Muhsana Ali presents Portes et Passages du Retour, her life journey from Philadelphia to Africa
2020-02-08 14:00 - 17:00 | October Gallery, 6353 Greene Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Portes et Passages du Retour is a Center for Art and Holistic Development in rural Senegal which was founded by the artist couple, Philadelphia-born, Muhsana Ali and Senegal-born, Amadou Kane Sy. The couple is presently in residence at October Gallery after a three month production period at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Museum, during which time they produced a permanent sculptural installation for the newly redesigned Africa Galleries, which opened in November.

Portes et Passages is sponsoring a dynamic program at the October Gallery for the month of February, Black History Month. We have no intention to limit ourselves to the shortest month – It is our goal that February will kick off a full year of continued events on the theme of Black History …and future.

Saturday, February 8, 2020
Muhsana Ali presents Portes et Passages du Retour, her life journey from Philadelphia to Africa. She will be interviewed by Valerie Anderson.

Muhsana Ali was born in Philadelphia, PA and currently lives in Senegal, West Africa. She holds a BFA degree and an MA in Art Education. Muhsana is a multi-talented artist who is skilled in painting, drawing and printmaking, but whose work covers a broad spectrum of mediums ranging from videography, photography, sculptural installation as well as large-scale murals and mosaics. Muhsana’s work is defined by her interest in the holistic evolution of human consciousness. She is concerned with injustice and oppression and how these can be transformed into higher forms of social interactions through art. Muhsana’s work has been primarily community-centered since her 1999 two-year exhibition project, Portes et Passages du Retour, which took place in an abandoned building assisted by a gang of homeless teens in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Her vision grew in 2004 when, accompanied by artist Amadou Kane Sy, she co-founded a rural Center for Art and Holistic Development through their Senegal-based association, Portes et Passage du Retour. Muhsana’s work has been exhibited internationally and her community-driven projects have been conducted throughout the U.S. and Africa both individually as well as in collaboration with artist, Amadou Kane Sy. Muhsana is a recipient of numerous awards and honors including a Fulbright Fellowship and a Pew Fellowship in the Arts.

Valerie Anderson is a group facilitator, arts advocate, and social justice educator. She facilitates workshops that utilizes the arts to generate discussion, heal trauma, share identity, and bring about social change.
Since 2008 she is volunteer docent (tour guide) at the African American Museum in Philadelphia which allows her to increase her knowledge in black history, art, and culture. In 2014 she became the lead docent for the Church of the Advocate and its 14 black history murals that parallels the Bible and the black experience.
She has over 25 years as a Masters level social worker and her group facilitation skills include working with women, children, and families on a variety of topics and in a variety of settings.
She is a member of Green Street Friends Monthly Meeting since 2010 and in September 2019 became a Board Member of the Green Street Friends School.

Reception:Barbara Bullock in Africa in the Arts of Philadelphia Exhibit at the Woodmere

Africa in the Arts of Philadelphia: Bullock, Searles, and Twins Seven-Seven
02/08/2020-
05/17/2020

Susanna W. Gold, Ph.D., Guest Curator
Africa in the Arts of Philadelphia brings together the work of visual artists Barbara Bullock (born 1938), Charles Searles (1937–2004), and Twins Seven-Seven (1944–2011), exploring their collaborative cross-fertilization of ideas and assertions of African and African American cultural identity. These artists participated in the activities of the Ile-Ife Black Humanitarian Center in North Philadelphia. Conceived and established in 1969 by dancer and choreographer Arthur Hall (1934–2000), Ile-Ife offered visual arts, performance, and musical arts classes and programs for the Philadelphia community. The center’s goals focused on educating audiences in traditional African culture and aesthetics and infusing African and African-inspired art forms into contemporary Philadelphia experience.
Ile-Ife derives its name from the ancient Yoruba city of Ife, held to be the site of the world’s creation, according to Yoruba mythology. Ile-Ife was Philadelphia’s primary conduit for sharing and celebrating the great traditions of Africa in building community through a shared sense of strength and pride. Bullock and Searles formed Ile-Ife’s art department, while Twins Seven-Seven introduced authentic Yoruba culture and aesthetics into its activities. Africa in the Arts of Philadelphia examines the work of these artists and their formative experiences at Ile-Ife, which expanded their understanding of the richness of African traditions.

