"When the creative impulse cannot flourish freely, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.”–John F. Kennedy (1962)
Spend your lunch hour hearing from two-spirit contemporary artist, writer and facilitator M. Carmen Lane as they present "Far From Being An Interruption: The Artist-Led Space, Extractivism, 'Overlooked Anchors' and the Politics of Place" during Lunch on Fridays from 12:15 to 1:30pm Friday, April 19 in CIA's Peter B. Lewis Theater.
Lane will discuss the role of place and systems thinking in their practice as an interdisciplinary artist, founder and director at ATNSC: Center for Healing and Creative Leadership, a socially engaged, multidisciplinary and artist-led residency, retreat, research and exhibition space in the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood of Cleveland—an ongoing work sited in a multi-unit residential home that was slated for demolition and reawakened in 2020. It centers the life and practices of Indigenous contemporary artists and artists of color.
Lane will share an overview of their work in conversation with the 1962 John F. Kennedy essay, “The Arts in America” as theoretical conversant to explore the potential of the artist as leader and the strategy of placed based arts interventions as both companion, answer and mirror. A city’s arts and culture ecosystem directly reflects the landscape it inhabits—storytelling and sound will be a part of this experience.
