SUMMARY:AZ H20 + Art (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Burton Barr Central Library \nSecond Floor\, College Depot Auditorium \nAZ H20 + Art with Jim Ballinger \nHoover Dam is an iconic marvel of American engineering.  Created to manage the floodwaters of the Colorado River\, the dam continues to affect Arizonans’ lives daily.  But the Hoover dam is rarely thought of as a significant work of art.  Since artists first visited our region\, water has been a subject for their work\, ranging from rivers and lakes to dams\, agriculture and recreation.  This program will explore works of art created over the past 150 years\, and invite participants to discuss the various ways water is systemic to life in the Arizona deserts\, mountains and the Colorado Plateau. \nJim Ballinger is uniquely qualified to lead the conversation\, having served as the director of the Phoenix Art Museum for 33 years. During his tenure\, the Phoenix Art Museum presented nearly 500 exhibits\, 50 of which Ballinger personally organized. Ballinger has a keen interest in the intersection of art and water\, and is a nationally respected arts advocate. \n

SUMMARY:Even Words Not Spoken Break Silence: Writing to Reclaim\, Heal & Transform - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Even Words Not Spoken Break Silence: Writing to Reclaim\, Heal & Transform \n4:00 p.m. Workshop \n5:30 p.m. Performance\nCopper Queen Library\n6 Main St\, Bisbee\, AZ 85603\n\nThe month of April shares a powerful duality\, recognized as National Poetry Month\, April is also a time to raise awareness around sexual assault and violence. It is fitting that the month used to honor artistic expression of word also shares space with the work to raise and uplift voices of survivors. Join spoken word artist\, Leilani Clark\, as she shares her journey using writing as a method to heal from trauma\, validate her truth and break through silence. Strategies will be explored to transition written word to spoken word and build confidence in stage performance and personal story telling. \nLeilani Clark is a native-born Tucsonan of Native (Diné/Santa Clara) and African American heritage. She is a community organizer and activist who has been involved in the Immigrant Rights Movement and fight to preserve cultural education in public AZ schools before\, during and after the 2010 signing of anti-Migrant bill\, SB 1070\, and anti-Ethnic Studies bill\, HB 2281. Leilani’s political analysis further broadened around gender equality after surviving sexual assault and an oppressive rape culture of silence and victim-blaming. In 2013 Leilani began dabbling in the art of spoken word to confront silence around gender violence in movement spaces and in 2014 she relocated to Las Vegas\, NV where she further explored the art of slam poetry. Leilani fired up the local Sin City open-mic scene\, regularly performing poetry\, music and previously co-hosting Las Vegas’s longest running weekly open-mic\, “The Human Experience.” The winds recently brought her back to her hometown and she’s been actively using the art of slam poetry to convey messages of cultural pride\, social justice\, healing and empowerment.

It features former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice\, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy\, acclaimed novelist Junot Diaz\, Marine Sgt. Tegan Griffith and baseball manager Joe Maddon\, among others. The stories in “American Creed” are told from the points of view of unlikely activists who creatively bridge cultural\, economic and/or political divides. \nThe public screening of “American Creed” takes place from 6:30-8 p.m.\, Wednesday\, March 7\, at the Chandler Downtown Library\, 22 S. Delaware St. Registration for this event is required and can be done online at chandlerlibrary.libcal.com/event/3941864 or by calling 480-782-2800.

SUMMARY:Racial Literacy and Social Media Community Conversation - Casa Grande
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kathy Nakagawa\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation \nMany parents and educators avoid conversations about race and racism with their children and students\, yet young people are regularly exposed to images\, stories\, videos and statements that reflect racial societal attitudes. This exposure often comes through social media\, such as YouTube videos\, tweets\, Facebook posts and Tumblr blogs. Despite that exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways\, and many parents and educators are unsure how to guide these discussions. So how do we develop a “racial literacy” to have these conversations? Like learning to read and write\, racial literacy equips us to talk about race and understand historical and systemic contexts of race and racism\, and it helps navigate the parallel dialogue occurring in media. Join us for a community conversation about racism\, racial literacy and social media.

SUMMARY:All Hat and No Cattle: The language of the American West - Buckeye
DESCRIPTION:All Hat and No Cattle: The language of the American West\nEvery day we use words and phrases whose roots lie in our western heritage. Words like “brand\,” “maverick\,” and “dude\,” along with phrases like” climb down off your high horse” and “passing the buck” all grew out of the culture and experiences of those who moved into and lived in the American West. These creative words are poetic\, descriptive and often quite humorous like the saying “He’s got a ten-dollar Stetson on a five-cent head\,” or “she’s as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.” This was the language of the frontier and as we moved into it\, the language moved right along with us like a shave-tailed mule hitched to a wagon. Ride shotgun with Renzi as he explores the meanings and historical origins of these Western words and slang phrases. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has written and been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.  Although he derives great satisfaction from his professional pursuits\, his proudest moment was the birth of his twin sons.
