Cuba: An African Odyssey



Friday, August 19

at 7:00 p.m.

Justice Center

617 Florida Avenue NW

Shaw/Howard University Metro (yellow/green line)

Cuba: An African Odyssey tells the story of the Cold War through its least known theatre: Africa.

Soon after the Cuban revolutionaries' victory in 1959, Africa’s young revolutionaries, led by

Lumumba, Cabral and Neto, asked Cuba’s freedom fighters for help in their battle against colonial

domination. Cuba played a key role in Africa’s struggle for liberation.

From Che Guevara’s work in the Congo to the triumphant Battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola,

Cuba: An African Odyssey tells a crucial piece of the story behind the so-called Cold War, shows

the true meaning of international solidarity and sheds light on the current dynamic in Africa.

Sponsored by the Party for Socialism and Liberation

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a member of the ANSWER Coalition Steering Committee.

U.S. Debt and the Millennials:

Is Washington Creating a Lost Generation?

moderated by

Dan Mitchell

Cato Institute

It is a tumultuous time to be a young American. The national debt is accruing at a record

pace, more than doubling in the past decade to reach $14.6 trillion today, and future

liabilities threaten to drive government spending even higher. Job growth has been tepid,with unemployment persistently over 9 percent. For soon-to-be college graduates and

early professionals looking to find jobs and plot their futures, many are at a loss for what to

expect and how to move forward.

How will mounting deficits impact today’s young people in the years to come? Some argue

that government spending is necessary to ensure the future by providing school loans,

unemployment insurance, infrastructure investments, and other social provisions. Others

hold that government spending cripples the future due to massive welfare commitments,

misaligned economic incentives, and polluted market signals.

Join us to hear from a panel of young wonks and journalists as they discuss the pending

outlook for Millennials.

"Delusions of Grandeur: Ascension"

Painters

Jamea Richmond-Edwards

Amber Robles-Gordan

Shaunte Gates

Opening Reception


Parish Gallery

1054 31st Street NW




Showing through September 16, 2011

This exhibition is the result of an artistic dialog about the "delusions of grandeur" that each artist

possesses in order to continue progressing in their careers and most importantly in their artwork.

Ascension, the act of rising to an important position or a higher level, is the theme adapted for this

current body of work. Each artist presents his individual interpretation of the act of ascending.

Artist, Shaunté Gates' work combines multiple processes and genres, by taking appropriations

and gestures from pop culture and print media which are combined to create elusive narratives.

His works seduce us into an imaginary world of juxtaposition and fantasy, a place where thecontradictions of culture and the human psyche collide. His mixed media paintings capture the

beauty in subjects that may, at first glance, appear bleak to the average eye. Gates' ideas are

derived from the pain, joy, and the beautiful way everything is connected universally.

Jamea Richmond-Edwards work explores the contradictions of female and cultural identity

making reference to Greek Mythology, African folklore and international fashion. She examines

how mythologies from ancient times translate into today's culture and time allegorically. Her

figures are empowered by their survivalist adaptation to circumstance. Their sharp features are

inspired by both high fashion models and the everyday women in her community.

Amber Robles-Gordon'smixed media artworks draw upon her journey through motherhood,

genealogy, healing, and being alive today. They represent her technical and scholarly growth as an

artist, and are supported by her professional development in the Washington , DC area. Her two-

and three-dimensional pieces fit within an expansive notion of painting and sculptural form. She

uses wood or painted, stretched canvas to support an accumulation of media in low- or sharp-

relief. These assemblages require a close look to interpret their individual parts. Collectively, these

parts form a visual energy comprised of the previous "lives" of the objects, their former owners,

and the artist's hand.

"Fall and Rise"

The Solo Show of Joe IuratoShow end date: September 12

Opening Reception

Saturday, August 20, 8:00-11:00 p.m.Art Whino Gallery

120 American Way

National Harbor, MD 20745

The event is FREE and open to the public.

At a very young age, we’re taught that if we fall down trying to accomplish something we

should get back up and try again. Learning to walk is a perfect example, as the bumps

and bruises from repeatedly collapsing to the ground soon give way to smiles and a

newfound independence in mobility. Nobody just hands us the key to walking. We earn it.

Each and every one of us, regardless of the social or economical status we’re born into,

earns it. Maybe we can’t recall how good it felt the day we made it across the living

room floor on our own two feet, but in life, we’ll have plenty other opportunities to reach

our rewards as we stumble, fall and fight like hell to get back up.