Author Event: John Sayles & Yellow Earth at Uncle Bobbies
2020-02-06 19:00 - 20:30 | Uncle Bobbie’s Bookstore, 5445 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Rich layers of shale oil are discovered under Yellow Earth, North Dakota and the neighboring Three Nations Indian reservation. All hell breaks loose.
In Yellow Earth, the site of Three Nations reservations on the banks of the Missouri River in North Dakota, Sayles introduces us to Harleigh Killdeer, chairman of the Tribal Business Council. “An activist in his way, a product of the Casino Era,” Kildeer, who is contracted by oil firm Case and Crosby, spearheads the new Three Nations Petroleum Company.
What follows, with characteristic lyrical dexterity, insight, and wit, introduces us to a memorable cast of characters, weaving together narratives of competing worlds through masterful storytelling.
Set shortly before Standing Rock would become a symbol of historic proportions of the brutal confrontation between native resistance and the forces of big business and law enforcement, the fate of Yellow Earth serves as a parable for our times.
Books will be available for purchase. Signing will follow the discussion.

Documentary: Pushout:The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools at LaSalle
2020-02-04 17:00 - 20:00 | Founders Hall: LaSalle University, Olney & Wister Sts, Philadelphia, United States
Location: At Founders Hall located at the intersection of Olney Ave and Wister Ave directly across from Fresh Grocer. The building has lots of glass. And you can park in fresh grocer lot or on street.
Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools is a feature length documentary that takes a deep dive into the lives of Black girls and the practices, cultural beliefs and policies that disrupts one of the most important factors in girls’ lives – education.
Black girls are over-represented along the entire exclusionary school discipline, including, but not limited to, suspension, expulsion, referrals to law enforcement and arrest. Across the nation, girls of color have described experiencing discipline in response to their expressions, presentation, and/or identity, instead of in response to an actual threat to school safety.

Screening of movie "Harriet"
2020-02-02 14:00 - 16:00 | October Gallery, 6353 Greene Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Screening of Movie “Harriet”
Saturday & Sunday February 1 & 2, 2020 2 PM

Based on the thrilling and inspirational life of an iconic American freedom fighter, Harriet tells the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman’s escape from slavery and transformation into one of America’s greatest heroes. Her courage, ingenuity and tenacity freed hundreds of slaves and changed the course of history.

Naturally, the screening will be followed by a Q&A, about the movie itself with part of the focus on the status of efforts to put Tubman on the $20 bill.
After the Obama administration announced plans to put Tubman on the front of the currency, replacing Andrew Jackson, the Trump administration has delayed those plans. In May, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that the redesign will be delayed — perhaps until 2028.

Admission Free. Free popcorn & drink served.

Author event: Layla F. Saad, "Me and White Supremacy"
2020-01-25 14:00 - 16:00 | First United Methodist Church of Germantown, 6001 Germantown Avenue , Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Uncle Bobbie’s is proud to welcome author/educator Layla F. Saad! This event will take place at FUMCOG, a short walk up from our store at Germantown & High Sts.
When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #meandwhitesupremacy, she never predicted it would become a cultural movement. She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviors, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it…
Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and over 95,000 people downloaded the supporting work The Me and White Supremacy Workbook.
Updated and expanded from the original edition, Me and White Supremacy teaches readers how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.
LAYLA F SAAD is the author of the ground-breaking Me And White Supremacy and the host of Good Ancestor Podcast. She is a globally sought speaker on the topics of race, spirituality, feminism and leadership. Layla’s work is driven by her powerful desire to become a ‘good ancestor’; to live and work in ways that leave a legacy of healing and liberation for those who will come after she is gone.
Audience Q&A to follow a moderated discussion with the author. SIGNED BOOKS will be available for purchase at this event.

Karyn Olivier solo show at ICA-Opening
2020-01-24 18:30 - 21:00 | Institute of Contemporary Art, 118 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
January 24—May 10, 2020
This exhibition offers the rare opportunity to examine the recent trajectories of Philadelphia-based artist Karyn Olivier’s investigation into scale and its relation to issues of inclusivity and acceptance.
The exhibition builds on several public projects and commissions created by the artist in recent years and continues to revise, rework, and expand on key works that examine the role of monuments and their relationship to civic space, representations of conflicts within history, and the ephemeral nature of collective gestures.
Works in this exhibition bring together two themes the artist has focused on in recent years: larger-than-life scale and the minute effluvia of individuals’ lives. A fully-functioning carousel for only one rider, a large car made entirely of discarded shoes, and a brick wall built using clothing wedged between the bricks as mortar, which evokes memories of laundry sites Olivier visited in Trinidad and carries overtones of refugee structures and traces of bodies, are among the works selected to be reimagined at ICA.
ICA is producing a catalog of the exhibition that will serve as the first overview monograph of the artist. The exhibition is organized by Daniel and Brett Sundheim Chief Curator Anthony Elms.

