"BIG NIGHT IN" GRANT - COVID LOSSES

"NORTHSTAR CHURCH OF THE ARTS PROPOSES 10 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EVENTS OVER A 10 MONTH PERIOD. THESE INCLUDE LECTURES, BOOK AND POETRY READINGS, AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS LINKED BY AN OVERARCHING THEME OF CREATIVITY IN MAKING A "WAY OUT OF NO WAY." A DISCUSSION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN QUILTING TRADITIONS REVEALS A UNIQUE ART FORM AND APPROACH BORN OF NECESSITY AND ROOTED IN CULTURE AND PLACE. WOVEN THROUGH HIP HOP CULTURE IS AN IMPULSE TO REDEFINE LANGUAGE. FOR EXAMPLE, WE INVITED NOTED PROFESSOR, DR. MARK ANTHONY NEAL, TO DISCUSS THE ROOTS OF HIP-HOP CULTURE AND ITS RESONANCE IN OUR LANGUAGE. THE "WAY OUT OF NO WAY" SERIES WILL BE CO-CURATED BY NOTED LOCAL AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY SCHOLARS. ALL EVENTS WILL BE FILMED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO OUR WIDER AUDIENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS AND/OR PUBLIC ACCESS CHANNELS. EVENTS WILL INCLUDE A SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER AND FINAL EDITED VERSIONS WILL OFFER SPANISH SUBTITLES.
