SUMMARY:On the Table: Arts + Advocacy Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join ART WORKS Projects for a conversation about the role of art in creating a more equitable society. Together we will take a look at some of AWP’s work throughout the years and consider how art can make an impact on human rights around the world. \nSome questions we’ll discuss together: Are images effective in creating lasting change? How can they be more effective? What was an image that affected you emotionally / sparked your interest in a human rights issue / led to you taking action? \nPlease click here to register for this free event. \nThis conversation is part of Chicago Community Trust’s 2018 On the Table\, an annual forum designed to create opportunities for conversations centered on community improvement throughout Chicago. \nThis program is free and open to the public.\nSnacks and beverages will be provided.

SUMMARY:Transitions at the Congo International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:ART WORKS Projects is pleased announce the exhibition of Transitions at the Congo International Film Festival in Goma\, Democratic Republic of the Congo from July 7 – 15\, 2018. \n  \nCONGO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL PRESS RELEASE \n  \nTransitions is a four-part international exhibition and cultural exchange between creative teams from Bogotá\, Colombia; Chicago\, Illinois; Goma\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and Sarajevo\, Bosnia and Herzegovina to co-curate a photography exhibition highlighting national journeys of transitional justice in post-conflict environments. \nThrough collaboration\, community conversations\, and workshops\, the four teams of curators and photographers reflect upon the experiences of each country’s evolution from war to peace\, alongside the lessons learned by their colleagues and audiences. This project considers multiple aspects of post-conflict society and challenges and successes at varying stages of transitional justice\, from across the centuries to recently established zones of fragile peace. \nPartners: \nBosnia and Herzegovina:\nThe Post-Conflict Research Center (PCRC)\nWARM Foundation\nPhotography by Midhat Poturovic \nColombia:\nCentro De Memoria Histórica\nPhotography by Juan Arredondo \nDemocratic Republic of the Congo:\nYolé!Africa\nPhotography by Martin Lukongo \nUnited States:\nArt Works Projects\nPhotography by Sophia Nahli Allison \nMajor funding for Transitions is provided through the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation International Connections Fund. \n  \nPhoto: Martin Lukongo\, Goma\, 2016.  A young female student listens to instruction at the Complexe Scolaire Benevolence\, a private school founded with the goal of strengthening Congolese development through increasing general and administrative education. After decades of underinvestment in education\, the government announced plans in 2010 to make all primary education free. Despite this commitment\, and support from a coalition of international development organizations\, school fees are still a barrier for many families and a large percentage of children do not attend school\, especially in conflict-impacted zones.  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening of Deported: An American Division
DESCRIPTION:Please join ART WORKS Projects for the opening of our fourth annual Emerging Lens exhibition Deported: An American Division by photographer Rachel Woolf. We will be joined by Woolf who will give a short artist talk about her work. To learn more about the Emerging Lens Mentorship Program\, click here. \n  \nRemarks to start at 6:30pm.\nRefreshments will be served.\nFree and open to the public.  \n  \nWoolf’s project began in late July 2017 when she met Lourdes Salazar Bautista days before her deportation hearing in Detroit. Bautista had been living in Ann Arbor\, Michigan for the past 20 years along with her children Pamela (19)\, Bryan (14)\, and Lourdes (16) who were all born in the United States. Though the family was hopeful that Bautista would be granted permission to stay in the U.S.\, it was determined at her hearing that she would be deported. Bautista\, along with her two younger children\, left for Mexico soon after the hearing in August 2017.\n \n\nThrough Woolf’s focus on Bautista and her children\, we can better understand the nuance of deportation and the impact it has on families and their communities. Woolf returned to Mexico in May 2018 to update her story on the Bautista family and provide an intimate glimpse into what life after deportation is like for families who are forcibly removed from the United States and sent to countries that are at once strange and familiar. \n  \n  \nPhoto: Lourdes Salazar Bautista\, formerly of Ann Arbor\, put her hands to her heart as she expressed concern for her children\, moments after leaving the meeting confirming her deportation order on Monday\, July 31\, 2017\, outside the ICE Enforcement Camp; Removal Operations Office in Detroit\, Mich. Bautista had been granted continued temporary stays in the country after her husband was deported\, so that she could care for her children. \n  \nSUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT\nMany thanks to our generous Community Sponsors: \n  \nThe Henry Nias Foundation\n \n  \nFriedman Law Group\, Ltd.\n \n  \nTo learn how to become a sponsor of the Emerging Lens Mentorship Program or Deported: An American Division\, please contact Annalise Flynn-Taylor at ataylor@artworksprojects.org.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening of Women of Togo
DESCRIPTION:Please join ART WORKS Projects for the opening of our exhibition Women of Togo by photographer Zoe Rain in partnership with Integrate Health. We will be joined by Rain who will give a short artist talk about her work. \n  \nRemarks to start at 6:30pm.\nRefreshments will be served.\nFree and open to the public.  \n  \nTogo\, a country of eight million people\, has been forgotten by much of the world. UNICEF named Togo the 15th Most Dangerous Place to be born in the world in 2018. Nearly one in ten children will not live to see his or her fifth birthday—a rate fifteen times higher than that of developed countries. The five major killers of children in Togo—malaria\, diarrhea\, pneumonia\, HIV\, and malnutrition—are all easily treatable conditions. \nIn February 2018\, photographer Zoe Rain joined Integrate Health/Santé Intégrée\, a community-led international health organization working to create a world where everyone\, everywhere has access to high-quality healthcare in Togo\, West Africa. Rain toured four clinics in the rural communities of Djamdè\, Kpindi\, Sarakawa\, and Adabewere where\, historically\, a lack of resources\, including no running water or electricity costs lives. The artist was on hand to document the impact that clinic renovations had to these distinct\, isolated communities. \nIn Women of Togo\, Rain uses a skill set and aesthetic cultivated capturing celebrity portraits—a look that we have come to associate with red carpets and award shows—to document the integrity\, autonomy\, self-reliance\, and pride of Togolese women. For many Togolese\, the frustration of having no opportunities\, options\, or resources can leave people feeling that they have no control. Integrate Health works to empower families to regain ownership over their health\, something Rain beautifully illustrates through her photography. \n  \nTo learn how to support Women of Togo as it is exhibited in Chicago and around the world\, please contact Annalise Flynn-Taylor at ataylor@artworksprojects.org.

