image through Muralism and Photography holds a space for us to gather in solidarity in the call for a free Palestine.

SUMMARY:Dancing the Afrofuture Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Dancing the Afrofuture: Hula\, Hip-Hop\, and the Duhman Legacy. Published with the University Press of Florida\, the book is forthcoming in February 2024 and will be available for purchase at the event.  \nThe launch features a book reading by Dr. Osumare and performances by PUSH dance company.  \nDancing the Afrofuture: Hula\, Hip-Hop\, and the Dunham Legacy is the sequel to Dancing in Blackness\, A Memoir (2018). It chronicles the next stage in Halifu Osumare’s life and career from dancer-activist to scholar-academic\, beginning with her leaving dance and community activism in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area in early 1994 and transitioning to Hawai‘i where she earned a doctorate in American Studies from the University of Hawai‘i. In the process\, she follows her mentor Katherine Dunham’s model by studying and performing hula\, while researching the effects of hip-hop culture on\nHawaiian youth. This unlikely story by a unique dancer-academic leads to Osumare becoming a recognized scholar in the burgeoning field of global Hip-Hop Studies. \nOsumare’s scholarly career takes her to several continents—back to Africa and Europe\, and eventually to South America\, as she develops her theory of “connective marginality” explaining the internationalization of hip-hop youth culture. As Osumare climbs the academic ladder\, eventually becoming a Full Professor at the University of California\, Davis\, she illuminates the resilience of African descendant peoples through performance and the trending lens of Afrofuturism. Readers will be fascinated by Osumare’s career that “dances” across several fields\, from Black dance to global pop culture\, while ruminating on how the Black past reveals itself in the Afro-Present that is transforming\ninto the Afrofuture. \nAbout the Author \nDr. Halifu Osumare is Professor Emerita in the Department of African American and African Studies (AAS) at University of California\, Davis\, and was the Director of AAS 2011-2014. She has been a dancer\, choreographer\, arts administrator\, and scholar of black popular culture for over forty years. With a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa\, and an MA in Dance Ethnology from S.F. State University\, she is also a protégé of the late renowned dancer-anthropologist Katherine Dunham and a Certified Instructor of Dunham Dance Technique. \nAs an artist-scholar\, Dr. Osumare has performed\, taught\, and conducted research not only in the U.S.\, but also in the African countries of Ghana\, Nigeria\, Malawi\, and Kenya\, and recently in Brazil. Her dancing\, teaching and writing spans the traditional African to the contemporary African American. She has been recognized as one of the foremost scholars of global hip-hop\, publishing The Africanist Aesthetic in Global Hip-Hop: Power Moves in 2007 and\, and The Hiplife in Ghana: West African Indigenization of Hip-Hop in 2012\, resulting from her 2008 Fulbright Fellowship at the University of Ghana\, Legon. She has published numerous journal articles and book chapters on hip-hop\, dance\, black choreographers\, and Katherine Dunham. \nDr. Osumare published her autobiography Dancing in Blackness\, A Memoir in 2018 that won the 2019 Selma Jeanne Cohen Prize in Dance Aesthetics and the American Book Award Dr. Osumare also won the Dance Studies Association 2020 Distinction in Dance Award for lifetime achievement in performance\, scholarship and service to dance. Forthcoming in February 2024 is her sequel memoir\, Dancing the Afrofuture: Hula\, Hip-Hop\, and the Dunham Legacy. \nAs a dancer in the 1970s\, she was a soloist with the Rod Rodgers Dance of New York City\, and is noted particularly as a Choreographer/Director of theater works by poet and playwright Ntozake Shange. After working with Ms. Shange in her pre-For Colored Girls Who’ve Considered Suicide When the Rainbow\nis Enuf tenure in the Bay Area\, she later directed Shange’s For Colored Girls\, and choreographed her From Okra to Greens—A Different Kinda Love Story\, Spell # 7\, and Boogie Woogie Landscape for university theater departments and community theater groups. She has also choreographed for San\nFrancisco’s American Conservative Theater\, including Miss Ever’s Boys in 1988\, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone in 1989\, and Pecong in 1993 for which she won the Bay Area Drama Critics Circle Award for choreography. \nAs an arts administrator\, Dr. Osumare founded Everybody’s Creative Arts Center in Oakland in 1977\, and over the next ten years saw its transition into CitiCentre Dance Theatre (CDT)\, becoming one of the anchor tenets in Oakland’s Alice Arts Center\, now the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts. She not only became a member of CDT professional dance company\, but also helped establish California’s multicultural arts movement. She has been a panelist for the California Arts Council\, National Endowment for the Arts\, The Pew Center for the Arts\, and Haas Creative Fund. Between 1989-1995 she was the Founder and Executive Producer of her national dance initiative Black Choreographers Moving Toward the 21st Century. \nSince retiring in 2016 from UC Davis\, Dr. Osumare has returned to dance theater\, choreographing the acclaimed work\, “In The Eye of the Storm.” Subsequently\, Sacramento State University dancers came together to realize her vision of the current 21st-century social\, political\, and spiritual crisis\, evidenced in the new civil rights movement “Black Lives Matter\,” producing her 2019 choreography “Resistance/Resilience.” Like her mentor Katherine Dunham\, she has dedicated her life to the intersections of the arts and humanities for a better world. \nTo purchase Dr. Osumare’s book\, click here \nAbout PUSH Dance Company\nDescribed as “emotional and kinetic” (San Francisco Bay Guardian)\, PUSH Dance Company performs vibrant contemporary dances\, providing audiences an opportunity to examine issues of identity and intersecting cultures that surround and affect us all.
