Author Talk: Sherry DeCarava The Sweet Flypaper of Life
2019-01-23 19:00 - 21:00 | Uncle Bobbie’s Bookstore, 5445 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Uncle Bobbie’s welcomes Sherry DeCarava, wife of the late Roger DeCarava for a book talk and discussion of the newly republished The Sweet Flypaper of Life.
“In 1952 Roger DeCarava became the first African American photographer to win a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. The one-year grant enabled DeCarava to focus full time on the photography he had been creating since the mid-1940s and to complete a project that would eventually result in The Sweet Flypaper of Life, a moving, photo-poetic work in the urban setting of Harlem. DeCarava compiled a set of images from which Hughes chose 141 and adeptly supplied a fictive narration, reflecting on life in that city-within-a-city. First published in 1955, the book, widely considered a classic of photographic visual literature, was reprinted by public demand several times. This fourth printing, the Heritage Edition, is the first authorized English-language edition since 1983 and includes an afterword by Sherry Turner DeCarava tracing the history and ongoing importance of this book.”

There will NOT be an exhibition this month, instead iMPeRFeCT Gallery is delighted to present a new art form for us! 2 short plays by local playwright Dennis Moritz, “UNCLE” and “White Face Lieutenant”, will be shown the next two weekends.
White Faced Lieutenant, performed by Joe Guzman is based on Moritz’s father’s true WWII story. He combines memory play and prayer of remembrance in this heart wrenching, deeply spiritual, haunting monologue. Directed by Deborah Baer Mozes.
UNCLE is a multidimensional show stopper, performed by Lee Kenneth Richardson, as one man’s failed failing flailing soaring attempts to live inside a world of persistent trauma, pain, and longing to be understood. He speaks from another realm, from an Interzone between audience and performer. iMPeRFeCT Gallery is his mothership! Directed by Robert Craig Baum (Co-Founder of N1Theatre/Lab)
$20 donation
All donations go to support iMPeRFeCT Gallery, N1Theater/Lab’s evolving neighborhood venue.
Do not miss this blockbuster event featuring sets and installations by visual artist Harry Moritz, direction and curation by Robert Craig Baum, music by Significant Fury (RCB and Theo Baum), and paintings by George Baum.
About Joe Guzman:
Philadelphia’s own Joe Guzmán reprises his role as a WWII bombardier shot down, imprisoned, and tortured by the Japanese. Some past performances include: Arcadia and Julius Caesar at Lantern Theater, and many, many others. Joe received a Barrymore Award for Supporting Actor in a Play for Lantern Theater’s Lovers and Executioners.
Robert Craig Baum, director, curator
“Installation shows cannot become exciting events without the right source material, the right actor, the right director, and the right collaborative spirit. Dennis and I have found this new Home at the iMPeRFeCT Gallery who will house this performance, alongside Dennis’ UNCLE as well.”
About Lee Kenneth Richardson:
Lee Kenneth Richardson is a Founder of the African American Crossroads Theatre Company in New Brunswick, NJ. His performance conjures the stuff of life and death while dropping prophecy and deep, damaging, liberating, incomprehensible, and searing truths we need to hear right now in the Germantown sector of the Philadelphia zone of occupied America.
DENNIS MORITZ Playwright
“I’ve written over thirty works that have received professional productions. Venues include Public Theater and BACCA Downtown, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Bowery Poetry Club in NYC. Here Center for the Performing Arts, Freedom Theater, Painted Bride Arts Center, Theatre Ariel, plus other venues in the USA and New Zealand. My book, Something to Hold On To, Nine Theater Pieces, was published by United Artists books, the long time poetry press. My play, Just the Boys was anthologized in Action: the Nuyorican Poets Cafe Theater Festival (Simon and Schuster). Genet at Mettray, a new collection of my plays, was published by United Artists books in 2017.”

Author Event: Nazia Kazi Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics
2019-01-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Uncle Bobbie’s Bookstore, 5445 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Uncle Bobbie’s welcomes author Nazia Kazi for a book talk and signing of her book, Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics.”
“Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics is a powerful introduction to the scope of Islamophobia in the U.S. Drawing on examples such as the legacy of Barack Obama, the mainstream media’s portrayal of Muslims, and the justifications given for some of America’s most recent military endeavors, author Nazia Kazi highlights the vast impact of Islamophobia, connecting this to a long history of US racism. Kazi shows how American Islamophobia and racism are at once domestic—occurring within the borders of the United States—and global—a matter of foreign policy and global politics.”
Admission is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.

Her voice has often been described as smooth, smoky, and soulful— with a profound range of emotion. Although she believes “soul” can’t be taught, she does attribute much of her vocal range, stamina, and hornlike agility to her classical voice studies, which she began in 2004. Najwa has been praised for her compositions, which are both lyrically and musically engaging.
