SUMMARY:All My Relations: Indigenous Thinking in Seven Generations with Rowdy Duncan
DESCRIPTION:Who do you consider to be people that you are related to? Who is and is not part of your community? Is there a way to widen our perspective of who is part of our community and invested in our success. This workshop will introduce the idea of thinking in seven generations and examine the concept used in indigenous circles “All my relations”. What if we could learn to see in a more timeless frame? How we view the world\, and the contributions of others\, can be shaped by who we are “connected” to\, and who we are “disconnected” from. The choices we make about how we choose to live\, and what matters to us\, have much to do with the world we live in\, and the people who surround us\, at home\, at work\, and at play. Who is your “tribe?” Can you trace your family roots back to the beginning? Do we have any obligation to those who came before us\, or who come after us? What is our responsibility for making a better world? Participants will explore these questions in a unique\, interactive program that will improve their communication skills\, facilitate learning\, and help them navigate cultural differences at work and at home. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nRowdy has worked in the field of diversity and inclusion for over a decade. Currently he is full time faculty in the field of Communication with an emphasis in Interpersonal Communication\, Public Speaking\, and Intercultural Communication. He has lead peer Mentoring groups that educate youth about drug prevention\, educational success\, and college and career readiness.  Rowdy completed director training from the Anytown/Ourtown programs and teaches young people and their leaders about power\, privilege\, equity\, and inclusion. He also sits on the curriculum board for Anytown AZ. An engaging and passionate presenter and facilitator\, Rowdy is also the director of Phoenix College’s Diversity Incorporated.\, a program that teaches students how to present the MOSAIC inclusiveness program\, and he is an active member of the Healing Racism Public Dialogue Series\, winner of the 2008 National League of Cities Promoting Inclusive Award.  He also produces and delivers his Inclusive Activism Podcast bi-weekly to his thousands of listeners about how the intersections of Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Equity work are a form of Personal Leadership.

SUMMARY:America Speaks: Hidden Voices\, Silent Stories with Tamika Sanders
DESCRIPTION: CLICK HERE to rsvp. \n\n\nJoin us for the first in a series of programs exploring the diverse voices that capture the journey towards Democracy in America. We are proud to feature these presentations as part of the traveling Smithsonian Exhibit Voices and Votes: Democracy in America that will launch in March 2020. The Voices and Votes exhibit will travel to six Arizona towns\, and feature programs across the state.\n\n\nOur democracy has been shaped by many people. We are most familiar with the famous\, the nation’s founders and Presidents. But many more individuals have contributed to the depth and breadth of our nation’s values of life. liberty and justice. This program explores the contributions from those in the shadows\, some faceless and nameless\, who built America.\n\nJoin us as we learn about the Coded Messages of the Underground Railroad\, and later The Green Book. Communication and secrecy were key to the successful operation of the Underground Railroad. Safety was more important than quickness. Both fugitive slaves and members of the Underground Railroad learned to code and decode hidden messages\, and to disguise signs to avoid capture. Using storytelling\, activities and songs\, this presentation will depict the ingenuity and resiliency used by those involved in the Underground Railroad to help over 100\,000 slaves escape to freedom between 1810 and 1850.  For many years after the Civil War it was not safe or easy for Blacks to travel in the segregated U.S. Restaurants\, hotels\, theaters and businesses did not serve Blacks. They developed a network of safe spaces so that they could travel\, live and work despite illegal and legally sanctioned discrimination through Jim Crow laws.\n\nDr. Tamika Sanders is an entrepreneur who decided to become an educator to help address the lack of minority faculty in higher education\, and serve as a role model for minority students who rarely see people of color in academia. She hopes to continue using the arts to break barriers\, unite people\, and create social change.

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.

SUMMARY:Artist + Talk: Persian Wom=n and the Unity of Humanity - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Eternal Flame by Mitra\nJoin us for an evening to explore Persian Wom=n and their role in uniting humanity through their art. Local artist Mitra will explore an array of wom=n artists: Simin Beh-bahani\, (1927-2014)\, an activist\, lyricist\, writer and contemporary poet nominated for the Noble prize; Forouq Farrok_Zad\,(1935-1957)\, a controversial\, feminist\, modernist poet and film director. She created the acclaimed documentary “The House is a Black” about a leper’s colony; and\, Parvin E-tesami (1907-1941)\, a classical/modern poet who was a pro-education mystic and exposed issues concerning wom=n injustices\, labor rights\, equitable education. Mitra Kamali\, a fine artist and petroleum engineer of Persian heritage\, shares her artistic vision of life through paintings that speak from a timeless world view. Mitra believes that creating art enhances self-realization and opens the mind to view the inner and outer world through the eyes of symbolism. Mitra is an active board member of Cultural Arts Coalition (CAC) since 2005. \nRSVP:  azhumanities.eventbrite.com \nThis program is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities and are part of the Humanities and the Legacy of Race and Ethnicity in the United States Grant.

SUMMARY:The House is a Heart: Why Historic Homes Matter - Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:**Event Update** We are expecting a full house for this program and seating will be first come first served. If the event is ‘sold out’ we will seat RSVPs and then walk-ins. Please call 602-257-0335 for questions. \nHouse museums and historic structures are often overlooked as core cultural institutions in their communities—instead playing secondary roles to major museums and larger institutions.  Yet\, these structures tell us much about the life of a community\, through the lives of the people who built the community\, who shaped its growth\, or who made it rich with culture.  Like first-person histories\, historic homes give a human dimension to the great forces that shape communities.  Stuart Graff\, President and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation\, will discuss the role that historic homes and other historic structures play in our community\, using the Ellis-Shackelford House (Phoenix) and Taliesin West (Scottsdale) as examples of how understanding these places—and preserving them—tells us not only our history\, but also our future. \nSeating is limited and will be first come first served. We are expecting a full house! \nRSVP: https://historichomesmatter.eventbrite.com \nFacebook RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/481662812179200 \nStuart I. Graff\, President / CEO\, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation  \nGrowing up in Chicago\, Stuart was introduced to Frank Lloyd Wright’s work at a young age\, evolving into a lifelong passion for 20th-century architecture and\, in particular\, Wright’s focus on organic and sustainable architecture that was broadly accessible. Stuart studied engineering at Northwestern\, and received his JD from Loyola University\, and his MBA from Emory University. After practicing both intellectual property and corporate law for many years\, he went on to lead businesses with Newell Rubbermaid and Valspar. In addition to his professional activities\, Graff has an extensive history of board leadership\, volunteerism\, and fundraising for arts and social justice organizations.
