SUMMARY:Art of the Darkroom Print at Da Vinci Art Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Da Vinci Art Alliance – DVAA is proud to work in coordination with Fleisher Art Memorial to host “Art of the Darkroom Print\,” a group exhibition in DVAA’s Gallery 1 of photos by Rick Wright and 14 students in his Darkroom: Art of the Fine Print class at Fleisher. \n“We few\, we happy few\,” invite you to the Photo Resistance as the Da Vinci Art Alliance opens its “Art of the Darkroom Print” exhibit. Come marvel at “old world” film-based darkroom photography and see just how strikingly “the other half” prints. Analog photography is alive and thriving\, and you’ll experience some of the finest black & white photography being made in Philadelphia. The work comes courtesy of Wright’s class\, which has been running continuously at Fleisher for a decade.  \nFourteen talented artists\, and their instructor\, will display the tactile beauty of their luscious\, hand-crafted\, hand-toned silver gelatin prints January 12-26. Please check the hours of the exhibition at davinciartalliance.org. Meet the artists at a reception on Wednesday\, January 23\, from 6:00-7:30 p.m. \nOur happy band of digital resistors all work in their own unique ways\, exploring film photography with an array of manual cameras: pinhole boxes\, twin-lens reflexes\, Dianas & Holgas\, tiny rangefinders\, 8” x 10” view cameras\, and tried and true 35mm SLRs. After the negatives are captured and developed\, the signature printing variations begin with: lith chemistry\, proof positives\, contact prints\, sepia and selenium toning\, fine art papers\, warm and cool papers\, ad infinitum. \nFleisher’s rollicking crew labors throughout the year (every Tuesday night): dodging & burning\, split filtering\, toning & bleaching\, and diving into the fun of it all. Film is a wonderful physical medium; come see for yourself in this rare opportunity. Pictured artwork courtesy of Scott McClellan.  \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS:\nAmanda Abramson\nKevin Brown\nPaula Brumbelow Burns\nDavid Cade\nCarlos Chan\nDominique Ellis\nEdoarda Frangi\nEddie Goldstein\nPeggi Pugh Gottlieb\nJeff Hofer\nEd Keer\nScott McClellan\nGene Renzi\nAndrew Tershakovec\nRick Wright

SUMMARY:Lost in the Woods\, a One-Act Opera
DESCRIPTION:With a libretto using nature writings from Henry David Thoreau’s journal\, spoken by commissioning ensemble\, the Akros Percussion Collective\, and Thoreau’s political writings\, sung by celebrated soprano Stacey Mastrian\, this opera celebrates the life and continued relevance of Henry David Thoreau\, composed in 2017\, the bicentennial of his birth.  \nLost in the Woods\, (2013-2017)\, a one-act opera by Christopher Shultis\, composer\, using nature and political writings by Henry David Thoreau\, with video and stage design by Hee Sook Kim. Performed by Stacey Mastrian\, soprano and the Akros Percussion Collective.  \nWith nature texts selected in Venice\, that most unnatural of places\, built on water where land was never meant to be\, and political texts selected during a Wurlitzer residency in the pristine natural setting of Taos\, NM\, a well-known source of inspiration for artists\, this opera plays with reversals of many types: “mother nature” spoken by male voices\, the vehement and radical opinions of Thoreau regarding slavery and the American government\, always and still led by male presidents\, sung by a woman. Nature and culture\, male and female\, self versus collective\, reversals abound as Thoreau’s political voice is sung by a woman and Thoreau’s observations of the natural world are recited by men.  \nIncluding staging and video by past Wind Challenge artist Hee Sook Kim\, recorded in both New Mexico as well as some of the places where Thoreau lived and worked (Walden Pond\, Cape Cod\, the Maine woods)\, Lost in the Woods is a contemporary re-visioning of one of the 19th century’s most radical authors and naturalists\, intentionally combining the idealism and realism of Thoreau\, who wrote in a time of societal conflict that compares well\, and with similar negative and positive resonances\, with our own.  \nThis event is free and no registration is required. Lost in the Woods is sponsored by Haverford College and the American Composers Alliance.