Author Event at Uncle Bobbies: Chloe Hilliard
2020-01-14 19:00 - 20:30 | Uncle Bobbie’s Bookstore, 5445 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Uncle Bobbie’s welcomes author & comedian Chloe Hilliard for a discussion & signing of her new book, “F*ck Your Diet: And Other Things My Thighs Tell Me.” Books will be available for purchase.
About The Book:
Fans of Issa Rae and Phoebe Robinson will love this collection of laugh-out-loud funny and insightful essays that explore race, feminism, pop culture, and how society reinforces the message that we are nothing without the perfect body.
By the time Chloé Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12—both shoe and dress—and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was never an option. That didn’t stop her from trying. Cursed with a “slow metabolism,” “baby weight,” and “big bones,”—the fat trilogy—Chloe turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and workouts, all of which failed.
Realizing that everything—from government policies to corporate capitalism—directly impacts our relationship with food and our waistlines, Chloé changed her outlook on herself and hopes others will do the same for themselves.
The perfect mix of cultural commentary, conspiracies, and confessions, F*ck Your Diet pokes fun at the all too familiar, misguided quest for better health, permanent weight loss, and a sense of self-worth.
About The Author:
Chloé Hilliard is a writer and comedian who first appeared as a semi-finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and went on to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, and more. Prior to her comedy career, she was a culture and entertainment journalist whose work has been featured in The Village Voice, Essence, Vibe, and The Source. Find out more at ChloeHilliard.com.

2020-01-06 19:00 - 20:30 | Uncle Bobbie’s Bookstore, 5445 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19144, United States
Author Event: Kiley Reid

2020 Mon Jan 6th 7:00pm – 8:30pm

Uncle Bobbies Welcomes author Kiley Reid for her debut book “Such a Fun Age”
About the book:
Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains’ toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. The store’s security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. Alix resolves to make things right.
But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix’s desire to help. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life. When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix’s past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other.
With empathy and piercing social commentary, Such a Fun Age explores the stickiness of transactional relationships, what it means to make someone “family,” the complicated reality of being a grown up, and the consequences of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

South Philly Big Band returns to Rittenhouse Soundworks for the 3rd Annual Harlem Nutcracker featuring vocalist Najwa Parkins.
Philadelphia based saxophonist, composer and educator Chris Oatts has been hailed as “a force to be reckoned with,” by All About Jazz. Oatts has performed, recorded or toured with the likes of Seal, Jazz Orchestra of Philadelphia, Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Five, Terell Stafford, the Philly Pops, Prism Saxophone Quartet and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. Oatts is the nephew of alto saxophone great, Dick Oatts whose debut album as a leader, First Quintet was released in 2017. The record features all original compositions, which pay tribute to the rich tradition of jazz while simultaneously forging a unique and personal style. Oatts is the founder and musical director of the South Philly Big Band, a group steeped in the tradition of the great big bands that continually commissions new works from Philadelphia composers. SPBB has performed shows with Walt Weiskopf, Ignacio Berroa and Gary Smulyan and in December 2017 released a Christmas EP of new imaginations of Christmas classics entitled, “SPBBXMAS.” The group maintains a residency in Philadelphia and plays host to a monthly Big Band Jam Session. Currently on faculty at Temple University, Oatts directs a dedicated saxophone group as well as the Swingin’ Owls: two 16 piece big bands that offer students and community members an opportunity to take part in playing iconic big band music. Oatts also teaches at the Shipley School located in Bryn Mawr, Pa, where he teaches Music Theory, Composition, production, small and large ensemble jazz playing, as well as private saxophone instruction.
Najwa Parkins is a Philadelphia-based vocalist, songwriter/composer, arranger, bandleader, and educator. Her voice has often been described as smooth, smoky, and soulful, with a profound range of emotion. She graduated from Temple University with a B.M. in Jazz Studies and Vocal Performance, after which released her self-produced debut album, Not the Next Someone Else, in 2011. She has shared the stage with a wide array of artists including Benny Golson, Larry McKenna, Bob Dorough, Nellie McKay, Donn T, Houston Person, Nicholas Payton, Phil Woods, and Branford Marsalis.

Najwa graduated from New York University with a M.S. in Professional Writing in May 2016. She returned to Temple University in the fall of 2016, this time, as an adjunct faculty member in the vocal jazz department.