As we get older, the falls we take are usually harder, often unexpected, and more difficult

to recover from. Rather than leave scars on our hands and knees, they leave us bleeding

emotionally. More importantly, what we do afterward can determine the course of our

lives moving forward. The work for Joe’s “Fall and Rise” examines the fall and the

moment of self restoration and enlightenment upon picking oneself up, as opposed tofalling back down and falling apart.



About the Artist

“:01 represents one second. In times of adversity, it only takes a single second to decide

you’re going to pick yourself up and move forward in a positive direction, regardless of

the circumstances involved. :01 means never give up. Stay the course. Believe in who

you are. Embrace the next challenge and begin a new chapter.”

Joe’s art can be found in both public spaces and in galleries. His stenciling technique,

which he describes as “drawing with an Exacto blade”, is completely his own, and it’s

evidenced within the styling of his works. His cuts are proportionate and clean, yet

painterly and imperfect. His subject matter varies according to his daily inspirations, from

large-scale portraits of children recognizing their importance to society and this planet’s

future; to faceless characters that appear at a crossroads somewhere in between victory

and defeat; to people “floating and drifting” away with elation and self restoration; and to

his more recent textural paintings of ropes and chains, things that Joe finds symbolic of

strength and unity, rather than restraint and oppression. Regardless of the subject

matter, Joe’s adamant about creating socially conscious work that speaks to the times.



'Unknown Pleasures' 2nd Rooftop Happy Hour Pool Party!

Event Date:

Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 3:00pm - 9:00pm

Donovan House Hotel

Venue Address:

See map: Google Maps

http://www.thompsonhotels.com/hotels/dc/donovan-house





On August 20th, 'Unknown Pleasures' returns with a special rooftop pool party event!

We are pleased to be hosting our sunny happy hour party at none other than ADC (Above DC) @Donovan House Hotel.

With quite possibly the best rooftop view in Washington, DC, resort-like pool/bar area with happy hourspecials, and DJ set by 'Unknown Pleasures' curator Chris Price, this event promises to be your bestshot at a South Beach-esque afternoon escape!

FREE, 3-9pm! RSVP to [email protected] . Please include your name as well as the number ofguests you will be bringing.

More about 'Unknown Pleasures':

With this new party series, Chris Price hopes to offer up an option to locals who are looking to get outand hear some diverse dance-oriented music, but wish to avoid the ‘usual’ DC scene.

Influenced in equal parts by classic club nights of the 80s/90s at venues like Paradise Garage and theHacienda as well as modern New York City parties thrown by the likes of DFA, ‘Unknown Pleasures’intends to offer up an eclectic selection of music that is simultaneously underground and accessible.

Expect to hear a mix that will weave through classic house, synth-pop, post-punk, electro, andperhaps a little disco (the good kind) all in the course of an evening. Take note: top 40 andcommercial hip-hop aren’t included on the ‘Unknown Pleasures’ menu, so if you’re hoping to getdown to radio hits, you may have to look elsewhere.

Artists' Statement:

We are three artists who inspire each other; we have been painting

together for 8 years. We paint as a way to express ourselves; at the same

time, we believe we create art that is pleasing to the "eye of the beholder."

We paint to express our thoughts, feelings, and ideas about the beauty of

the colorful world around us. We like the observer to visit the places or

view the objects we paint.

About the Artists:

Yolanda Saenz-Atkins was born in Brownsville, Texas. In 1972 she moved to northern

Virginia and, after receiving a degree in Early Childhood Education at George Mason

University, began teaching kindergarten/first grade at Kings Park Elementary in Springfield.

After teaching for 15 years, she retired from the Fairfax County Public Schools. In 2006 she

found the time to embark on a journey toward developing her love and passion for the arts.

She found support and guidance when she met Nancy Jung, her art teacher and mentor.

After three years of studying under Nancy's tutelage, she has developed a creative body of

work using a variety of techniques-but mostly using her favorite medium, oils. In addition to



painting and playing with her grandchildren, Yolanda stays active in her community by

serving as president of the Friends of Pohick Library. She plans to continue her work as an

artist by exploring and expressing her creativity through her paintings.

Cindi Kurtz took 2 years off work when her husband was stationed at Wright Patterson Air

Force Base in Ohio in 1999. She finally had the time to join Brush and Pallette, where she

learned charcoal , pastels, and watercolor. When she moved back to northern Virginia, she

started taking oil classes with Nancy Jung in 2002 and has been there ever since! "It truly is

my therapy!"