SUMMARY:JumpstART - Explorations in the Darkroom: Photograms
DESCRIPTION:Fleisher’s JumpstART Workshops are single-session workshops that provide an introduction to our rich offerings and specialized studios. Led by our renowned teaching artists\, the workshops are a welcoming and fun way to engage with art and share the experience with family and friends. You will walk away with a new understanding of a creative medium and an original artwork! Registration is just $25 and all supplies are included. \nGet seduced by the magic of black and white darkroom photography! You’ll explore the historic photographic technique of the photogram\, in which placing objects on the light-sensitive paper you can create rich and elaborate images. You’ll learn developing techniques and will walk away with several 8×10″ photograms of your very own! \nBring several small objects that you can work into a composition and have an interesting contour. Translucent fabric or papers with interesting patterns\, like lace or mesh\, also work well with the process. All other supplies are included.

SUMMARY:Valientes Guerreras “Life Is Not Disposable!” / "¡La Vida No Es Desechable!”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Bring Your Own Project initiative\, Fleisher partnered with Women Organized Against Rape and connected with Latina community members who had shared cultural and social roots as migrant women. Together as sisters\, they took on the challenge of confronting the adversities in their lives that provoked fear and blocked them from freely expressing their emotions. Through hands-on art-making\, a strong and supportive social fabric formed\, built on inclusion\, trust\, and safety. Inspired\, they formed their own artist collective Valientes Guerreras (Brave Warriors). Guided by artist facilitator Laura Deutch\, the group learned to tell their story through collage\, photography\, printmaking sewing\, cooking\, and more. Leaving a legacy emerged as a key theme\, and the idea to create a large curtain from recycled materials\, including 60\,000 soda tabs\, was born. The piece weaves symbols and pieces from compañeras (partners) no longer physically here\, but spiritually present. Each woman’s individual story is embedded in the piece\, bound by strength\, determination\, and creative will. \nThe result is an alternative vision to the idea of a wall that keeps people out. Instead\, Valientes Guerreras offers a porous curtain that transforms cosas tiradas (things thrown away) into something beautiful\, demanding that we see things differently and shining light on the potential of what’s possible when we all work together in our community. The curtain will be on view at Cherry Street Pier\, 121 N. Columbus Blvd.\, beginning May 3. Join us for a reception and to meet members of the collective from 5:00-8:00 p.m. \nBring Your Own Project (BYOP) is a creative place-keeping endeavor that puts Fleisher Art Memorial’s spaces\, resources\, and experience into the hands of community members as a means to tell and preserve their story\, identity\, and traditions during a time of rapid transformation in South Philadelphia. BYOP explores cultural equity and shared power\, as Fleisher seeks new strategies to collaborate with community partners through art and creativity. Together\, the goal is to honor\, preserve\, and promote cultural life in South Philadelphia by dismantling the barriers that prevent many children and adults from engaging with arts institutions. Bring Your Own Project has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. Additional support provided by the Samuel S. Fels Fund and Citizens for the Arts in Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness is an invitation to pause and be present in your life\, just as it is right now. We know from a growing  body of research that regular mindfulness practice helps to lower our stress levels\, decreases rumination\, and boosts working memory and focus. Individuals who regularly practice mindfulness report feeling more satisfied with life and their relationships and are less emotionally reactive.  In fact\, studies show that we are actually happier when we’re living in the present moment. Let the worries of the day go and join us this Thursday\, May 16 to practice mindfulness at 6:00 p.m. in Fleisher’s beautiful Sanctuary space.  \nThis event is free and no registration is required.  \nDenise Kozikowski\, PhD is an experienced mindfulness leader and certified coach. She did her mindfulness training under the direction of Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli through the Center for Mindfulness\, UMassMed.
