SUMMARY:JIHAN GEARON: TRICKY
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition: April 15 – June 17\, 2023 \nOpening Reception: April 15 \nArtist Talk by Jihan Gearon: Thursday\, April 20\, 6 pm \nJihan Gearon: TRICKY includes and builds upon the artist’s past project SURRENDER: Quarantine Questions | Pandemic Wisdom. To surrender\, to give oneself up – was the key theme of that body of work. In surrendering\, Gearon is learning to believe in herself; give and receive love more deeply; foster excitement instead of fear; and transform bitterness\, isolation\, and ego into compassion\, wisdom\, and awareness that all is connected. But surrendering can be tricky. What about all those parts of ourselves we don’t want to be\, let alone surrender ourselves to? What of doubt\, jealousy\, pride\, fear? How can we navigate those chaotic waters? Previous and new paintings will offer guides\, warnings\, and experiences through tricky situations. \nJihan Gearon is an Indigenous feminist\, painter\, writer\, organizer\, and leader in environmental justice. Gearon is Diné and Nahiłií (Black)\, originally from the community of Old Sawmill\, Arizona on the Navajo Nation; she is Tódích’ií’nii (Bitter Water clan) and her maternal grandfather is Tł’ashchí’í (Red Bottom clan). Gearon is a graduate of Stanford University with a Bachelor of Science in Earth Systems and a focus in Energy Science and Technology. She currently serves on the advisory board of the Environmental Justice Movement Fellowship at The New School. Her work over the past 15 years – particularly with the Black Mesa Water Coalition\, the Indigenous Environmental Network\, and the Climate Justice Alliance – has made her a nationally recognized movement leader in environmental and climate justice\, just transition\, Indigenous Peoples rights\, and Indigenous feminism. Gearon was awarded the NDN Changemaker Fellowship in 2020\, the Black Women Green Future Award in 2021\, and is featured in the recently released book Notable Native People. At the age of thirty-five\, Gearon was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. As part of her journey of healing she turned to painting and has since prioritized it in her life. She believes art encourages the nuanced and difficult conversations necessary in today’s changing world.

SUMMARY:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\n\nNeo-classical piano renegade x culture innovator. Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III)\, grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8\, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. When it came to music\, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop\, adopting rap names. However\, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed\, neo-classical debut album Black Book\, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations. BLKBOK’s live\, high-energy performance is culturally reflective and seeks to entertain with a live piano based performance like none you have ever seen before. BLKBOK’s vision is to illuminate awareness for all\, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in the way we perceive ourselves and the world we live in together. BLKBOK’s critically-acclaimed debut album Black Book\, served as a founding cornerstone at the very first Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert and was re-released as a DLUX Edition in June\, with two new tracks\, Forgotten Girls and Kendrick + Karine\, covering relevant topics in mainstream culture\, and in the voice that is uniquely BLKBOK. His first Mixtape release\, CVRART\, and Mixtape project Angels Watching Over Me\, with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee\, illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. His original track Stars (Ad Astra) was performed as the first-ever piano duet from Space in April 2022. More info x vibes visit BLKBOK.com + Follow @BLKBOK \nSave 10% with membership!
