D Center Convo #82: Does language create reality?
Tuesday, May 2 : 6:15 PM – 8 PM

The Windup Space
12 W North Ave, Baltimore, Maryland 21201

How does language need to change in order for society to change?

D Center Convo #82 is asking questions about the relationship between language systems, design, and social agency. Poet and journalist Celeste Doaks, creative technologist Victor F. M. Torres, and Odyssey Works co-founder Abraham Burickson will be discussing the ways in which language works and presenting language re-invention case studies.

Celeste Doaks will start the conversation off by demonstrating the relationship between language and representation. She will discuss based on her own experience as a published poet, and knowledge of the processes of other well-known poets, language as both obstacle and opening to reality.

Victor F. M. Torres will continue demonstrating this relationship by presenting a brief history of language systems, specifically focusing on phonemes– atomistic time capsules of speech. He will also present his 2015 “Language Writes Myth Writes Reality” MFA thesis exhibition.

Abe Burickson and students from MICA’s Design|Writing|Research class will also present three language re-invention case studies. The questions the D|W|R class asks are: if we reinvent language, are we hiding the truth or are we reconstructing the ways in which we engage with the world?

Convo curator: Lori Rubeling, designer, educator, and D Center board member

A Message From Our Host –
I’m so excited to create this opportunity for people to come together each month to enjoy some laughs, music, dance and a little encouragement. I feel like it’s something we all need. You may come to support one friend for the open mic but leave with four new friends cause It’s more than an open mic, it’s a game night, dance party, and out right community jam.
I’m also super excited to feature local theater programs and local writers. Whether you’re creating a new show or putting together your own cabaret, you need an opportunity to test it out on an audience and that’s what you’ll have every month at the Motor House, Broadway Live with family, friends, and me. Can’t wait to see you 🙂

<><><><><><><><><><><>‘MERICA Featuring Susie Brandt, Wesley Clark, Emily Erb, & René Treviño
Thursday, May 4th : 6-9pm

School 33 Art Center
1427 Light Street : 21230

A group exhibition featuring works that examine and dissect deeply ingrained American iconography such as the American flag and printed U.S. currency. The featured artists engage in a literal and tactile deconstruction, reconstruction, and/or re-imagining of this imagery in an effort to process the complex, evolving relationships that they themselves and others have with it—be they critical, reverential, or anywhere in between. ‘MERICA concentrates its lens upon the formal qualities of these symbols—and on issues of patriotism, jingoism, pride, and protest—as well as perceptions surrounding who they actually do and do not represent.

<><><><><><><><><><><>You Can’t Just Draw a Line in the Sand: A Solo Exhibition of works by Dave Eassa
Thursday, May 4th : 6-9pm

School 33 Art Center
1427 Light Street : 21230

Just when you think everything is set in place with a clear trajectory, it seems like something always comes along to flip it all upside down. Your once certain way of being, your tried and true ways of existing within yourself, your environment, and with others… everything is now challenged and called into question. You ask yourself, “Where do I go from here?”

 Dave Eassa’s You Can’t Just Draw A Line In The Sand embodies both the visual and the physical, inviting the viewer to enter the manifests through his paintings, sculptures, and immersive installations. Eassa utilizes insulation foam to carve figures, objects, and environments covered in thick, vibrant oil paint. His tactile, process-driven aesthetic contributes to his continuous narrative of negotiating personal exploration within established societal constructs.

<><><><><><><><><><><>Come Shining | Temple Crocker
Friday, May 5th – Sunday, May 7th

The Barn at Single Carrot Theatre
2600 North Howard Street : 21218

As spring takes its first steps, the voices of our elders guide us through stories of the aging mind and spirit on its journey. Songs and gestures emerge, objects from the past shift places, then shift again. Multiple generations, from near and far, come together to imagine an evening of something new.

Come Shining was created by Temple Crocker with residents from Springwell Senior Living Community using TimeSlips, a collective story telling technique developed for people with dementia related memory loss.

Come Shining is performed by Temple Crocker, Ben King and Dan Hanrahan, and incorporates the voices of many of the collaborating residents from Springwell including Leslie Bathurst, Bonnie Behner, Phyllis Cohen, Ursula Oliver, Alice Marks, Rosetta Mangeri, Josephone Sharoky, and Jackie Taylor.

Other artists contributing their talents to the project are David Crandall, Keri Eastridge, Nathan Ebelein, Christine Ferrera, Julianne Franz, Ellen Kruger, Sarah Lloyd, Chas Marsh, Juanita Rockwell, Tom Shade and Pete Wiedman

Tickets are $10.00

<><><><><><><><><><><>Baltimore United Viewfinders: Eastside Stories III, Finding Home
Friday, May 5th : 7pm

MICA Place
814 North Collington Avenue : 21205

East Side Stories III​ is a year long exploration of stories from the neighborhood that surrounds The Baltimore United Viewfinders, an after school youth organization located in East Baltimore. There have been two previous publications of ​Eastside Stories​, but this time around, The Senior Viewfinders have compiled our materials into a ‘zine. Throughout the year, we have explored the subject of home in many different ways. We have deliberately been inclusive of the views of young adults, new residents, high school students, and immigrants within the neighborhood. Our publication will include original artwork created by The Viewfinders, as well as in-depth interviews with community members.

According to Community Artist Miranda Hontz, who has been the editor-in-chief of the project, “Home is felt in a unique way by residents of communities, like those of East Baltimore, that are constantly in flux. Residents are trying to fight for their right to be where they are and constantly worried about their living place being taken away.

Whether it’s where we live, a family heirloom, or our favorite pair of shoes, home is uniquely instilled in all of us in our individual ways. With the publication of ​Eastside Stories III​, we hope to start a larger conversation about home​—​the way it is experienced in East Baltimore and all over our city.”

Saturday, May 6th : 9am-7pm

American Visionary Art Museum
800 Key Highway : 21230

From the American Visionary Art Museum—a race of wacky, imaginative, TOTALLY HUMAN-POWERED WORKS OF ART, DESIGNED TO TRAVEL ON LAND, THROUGH MUD, AND OVER DEEP HARBOR WATERS, constructed out of used bicycles, gears, and parts, created by a lunatic genius who tinkers around in the garage or backyard (do you know this person?)! The machines can be simple, small crafts, piloted by only one brave soul, or they can be over 50 feet long, extremely well-engineered, sophisticated vehicles powered by a team of pilots. Pilots (“Kinetinauts”) compete for the most coveted GRAND MEDIOCRE EAST COAST CHAMPION AWARD (finishes right in the middle), and the highly prized NEXT TO THE LAST AWARD (finishes, well, next-to-last), and other serious trophies including ART, ENGINEERING, BEST BRIBES and more. The all-day race kicks off at 10AM at American Visionary Art Museum (arrive early to take part in the Opening Ceremony and Blessing of De Feet). Other great spots to see the vehicles are the 1st Checkpoint atop Federal Hill; The Water Entry at the boat ramp at Canton Waterfront Park; the uphill Mud-Pit in Patterson Park; the not-so-quick-Sand Pit in Patterson Park; and, of course, anywhere along the 15-mile route throughout Baltimore City.