SUMMARY:Support AWP this Giving Tuesday!
DESCRIPTION:Since ART WORKS Projects (AWP) launched its work as a human rights arts advocacy organization in Chicago over a dozen years ago\, it has established a significant global footprint. Using public art to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers\, AWP has inspired audience members on five continents to support an end to grave human rights abuses. While proud of our impact\, we know more essential work needs to be done. And so\, as we prepare for the decade to come\, AWP is proud to announce the Next Steps Campaign 2020. \n  \nSince 2006 we have exhibited in over 60 cities in 30 countries on five continents. We’ve supported more than 100 artists and launched over 25 individual multi-media projects. As an organization\, we’ve relied primarily on heavily invested volunteers and friends like you. We’ll always be an entrepreneurial team – but now is the time to support this bold success with the staff and infrastructure that can leverage the global network we’ve built together. \n  \nOver the coming months\, the staff\, board\, and friends of AWP will build up the financial support necessary to ensure that on January 1\, 2020\, this unique organization is ready to make an even bigger impact on the human rights challenges we face today and the ones we must guard against tomorrow. \n  \nClick here to join the campaign by making your 2018 Giving Tuesday donation! \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Prosecutors at The Hague Film House
DESCRIPTION:19 June has been International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict Situations (proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly) since 2015. \nIn The Prosecutors\, director Leslie Thomas talks about this subject. War is accompanied by rape and looting. Thomas asks the right question – why we should tolerate sexual violence as a by-product of those wars? The film shows that prosecution in this area is slowly changing\, although lawyers\, governments and citizens’ initiatives are working hard on it worldwide. We see examples of this in the film: three legal prosecutors in Colombia\, Bosnia & Herzegovina and the Democratic Republic of Congo respectively\, are fighting for justice. \nAfter the film there is a conversation with the filmmaker\, Leslie Thomas\, who comes to The Hague for this purpose\, and with Niamh Hayes\, “legal expert in prosecution of gender-related war crimes.” \n  \nFor more information about The Prosecutors\, please visit www.theprosecutorsmovie.com.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening of Life After a Hate Crime
DESCRIPTION:Please join ART WORKS Projects for the opening of our fifth annual Emerging Lens exhibition Life After a Hate Crime by photographer Megan Farmer. Farmer will be joined by Dr. Iván Arenas (see bio below) to discuss this project and take questions from the audience. To learn more about the Emerging Lens Mentorship Program\, click here. \n  \nRemarks to start at 6:30pm.\nRefreshments will be served.\nFree and open to the public.  \n  \nFarmer’s project follows DaShawn Horne\, his family\, and his community as he fights to recover from a racially motivated attack that occurred in early 2018. Farmer’s relationship with Horne and his family is ongoing; this exhibition will include recent interviews with the family as Horne continues to rebuild his life.  \n  \n“The Horne family welcomed me into their upended lives after a brutal hate crime changed everything. DaShawn Horne\, a young father\, was beaten within an inch of his life. After suffering a traumatic brain injury\, he had to relearn everything he once knew. He is still recovering today. Not only was DaShawn’s life forever changed\, but the lives of his family members were too. My hope is to shed light onto the realities that hate crime survivors and their families are left with long after news headlines fade\,” says Farmer about Life After a Hate Crime. \n  \nDr. Iván Arenas is a Mexican-American anthropologist\, architect\, artist\, activist\, and parent. His research focuses on how social movements use creative art practices to establish solidarities beyond the state. Dr. Arenas works with Chicago Torture Justice Memorials to provide reparations for Chicago’s racially motivated law enforcement violence and with the ACT Collective using art to build political artistic collaboration and dialogue across Chicago’s multiple communities. Dr. Arenas is the Associate Director for Community Partnerships at UIC’s Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy (IRRPP). At IRRPP\, he works to connect faculty\, students\, and the community through research and programming on race\, ethnicity\, and public policy that enable not just greater understanding of racial inequalities\, but mobilizes towards collective action. He received his Ph.D. in Anthropology in 2011 from the University of California\, Berkeley. \n  \nPhoto: LaDonna Horne becomes emotional after one of the first times that her son\, DaShawn Horne\, made a sound on Thursday\, March 15\, 2018\, at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Three days later\, DaShawn spoke words that could be understood. \n  \nSUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT\nMany thanks to our generous Community Sponsor: \n  \nThe Henry Nias Foundation\n \n  \nTo learn how to become a sponsor of the Emerging Lens Mentorship Program\, please contact Annalise Flynn-Taylor at ataylor@artworksprojects.org.