Sabiha Malik has a degree in Arts and a diploma in Interior Decoration and Window

Display. For the past 15 years she has worked with three international and national

companies as a visual coordinator. She also has taught art to children at a Montessori

school. "Nature has always inspired me, and to me the universe is like a huge canvas or

palette filled with colors. My canvas and colors are my life. When I am working with paint it

gives me a lot of positive energy and pleasure. I would like to thank my teacher Nancy, who

makes our thoughts come out in colors instead of words."

You're invited to meet the artists on Sunday, August 21st, from 2pm

to 4pm. Come see their work and learn more about their approach to

their art.

"The Evolution of Art" highlights the work of emerging local artists in a

unique exhibit space. This innovative series brings together fine art and

fresh-roasted coffee in an intimate and comfortable setting.

Beanetics is open Monday through Thursday from 7am to 8pm, Friday and

Saturday from 7am to 9pm, and Sunday from 8:30am to 6pm.

special panel discussion on the National Woman’s Party’s

(NWP) use of persuasive language and imagery to securesuffrage. The program is presented in partnership with the

examples from our Nina Allender collection of politicalcartoons.

Program attendees will hear from panelists Lisa KathleenGraddy of the National Museum of American History and

Dr. Kyle Ciani, Associate Professor of History, Illinois

State University, on the ways in which the National

Woman’s Party utilized various forms of rhetoric toengage and persuade the public and elected officials to

support women’s right to vote. Ms. Graddy will examine

the banners carried in suffrage parades and during the

NWP’s pickets in front of the White House. Attendees willsee the tactics and strategies employed by the NWP during

the messaging as the U.S. entered World War I. Dr. Cianiwill examine the Nina Allender cartoons featured on the

Mexico and Cuba are the two Latin American countries in closest geographic proximity to the United States. This

nearness has driven both countries to work together to advance each one’s bilateral relations with their powerful

mutual neighbor. At the same time, the United States has on occasion sought Mexico’s help to address

controversies involving Cuba, taking advantage of the historically close ties between Mexico City and Havana.

Campa will discuss the “triangular” relationship that exists among Mexico, the United States, and Cuba, payingspecial attention to three episodes: 1) President Carlos Salinas de Gortari’s efforts to mediate the 1994 “rafters

crisis” between Cuba and the United States; 2) the Mexico-Cuba diplomatic crisis of 2002; and, 3) the 2008

Mexico-Cuba negotiations to address Cuban migration to Mexico. Campa will discuss - how relationships

among the countries have changed over time, from the Cuban Revolution to the present.

Around the world, poor women are responsible for finding water for their families and farms. Women and girls

procuring water in conflict zones are frequently victims of violence. USAID and the Wilson Center are seeking to

deepen the understanding of the root causes of conflict and the practical connections between gender-based

vulnerability, water access, and conflict-affected areas. Join us as three experts share insights from field work and

research on water access in conflict-affected areas and ways to build peace and stability through water projects.

Solomon Wondimu: SKIN: America in Black & White

(September 2-30)



Born and raised in Ethiopia, Solomon Wondimu has been working on Human Skin ColorProject for the past five years. Wondimu questions the distinct classifications of peopleas "Black" or "White" which describes an opposition that does not actually exist in nature.In creating his works Wondimu uses a palette of 3,000 different colors he has collectedfrom skin-color swatches representing the multi-coloredness of individuals and people.

Going beyond the physical attributes of SKIN, Wonidmu's work is also about the conflictbetween the eye and the perceiving mind over the color of human skin. The eye sees itsworld without bias; however, the mind takes that information from the eye andtranslates it into social, political and religious master signifiers in order to furtheragendas, particularly subjugation of the Other. Wondimu's work describes and exposesthis conflict as it exists in both the micro and macro levels.

Alison Sigethy: Sanctuary

(September 2-30)

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Alison Sigethy's Sanctuary attempts to

bring the viewer closer to achieving inner peace by taking them on a journey inside the

human body. Sigethy's belief in the power of the inner self, a place where one can truly

find peace, healing and forgiveness, has been the foundation in creating this work.

In Sanctuary, the body is represented by two multi-piece sculptures,each portraying a

different internal system. Breath, six large glass panels with undulating fabric and

shadows, represents the respiratory system. Life, four bubble tubes filled with intricate

glass components, represents the cardiovascular system. Both sculptures incorporate

sound and movement as an essential part of the experience.
